IF SKIN ITCHES
AND BREAKS OUT
APPLY SULPHUR

For years, common bold-sulphur has
occupied a secure position in the treat
ment of cutaneous affections, by reason
of its parasite destroying property. 1t
is not only parasitieidal, but also anti
pruritic, antiseptic and remarkably
healing in irritable and infiammatory
conditions of the skin.
The moment you apply IL to an Itch
ing or broken out skin the itching stops
and the healing begins says a noted
derma tologist. Just common bold-s sui
phur made into a thick cream effects
such prompt and remarkable results,
even in aggravated Eczema that ii Is
a never ending source of amusement to
physicians.
While not always establishing per-
manent cure it never fails to suhdue
the angry itching and irritation and
heal the Eczema right UP and it is
often years later before any eruption
again appears on the skin.
Any good pharmacist will supply an
ounce of bold sulphur cream which
should be applied 10 the irritated or
inflamed parts, like the ordinary cold
creams. 1t isn't unpleasant and the
prompt relief afforded is very welcome,
particularly when the eruption is ac-
companied with itching.-Adv,

Baltimore, Md.-"About twenty years

The itching and burning was something
terrible. l would start to scratch and

would leave sore which l was COM
PEELED to bandage.
Il tried several prescriptions and

STATE HOUSE
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. NJ
Friday, June rs.

Assistant Horticulturist H. p.
Sweetser on Thursday gave for publ
cation the following letter concerning
the apple maggot and its control
"One of the most discouraging fea-
lures of orcharding in the State of
Maine is the injury done to the fruit
by the apple maggot or railroad worm.
The control of this pest up to the
present time has been like fighting a
foe in the dark, for few, if any, knew
how to combat it. The. fact that the
little striped winged fly appeared to
exist without eating, and then laid its
eggs under the skin of the growing
apple, baffied all attempts at poisoning
the pest.
Through the effort and careful OBJ
servations of James p. Illingworth at
Cornell University, Ithaca, n. Y, dur
ing 1911 and 1912 new and encourag
ing light has been thrown upon the
methods best adapted to the control Of
this serious menace to our apple in
dustry.
THE important points which he dis
covered are given very briefly in the
following statements and while the
control may not be perfect under all
season conditions, the suggestions are
of immense importance. This in
vestigation and its results must bring
announcement to the orchardist who
has the railroad worm in his fruit sea-
son after season.
Facts discovered by James F. Il
lingworth at Ithaca, N Y
/. The flies of the railroad worm
emerge from the ground from June
! 18th to August LIST. Second brood
may continue to emerge until frosts.
2. Eggs are seldom deposited in less
| than three weeks.
3. One fly may deposit as high as
400 eggs.
4. While maturing Grom 20 to 80
days) the fly eats from the surface of
/ leaves and fruit
). The fly eats by moistenins an
area of the leaf surface with its own
saliva and then sucks the surface dry.
! 6. IL a poison film is spread over
the surface of all foliage and fruit, the
i fly will take in the poison with its
| food.
/ Z. The fly of the apple maggot is
attracted by sweets
/ s. A sweetened poison spray ap-
piled to the Tonnage appears W nc q
certain method of control.
O. Bees will probably not be at
tracted by this spray if there are
plenty of flowers.
"A general spray may be applied 10
/ the entire orchard the latter part OF
June using:
Cheapest molasses, pound
Arsenate of lead 3 ounces
Water, 9dAohs
| Another method OF control is to
select a few trees which are usually
badly infested, like varieties tof sweet
apples. and use them as traps. the
following solution should be applied to
the lower limbs using about one PM
to a medium sized tree. This appl-
cation may be made to the lower limbs
only and may be applied with com
mon hand atomizer
| Potassium arsenate, ! pound
Sirup fdo not use honey, pints
Water, 10 pIH's
This is a violent poison and shouio
be handled with care.
1T is necessary to apply THESE
SPRAYS every 10 days and after heaVy
rains during July and August, IL the
control is to be perfect"

Wireless Telephones.

Several German coal mines are
equipped with wireless telephone sys.
TENS, and a Yorkshire, England. mine
has recently been similarly equipped.
Each instrument Is connected by two
wires, either with water pipes or iron
rails, or with a piece Of metal buried
in the ground. In the Yorkshire mine,
the instruments are both fixed and
portable; the two fixed Instruments
are situated, one in the transformer
house near the pit bottom, and the
other over half a mile away. 1t is pos
sible to talk between the two stations
as easily as if the telephones were con-
nected by wire. The portable instru-
ments, which weigh about 20 pounds
apiece, are carried by the miners to
the points where active work is going
on. By means of them the miners can
communicate with the fixed stations
from any part of the mine. Moreover,
they will enable men overtaken by dis
aster to summon help from other parts
of the mine and to direct the rescuers.

BANKERS ARE
OPTIMISTIC OVER
PRESENT OUTLOOK


DS Cnlleu ITeSS-
Philadelphia, Nov. 13-According to
addresses delivered at he opening
sessions of the convention of the In
yestment Bankers association, the out
look in the financial and commercial
world is decidedly optimistic
Despite the European war and the
attendant harGsnips it is said to have
caused American industry and finance,
several OF the speakers asserted that
the future holds forth unusual prom
Use and that the low ebb Of depression
is past.
The proposal by the president Of the
organization, Charles B. Caldwell Of
Chicago, that a $25OOO0,OO0 pool be
rormeu to take over the stocks and
bonds that might be thrown on the
market by panic stricken. investors,
caused considerable informal discus
s.on but action by the convention was
deferred.
Mr. Caldwell suggested that the pool
be launched in connection with the
opening Of the stock exchanges
throughout the country and that it be
subscribed by bankers and investors
from coast to coast and managed by
five or seven bankers selected from
Boston, New York Chicago and Phila-
delphia. He said that nothing would
so reassure the country at large, Sc
cure the immediate re-opening of the
stock exchanges and aid in reviving
confidence as the formation of the
pool
Rudolph D. Diamant, New York, en-
dorsed the securities pool as suggested
could buy up at bargain prices large
amount of American securities from
foreign investors it would be fine
thing for the country"
Mr.. Diamant said the federal reserve
banking laws will have a tendency to
stabilize interest rates and will go a
long way toward eliminating securities
disturbances"
John E. Oldham, Boston, spoke on
the proposed increase in railroad rates
and expressed the opinion that read
justment is necessary in order that
the roads may be able to maintain
fbair financial ctahf1itNf
After calling attention to the desir-
ability Of such a pool Mr.. Caldwell
said:
What could be more reassuring
than to have American securities sent
to US for sale by European investors,
which, because of the war, would GER
tainly follow the opening of our stock
exchange. Unless some such pool is
formed our exchanges cannot open ex-
cept in a limited way, and will do no
good to the country at large for months |

CAS- long as the exchanges are clos |

up. and securities cannot be marketed.
Cities, counties. states and corpora

IS curtailed and it all comes back on
he working man, whose services are
40 longer in demand. This curtail-
nent Of labor stops the usual wide dis
Of money and hits hard at
10Th the wholesale and retail mer-
chant" ttt
Mr.. Caldwell praised the new fed
,ral banking law and was optimistic
IS to the future Of the country.
More than 400 delegates, represent
ng banking houses in all parts ef the
ountry, were in attendance.
