: Vice President Marshall

President Wilson has written a letter
10 Vive President Marshall expressing
his appreciation of the efforts of the
ice President and of the Democratic
members of the Senate. The letter fol-
ows:
My Dear Mr. Vice President: 1 am
IRE that my colleagues in the Senate
ealize that my recent letter to Mr.. I'm
ierwood was spoken as much in their
raise as in praise of the members of
ne House. for We all stand together as
single team, and my satisfaction In
cooperating with the members of the
senate has been no less keen than in
cooperating with the members of the
House.
Il want to send you these few lines Of
G. sincere and genuine and personal appre-
ciation. The pleasure of being associated
nth you grows as the months pass,
and / want to send you, as the session
loses, this simple message of congrat-
ulation and thanks. Cordially and SIN

IF Skin |TCHES
ANDBREAKSOUT
APPLY SULPHUR
Get ounce of bold-sulphur
and heal Eczema erup-
tons right up.

For years. common old-sulphur has
occupied a secure position in the treat
ment Of cutaneous affections, by reason
OF its parasite-destroying property. 1t
is not only parasitcidal, but also anti
pruritic, antiseptic and remarkably
healing in irritable and inhammatory
conditions Of the skin.
The moment you apply 4 to an Itch
ing or broken out skin the itching
stops and the healing begins, says a
noted dermatologist. Just common bold
SULPHUR made into thick cream effects
such prompt and remarkable results,
even In aggravated Eczema that 1t Is
never-ending source of amazement to
physicians.
While not always establishing a per-
manent cure 1t never fails to subdue
the angry itching and irritation and
heal the Eczema right up and II is
often years later before any eruption
again appears on the skin.
Any good pharmacist will supply an
ounce of bold-sulphur, which should be
applied to the irritated or infiamed
parts like the ordinary cold creams. It
Isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief
afforded Is very welcome particularly
when the eruption is accompanied with
itching-Advt

To Be CRY
At SHORT SESSION
Congress to Face Problem of
Reconci|ing Growing Ex-
penses With War Taxes.

Appropriations promise to be the big
feature Of the coming short session of
Congress. The short session Is usually
given over largely to appropriations. but
in some cases their consideration be-
comes largely routine. 1t will not be so
this winter
The Democrats have been SO severely
criticised for extravaganza in this ses-
sion and So sharply taken to task by
Republicans and Bull Moose because
they have allowed the appropriations to
pile up to record-breaking figure that
party leaders say they are going to
make more of an effort the coming ses-
sion to practice economy. In order to
bring this about attempts are being
made to pare down the estimates of the
departments. How far these will sue
ceed remains to be seen, because as
rule attempts to pare down estimates do
not get far. Moreover, no matter how
much estimates are cut, the needs of the
departments are pretty sure to accu-
mulate as the time draws near to make
appropriations
The Democratic leaders in Congress
this winter will be in a difficult posi-
ton. In the first place. with a war
tax imposed on the country they will be
expected to make showing of economy.
II the European war goes on and the
people Of the country are obliged to
economiZe for that reason the pressure
on Washington to econOmiZe will be felt.
but tNe demands LOT appTOpfldtlOnS. on
the other hand. are constantly growing.
New Laws Add Expenses.
The new legislation of this session Of
Congress has added heavily to the ex-
penses of the Government. The rew
banking and currency system, for In
stance. is one requiring an expensive
which will tend constantly ,
to grow more expensive. The new Fed |
eral trade commission Is another cx-
pensive body.
The advocates Of liberal river and |
harbor appropriations are making prepa-
ratiCns for a general assault on Con- |
gress. Another pork barrel bill is |
likely to be presented unless the COM
mittees in charge of the bill are more ;,
careful in the preparation of it than
they were in preparing the one presented
at the long session, and which was
beaten.
Then, there are the public buildings.
