This old time skin healer is
used just like any
cold cream.

With the first application Of bold
sulphur cream the angry itching at

remarka bic healing powers begin. Sui
phur. says a renowned dermatolosis,
Just common bold sulphur. maze into a
thick cream will soothe and neal the
skin when irritated and broken ont with
eczema or any form OF eruption. The
moment il is applied all itching ceases
and after two or three applications the
Eczema disappesrr leaving the skin
clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers 20 get from
any good pharmacy an ounce of bold
sulphur cream and apply II to the irr-
tated. infamed skin. the same as you
would any cold cream.
For many years this soothing. hea l.

POLICE CHAFE UNDER
DELAY FILLING JOBS
Score of Captains on Anxious
Bench Until Three New Cap
tains Are Named.

Speculation is rife in police circles as
to the cause OF the delay in raining the
lieutenants who will be promoted to
captains to fill the three existing va
cancies in precinct commanders. One
vacancy has existed for several weeks,
while the other two occurred several
davs ago.
The three vacancies at the top of the
precinct ranks mean promotions all
along the line, with the result that a
score or more officers, hoping the
lightning will strike where they are
standing, are kept on the anxious bench.

who have visions of wearing stripes On
their sleeves with the rank of acting

In the meantime, the promotions and
changes which will have to be made
some time In the future, are the one
topic of conversation at headquarters
and around the station houses. Every
body wants to know what all the delay
Is about. but those who do know de-
cline to throw any light on the situa-
ton. At headquarters the usual an
nouncement was made that there would
be r ochanses announced today.
Just as every American boy has the
inherent right to become President, so
every private on the police force has
the right when a vacancy occurs to be-

URGE NEW MILITARY
PLAN FOR COLLEGES
Advanced Lectures by Qualified
Officers Proposed Instead of
Customary Practical Work.

The Importance OF military instruction
in the universities and colleges Of the
United States is discussed in an inter-
esting article in the current issue OF
the Infantry journal. the official organ
of the Infantry Association OF the
United States. The author of the ar
ticle is Lieut. Col H. c. Hale. now de-
tailed to duty in the Adjutant Generals
office In the War Department.
In q report Colonel Hale says.
submitted by one of the boards Of Of
ficesr detailed annually to inspect MILL
tary educational institutions, II was
stated that in certain Institutions Of
this class practical military work was
not contemplated and could not be
maintained. 1t was not recommended.
however. that this department In these
cases should be abandoned, but on the
contrary that It should be reorganized
and retained. for 1t was thought that,
properly conducted, It might be Of
great value to the Government ard to
tho institutions themselves. The latter
do not find II practicable to include in
their curriculum practical military drills
as O part Of their student course, and
tho students themselves 10 not take an
active interest In such drill.
Yet these institutions nend forth

not only in business. but also In poll
tics, and In such Institutions the Gov
ernment might do well TO abandon all
idea OF military organization or practi-
cal military training among the stu
dents and. instead, devote its attention
to the introduction of theoretical
course OF instruction in military mat
ters: this instruction to be impaired
through the medium Of lectures to be
prepared by specially qualified officers
in pursuance of a plan fully considered
and determined upon as best adapted
to the end in view.
Such a course, pursued at the class
of institutions referred 20. would meet
with their goodwill and approval. This
would result in greater real good to the
Government than could the present at
tempt at military drill. A scheme such
as that proposed, however. could not
succeed unless several conditions were
fulfilled: ,
Il. The character Of the lectures must
necessarily be of the highest. and their
preparation executed with the greatest
care.
20. The officer or officers selected for
their delivery must be selected with
equal care.
- The course must be given. not to

THE administration of COLLEGES Ia to a
great extent q business matter, and the

tend to advertise or increase the popu-
larity of the Institution will receive the
unqualified approval OF its officers. The
execution Of the plan outlined above

a dignity satisfying the demands OF the
institution and of a nature calculated
to attract the attention and maintain
the interest Of the student body.
"One important result of this policy
would be to reverse the anita agonistic at
titude concerning the military DEPART

its stead substitute one of friendship
and cooperation. This would naturally
law regarding the maintenance of the
military department at the subsidized
institutions would be satisfied without
expense to the institution and without

and frequently irksome.

sense Of personality between the school
and the Government, resulting In
