The Return of Horse Racing.

From the Providence Bulletin
Horse racing will not soon get back
to the footing it held when Charles Evans
Hughes went after it with vigor as Gov
ernor of New York. Hard blows fell on
the sport from every quarter about that
time. nor was there much weeping out
side the professional element of injured
ones. because greedy race track owners
and still more greedy gamblers had done
all they could to prejudice public patron
age. Apparently now the true interests
Of racing as sport, considered from the
iewpoint of horsemen and holiday makers.

If Skin itclles And Breaks Out

GET OUNCE OF BOLp-sUGPHUR CREAM AND HEAL ECZEMA
 ERUPTioNs RIGHT UP.

For years, common bold sulphur has occupied secure position in the treat ment of cutaneous affections, by req son of it's parasite destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also antipruritic, antiseptic and remark ably healing in irritable and fnfiam- matofy conditions of the skin.
 The moment you apply it to an itch ing or broken out skin the itching stops and the healing begins, says a noted dernatologist Just common boh-sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt and remarkable results even in aggravated Eczema that it is a never ending source of amazement to physicians.
 While not always establishing a permanent cure it never fails to sub due the angry Itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any erup- ton again appears on the skin.
 Any good pharmacist will supply an ounce Of bold-sulphur cream which should be applied to the irritated or unframed parts, like the ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the eruption is ac- companied with itching.

NOW-and-THEN

Today on the steps of the United States Sub Treasury building, the exact spot where Washington stood when he took the oath of office, stands his bronze statue, whose legs have been worn shinny by the Irchins of Wall Street who have tried to climb up to touch the bronze hand of the father of the country. The point today is called the monetary nerve center of the country. The trees which shaded the narrow thoroughfare in Wash ington's day have all gone. and all about are buildings whose stony monotony towers several hundred feet above the scene. The land where Washington stood sold at s2.75 a square foot at that time; today it is valued at $500 a square foot, and is one of the most vafu- able tracts in the world The buildings about it are said to rep resent a real valus of $500 ,000, 900
 and in their vaults there ordinarily responses about a sixth of all the money in the United States. A stone's throw away, St. Paul's church stands with its back to Broadway preserved just as 1t was when Washington knelt there for his first prayer as President of the United States.

NEED Lle1T ON FACTS.

Unuuestionably the best thing which has happened in the Colorado strike trouble is the early exhaustion Of the state resources in it's endearor to es- tabfish peacefu4-eonditions in the coal regions Though the resources may seem to be inadequate and puay in view of the trouble it is doubtful if Colorado militia would be able to han f7le the situation whatevef the state funds might be. The case is one which calls for the exercise of absolute inn paftiaaity in the maintenance of law and order regardless of whatever may be the merits of the question upon which the strike is based. Through the regulars government will be back ed Hp and Iawlessness will be directly dealt with, as it should be, entirely aside from the labor difficulties m which the employees and employers are involved.
 It isn't through riot, damage and bieodshed that 8 just settlement of the differences are to be obtained Such only aggravates and incites, and causes a needless waste of life on both sides, including women and children. There gre undoubtedly many facts and con- dftions in the controversy which are as yet little known and efforts should be dersted to bringing these to the ffent in . straightforward manner, but such is not liable to result unless there is a recognition of the supremacy of the law. 1t Is to be hoped that the dis tribHtian of the regulars will result in the return of reason and good jadg- Haent, and resort to the best possible adjustment of the questions involved What is needed is not civil strife, but more light on the facts, the de- tnands and the concessions
