Says ITCHING eczema
is dried RIGHT UP
With BOLD sulphur
Use like cold cream to subduG iTTita-
ton and clear the skin.

Constant or intermittent irritation
producing itching and red angry Ec-
zema patches on the skin is readily re-
neved with bold sulphur cream. The
moment it Is applied the itching stops
ana the healing begins, says a noted
dermatologist,
II effects such prompt relief, even in
aggravated Eczema thar it is a never
ending source of amazement to physi-
clans.
For many years bold sulphur cream
has occupied secure position in the
treatment of cutauepus erurtions by
reason Of its cooling, rasite-destroy-
ing properties. 1t IS not only parasit-
icidal but also antipruliuc and anti
septic and nothing has ever been found
to take its place in overcoming irrita-
BILE and inlafmatory affections of the
skin. While not always establishing q
permanent cure, yet in every Instance
it instantly stops the agonizing itching,
subdues the irritation and heals the
inilamed raw skin right up and II is
often years later before any Eczema
eruption again appears.
Those troubled should get from any
pharmacist an ounce OF bold Sulphur
cream and apply it directly upon the
affected skin like you would any ordi-
nary cold cream. 1T isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded is very
welcome, particularly when the Eczema
is accompanied with itching.

ELS BUY ARMS.
President Discusses Problem With
Committee on Foreign Relations
at White Hause Conference.

Washington, Jan. 28.-President Will
son and members of the foreign rela-
tons committee of the senate held an
important conference on Monday on
the external affairs OF the government.
The discussion covered numerous
subjects of pressing moment. The
most important being the Mexican sit
uation.
Some OF the committeeman declared
that they expect the president will
within the next few days take action
toward raising the embargo on arms
so that the constltutionalists and other
rebels who for the last several months
have been deprived Of the opportunity
of obtaining arms in this country may
obtain the weapons and munitions
they need. The president, II Is said,
believes that the time has come to let
down the bars and TO permit the con-
stitutionalsts to obtain all the arms
and ammunition they require.
The attitude Of the conferees as
here stated is most significant. 1t in
dicates that matters are certainly ap-
preaching a crisis-if the crisis al
ready has not been reached--and i'm
portant developments may be expect
ed at any moment. One senator, on
leaving the conference, said Il would
like to tell you great deal. but feel
that the patriotic duty / owe to the
American people is not to say any
thing. II anything Is to be said, the
president Is the one to say IT.
The Huerta administration has been
in dire straits for the last several
weeks with no prospect OF any I'M
provement. Practically the only part
of the country where he holds undis-
puted control Is In the City of Mexico
and the surrounding district His
armies in the north have been defeat
ed and many federal soldiers have
been driven across the international
border into Texas. Practically the en-
tire tier of stntes along the northern
border are independent OF control from
Mexico City. Outlawry and brigand-
age prevail III the rural districts.

Duke and Duchess Of Manchester and
Lord Falconer Among Those Res
eued From Ship on Rocks OF
Coast Of Colombia.

Panama, Jan. 29.-Frederick w. Van
derbilt's yacht Warrior. which has
been on a winter cruise in southern
waters, was wrecked on Tuesday OF
the northwest coast OF Colombia, be-
tween Savanilla and Santa Marta. Mr..
and Mrs. Vanderbilt and their guests,
the duke and duchess of Manchester
and Lord Falconer, were taken off the
yacht by the United Fruit steamer AL
mirante.
The Vanderbilt's staunch cruising
yacht. the Warrior, lies pounding OH
the shore of Cape Aquatic with a
steamer Of the United Fruit COM
paDy's Almirante standing by to take
off the crew in case the boat goes to
hours before her wireless operator re-
ceived any response to his signals.
The Vanderbilt party was bound
for Colon when heavy storm broke
over them. Wrecking tugs were sent
out from Kingston, Jamaica, and
Colon, Panama. n
The present cruise followed a din
ner party at the Ritz-Carlton In New
York December 22 in honor OF the
duke and duchess OF Manchester. The
latter was formerly Miss Helen Zim-
norman of Cincinnati. The yacht
touched at Charleston, Bermuda, Palm
Beach and points in the West Indies
en- route to the north shore OF South
America.
Lord Falconer is one OF the most
talked of and most eligible OF the
younger generation OF English noble
men. He has been reported as wooing
a number of the wealthiest OF Ameri-
cas- heiresses. The last of these az
fairs concerned Mrs. William B. Leeds
The earl OF Kintore has the sporting
blood of generations in his veins and
offered wagers at odds of 2 to 1 that
his son would win the heiress before
the close of the cruise Of party in
Guiding Lord Falconer and Mrs. Leeds.
He was previously said to have won
Mrs. William Hayes Chapman, the
wealthy and brilliant young widow OF
New York.
The Warrior Is considered one OF
the most seaworthy OF yachts designed
by George l.. Watson. famous as q
builder of cup challengers.
She carries full equipment of wire.

greater was due 10 prompt action on
the part OF the crew of the Nantucket,
which was herself badly damaged In
the collision. They lowered llfeboats
with rush and picked up many sur
vivors, who had flung themselves into
the water before the Monroe plunged
to the bottom
While others OF the crew were res
cuing all they could find in the water
the wireless operator flashed IS. O..
s." calls into the darkness, summoning
aid for the crippled Nantucket,
The disaster occurred while the pas
sengers were asleep, Captain Johnson
of the Monroe was rescued three hours
after the disaster and sent the follow
ing wireless message from the Nan
tucket, which was picked up by the
wireless station at Virginia Beach:
Forty-Nine Are Drowned.
"Forty-seven drowned. Nantucket
badly damaged. Steamship Hamilton
standing by us
The Monroe, which was bound from
Norfolk to New York, was feeling her
way cautiously in the fog when the
Nantucket suddenly doomed up out OF
the mist. The sharp PROV OF the Nan
tucket ripped into the Old Dominion
liner, opening an enormous CASH and
rolling the vessel over on her beam
ends.
Panic followed upon the Monroe.
Terrified men and women, aroused
from sleep, began scrambling to the
decks
Immediately after the collision the
Nantucket's crew began lowering the
lifeboats, while the vessels search
light was turned upon the sinking
Monroe
So thick was the fog that the pow
erful light cast only a murky glow
and the sailors in the boats could
barely distinguish floating objects in
the water Many drowning persons
were located only by their cries.
Within few minutes half dozen
lfeboats from the Nantucket sur
rounded the Monroe. while the sea-
men OF the latter ship were filling
and lowering their lifeboats as fast
as the panicky conditions on board
would permit.
VIII Investigate Disaster.
Washington, Jan. 31.-An immediate
investigation of the ramming OF the
Old Dominion steamer Monroe by the
Merchants and Miners liner Nantucket
was ordered by Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce Sweet. The steamboat In.
spection and navigation service was
directed to make the inquiry.
Secretary Sweet directed Robert
Tapley, inspector of hulls. and Ed
ward w. Brey, inspectors OF boilers al
Norfolk, to make the inquiry. They
were ordered to meet the Nantucket
when she arrives with the survivors.
