edy.
Since It's discovery one year ago,
poslam, the new skin remedy, has. in
its extraordinary accomplishments,
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
lions of the eminent specialist who
gave II to the world. 1t has cured
thousands of cases of eczema and
eradicated facial and other disfigure-
ments of years standing. The terri
BILE itching attending eczema is stop
ped with the first application, giving
proof of its curative properties at the
very outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc, results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to eff
feet cure Those who use poslam
for these minor skin troubles can now
avail themselves of the special 80
cent package, recently adopted to
meet such needs. Both the 50-cent
package and the regular 81 jar may
now be obtained In Bennington at W.
l.. Gokay's and other leading drug
stores.
Samples for experimental purposes
may behad free of charge by writing
direct to the Emergency Laboratories

was so much wind. the feecy masses
piled up very fast. Night came and
the farmer had not been heard from.
His wife became frightened and
alarmed the neighborhood. All the
lneighbors joined the searching party.
On the third day they found him. He
was lying in hollow on the side OF
the hill with both feet frozen; he was
half covered with snow, but alive.
Most OF the sheep were alive.
| A farmer near Tewksbury, Vt,
owned large field OF corn. He built
| fires. Nearly every night he and his
men took turns in keeping up the fires
and watching that the corn did not
freeze. The farmer was rewarded
for his tireless labors by having the
only corn in the region.
July comes in with snow aud ice.
On the Fourth Of July ice thick as
window glass formed throughout New
England, New York, and some parts
of the state Of Pennsylvania. Indian
corn which in some parts OF the East
had struggled through May and June
gave up, froZe, and died.
! To the surprise Of everybody Aug
ust proved the worst month of all
Almost every green thing In this
!country and Europe was blasted with
frost. Snow fell at Barnet, thirty
miles from London, England on Aug
gust 80. Newspapers received from
England stated that 1916 would be
remembered by the existing gener-
atoms as the year In which there was
no summer. Very little corn ripened
in New England. There was great
privation, and thousands Of persons
would have persisted in this country
had It not been for the abundance OF
fish and wild game.

Pure Food Experts Doubt Purity
of Commodity Found in

The United States today brought suit
against LAO sacks of -four in the Su-
preme Court OF the District charging
violation OF the pure food law. The
-four is IN two lots. One Of l, 200 sacks
is labeled "Ctreta high grade patent
-four. Sanitary Grocery Company,
washington, D. c." This was con-
signed and shipped by the Orrville Mill
ing Company Of Chicago 10 the OrrYille
Milling Company of Washington The
Government charges that the label is a
violation of the pure fOOd law.
The second consignment, go sacks. is
branded and labeled Paragon Mime
sofa Cream Roller Process. Sole Agent
+. C. Swain and Company, Washing
ton. D. c." The Government alleges
that this is not Minnesota wheat, but
is of a variety commonly called "OhiO
Writer wheat"
This is the first case under the pure
foOd law OF 1906 where the Government
has held up "a commodity because the
labelling gave a false impression Of the
place where the goods were grown or
manufactured. Tne Minnesota wheat

-four f. supposed 20 be manufactured in

time and then the shorts were forced
TO subside for lack of opportunity 10

OF his immense holdings
The corn pit was never so crowded as
today. Momentarily an outbreak was
expected should opportunity develop.
During the tense strain OF irl ion
stories were told around of how i ten

day and their losses VIII aggregate Il
