SAYS SULPHUR is SURE TO
RELIEVE ITCHING ECZEMA.
Get an Ounce of Bold-SuIphur Cream
and Heal Skin Eruptions
Kight Ep.

ANY breaking out or irritation on
the face, arms, legs or body when ac-
companied by itching, or when the
skin is dry and feverish, can be read
lily overcome by applying little
bold-suiphur cream, says noted der
matOlOgiSt.
lie informs us that bold sulphur
instantly allays the angry itching and
irritation and soothes and heals the
eczema right up, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has
occupied secure position for many
years In the treatment OF cutanCous
disorders because Of its parasite-de-
stroying property. Nothing has ever
been found to take its place In treat
ing the irritable and inflammatory
skin affections. While not always
establishing permanent cure it
never fails to subdue the itching irri-
tation and drive the eczema away and
1t is often years later before any
eruption again appears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at
any pharmacy an ounce OF bold-sul-
phur cream, which is applied to the
affected parts in the same manner
rs an ordinary cold cream. 1t isn't
unpleasant and the prompt relief af-
forded, particularly in itching ec-
Zema proves very welcome.--Adv.

William Bardel, his wife, his daugh-

Colby, the military attache OF Paris,
visited Bardcl recently to supply him
with funds. Colby reported that while
nearly every house in the nuarter

stroyed by shells, Bardels house,
oddly enough, had been left intact.
Colby said that Bardel and his fam
lily spent most Of their time during

STORING OF THE
SWEET POTATO CROP


in building a so-called cheal storage
house, FOR, in order to keep tie right
temperature, the cost Of fuel and the
trouble will very soon cOunterbalance
the extra expense Of building a good
storage house at the beginning.
If you store sweet potatoes in the
South bear this fact in mind; 1t YOU
want your potatoes to keep all
through the winter, carefully avoid
a storage house built or partly under
ground. 1t is simply impossible to
keep such a house dry, and If your
potatoes get at all moist while in
storage they will surely rot.
A storage house 20 by 40 feet will
comfortably hold 5000 bushels of po-
tatOes, and the house should be built
on posts to permit the free circula-
ton Of air around the building. On
the Sleepers lay rough floor of
plank, a thickness Of heavy building
paper on this, then put on a top of
matched flooring plank. For the
walls should be built by using I'M
dressed plank an inch thick, nailed to
the studding in diagonal. On top Of
this put a layer of building paper,
and over this wall Of matched sid
ing. Put layer Of ceiling plank on
the inside Of the studding, over this
thickness of building paper, then
put on wall Of matched plank for
the final inside wall. The scantlings
for such a building should be we'll
tied together, and be placed four feet
apart. A tight roof should be made
to keep out the rain and cold, and l
have found it an advantage to tack a
layer Of stout building paper on the
rafterS as additional protection
against cold air. 1t Is also best
to put on a layer Of the heavy
building paper on tie under side Of
the rafters, then over this a layer Of
matched siding plank.
All spaces between the walls
should be left open. The free circu-
lation Of air is the best thing to keep
the building free from dampness. AS
complete ventilation is necessary, it
is we'll to put three windows on each
side and door at each end. In a
house of this capacity there should
be three ventilators in the roof. The
windows should be two feet above

from the fact that the natural habi-

this tuber, sweet potatoes are now be-
ing grown on large scale by many

some inkling Of the events happen

From what can be deduced from
the fragmentary glimpses there
would appear to be justification, in
the opinion of British observers, for
the confident optimism on the part Of
the allies. British observers de-
scribe events as shaping themselves
for repetition of history as it was

All the brilliantly skillful tactics

however, have by no means ceased,
