F SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR
Use it like a cold cream and dry Eczema eruptions
 right up.

The moment you apply bold-sul- phur to an itching or broken out skin the itching stops and healing begins, says a renowned dermatologist. ..
 This remarkable sulphur made into thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Ec- zema, that it is a never-ending source of amazement to physicians.
 For many years bold-sulphur mas occupied secure position in the treatment of cutaneous erupt1ons py reason of it's cooling, parasite destroy ing properties and nothing has ever been found to take it's place in re- lieving irrita ble and inf1an1matory a1- factions of the skin. While not al- ways establishing a permanent cure yet in every instance, it Immediately subdues the itching irritation ana heals the Eczema right up and It IS often years later before any erup- tion again manifests itself.
 Any good druggist will supply an ounce of bold sulphur, which should be applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams. It isn un- pleasant and the prompt relief at- forded very welcome, particularly when the Eczema is accompanied with tortllrpuS itching.

WHAT TWO PLAGUE
 INfg;ltD RATS DID
Even h:st Have Been Found to
 Have Contracted Disease.

On September 25, 1914, two plague infected rats were taken in snap traps at1o13 Magazine street, New Orleans, Louisiana. The premises situated there, a combined stable, junk ware house and residence. were entirely surrounded by high brick wall.
 Owing to the condition of the pace and the necessity for immediate, thorough rat-proofing. the premises were vacated and ordered closed pending completion of work
 The residential portion of the building was fumigated with eighty pounds of sulphur and the entire premises disinfected by spraying with a two per cent. solution of Kerosene emulsion.
 The following morning the work of demolition was begun with the intent of thoroughly destroying rat harbor- ing places from ground to roof. When the ground floor of the resi- dence was removed fifty-four rats were Killed of these twenty were plague infected. Appreciating the ease with which plague may be transmitted by the f1eas from rat to man, it seems remarkable that people should have lived over such hot bed of infection without contracting the disease This is accounted for, because of the large number of rats that accommodated the excess flea population from dead rodents. That the infection was of recent origin was shown by the number of plague in fected rats still alive. 1t was like living over a volcano which was on the eve of eruption.
 All evidences of stable were re- moved and on the bare ground was laid the concrete floor of a thor oughly rat-proof structure for the stock. From this floor to the ceiling of the galvanized iron feed room on the floor abve no effort was spared to make the building impervious to rats seeking to gain entrance by gnawing, burrowing, climbing or jumping.
 The stableman's residence was next paved and the walls filled with con- crete to such a height that even the father of all rats could not have found entrance.
 In the junk house which occupied the right wing of the same building, thirty-six rats were killed, of which sixteen were plague infected. Dogs were an efficient aid in killing these. When floors were torn up, rats scat tered in all directions.
 The work of rat-proofing continued steadily and the premise was fast as- stunning a satisfactory appearance when a most interesting discovery in- tervened.
 After the death of all the rats, mice were frequently seen and caught. These were being examined carefully and on October 16,r1914. one was found plague infected. The f1eas which escaped death with the rats were compelled to seek other hosts and they penetrated the recesses and
New Britain herald., 1915-01-01

crevices in the brick walls, which under ordinary conditions had been a safe refuge for the mice. This il- Illustrates forcibly the necessity for mouse proofng' as well as "rat- proof1ng," and this means careful at tention to the most minute details when closing and filing holes or dead spaces in a building, be it of wood or stone.

YANKEES ARE JUBLANT;
MACKS ARE THEIR PREY
Pennock, However, Will Essay
to Break Wild Bill Donovan's
Winning Streak.

