ITCHING ECZEMA
IS DRIED RIGHT
Up WITH SULPHUR
Use like cold cream to subdue
irritation and clear
the skin,

Any breaking out or irritation on the
face, arms, legs and body when accom-
panied by itching, or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying little bold sulphur,
says noted dermatologist.
He informs us that bold-sulphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and
irritation and soothes and heals the
Eczema right up leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied
a secure position for many years in
the treatment of cutaneous disorders be-
cause of its parasite-destroying prop
erty. Nothing has ever been found to
take it's place in treating the irritable
and inflammatory skin affections. While
not always establishing permanent cure
it never fails to subdue the itching irri-
tatlon and drive the Eczema away and
it is often years later before any erup-
ton again appears.
Those troubled should obtain from any
druggist an ounce of bold sulphur, which
is applied to the affected parts in the
same manner as an ordinary cold cream.
1t isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief
afforded, particularly in itching Eczema,
proves very welcome

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Ladies! Try this! Darkens beauti-
fully and nobody can tell-Brings
back its gloss and thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into &
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get the readyt tonic, costing
about SO cents a large bottle, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
3fls While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxnriant and you appear years
younger.

Half an hour later Ruth looked up

quietly.

maid pending the outcome of his wild
plotting to get possession of Ruth Cal
Ions precious papers, Her handsome
and cruel face was clOuded with slow
wrath, and she clinched her hands
now and again till the knuckles were
white.
For one thing. Mrs. Darnell loved
the plush Of life. Physical luxury was
her highest wish. the goal of her lofti-
est ambition. the one price she had set
on her soul. The dull surroundings
she had been forced to accept nauseat-

At this moment Drake entered, pre-
senting himself sullenly. He had al
ready received Wilkerson's acrid COM
pliments on his astuteness in failure,
and he expected nothing less from
Mrs. Darnell. He was ready to quit
the conspiracy.
jeans quick instinct did not fail her,
and she instantly smiled on Drake and
murmured: You poor boy!' Now tell
me all about it!'
When he had finished his relation Of
the mornings experiences, with much
emphasis on the shooting and his mar
row escape from Sing Wah's den, she
looked at him thoughtfully.
1T was madman's scheme" she
said. She turned to Wilkerson. "Har-
ry, you used to do things better. Use
your wits! This isn't the desert. Force
won't avail and time is getting short.

stood in silence. Then Wilkerson
smiled sardonically.

Mems and Gossip of
the Amateur Athletes

European countries has returned much
discouraged.
The United States not being at war,
il only remains for this country to keep
athletics well up till hostilities are
over. The amateur sporting spirit OF
the whole world is left in Americas
hands. Sports are practically dead IN
Europe The international events IN
all RESPECTS will mean little for many
years TO come.
On the other hand. we can keep the
spirit clean, so that when peace has
been declared we will have the fight
ing countries appear once more on the
same field either in Athens or Stock
holm as before the war.
According TO report. "Lanky' Tom
Halpin has asked that the management
of a set of games get Meredith and
Kiviat TO enter for a special quarter.
The reason he gives is that he wants
revenge for being beaten by the above
two in the Irish-American and Millrose
games. Otherwise Tom won't compete.
Meredith has defeated Halpin few
times in the 440. Kivlat had the pleasure
of timing Torn in the quarter also, the
time being 81 l-5 seconds. This was
done on February %, 1912, in the sec
ond leg of a one-mile relay.
Tom Keene, trainer Of Syracuse Uni
versity, can testify 20 the above race.
In regard TO being invited 70 compete
in a special quarter-mile race, your
humble servant does not know anything
about il.

concern and has not competed in run

in Stockholm in 1912. where he nm
ished first in the 3.000-metre team
race. He does not intend TO run again.
There are many ways Of making
mile runner, but the way OF Jack MoaS-
Icy, or Cornell, Is not only the most IN
teresting but the best. Results prove
this. In the first place, he starts them
of on 'cross-eountry work. then the

OF the mile and two mile runners Of

this method, working out over Hill and

The swimming of James Shryoek, Of

than Shryock's, counting the extra

P. LIGHTER, Of the Chicago Athletic
Association, is said TO be plunging the
length of the home pool, sixty feet, in
about 90 seconds. This means that IN
a bath long enough he should be able
10 float close 10 the S0-foot record in
