Louisville. KY. Aug. II. 1912: my skin

and they ruined the looks of my face and
arms. Just as soon as / heard of Resinol

them, and they gave me relief at once; the
first application stopped the burning and
itching, and it made my skin cool and fresh

him at night to keep him from scratching

Mr.. Sawyer broke into the proceed

could discuss them from both sides.
Mr.. Sawyer stated that not one

AS the speaker dwelt upon the re-
call, a storm of cheers broke out from
the audience and a hum Of interest
swept over the room. Several times
Mr. Sargent declared for recall of
the commissioners and each time he
was received with cheers. He finally
sat down in the midst of the applause
and Major Collins again took the floor.
He read the second resolution, pass
ed at the last meeting and spoke in
it's behalf, criticizing the commits
sioners for the lack of competence in
Office, declaring that City Clerk Sand
berg was not attending to his duties
properly, and saying that the records
of the proceedings of the. council were
not kept in business-like manner and
in some cases had been lost.
In support of his statements, Major
Collins read resolution passed by the
council to the effect that ordinance
1853 be corrected to date September
IA, 1912. instead Of September 15,
1912, as shown on the records. Major
Collins declared that he discovered
the error and that September 10, was
on Sunday, and stated that in his
estimation, 1t showed gross careless
ness on the part of the council or Of
the city clerk
