MISSOURI ROADS TO APPEAL TO COURTS

St Louis, March 26.-Presidenr Busch of the Missouri Pacific railway announced today that Missouri rail- roads would appeal to the courts in their efforts to get increased intra- state freight and passenger rates if an increase is not granted by the state public service commission.
 Anyone can foretell the business paralysis and widespread commercial and agricultural disaster that will fol- low few more receiverships of Mis- souri railroads said MT Busch
 ''If a physical valuation is required before the relief is granted then it would be like medical aid after the death of the patient, because but a few roads can survive until phys ical valuation can be made.
 '1f the increases prayed for are granted by the commission they will only amount to a few thousand dollars annual increase to each railroad and will by no means furnish the full measure of relief to which we are en- titled"

AN EASY WAY
 TOGET RID0F SKIN-TR0UBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive. home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rash and sim liar itching, burning skin troubles
 At any reliable druggists get a jar of resinol ointment and cake of resinol soap. These will not cost a bit more than seventy-five cents. With the res incl soap and warm water bathe the af- fected parts thoroughly. until they are free from crusts and the skin is soft ened. Dry very gently, spread on thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with light bandage-if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice day. Usually the distress ing itching and burning stop with the first treatment and the skin soon be- comes clear and healthy again. For trial of resinol ointment and resinol soap. free, write to Dept. FIR, Resinol. Baltimore, Md.

 Fugitives travelling away from tho Russian border with wagons loaded to their capacity are familiar sight. over this section of East Prussia. TheV sufferings of these people were greatly increased today by a steady downpcuH of rain.
