ITCHING EASILY

Why Suffer With Skin Humors When
You Can Heal them So Quickly?
Don't stand that itching eczema tor
ment one day longer. Go to the near
est druggist and get jar Of Resinol
Ointment and a cake Of Resinol Soap.
Battle the eczema patches with Resin

apply a little Resinol Ointment
The torturing itching and burning
stop instantly, you no longer have to
dig and scratch, sleep becomes posi-
BILE, and healing begins. Soon the
ugly. tormenting eruptions disappear
completely and for good.
Resinol Soap (25c). and Resinol
Ointment ,5Oc and 81, are also speed

dandruff, sores and many forms OF
piles. Prescribed by doctors for the
past eighteen years, and sold by prac-
tically every druggist in the United
States. For trial free, write to Dept.
AIR, Resinols, Baltimore, Md. Don't
be deceived by preparations similar
in name or appearance, offered as
lust like Resinol," by a few unscru-
pulous dealers. They are crude imi-
tations upon which such dealers can
make a few cents extra profit-at
your expense.

WOMEN TO TALK
TO WORKING GIRLS

Women interested in the proposed
guest house for working girls will visit
factories where girls are employed
at noon tomorrow, in order to obtain
expressions of opinions from such
girls as to what the institution should
stand for. The primary object of the
visit tomorrow is to talk with with
girls who probably will take rooms
in the guest house building, and to
ascertain more definitely what plans
working girls would like to have car
ried out in the remodeling of the
building and in it's management.

there are large areas which are suscepti-

cacao growers some time ago sought
further to maintain steady prices by a
valorization scheme similar to the cof-
fee valorIzation of the Brazilian gov
ernment. The plan. however, required
the cooperation # other chocolate
producing countries, and 1t was found
that the difficulties of an international
price agreement to be secured through
control of the market were too great
to be surmounted, and the proposed

in Guayaquil is not worth bringing home.
The prices Of the good ones range from
IS to SIS. while very fine ones cost from
$25 to 500. The traders come aboard
the steamers at Guayaquil and display
their wares, asking all sorts of prices.
No experienced traveller makes any pre-
tense Of buying until the ship is about
ready to leave. By that time the price
drops approximately to the actual value,
but never goes below it.
Nobody ever gets a Panama hat at
bargain-counter rates in Guayaquil. A
trick some of the dealers and traders
have is to mark the supposed price in
place where it is not too apparent, yet
is bound to be seen. They begin by ask
ing figures far above< that price. then
drop to it, and, as the ship is leaving,
they concede a further drop considerably
lower. The innocent buyer who notes
the price mark, which usually Is in Eng
lish pounds sterling and shilling, thinks
that he has obtained a real bargain. but
he has not. What he does obtain is a
genuine Panama Of good quality at a

regulations. and for a time. when Quay
aquil seemed disposed to do nothing in
the way of sanitation, it looked as though
Paita would be the beneficiary. There
was little of Ecuador's products that
could be diverted overland to Paita, but
with the big steamship lines cutting out
Guayaquil as a port Of call, its impor-
tance was bound to be enhanced. This is
not likely to happen now. yet Paita will

subdued excitement hung over the place.

why?

there is a saddlelfke depression not more
than 1850 feet above sea level, which
furnishes a practicable railway route.
while all the other routes across the
Andes require elevations Of 1900 to
1900 feet.
Paita has many claims on the tourist
travel. 1t is a dry town, one Of the
dryest in the world, for nobody can recall
a genuine rainfall. Vegetation is coaxed
in the sandy soil, and some of the houses
have vines and a dwarf growth Of shrub
berry. On a high hill back of the town
there is also scraggly tree. One Of the
tales told the credulous travellers is that
the tree is only a painted one, but who
ever climbs the hill finds to the contrary.
Chimbote. farther down the coast on
the Bay of Ferrol is one of the places
with the greatest possibilities, since the
harbor is a splendid sheltered one. CHM
bote has possibilities both as a military
and as commercial port. 1t is some
times compared to Vladivostok, Russia's
great Siberian port.

worth of Panama hats are exported from
Ecuador every year. This is a cottage
industry located in several districts where
the palm fiber straw grows. The popu-
larity of Panama hats all over the world
has not been diminished by changes in
style and Ecuador counts on hat-making
as a permanent industry.
Sanitation of the port so that the west
coast steamers will put regularly into
Guayaquil is likely to add to the value
of this hat trade. Every tourist and
passenger on the west coast boats who
has the opportunity buys few Panama
hats. Friends at home who know nbth-
ing of their value cherish the deIusion
that the hats are cheap in the country
where they are made and can be picked
up for trifie. So they expect their
friends to bring them one The simple
fact is that the value of Panama hats is
nowhere better understood than in Ecua-

made.

It is easy to persuade her to tell of
the many interesting experiences that
have fallen to her lot, as companion to
q husband sent on queer missions and
stationed in alien places, because her
house is filled with fascinating things.
CLEANED on her travels, and each object
reminds her Of some curious story. some

astfc. sympathetic person, who talks
well and likes to talk.

At the time of the great procession a
little house was built on one of the main

of the ceremonies could be had This was

military attaches and from it Mrs. Bar
nett witnessed a very unusual sight The
roof of the pavilion. of canvas gorgeously

On their trip round the world came
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks to
Peking to stop with Maj. and Mrs. Bar
nett The Chinese government, wishing
to show every honor to the former Vice
President of the United States arranged
way.
This road from Peking to Kalgan, in
the north of China, was barely COM
pleted," said Mrs. Barnett. "As yet no
train had covered the whole distance, SO
it was as pioneers that we, for my hus-
mand and I accompanied Mr.. and Mrs.
Fairbanks, started on our wonderful
journey. The road lay through the heart
of the hills amid splendid scenery. At
each stop the stations were decorated;
we were greeted by the highest officials
banquets were arranged in our honor,
and we experienced to the full the pro-
verbal Chinese courtesy and hospitality.
To the populace, however, we were as
visitors from another planet, the train a
devil wagon; they marveled and feared,
yet curiosity drew them like a magnet"
More interesting still was Mrs. Bar
nett's account of their trip into Tibet.

towns and of visit to a Tibetan mon
