Big Glazing Mil Of American Powder
Company Is Blown Up Despite
Care Of Armed Guards.
BELIEF IS THAT, ACTS WERE DELIBERATE

Acton, Mass.-With a shock that
wasyfelt within a radius of 40 miles
the glazing mill of the American Pow
der company, which since the war has
been working up to its capacity, blew
up early Sunday. So far as known
nobody was killed.
The actual money loss to the COM
pany was not heavy, but it was stated
that work on large orders probably
would be held up for several weeks.
Property owners in the surrounding
towns, particularly in Maynard, were
heavy losers because Of shattered win
dows.
The mill had been closed down since
Saturday afternoon and the police ex-
pressed the belief that the explosion
had been caused with intent to cripple
the plant.
Armed guards have been stationed
about the works for several weeks.

HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN
T0RME'NTING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, heat-rash and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar
of resinol ointment and cake of resi-
mol soap. These will not cost bit
more than seventy-five cents. With
the resinol soap and warm water
bathe the affected parts thoroughly,
until they are free from crusts and
the skin is softened Dry very gent
ly, spread on thin layer of the resi-
mol ointment, and cover with light
bandage-if necessary to protect the
clothing. This should be done twice
a day. Usually the distressing itch
ing and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

Plan to Wreck Train Fails.


Gary, Ind.-An apparent attempt to
wreck train carrying guncotton was
revealed Sunday, when 1t was found
that the plates holding two rails had
been removed, short distance from
the Aetna Powder works. The train
was due to leave the works within a
few hours and was loaded with NUM-
tions Of war bound east for shipment
to the war zone.
The police did not credit reports that
the alleged attempted derailing of
the train had any connection with the
murder Of Rev. e. A. Kayser, five
days ago, but said the possibility Of
such connection would be investigat-
ed. The murder of Kayser had been
declared to have been the result of his
pro-German sympathies.

The cattle market started off briskly
this week at the opening and trading
was active, one packer taking over
half Of the offerings, says the Portland
Live Stock Reporter. The quality of
the cattle offered was of wide vari-
ETY., from strictly choice steers to the
poor and rough dairy stock. The choice
stuff moved first, as usual, and the
early sales showed prices of $3.50 to
$6.75. The bulk of steers sold at
$500 and s6.65, with several $6.75|
sales and two sales at 81.
Six cows reached the $3.50 mark,
but practically all the choice carloads
brought 25c less. A few rough and
poor cows sold as low as $3.50 and
$3.50. There were no choice bulls
offered, but choice stuff would bring
SIS.
There was rather light run of good
stuff offered in the swine division and
