ONE YACHT WAS BURNED
 AT GRoToN LONG POINT
Albert Fish, Owner: Now on Trial for
 Boat Burned at Edgartown

Arguments for the prosecution and the defense in the trial of Albert Fish, charged with burning his yacht Senta at Edgartown for the $15,000 insurance he carried on the vessel, have been temporarily postponed at Boston, but it is expected the case will be com pleted this week. Fish, who fought in the Boer war, was shown in the latter part of the trial to have worked as floor walker for s20 per week while he owned two yachts and two automo- piles, which burned. The first santa burned at Groton Long Point ana the two motor cars at Mystic.
 After Fish applied for insurance on the second yacht, the inspector for the underwriters recommended the risk without having stuck knife blade into the planking and with only a cursory examination of the vessel following half hours talk with the owner.

ITCHING ECZEMA
IS DRIED RIGHT
Up WITH SULPHUR
Use like cold cream to subdue
irritation and clear
the skin.

Any breaking out or irritation on the
face, arms, legs and body when accom-
panied by itching, or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying little bold-sulphur,
says noted dermatologist.
He informs us that bold-sulphur in
stantly 9allays the angry itching and
irritation q, and soothes- and heals the
Eczema right ups leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied
a secure position for many years in
the treatment of cutaneous disorders be-
cause of its parasite-destroying =prop-
erty. Nothing has ever been. found to
take its place in treating the irritable
and inf1ammatory skin affections. While
not always establishing q permanent cure
it never fails to subdue the itching irri-
tation and drive the Eczema away and
it is often years later before any erup-
tion again appears. s I
Those troubled should obtain from anv
druggist an ounce of sulphur, which
is applied to- the affected parts in the
same manner as an ordinary cold cream.
It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief
afforded, particularly in itching Eczema,
proves, very welcome. -, -.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

London, Dec 10-The center of the
German army having occupied Lodz,
it is continuing in pursuit of the re-
tiring Russians, who have come to
standstill in strongly fortified posi-
tion, according to the official German
statement The statement adds that
east of the Warta river the fighting
for Lowicz continues. The strain on
both sides has been terrific and the
losses heavy and it is believed that a
lull probably will set in soon on this
part of the battle front while the troops
recuperate.
The Russians continue to assert
a strategical necessity rather than a
defeat, but it will take further de-
velopments to show whether this claim
is correct or not. Twice driven from
Warsaw the Germans again are in a
position to advance on the capital OF
Russian Poland, and even the British
press, which minimizes the impor-
tance of the taking of Lodz, points out
that it is on the trunk line railroad be-
tween Kalisz and Warsaw, which line
is being held by the Germans to
point considerably to the east Of Lodz.
Viewing the fighting in the Lodz
region in retrospect it would appear
that Germany month ago had a
crushing victory almost within her
grasp and lost it by not being able to
unite her forces, while later the Rus
slams were successful in gaining a
dominant position, which they could
not hold.
Germans on the Defensive.
In the western area, while it would
appear still generally true that the
Germans are more on the defensive
than the offensive, the news that they
have made a violent attack to the
south of Ypres indicates that they
have not abandoned the idea Of break
ing through to the French coast, and
it is said the pick of the German
western army has been concentrated
for this latest effort Attacks by the
allies and counter attacks by the Ger
mans apparently have not made es-
sential changes thus far in the posi-
tions of the opposing armies. The
Germans have resumed the offensive
in Belgium from the sea to the River
Lys. Artillery and infantry fighting
occurred in the region of the Aisne,
and on the heights of the Meuse and
in the Vosges hard fighting is in prog
ress, according to the French off cial
statement.
The French statement claims the
positions won by the French during
the past few days have been strength
ened and reports the occupation Of
German trenches in the Aisne region,
with progress on this front except at
one point where the Germans blew up
a French trench. The French state
ment says the French artillery on the
heights of the Meuse showed itself
the master of the artillery Of the in
vaders. The French claim some prog
ress here, as we'll as in the Argonne
and the forest of LIE Petre, where
they occupied some German trenches.

BAND OF VANDALS

Several times lately vandals have
broken into the water house and
closets on the school grounds and
broke the fixtures, causing consider
able damage. This malicious work
appears to be done by boys whose
highest ambition seems to be on
lines of destruction.
The law against defacing or dam
aging public school buildings or &C.
cessories is very severe, and if some
of these hoodlums are caught they
will find that they will be candidates
for the Reform School, and their
parents may have a bill to pay for
the damages.
There is something wrong in the
makeup of any boy who deliberately
destroys school property, which, of
all things, should be sacred to him
and something for him to protect.

such class of boys in this commun.

the following information concern
ing that animal and the proper
method of catching him:
"A wimpuss grows about as big
as a hooglebug, but it has a long
tail like a collywop and has wings
like bearcat. 1t lives in the tops
of high trees. whence it flies down to
attack defenseless travellers. How
ever, no harm is to be feared flom
wimpusses if you know what TO do
when you see one coming. 1t is
folly to shoot at them, for a vim
puss catches bullets in its t eth and
eats them. The only way to do
when a WimpuSS comes at YOU is to
take a small piece of cheese. either
Edam or Swiss, and tack it securely
on a waterfall. The wimpuss makes
a swoOp at the cheese and gets
mixed up with the waterfall and
gets his feet wet. 1t makes a vim
puss mad as all-get.out when he
gets his feet wet and so he hunts
around for a nice piece of grass to
dry them on. The minute the VIM
puss lights on the grass the hunter
rusbes at him and ties his tail in a
double bow-knot. When q wimpuss

flies he always ducks his head under
his body to see who is following

of the commonwealth. The State
is being flooded with petitions for
this and that and the danger pre-.
sents itself of the people becoming
inoculated with an ailment all too
prevalent in this country before
they sense the unhappy consequences.
The people are asked to subscribe
to petitions calling for constitu-
tional amendment enabling a five
million dollar bond issue for good
roads.
Sanction is sought to initiate Il
blacklist law.
The so-called 80 per cent bill has
secured sufficient endorsement to
qualify for the initiative.
The State constitution is asked to
stretch itself sufficiently to permit
of a five million dollar bond issue to
provide money for additional rec
lamation and development.
Petitions have been filed to enable
the initiation of a measure to have
every property owner make his own
assessment; to provide pensions for
mothers and aged persons; to give
the Board of Control power to es-
tablish sawmills, II printery; a State
banking system and many other
things; to abolish the State senate;
to give the State power to issue
bonds to any amount; to remove the
power of the legislature to appeal
or amend any initiated act; to con-
fer power upon the Supreme Court
to declare unconstitutional any
measure passed upon by the people.
Without reference to the merits
or demerits of any or all of these
measures, it must be obvious that
in their abundance they indicate
that would-be law proposers and
law disposers are seriously afflicted
with harem- -scarums. Can the peo-
pie be expected to reach intelligent
decisions when their minds are as
sailed with so many things? The
Intelligence of the average voter"
is theme which has given concern
to the most serious purposed leaders
of our Nation. The most intelli.
gent voter could not assimilate
properly all that is spread before

are leaders or who would like to be
known as leaders are making them
selves and their State ridiculous.
Ihe Corporation COMMISSION Is
fast qualifying as the most un-
worthy exponent of humbuggery
among the official bodies of Arizona.
1t is to be hoped that the warnings
sounded by Tucson's business men,
by the farmers of the State, and by
communities and individuals every
where, will have their intended sa-
lutary effect on the members of the
Commission. 1t is time that the
fever-endangered commonwealth ap-
ply the cooling properties of reason
and common sense to its brow. Let

ceed in orderly manner instead of
