Here Is a Sensible Treatment
That Gives Prompt Results
For real, downright, harassing,
discomfort, very few disorders can
approach so-called skin diseases,
such as Eczema, Tetter, Boils, erup
tions, scaly irritations and similar
skin troubles, notwithstanding the
lavish use of salves, lotions, washes,
and other treatment applied exter
nally to the irritated parts.
No one ever heard of a person be

disease whose blood was in good
condition. Therefore, it is but log
ical to conclude that the proper

WOODWARD MAY
ENLARGE DEPT,
New Secretary of Internal
Affairs Has Bill Prepared
For Big Expansion
Plans of James F. Woodward, sec
retary of Internal Affairs-elect, to en
large Vhe activities of the department
over which he will assume charge
the flrsM Tuesday of next May have
been worked out and four bills have
been prepared for submission to the
Legislature within a week. They call
for transfer of the bureau of mu
nicipalities from the Labor Industry
Department to Internal affairs, create
bureaus of statisticcs and geological
survey and make the secretary custo
dian of all State deeds and other
realty papers. The present bureau
of land, standards, railways and as
sessment and taxes ate not disturbed.
Mr. Woodward has discussed the pro.
posed changes with Governor Wil
liam C. Sproul.
The Department of Internal Affairs
which is a department established by
the constitution, has been much dis
cussed in recent years and once an
attempt was made to abolish it. It
now has thirty-eight officials and at
taches with a salary list of $35,000.
The appropriation for all purposes
to the department is $152,500.
The bill hiaking the secretary cus
todian would enlarge the work of
the land office bureau because all
titles and documents relative to for
est reserves, armories, hospitals and
the like owned by the Common
wealth would bo in his care. Many
of these papers are now in the hands
of the Auditor General.
The proposed acts relating to new
bureaus repeal those treating the
bureau of municipal statistics in La
bor and Industy and the Geological
and Topographical Survey, which
was created by act of 1899. The
bureau is now headed by J. Herman
Knlsely, former clerk of select coun
cil of Harrisbufg and contains si*
persons.
It is not the intention to disturb
the bureau of statistics and informa
tion in the Labor and Industry de
partment, which is closely allied
with the Workmen's Compensation
si-stem or to interfere with the statis
tics which it is doing in connection
with Industries. For years there was
a bureau of statistics in the Intern
al Affairs department, but with the
creation of the Labor department it
gradually dwindled and only one
clerk has handled Its work. Mr.
Woodward intends to revive this bur
reau and will ask authority for ad
ditional work. It will be depository
for statistics of railroads, mines, in
dustries and the like operated in con
junction with the proposed municipal
•bureau. For years the third class
City League has been asking for a
! bureau of municipalities and the
Woodward bills would make the
bureau a clearing house for mu
nicipal information. It would "class
ify, index, make available and dis
seminate data" that may be helpful
improving the methods of adminis
tration and municipal developments
with special reference to accounting,
future planning of highways, parks
playgrounds, buildingss and the like,
"preservation of natural and historic
features" and the making of plans
and surveys. All municipalities are
required to furnish the information
asked and the secretary is to ap
point all attaches needed fix salaries.
The only office specified is the chief.
No salaries are mentioned. This act
and the others would become ef
fective in May when Mr. Woodward
takes office.
Ex-Senator George W. McXees, of
Kittaning, is chief of the present
Geological Survey. There are two
vacancies on the board and the only
attache is K. R. Hice, Beaver, state
geogolist. The idea is to transfer
it to the department and give it a
permanent place in the Capitol.
Conferences will be held during
the week in regard to the limits
to be placed on weight, length and
width of trucks, the Dithrich bill
backed by the Motor Federation of
I Pennsylvania being the basis. The
present weight is 24,000 pounds and
tliis figure is favored by the Senate
i Highway officials. Some people want
to make it higher. Ninety inches
is favored for width, but length is
the point of controversy. The bill
now has a 25 foot length, originally
tfleing 20. The advocates of extra
length want 28 feet, but 22 feet is!
I suggested.
French Bark Sunk
In Collision; Sixteen
of Crew Perished
New York, Feb. 24. The French
bark, Helena, was sunk early Satur
day morning in a collision with the
Norwegian freighter, Gansfjord, off
Winter Quarter light, Virginia, and
sixteen of her crew perished. Eigh
teen survivors, including her skip
per, Captain Maisoneuve, were
brought liejre today.
The survivors were brought here
on the Gansfjord, with her bows
stove in and her forepeak full of
water. The Helene, bound from
Baltimore to Nantes, was loaded
chiefly with steel and went down
like a plummet. The Norwegian,
which was bound from Cabanas,
Cuba, for New York, is a steamer
of only 1,087 tons gross compared
with 3,456 tons for the sailing
vessel.
Harvest Will Yield
Only Half Normal
Cfap in Germany
Berlin, Feb. 24. Herr Ramm,
Under Secretary of the Ministry of
Agriculture, gave a gloomy picture
of the prospects of the coming har
vest at the meeting of the German
Agricultural Society Saturday. He
Baid that nothing better than half
a normal crop could be expected
this year. This was due to the
lack of fertility and the impover
ished condition of the soil.
Ilerr Ramm said that a return
to normal agricultural conditions
was improbable before 1921.

DRAFT BOARDS TO
USE JUDGMENT
Major Murdock Says Anti-
Alicn League Is For
Members
Major W. G. Murdock, chief draft
officer, who has been asked by a
number of members of draft boards
in Pennsylvania as to whether they
should become, members of an or
ganization being formed under au
spices of some northwestern boards
relative to aliens and employment,
that they should not become con
nected officially. What the mem
bers do they must be In accord with
their own Individual judgment, says
he. A draft board as such can only
take cognizance of things pertaining
to the draft. -
Members of boards have received
circulars from the associated boards
of Seattle and King county, Wnsh
ingtAi, whioh formed an organiza
tion to deport aliens who had claim
ed exemption from military servicg.
The western men say that the ex
emption of aliens was the most exas
perating experience of the boards
and denounce the conduct of aliens
who are charged with not being will
ing to bear any burdens and that
many still retain good places to the
exclusion of returned soldiers.
Another matter mentioned in the
circular from Seattle refers to the
prohibition of immigration and
urges that it be stopped for a period
of years and that members of draft
boards use their combined influence
against it.
