RlNGWORM ITCHED TERRIBLY

1545 AisQuith St, Baltimore, Md
My children were afflicted with what
they called ringworm of the scalp
contracted from a house-cat they were
playing with. The ringworm formed
on their scalps about the size Of a
silver dollar and their hair fell out,
leaving a round scale or crust on their
scalps. Their hair fell out in round
spots. There was terrible itching, and
they scratched till the blood came
They were very fretful and could not
sleep at night. and they were very
cross.
They were treated for several
months with no improvement whatso-
ever. | was told they would never
have any hair and would always be
bald. Then i began using Cuticura
Soap in connection with Cuticura
Ointment and the first week | could

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is one of the most
beneficent forces in forming character.
1t begets cheerfulness, content, radi,
ance of face and heartineSs of human
intercourse. The man who is bent on
discharging his debt in the way of the
recognition of the kindly services OF
which every day he is the beneficiary
is sure to get a keener eye for the
good about him, in others, and in the
world. The more sunshine he gives
away the SUMMER will his own life be,
come. Thanksgiving is one of these
things of which it is true, that the
more you give away the more you
have remaining, and for two reasons
the giving is a self-replenishing and
the giver is more and more filled with
the thanksgiving of others.

In its present form the constitution
Of China abolishes the cabinet and con-

exception is that of secretary Of state,
who is continued in charge Of foreign
affairs under the title of 'kuo-wuch-
ing" and whose Office is to be or
ganized after the model of the United
States. Other clauses debar the legis-
lature from participation in the max

sultative board, with which the presi-
dent is to determine all financial mat

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS

Don't stand that itching skin humor
one day longer. Go to the nearest
druggist and get jar of resinol oint-
ment (50c) and a cake Of resinol soap
(25c). Battle the eczema patches with
resinol soap and hot water, dry and
apply a little resinol ointment.
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing itching and burning stop in
stantly, you no longer have to dig and
scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
menting eruptions disappear complete

TURN GUNS ON MENcANs
PRESIDENT WILSON ORDERS THE
AMERICAN GUNS TO ANSWER
MEXICAN BULLETS
Insists That Firing Across Border
Shall Be Stopped-Estabiishes
New Precedent

Washington.-If the contending
Mexican forces opposite Naco, Ariz.,
do not cease firing into American ter.
ritory, the three batteries Of field ar.
tillery sent to the International line
will be ordered to return the fire.
This is the United States government
determination, it became known, after
full discussion of the situation by
President Wilson and his cabinet. No
specific orders have been given, but
while Brigadier General Tasker H.
Bliss, who was directed to proceed to
Naco with the field artillery, is en-
route there, officials expect an answer
to the sharp warning given to Mexi-
can factions battling across the Dor
der that bullets and shells must not
fall on American soil.
Defense, Not Aggression
No act of aggression" is contem-
plated, a statement issued by the white
house said, but officials draw a dis
tinction between aggressive and de-
fensive action. For cavalry or field
artillery to cross the Mexican line or
open fire at first, would constitute an
act of aggression, but to remain on
American soil and return the fire of
the Mexicans is, In the opinion of high
officials, a measure of defense fully
justified and not an act of war or In.
vasion.
The white house statement issued
by Secretary Tumulty, after confer
ence with the president, was as fol-
lows:
eft has been thought wise to
strengthen the forces at Naco because
of the reckless carelessness Of the
contending factions there in failing to
control the direction of their fire. OF
course no aggressive action is con-
templated"
1t was explained at the war depart
ment that the artillery ordered to
NacoE could fire over the Mexican town
into the lines of the Mexican faction
which insisted on firing into Ameri-
can territory. This is the plan should
warnings prove futile. The general ex-
pectation, however, is that no such
contingency will arise.
Rafale Zubarian Capmany, Carranza
agent here, issued a statement charg-
ing the Maytorena garrison at Naco
with responsibility for firing across
the, border and challenging Governor
Maytorena, on behalf Of General Hill,
the Carranza commander, to with
draw into the interior of Mexico for
a pitched battle. He made public a
telegram from General Hill declaring
the American military authorities at
Naco, Ariz., were discriminating in
favor of Maytorena's troops.
Bullets from our enemy are con-
stantly causing damage to the Ameri.
can town, but we are held responsible
for it, due to the discrimination.

