IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND |TCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Use it like cold cream and dry
Eczema eruptions
right up.

The moment you apply bold-sulphur
to an itching or broken-out skin, the
itching stops and healing begins, says
a renowned dermatologist.
This remarkable sulphur made into
a thick cream effects such prompt re-
lief, even in aggravated Eczema, that
it is a never-ending source of amaze
ment to physicians.
For many years bold-sulphur has
occupied a secure position in the treat
ment of cutaneous eruptions by rea-
son of it's cooling, parasite e-destroying
properties, and nothing has ever been
found to take it's place in relieving
irritable and inf1ammatory affections
of the skin. While not always es-
tablishing a permanent cure, yet, in
every instance, it Immediately subdues
the Itching irritation and heals the
Eczema right UP and it is often years
later before any eruption again mani
tests itself
Any good pharmacist will supply an
ounce of bold-sulphur cream, which
should be applied to the affected parts
like the ordinary cold creams. 1t isn't
unpleasant and the prompt relief af-
forded is very welcome, particularly
when the Eczema is accompanied with
torturous itching. This is published
for Walter Luther Dodge Co., Gin

M Dewitt SURPRISES
THE F|RSTN|CHTERS
He Is a Monologuist Of No Mean
Ability and Keeps Things
Moving All the Time

"Buch" McDevitt was hobo, a
travelling man., he terms it. Butch"
McDevitt was a millionaire for a day.
Butch" McDevitt was an alleged
statesman with the ambition to pre-
sent statue of himself to the United
States. And now Butch" McDevitt
Is an actor
Butch" opened a weeks engage
ment at the Orpheum theater yester-
day and it must be said for him that
he surprised the regular Monday.
crowds. He appears in a monologue,
following the showing of moving pic
lures made of his trip to Washington
when he attempted to have Congress
accept his statue. Butch" is natur-
ally funny and the dozens of stories he
tells about himself keeps the audience
in almost continuous laughter. But
CHI brought his statue to Harrisburg
to help him in his first appearance in
vaudeville.
The Orpheum bill. as a whole is
good this week. Dunbar's band of
nine men is perhaps the best musical
act of it's kind seen here for a long
time. Catchy popular airs and stan
dard marches make up the program.
The band men had a difficult time Sc
parating themselves from the audience
last night and the separation was only
effected after the introduction to the
following act had been stopped sew
eral times.
Thea Leightner and Dolly Jordon,
the former a Harrisburg girl, make a
distinct hit with the audience, not be-
cause of their voices, however. 1t is
purely the manner in which they offer
their songs.
Alexander Brothers, billed as the
worlds greatest ball bouncers, open
the show and introduce number OF
new feats in their line. An Italian Min
strels, Webb and Burns have few
equals on the vaudeville stage. Maria
Lo and Company present number OF
living tableaux, depicting the most
famous Dresden and other China.
The living models are well fitted for
their respective parts, and their work
is among the best ever seen here. The
other numbers include moving pic
lures and Willard and Bond in DE
tectivism."