NEW YORK, May 3.-New York's
baseball populace awoke this morning.
looked at the sporting page and then at
the calendar. the reason being that the
Yankees are in first place with no signs
of weakening and that is something that
the New York fan never expected to see
again even though he lived to be 100
years old. on glancInE at the standing
in the National League he discovered that
the Gants--the idolized Giants-were
resting in the cellar.
New York loves winner and has no
time for loser, SO 1t is only natural that
the fans should prepare to turn out in
large numbers to see Donovan's team in
action against the Athletics this after
noon. Bill Donovan does not know whom
he will send to the mound, but 1t is likely
to be one of the other Rays. either Fisher
or Keating. With Ray Caldwell, Ray
Fisher and Ray Keating going so and the
team leading the league, Donovans Wis
Ions might be termed radiant.
Manager Mack is going to depend on
Herb Pennock, his only consistent winner.
The slender southpaw has won three of
the four games captured by the Athletics
and Connie believes that he will stop the
winning streak of the Yankees which has
reached five successive victories. 1t has
been so long since New York American
League club has won five games in row
that the players probably did not sleep
well last night, but they think they can
make 1t six with the Athletics in their
present condition.

CURTAILED BASEBALL GAMES
STOPPED BY TENER'S ORDER
Train or No Train, Full Contests Must
Be Played.

Action has been taken in the National
League putting stop to short baseball
contests. such as that In Pittsburgh the
other day. when the game between the
Cincinnatis and Pirates was called at the
end of the eighth inning so the teams
could catch trains, although the specta-
tors who had paid their money expecting
to see a full ball game were left nat.
Evidently, John X. Tener the leagues
president. thinks spectators are entitled
to more consideration. for he has issued
the following;
Hereafter no club in the National
League will be permitted to begin a
championship game prior TO the usual
starting hour or TO discontinue play be-
fore game Is finished In order that par
tielpating club or clubs may catch early
trains. The "last train" as stated in
the leagues laws, will be construed to
mean the last train scheduled to reach
the next city at least an hour prior to
the customary time OF starting games"

he would never play in another game in

Herzog insisted he was struck by Rigler
on Saturday without provocation.

Lobert May Be Out Of
Game-Tesreau Still Suf-
fering From Bad Finger.

George Chalmers is slated to twirI for
the Phillies against the Giants this after
noon, and George will attempt to play
the leading role IN the second act Of
Making McGraw Mad" If there is one
club in the world that Chalmers is effect
I've against II is the Giants, and he ex-
poets to chalk UP his third straight vic.
tory The Giants and Cardinals are well
come visitors to Chalmers, and he intends
to fHtten up his PERCENTAGE at the expense
OF these clubs this season.
IL Is probable that Chalmers chances
will be improved considerably by the re-
turn of Bert Nlehon. While DuRey has
played good bail in Bert's absence, the
hard hitting of the former RedleR has
been missed, and It is likely that at least
one Of the games lost to Brooklyn would
have been won with Niehoff in the bAt-
ting order.
Manager McGraw, who. It is said. has
completely lost his head as we'll as his
popularity in New York through the sud-
den decline of the Giants and the rise OF
the Yankees. is at his wits end The
scrappy leader has not even an idea who
he Will pitch. In fact, he will be mighty
happy II all his pitchers are not injured
In some sort of an accident before the
team reaches the ball park.
The only pitchers available are Mar
guard, Fromme, Ritter and Schupp. The
latter two are youngsters and Marquard
a lefthander who has had but little sue
cess against the Phillies. Chances seem
to favor the appearance of one OF the
youngsters, as Fromme has shown moth
ing to date.
Secretary Foster stated today that Il
was doubtful II Lobert would be able to
play, as tho spiking Honus received from
Maranville last Thursday Is causing him
more trouble now than II did when he
was injured. Fred Snodgrass and JEFF
Tesreau are still convinced that they have
broken hands, though an examination OF
Tesreau swollen digits has revealed moth
ing more than a severe bruise.

CLABBY RULES FAVORITE

NEW YORK. May 3.-No small degree

Mccoy is in for one of the neatest lacings
he ever took. There is none so foolish
as to state that Mccoy can hope 10 outlook
his man. for Al is one of the poorest box

ring. Nor can he hold out any great hopes