.COTTONGOMM|I TEE
HOLD CONFERENCE
MEN FROM THE SOUTH DISCUSS
Ed PLANS FOR USE OF
LOAN FUND.
WILL REQUIRE REDUCTION
Estimated That $7o,oo0,oOo at Least
Of the $135, 900, 900 Pool Will Be
Applied for by Growers.

: Washington.-The $135, 900, cot
ton loan fund plan to finance the sur
plus cotton crop, was approved unani-
tee which will aid in handling the
fund in Southern States. The repres-
entatives held an all-day conference
with the cotton loan committee, which
has final supervision OF the fund.
Although no definite statements
were made at the meeting as to how
much cash will be drawn from the
fund, to carry the surplus crop, esti-
mates ranged from SIC, 00O, 900 to $780,
000, ZOO and members of the cotton
loan committees were confident hum
dreds of applications for loans would
be forthcoming before January /.
Most of those present believed that
between 100000 and 100000 bales
of cotton must be carried over until
next year. It as estimated that about
150,000,000 would be needed to take
care of this cotton, and it was the
general opinion that unless there is
natural expansion of credit through
out the South the loan fund will be
used to aid cotton producers.
There was evidence that many Of
the state committeeman agreed with
the idea advanced by officials here
that cotton producers next year must
cut their cotton production. The cot
ton loan committee will use every
means to convince growers of the ne.
cessity of curtailment.

included:

EDISON PLANT IS IN RUINS
ELECTRIC WIZARD LOSES NAM.
MOTH PLANT AT WEST Or
ANGE IN BIG FIRE
Loss Amounts to $1,000, ooo-Edison
Watched lt Burn And Said He

West Orange, N. J.-Fire destroyed
virtually the entire main plant of the
Edison company here, causing damage
estimated at nearly seven million dol
lar, with insurance that it is expect
ed will reduce the loss to approx
pately $5,0O0,00O.
An entire square block of modern
reinforced concrete buildings, which
were supposed to be fireproof, was
burned out by the flames. The only
building saved in the block was the
laboratory building, containing valua-
BILE scientific machinery, under the
immediate superintendent Of the in
ventor, Thomas A. Edison. Especial
efforts made to save this structure
were successful.
It is estimated that 5000 men and
women will be temporarily thrown out
of work because of the fire. In all
about 1000 persons were employed at
the plant, but as the storage battery
building across the street from the
main plant was saved with other build
ings nearby, it will be possible to keep
something more than half the force
employed.
Four firemen were injured fighting
the blaze and were taken to hospi-
tai.

Although I am more than 81 years
of age, I'll start all over again." said
Mr.. Edison. II am pretty well burn.

Washington. - Formal announce
ment of successful naval tests of coal
from government-owned fields in
Alaska was made by Secretary Dan

house. Trials by the cruiser Mary

found.
Three recommendations were made
by Secretary Daniels. They were:
Appointment of all second lieuten-
ants in the navy hereafter as "act-
ing second lieutenants" so that those
who do not measure up to require
ments after appointment may be
dropped.
Graduated system in retired pay of
naval officers on the basis of their
length of naval service and the extent
of their disabilities.
Authority for using part of a $40,-
900 contingent fund to protect the
navy,s rights and property on it's oil
land reserves.

trying to put its yards on business
basis with Industrial managers, trying
the plan at New York, Norfolk and
perhaps some other plants

The French have been particularly

operations the French lost heavily.
The battles in Poland continue al

success, apparently no decisive result
