 With the first application of bold sulphur cream the angry itching att tending any eczema eruption ceases and it's remarkable healing powers begin. Sulphur, says renowned dermatologist, just common boId-sll- phur, made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritat- ed and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applications the Eczema disappears. leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it to the irritated, infiamed skin, the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years rTl1s soothing, heal ing sulphur has occupied secure position in the treatment of cutaneous affections by reason of it's parasite destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also antipruritic, an tiseptic and remarkably healing In all irritable and in1amnatory conditions of the skin. While not always estab- fishing a permanent cure it never fails to instantly subdue the irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the sxin.-Adv xx--.~Ss <r,, re.-.

Secretary Calls Il Legacy From
Tdfi Administration
COLOMBIAN PACT EXPLAINED

Secretary Of State Issues Statement
In Which He Disclaims Responsible
ity For Clause In Treaty With South
American Republic--Quotation From
Paper Framed During Taft Admin.
i5traton Shown by Bryan as Proof.
Washington, June 23.-That the
expression of regret" in the Colon
bian treaty was inherited from the
Taft administration is the contention
OF Secretary Bryan.
The secretary gave out a statement
in which he tries farther to place the
responsibility for the apology" for
the taking of Panama on the Taft gov.
eminent. The statement given out by
Mr.. Bryan says in part:
Now that the treaty has been
printed and made public b. the sen
ate committee | feel at liberty 20
answer your questions regarding the
so-called expression of regret
Article l of the treaty now before
the senate reads as follows: The
government of the United States of
America, wishing to put at rest all
controversies and differences with the
republic of Colombia arising out of the
events from which the present situa-
ton on the isthmus of Panama re
suited, expresses in its own name and
IN the name OF the people of the Unit
ed States sincere regret that anything
should have occurred to interrupt or
to mar the relations of cordial friend
ship that had so long existed be
tween the two nations.
The government Of the republic
OF Colombia in its own name and in
the name OF the Colombian people
accepts this declaration in the full as
surance that every obstacle to the
restoration of complete harmony be-
tween the two countries will thus dis
appear
in what is known as the Dubois
memorandum, adopted by the Taft ad-
miniStration, which presented the
basis upon which he was authorized
to negotiate a treaty, the following
language is used: The government
and the people of the United States
honestly regret anything should have
ever occurred to mar in any way the
long and sincere friendship that eX-
listed for nearly a century between
Colombia and the United States, and
the latter country has for years
earnestly desired to remove the i'll
feeling aroused in Colombia by the
separation of Panama.
ut will be seen from a comparison
OF the two paragraphs that they are
identical in meaning and almost
identical in language.
This comparison is made to show
that the two expressions of regret
are in all essentials the same"

| Waters Adds to Towns Danger.
/ Meadowlands, Pa. June 23.-Light-
ming struck a 30,O00barrel oil tank of
the Standard Oil company here and
! fire was started that has swept away
/ twentyfour dwellings. Six other
/ huge tanks are near the one in flames
and are in imminent danger of ex-
plosion.
The white hot sides of the tank
/ bulged and spread and the great mass
of boiling oil broke and swept through
the town. Houses afforded fuel to the
onrushing fire. Residents to the num-
/ Der of 400 went to the hills for safety.
One boy is missing, another is dead
| as the result of exposure.
! Meadowlands is a mining village
five miles east of Washington. The
houses burned were the property of
the Meadowlands Coal company. They
adjoin the Rich Hill mine.
| Immediately after the tank began
/ to burn hundreds of workingmen were
brought here to dig trenches, so that
/ the oil could be drawn away from the
tank. In this manner 5000 barrels of
petroleum were directed into the
creek. The oil on the water, however,
created new menace to the town.
The creek passes through the viii
lage and under railroad bridge. 1t
was feared that sparks from locomo-
tives might ignite the oil and wipe out
the town. Workingmen set to work at
once and the railroad bridge was COW
cred with sheet iron.
! Superintendent McCue, in charge of
the pump station here, put 100 men
directing water on nearby tanks.
There are about twenty-five of the big
oil receptacles within five or six acres.
/ The wind bore the flames dangerously
near other tanks. This was what
caused the blaze to spread, destroying

the sky and shuts out the sun for sew
eral miles around.
All possible precaution is being
taken to prevent residents from being
trapped in their homes in case an
other tank takes fire and boils over.
Excitement prevailed when the tank
containing the burning oil collapsed.
Oil flowed in every direction and the
flames licked up all that came within
reach.
w. r. Lehew, who came here from
Pittsburgh, is directing the work
being done by the railroad. All of the
fast trains are running through here
at slow rate and guards are kept at
the railroad bridge to give alarm in
case the oil on the creek should ignite.
The oil now burning will not die out
for two or three days, oil men say,
and in this time other tanks close at
hand may explode.
