s. s. CONVENTION
 IN MERIDEN SOON

A preliminary announcement of the coming State Sunday School Con vention to be held in Meriden Nov. 4-6 has been issued from the Hart ford office of the Connecticut Sunday School Association.
 Meriden is making preparations for a rousing convention, and the en- thusiastic committeeman are doing their best to have it eclipse the most Successful conventions of the past two years held in Hartford and Nor wich. For inspiration, for instruc- tion, for spiritual impulse, and for practical suggestion these conven- tions have proven beneficial for the workers of the 1000 Sunday schools to whom the call goes forward. More than 140, 1000 men, women and chill dren enrolled as teachers and scholars in these schools, have been benefited and enthused by the yearly gathering.
 The program this year Is even broader and more elaborate than. in the past. It includes eighteen ad- dresses before the main assembly. by many of the most prominent men and women Sunday school and religious workers of the country There will also be eighty half-hour lectures in the Institute Section which will oc- cupy the forenoon of each day, be- ginning at nine o'clock, and seven teen open conferences where the del- egates of each denomination may get together for discussion of problems peculiar to their particular work.
 Rev. Floyd w. Tomlzins. D. D., rector of the Holy Trinity Episcopal church of Philadelphia. will have charge of six Bible periods during the conventfon--one each morning and afternoon. Doubtless no other man in the country is so peculiarly fitted to conduct the devotions of a convention as pr. Tomkins.
 A feature of the program about which interest will center, will be the Sunday School peageant The mere announcement that this feature is, to to arouse the enthusiasm of those who saw the pageant in Norwich last year. Miss Anita B. Ferris, of Up- per Montclair, N J., who has achieved an unusual degree of sue cess, in this line will again be in charge and with the co-operatfon of the Meriden committee and 25o or more Sunday school scholars from the churches of Meriden, has arrang= l ed for a most educational and pie turesQue entertainment. The pageant is to be staged in Polls theatre, Thursday evening. Nov. 5, the second day of the convention.
 Meriden homes will be thrown open to the visiting delegates and a hospitable and hearty welcome is as- sured all who attend. The entertain ment committee will provide lodging in private homes at moderate rates. 1 Special hotel arrangements will be made for those who express this preference.

ITCHING ECZEMA
 IS DRIED RIGHT UP WITH SUI PHUR
Use like cold cream to subdue irritation and clear
 the skin.


 Constant or intermittent irritations producing itching and red, angry Ec- zema patches on the skin is readily relieved with bold-suIphur cream, The moment it is applied the itching stops and the healing begins, says a noted dernatologist.
 It effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated EezeTna that it is a. never ending source of amazement to physicians.
 For many years bold-su1phur cream has occupied secure position in the treatment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of it's cooling, parasite-destroy ing properties. It is not only parasi- ticidaI but also antipruritfc and anti septic and nothing has been found to take it's place in overcoming irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure, yet in every in stance 1t instantly stops the a.gonizing itching; subdues the irritation and heals the inflarned raw skin right up and it is often years later before any Eczema eruptions again appears.
 Those troubled should get from any pharmacist an ounce of boId-sulp 11ur cream and apply it directly upon the affected skin like you would any or dinary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Eczena is accompanied with itching.
