"Drys" Win in -Four Parties.

Boise, Idaho - The county central
committees of four political parties
met and selected delegates to the state
platform convention which meets June
80. Prohibition was the issue in nam
ing the delegates and each party sent
a "dry" delegation to the platform
convention This, it is said, makes it
certain that dry plank will be insert
ed in the platform of all political par
ties this fall. The chief fights were
staged in the Democratic and Republi-
can committees. Prohibition forces
won easily in the Democratic meeting.

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS

Don't stand that itching skin humor
one day longer. Go to the nearest
druggist and get jar OF resinol oint-
ment (50c) and cake of resinol soap
(25c). Battle the eczema patches with
resinol soap and hot water, dry and
apply little resinol ointment.
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing itching and burning stop in
stantly, you NO longer have to dig and
scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
menting eruptions disappear complete
ly and for good.
