foremost on the pavement. On exam
iration at the hospital DR.. A. H. Arp
found that the skull was fractured at
the back Of the head. He has not yet
recovered consciousness and his iden-
t.ty remains mystery, as the only

Why SalveS Can't Cure Eczema

Since the old-fashioned theory Of cur

given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermis
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous sue
