SULPHUR DRIES UP ECZEMA
AND STOPS ITCHING
This Old Time Skin Healer is Used
Just Like Any Cold Cream

With the first application OF bold
sulphur cream the angry itching at
tending any eczema eruption ceases
and its remarkable healing powers
begin. Sulphur, says a renowned
dermatologist, just common bold-sul-
phur, made into a thick cream, will
sCothe and heal the skin when irri-
tated and broken out with Eczema
or any form of eruption. The mo-
ment it is applied all itching ceases
and after two or three applications
the Eczema disappears, leaving the
skin clear and smooth
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce OF
bold-sulphur cream and apply it to
the irritated, infiamed skin, the same
as you would any cold cream.
For many years this soothing, heal
ing sulphur has occupied a secure pO-
sition in the treatment of cutaHeOUs
affections by reason of it's parasite-de-
stroying property. 1t is not only par
asiticidal, but also antipruritic, anti
septic and remarkably healing in all
irritable and infiammatOry conditions
of the skin. While not always estab-
fishing a permanent cure it never
fails to instantly subdue the irrita-
ton and heal the Eczema right UP
and it is often years later before any
eruption again appears on the skin.

TREATMENT FOR cUTWoRM
IN TO3ACCO BEDS.

Complaints are reaching the Station
If injuries by cutworms and flea beet
les in tobacco beds These pests can
Je controlled very largely by care,
first, in preparing the beds, secondly,
in keeping them covered and destroy
ing weeds and grass about them, and
dnally, when worst comes to worst, by
spraying the young plants with arse
nate of lead Or Paris green.
The cutworms are the young of sew
eral species OF night flying moths, and
have spent the winter in grasses, or
weeds, about the beds. The burning
of the beds destroys those within the
area burned over, but others Turk
among any vegetation that may be
left Immediately about the frames. A
bare strip of five feet or more should
therefore be left outside the beds, and
if muslin covers must be removed
this strip and wooden frames can be
treated with creosote, the odor of
which will afford some protection
from worms disposed to travel across
the bare area.
If gnawing insects have been allow
ed to get in the beds, the only thing
to do is spray with arsenate of lead,
three or four pounds in fifty gallons of
water, or else use Paris green, one
fourth pound in thirty gallons of wa
ter, with about a pound of Stacked
lime added to prevent burning. The
arsenate of lead in the proportion rec
commended does no harm at all to the
plants and requires no lime.
The above treatment is to be recon-
mended also for the small brown flea
beetles which sometimes infest the
beds and gnaw numerous round holes
in the leaves.
The arsenate of lead adheres to the
leaves for some time, and should
serve to protect them from these in
sects after the plants are set out in
the field, though second application
may be necessary after they are well
started

sURLESON DEFENDS
PARCEL POST IDEA

Postmaster General BurlesOn de-
Tended the parcel post Tuesday in an
open letter, characteriZing it as an
accelerator of trade between cities
and farms, and declaring it's rates
were based on operating costs in both
the profitable territory, which is de-
fined by the extent of the systems of
private express companies, and the
improbable territory into which the
private express companies never go.
Mr.. Burleson was replying to the
Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, which
reaently adopted resolutions Oppos-
ing an increase in the weight limit,
on the ground that it would drive ex-
press companies out of business. Mr..
Burleson asserted that the companies
would not be driven out of profitable
territory unless they were relative
ly inefficient.

Old Coins Found.

Princeton-While blowing in a
Geld IN the farm of Joseph Scott in
the Scottsburg vicinity of this coun-
ty, Nelson Darnall aged about twenty
four years, unearthed nearly 5000 in
silver coin, besides some foreign coins
of varying denominations. The mon
ey consisted of an number of pieces,
ranging in denomination from a dime
to a dollar, but consisted mostly OF
half dollars. The dates on the coins
ranged from 1896 to 1880. 1t is said
that several of the coins have pre-
MUM value, and that one of them,
half dollar, is worth $50. An inter
esting feature of the case is that
ten years ago another man, blowing in
the same field, unearthed about $500
in silver coins.

ON THE ROAD TO MEXICO
FROM VERA CRUZ.
From Mexico" by E. Reginald
EnOch)


From Mexico" by E. Reginald
Enoch)
There are two main-traveled ways
into Mexico The first lies across the
stormy waters of the Mexican Gulf
to the yellow strands of Vera Cruz.
beyond which the "star mountain" of
the Aces, Citlaltepeta, (Orizaba, 49,
$50 feet high) rears its cleaning
snow-cap in the mid-heavens above
the clouds. 1t was here that Cortes
landed four centuries ago, and it is
the route followed by European trav-
elers to-day Here stands Ulloa, the
promOntory fortress where more than
one of Mexico's short-lived rulers Ian
guished and died of yellow fever, and
which was the last stronghold of
Spain. Beyond it arise the white
buildings and towers of Vera Cruz, a
dream city, as beheld from the gulf,
of interest and beauty, and to the
west are the broad caStal deserts.
Piled up to the horizon are the wood
| ed slopes and canyons of the great
Sierra Madre, topped by the cleaning
Orizaba, towering upward in solitary
majesty. We stand upon torrid
strand, yet gaze upon an icy noun
| tain.
One of the most remarkable rail
ways in the world ascendS this steep
zone, and serpentineS among sheer
descents to gain the summit of abrupt
escarpments from which-a remarka
BILE feature of the eastern slope OF
Mexico-the traveller looks down into
another COUNTRY and climate, upon
those tropical valleys and which he
has left below. This is the Mexican
Vera Cruz railway. Rising from the
TERRA caliente, or hot land, a tropical
region of dense vegetation, OF jungle
and lagoon, where there are the
shores, woods and groves teemins
with animal and vegetable life, the
road enters the more temperate zone
TERRA templada, extending upward to-
ward the Great Plateau. The limit OF
this climate zone is at an elevation NJ
5000 feet above sea level. Rising
rapidly thence up to and over the es-
! carpments of the Sierra Madre and
the high plains, we enter upon the
TERRA fra, or cold lands, ranging
from 5000 to 5000 feet above the sea
level. Above this rise the high sum-
mits of the Mexican Cordilleras, with
+ their eliminating peaks, some few OF
which penetrate the atmosphere
above the limit of perpetual snow.
The earliest railway OF Mexico
that from Vera Cruz to the City OF
Mexico, traverses the country in the
most difficult direction, transversely
rising from tideW alter and the Allan
! tic littoral, and ascending the STEEP
