ITCHING NEARLY
DROVE A WHOLE
FAMILY CRAZY

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. "a, 19l4:-
my husband had rash all over his
body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY
was in the same condition. 1t looked
scaly and raised up on the arms and
body in big bumps. This trouble
burned and itched 80 that it would
nearly drive one crazy. 1t was always
worse at night, SO we could not sleep
We all had this trouble for about two
or three years, and during that time
tried many remedies and prescriptions
with no results. We tried Resinol Oint-
ment and Resinol Soap and it RE-
LIEVED AT ONCE, and before the
third jar of ointment had been used, We
were all completely cured. 1t has been
four months since we were cured, and
there are no traces of the trouble.
(Signed) Mrs. s. A. Clarkson, 1920

Every druggist sells Resinol Oint-
ment and Resinol Soap, and physicians
have prescribed them for 90 years in
the treatment Of skin troubles.

The HEADACHE OF
NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

A feeling as Of tight band about the
head is often felt in addition to the pain
OF q headache that is caused by nervous
exhaustion. TIE ache is generally in
the back OF the head, rarely in the fore
head, and is often accompanied by diz-
Einess.
The way to stop this sort OF headache
IS to stop the cause Of it. Overwork,
worry and failure of the blood to properly
nourish tho nerves are the most common
causes. Rest and tonic for the blood
and nerves will cause the headache to
disappear in most cases.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are al" effec-
tive tonic for building up the blood and
strengthening the nerves. They furnish
Just the elements that the blood needs to
build up'the nerves shattered by over
work, worry, oyerstudy orexcesses. You
cannot always rest from school, Office or
housework when circumstances require
but You can always take tonic that will
maintain the strength OF blood and
nerves. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
Just the tonic required.

you booklet, Diseases OF the Nervous
System" free. Address: DR., Williams

The staging of any motion picture
is no small task. In an ordinary pic

must be built The tremendous labor
involved in the mere preparation for
such subject as Julius Caesar"
can hardly be understood by the
average layman. Thousands OF peo'

OF costumes, each correct in detali,
denoting the social station and nation

to distinguish him from the freeman,
the Roman slave is marked by the
cut and nature of his garments The
Roman civilian is not to be confused,
by the passersby, with the patrician.

FIRE BUILT IN
HOUSE BASEMENT ]
Montro.e Has conflasrat'on Which
Has EarmarIks Of Being Started
by an ineendiary Last
Night.
LATTA BARN Is BURNED
smoke Seen Coming From House on
Front Of Lot is Found to be
Due to Fire kindIed in
the Basement.

MCNTROSE, Feb. S.-A barn be-
longing to Richard Latta was de-
stroyed by fire at midnight last night,
and the discovery was made that
ire had been bull. on the floor OF the
basement OF small house on the
Latta property. This was extinguished
before 1t spread, although the 1loor
was burning when the fire was 10
Gated. The barn was totally de-
stroJed. From circumstances, 1t Is
believed that an incend.ary ynay have
been at work.
The fire department responded to
the alarm at midnight. 1t was found
that the Latta shed could not be
saved as 1t was too Tar consumed by
the flames. Smoke was seen issuing
from the house on the, front of the
lot. The cause for the smoke was
investigated, and no fire could be
found in the upper floor Of the houes
,or on the roof.
On going into the basement, how
ever, fire was found built on the
floor. That it had not caught the
floor was due to the fact that there
was not sufficient draft, although the
boards were being licked by the
flames and had caught in several
places.
From the evidence Of this fire, 1t IS
limited that perhaps some persons may
have set the fire there. x
The barn which was consumed, was
in the rear OF the old opera house
property which burned on the seven
teenth Of last March. 1t was used as
"A power house and dynamo was in
stalled there.
Both shed and house were insured

Mind Your own Business.

Wayne Heraid:@-People who attend
strictly to their own business, not hay-
ing time nor inclination to pick flaws
in the efforts of others, are the ones
who make the greatest Roadway, and
who accomplish the most desirable re-

townsman or farmer who devotes at
tention exclusively to details which
directly concern him, rather than
spending part of his time finding fault
with conditions and neighbors, is the
one who prospers most?
