WHAT TO DO FOR
 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- markedly successful that thousands of other physicians have been prescrib- ing 1t 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.

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National Heirlooms, About to Fall Apart, Have Been Repaired
 by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that once belonged to William Penn have just been repaired by two women who have never seen the chairs, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The two women are inmates of the Pennsylvania h. dustrial Home for Blind Women. The chairs are preserved in the east room of Independence hall. on the second floor. Year by year the cane bottoms of the famous old relics have been gradually cracking and falling out. The committee in charge decided that unless the cane was replaced the woodwork might soon collapse. But they did not dare to let the chairs be taken out of Congress hall.
 So they sent for Miss Ira Frost. mis- tress of handicraft at the Industrial Home for Blind Women, and she brought with her to the room two of the blind women who understood chair repairing. The work was peculiarly difficult. for 1t was impossible to erect in Congress hall the caning table need ed to hold the chairs firmly in place, and. moreover. their woodwork was soft with age. But the delft seeing fingers of the blind women did the work In spite of all the difficulties. and now the precious William Penn chairs are safe
