HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive.
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes. and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar OF
resinol ointment and q cake Of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor.
oughIy, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer OF the
resinol ointment. and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice q day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again,-Adv.

She raised her arm and passed a
hand over her forehead and across her

There came a ring at the phone.

For the benefit Of the b%ewildered
reader 1t should be said that there are
two distinct species of chickens. There
Is the chicken which you find in the
barnyard, In the incubator, or on a
hat. And there is the type indigenous
to State street, Chicago. Each is
known by its feathers. The barnyard
variety may puzzle the amateur
fancier, but there is no installing the
State street chicken. 1t is known by
its soiled, high, white canvas boots;
by its tight, short black skirt; by its
slug pearl earrings; by its b%ewildering
couture. By every line of its slim
young body, by every curve Of its
cheek and throat you know it Is ador-
ably, pitifully young. By its carmined
lip, its near-smart hat, its babbling

looks boldly out of it's eyes you know
it is tragically old.
Seated in the Pullman car, with a
friendly newspaper protecting her

Grasses should be reckoned with

artificial grasses which, like the nat
ural ones used, have been dyed into
all the lovely colors of the season
and are used In connection with small
flowers with such fine effect that they
are sure to be in increasing demand
as the season advances.
Small flowers appear to lead in pop

discrepancy between the liking for
them and for larger varieties.
Wreaths and bouquets made of sew

the use Of many harmonizing colors

These pretty accessories seem to
belong to the fabrics which are pop

crepes in cotton or silk which are so
attractive In appearance and in price.
Many of the cotton fabrics and the
light wool challies are as beautiful in
design and coloring as the most ex-

patterned, but they range in price be-

sometimes may be bought for even
