Naco, Sonora, October 1.-The interna- tional boundary here was marked today by American flags, and Colonel Guilfoyle. commander of the American border pa- t.ol, placed protecting outposts where the Mexican forces attacking and defending Naco could be closely watched.

HOW TO HEAL
 SKIN TROUBLES

Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm. rashes and similar itching skin troubles.
 At any reliable druggists's get a jar of resinol ointment and a cake of resi- mol soap. These will not cost a bit more than seventy-fiv cents. With the res incl soap and warm water bathe the af- fected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is soft ened. Dry very gently. spread on thin layer of the resinol ointment and cover with a light bandage--if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice day. Usually the distress ing itching and burning stops with the first treatment and the skin soon be- comes clear and healthy again. For free samples of resinol ointment and resinol soap, write Dept S4-R, Resinol. Baltimore. Md.
