SULPHUR IS THE
ONLY THING FOR
ITCHING ECZEMA
Use like cold cream to Subdue
irritation and clear
the skin.

In the treatment of the various forms
of disfiguring, itching and burning
Eczema such as Acne, RingWorn, Salt
Rheunn. there is nothing known that can
take the place Of bold-sulphur cream.
1t effects such prompt relief, even in
the aggravated Eczema, that it is a
never-ending source of amazement TO
physicians.
For years bold-sulphur has occupied
a secure position in the treatment of
cutaneous eruptions by reason of its
cooling, parasite-destroying properties.
Bold-sulphur is not only parasitIcidal,
but antipruritic and antiseptic, there
fore invaluable in overcoming irritable
and inlammatory affections OF the skin.
While not always establishing a perma.
nent cure, yet in every instance 1t in
stantly stops the agonizing itchina;
subdTes the irritation and heals the in
famed. raw skin right up and II is often
years later before any Eczema eruption
again appears.
Those troubled should obtain from
anv good pharmacist an ounce of bold
sulphur cream and apply it directly
upon the abrasion like an ordinary cold
cream. II isn't unpleasant and the
prompt relief afforded is very welcome.

INVENTS ALL-CANVAS
SACK FOR j. s. MAIL
leather Bottoms Cause of
Many Ills, Postoffice Worker
Finds.

Real leather bottoms are fine things
FOR chairs, but they are failures vine
lpplied to mail pouches. This has been
proved by George w, Whdlley. Of the
Postoffce Department, who has in
entcd an all-canvas sack that promises
o suppIant all the canvas-and-!eather
.ombinatio now in Jse.
For nearly twenty-seven years, Whal-
ey. whose home is in Riverdale. Nd.

4 First and K streets northeast. He
1as studied the rips and tears in the
thousands of bags that passed beneath
MS hand, much as a hospital physician
analyses the ailments of the patients
that are brought in. And after a while
this mail bag diagnostician began 10
classify the causes that led to mutlla-
lion, and most of them he laid at the
door of the leather bottom. wherefore
the all-canvas bag.
Leather Gets Wet.
The leather generally gets wet, and
stretches. with the result that when
the sack is suspended from the crane
In an inverted position its center is
lower than the V-shaped arm on the
nail car that is supposed to catch it in
passing This often causes 4 miss that
may send the bag and its valuable con-
tents beneath the flying wheels of the
train.
Another fault of the leather bottom
s that it spreads the sack out like
he mainsail of an ancient wind-jammer
and the rush of wind from the speeding
train sometimes carries il from its fast
enings or swings it so out of place that
the iron arm OF the mall car misses
il or rips II open.
The canvas bottom of the Whalley
sack is not fat, as were the old leather
Ones. but hemispherical. which has the
advantage of increasing its capacity.
The Whalley pouch weighs 32 pounds
and costs 80 cents to be carried given
distance. while the old type weighs FIVE
pounds and costs S1.69 to be carried the
same distance.
Simplifes Device
The inventor has also simplified the
pouch fastening device now in general
Use, which has reduced the weight as
well as shortened the process of locking
and unlocking the bags. He has but
one collar fastener strap. instead of
the intricate system of staples, grum-
NETS and straps in use for years.
The first test is now being made with
the Whalley type between Washington
and Greensboro, n. c. On February
Is, there were twenty-five of them put
into use. and to date only four have
been returned to the shop here for
minor repairs.
