ITCHING NEARLY DROVE 4 WHOLE
 FAMILY CRAZY

Kansas City, Mo, Oct 24, 1e14:- My husband had a rash all over his body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY was in the same condition. It looked scaly and raised up on the arms and body in big bumps. This trouble burned and itched so that it would nearly drive one crazy. It 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 Ointment and Resinol Soap and it RE- LEVIED AT ONCE, and before the third jar of ointment had been used, we were all completely cured. It has been four months since we were cured, and there are no traces of the trou- ble."-(Signed) Mrs. s. A Clarbson, 1520 Lawn Ave.

DIVIDEND FROM
 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
25 Per Gent. Recommended by ReceiV- CT Thayer of Thames Loan and Trust Go.

In 6 application that Receiver Char : F. Thayer of the Thames Loan and trust company that he has made to the superior court he suggests that there are enough assets of the com mercial department of the Trust conn pany on hand to provide for the pay ment of a. 25 per cent. dividend to the depositors in this department of the Trust company.
 In his application he represents that he has heretofore paid to savings de- pOsitorS from the assets set aside for csavings depositorS two dividends ag- gregating $291, ,502.5S, which is 50 per cent. of claims proved and allowed against this department, leaving the same amount unpaid.
 He further represents that the claims proved and allowed to depositors of the commercial department aggregate $246, ,S2494, and that he has converted assets other than those set aside for savings depositOrs to the amount of $127, ,9646S and now he has this amount on hand subject to check.
 The sum of S61,706.23 only will be required for a dividend of 25 per cent. to depositors with proved and allowed claims in the commercial department and after the payment of such q div idend the receiver believes, he states that there will still remain on deposit of said avails an amount sufficient to ensure the payment to savings de- posttors of a dividend of 25 per cent on the balance of the claims to be due to savings depositors after they shall have received the balance of the avails of assets set aside for savings deposit tors which are still unconverted into cash in the receivers hands.
 The receiver therefore recommends a 20 per cent. dividnd for the com- merci al department depositors, and asks the court to decide whether or not the receiver shall pay a dividend and at what rate,
 Judge M. A. Shumway has set Jan- uary 18th at 2 o'clock in the afternoon as the time for a hearing on the ap- plication.
