 YOUR ITCHING SKIN

Eczema, ringworm and other itch ing burning skin eruptions are so easily made worse by improper treat ment that one has to be very careful There is one method. however, that you need not hesitate to use. even on a baby's tender skin-that is the resinol treatment. Resinol is the pre- scription of Baltimore doctor. put up in the form of resinol ointment and resinol soap. This proved so re- markably successful that thousands of other physicians have been prescrib- ing it constantly for 20 years.
 Resinol stops itching instantly. and almost always heals the eruption quickly and at little cost. Resinol oint- ment and resinol soap can be bought at any druggists and are not at all expensive. Great for sunburn.-Adv.

Jimmy knew what was coming, but he could not prevent the occurrence.

CREATE DEMAND FOR COTTON
Powder Uses Up 100000 Bales Annu- alfy-one Bale Needed for Single
 Shot of German Gun.

Cotton statistieians who find diffi- culty in accounting for the large ex- ports of the staple to Europe. where a large portion of the manufacturing in- dustry is prostrated, will do well to investigate the use of this raw mate rial for war purposes.
 They are well aware that unusual quantities of khaki for uniforms. duck for tents, tarpaulins and artillery GOV CTS. tire cloth for automobiles. and other woven and knitted fabrics are being demanded by the belligerents. but they are likely to overlook two important uses of cotton that are ab- sorbing hundreds of thousands of bales of the staple.
 It is rather startling to learn that it takes bale of cotton to shoot one Of the big German 42-centimeter siege guns, and that modern dreadnaught in action eXplodes ten to twelve bales of cotton every minute
 Approximately a pound of raw cot ton is needed in making every pound of guncotton. and the powder produc- ton Of Europe and this country is not far from 350,000000 pounds annually under present forced conditions. This accounts for about 100000 bales of cotton, largely linters and waste.
 Then there is the enormous demand for absorbent cotton and bandages This probably calls for about 50000,. 900 pounds of cotton annually, or about 100000 bales.
 In fact, it is quite likely that fig ures could be deduced to show that the war demand for cotton is largely counter-balancing the loss of regular demand due to the prostration of the industry in Germany, Austria, Belgium and France.-Textile Manufacturers Journal
