Women have no right to robe them

Such women are temptation and a

SULPHUR DRIES UP ECZEMA AND
 STOPS ITCHING
This old time skin healer is used just like any
 cold cream.

Sulphur, says renowned dermato1- ogist, just common bold-slllphur made into thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applica- tions the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold sulphur and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years common bold-sulphur has occupied secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutaneous affections by reason of its parasite-de- stroying property. 1t is not only para suicidal, but also antipruritic, anti septic and remarkably healing in all irritable and infammatory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting d permanent cure it never fails to in- stantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin.

Help the Stomach

When the stomach fails to digest and distribute that which is eaten, the bowels become cIOgged with mass of waste and refuse that fer ments and generates pOisOns that are gradually forced into the blood causing distress and often serious illness.

BIG TASK 10 MAINTAIN
 MODERN ARMY IN FIELD
Ordnance Department Universal Pro-
 wider for Troops.

London. Feb. 8, 7:26 D. m.-An "eye witness" at the British general army headquarters in France pays a tribute. in an article given out today by the official press bureau, to the excellent work of the army supply de- partments, mentioning particularly that of the ordnance department which supplies all clothing and equip ment an dtooIs and machinery as well as arms and ammunition.
 Universal Provider.
 'The ordnance department is military provider" says the writer. "It is difficult to say which is the most striking-the actual mass of ma terial handled. or the bewildering variety of articles stocked.
 "The vastness of the work of main taining modern army may be gathered by the fact that, during the past month the supplies furnished in- cluded 450. miles of telegraph wire, $50, 900 sandbags and 1000 pounds of shoe blacking, while in ten days the ordnance department supplied 120,000 fur waistcoats and 3oO,0o0 flannel belts. The average weekly issue of ointment for feet is five tons.
 Work Very Complex.
 The compleMty of the work is illustrated by the fact that the index of the stores include 50,000 separate kinds of articles. Most of these still are obtained from England, but some gre being manufactured by the ordnance department in it's own work shops in France. The problems of distribution and accounting require a large staff"

NO HOSTILE ACTION
 AGAINST NEUTRALS
CcImany'S Naval Measures Only
 Against British Shipping.

Berlin, via The Hague to London, Feb. 8 10:46 p. m.)--The naval measures of Germany against Brit ish commerce are in no sense a block- ade. No hostile action against neutral shipping is contemplated.
 Will Take Precautions.
 German submarines and warships will endeavor by every means in their power to avoid sinking Ameri- can or other neutral ships, and will take every precaution to avoid a mistake being made.
 The proclamation of the waters around Great Britain as war zone, like similar British measures, which were taken as a precedent, is design ed to warn neutrals that a ship ven turing into the naval field of opera tions exposes itself, in the same fash ion as civilian wandering on a land battlefield, to the risk of being struck by a chance shot.
 Correct Interpretation.
 The above may be taken as the correct interpretation placed upon the German proclamation in compe- tent circles in Berlin. It was stated today that it might be safely assured that the Germans have no intention of sinking an American ship unless she is carrying contra band of war, and then only if her crew can be giv- cn the possibility of escape. It was asserted however, that war meas ures will be carried out against the British trade with all possible sever ity in order to give England a taste of her own medicine"
 Warning to NcutraIS.
 The warning to neutral shipping, it was asserted, was considered as particularly needed in view of the reported order to British ships tc hoist neutral flag whenever they arc in danger, an order, which if adh hered to, it was said, would make it difficult for a German warship to between neutral and hostile shipping.

CARNIVAL OF

Laugh and the world laughs
with you" is an cid saying but
very trite, as laughter brings
health and happiness to young
and old. For wholesome and de-
lightful fun, healthy and clean
recreation, the Jones Bros. Big
Three Ring Shows is the leader
of them all. The very spirit Of
revelry, pleasure, romance, thrills
and all things that bring the sun
light of laughter into life is cpl
tomized in Jones Bros World
Toured Shows. Aside from the
hundreds of big features, there
are a great number of comical
clowns who create cyclones of
mirth among the little folks. There
are singing clowns, dancing
clowns, clown dogs, clown pigs,
clown mules, and, in fact, clowns
of every description. Every day
happy boys and girls come and
see and are glad that they came.
Never before has a circus per-
Torrance been received with such
wild enthusiasts as the Jones
Bros. big, new, giant threefold
circus combined in one. An amaz-
ing assembly of all that's best in
the exhibitional field. This great
show in its vast entirety will ex-
hibit at Greenwood, Monday, Nov.
20. The Jones Bros. always pre-
sent the greatest feature acts OBJ
tainable and also carry the larg-
est collection of wild animals in
this country; it is indeed a verita-
BILE geological congress, present
ing exclusively the most harvard
Gus feats Of animal subjugation
known to any generation. A SUI
perbly entertaining program OF
thrilling and amazing acts, past
graduates Of equestrianism, aero
batic gymnasts, aerialists, contor-
tionists, trick riders, racing, won
der workers and specialists.
Famous lady and gentlemen bare
back riders, high school and pos
ing horses and hundreds of noble
equine beauties. The tremendous
engagements, newly added de-
partments, famous foreign en-
gagements and other ezhibitional
wealth for this season stamps the
Jones Bros Circus as the leading
amusement enterprise On the face
Of the globe. Fully five times
larger than ever before, the most
glorious, expensive and compre-
hensive grand free street parade
ever seen will take place daily at
ten O'Clock, rain or shine. Wait

BODYBUILDING PARTIES.

The 800 mile strip of highway be-
tween Paducah, Ky and Memphis,
Tenn, seems to represent a record in
road building. 1t was constructed in
one day. " the voluntary efforts Of
10000 citizens of all classes and con-
ditions. somewhat after the manner of
an old-fashioned barn raising"
The feat wasn't original. such road
making bees seem to have originated
in Missouri and slowly spread east
ward. Two years ago there was his
toric effort of the kind IN Michigan.
The Kentucky-Tennessee JUNCTION,
however appears to stand alone in the
quantity Of work accomplished
Whether that work has permanent
value however. remains TO be seen.
From the figures given, it is evident
that the road makers averaged so feet
of road per man. Anybody familiar
with road construction may figure for
himself whether it's possible for an
average man-untrained. at that--tc
build so feet of good, durable highway
in one day, even il he rad the ma
terials all ready at hand.
OF course. the truth is that road
making of this sort isn't really con-
struction at all. 1t consists chiefly of
rounding and smoothing road-bed Of
natural dirt with road machines or
scrapers. The material results are
likely TO he only Of temporary value.
The real value lies in the impetus
