THE lack Of savings banks in Mis-

We must look to the laws of the state

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
mOnths old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave q scale. Then 1t would
break out again and It spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
1aco broke out all over in red bumps
and It kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. / bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had It about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got q bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
Sor cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put

ECZEMA TORTURES
INSTANTLY Relieved
Cured by an External Treatment

You are remarkably fortunate n you
are without some skin trouble. II may
be only pimples or blackheads, or
chapped hands, or the accidental sore,
cut, scald, burn or boil, or the car
buncle or felon, or perhaps the more
serious diseases OF eczema, herpes,
erythema, seborrhoea, or psoriasis, or
inilamed piles, or some common irrita-
ton OF the skin. There is one stand
ard sovereign remedy within your
ready reach, and which you can pur-
chase at any druggists. 1t is Resinol
Ointment, put up in screw-top opal
containers, selling at fifty cents and
dollar, according to size. It is ever
ready for use, and as easy to apply as
cold cream or vaseline. Thousands OF
physicians enthusiastically prescribe
Resinol Ointment and hundreds OF
thousands Of families depend upon 1t,
and are never without 1t. Reslnol
Soap is a chemically pure toilet soap
Of the highest grade. 1t contains In q
modified form the same medication as
Resinol Ointment, and is recognized
as n preventive for many skin
troubles, including blackheads, chap
ped hands and pimples. There is moth
ing better for the cleansing Of the
scalp and shampoolng. 1t prevents the
falling out of the hair. 1t is the in
fant's soap, par excellence, keeping
the skin sweet ana healthy and pre-
venting many OF the troubles which SO
often attack the delicate skin Of the
child. Ym will find the Resinol oint-
ment and Soap at all druggists.

Camden, N. j., Jan. 14.-The battle
ship Arkansas, the largest Dread
naught afioat, was launched from the
ways of the New York Shipbuilding
company at noon today
Without tremor, the giant vessel
slid from its rack -whc1 the ways
were dropped. 1t settled easily into
the water.
Secretary Of the Navy Meyer, AS
sistant Secretary Winthrop and a
delegation of Arkansas congressman
attended the launching. The Arkan-
sas was christened by Miss Mary Ma
con, daughter of Congressman Macon.
The battleship Wyoming, a sister
ship, will be launched soon. The
Arkansas is the first $4,000 ton battle
ship authorized by congress and ex-
ceeds in size any other battleship
ever built 1t will be surpassed,
however, by other dreadnaughts now
being built. According to specifica-
tions, it must make 2O1a knots an
hour.
The Arkansas is 562 feet long over
all; it's beam is SO feet at water line

$4,000 horsepower in its engine room.
Turbine engines we're installed.
The ship will carry an armament of
IL 12-inch guns, mounted in six tur-

these big rifles constitute the entire
armament. 1t will be provided with

THE SALEM
FIRE BOYS
DAND|ES
DEPARTMENT, IN SPITE OF HAN
DICAPPING CONDITIONS, DID
SPLENDID WORK IN CONTROL
ING EARLY MORNING FIRE.

The Capital Journal wishes to say
word of commendation in behalf of
the boys of the Salem fire department
for the way they extingulshed the fire
last night in the feed store building
Of Mr.. Thielsen. The building was a
large frame building, dry as tinder,
and the fire had been burning briskly
for some time before the alarm was
turned in at 2 O'Clock this morning
Fire hydrants were frozen and pave
ments were like glass with ice and
snow. In spite of this the men we're
at the scene a few minutes after the
alarm was turned in, end ~ hard
work, they got the frozen fire hy-
drants in working order and com
pletely extingulshed the fire, although
1t had been burning fercely for about
an hour in building full Of hay and
feed. If it had not been for their
prompt and efficient work the large
garage adjoining this building, and
separated by only foot of space,
would undoubtedly have taken fire.
AS it was they kept the water playing
on it and saved It.
Salem people read about fire de-
partments in other cities, but few of
them realize that Salem has one Of the
best fire departments of any city in
the United States.
