HOW TO HEAL
SKIN-D|SEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and Inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringwo-m, rashes and SIM
liar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar OF
resinol ointment and a cake of resinol
soap. These will not cost bit more
than seventy-fve cents. With the res.
mol soap and warm water battle the at
fected parts thoroughly, until they are
free from crusts and the skin Is soft
cned. Dry very gently, spread on a thin
layer of the fesinol ointment, and cover
with a 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.

In order to keep up with the in
creased demand, due to the war, the
domestic toy manufacturers will add
to their production facilities during the
coming year. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral belief that the business coming
from the necessary substitution Of do
nestle for foreign toys will, in large
part, remain here, even after the close
of the war. This is looked for as q
result of the wider understanding ON
the part of buyers of what this coun-
try can supply. Formerly the buyers
were accustomed to pay q flying visit
to this market and embark as soon as
possible for the other side, where the
bulk Of their purchases were placed.
Now, even though a trip abroad Is to
be made, the buyer will pick up what
he can here before running the chance
of returning empty handed from Eu-
rope. The increase in the toy business
which the manufacturers confidently
expect will develop most strongly In
the mechanical toy end.

DR.. Kulbs, q British physician. has
been investigating the effect Of siren
uous exercise on the condition of the
organs during growth and adolescence.
Dogs were made to exercise on a
treadmill during various periods, while
other animals of the same filters were
kept as CONTROLS" The result was
considerable growth. especially OF the
heart and liver. Similar changes were
found in young swine treated in the
same way. The increase in the bulk
OF the muscles was lot so great as
that in the heart in dogs. Even the
marrow of the bones was affected. The
working animals showed good, red
marrow and the resting mes yellow.
fatty marrow. The doctor asserts
that the results of his experiments
confirm what psychologists have
taught, that exercise, especially in the
young. exerts a beneficial influence not
only on the skeleta muscles but also
on the internal organs. All animals
living in a free condition indulge in
violent movements and hunting games
when young. Thus also we find mas
sive hearts in persons who lave fol.
lowed a strenuous calling, as com
pared with the hearts Of those who
have had a %sedentary occupation.

The educational campaign against
waste through fire loss can at least
justify it's continuance by figures for
the last IL months, eve if it can find
no encouragement for the success Of
it's efforts. To the end of November.
1914 shows losses by fire exceeding
those for the same period of 1913 by
nearly ~S4,G00,000. The aggregate loss
in November amounted 10 $21,372,75
The total loss for the year will amount
to about a quarter of a billion. This
represents a terrible destruction of
property for times of peace. Most Of
it is due to carelessness, and no small
proportion to arson. We put our faith
in fire departments and insurance, in
stead of exercising the common-sense
p~recaution that would obviate the
need for calling in help from either.

was sued by the fire department tor
the cost of extingufshing the fire. 1t
seems that the board of fire protection
ma ordered the owner of the building
to install automat C sprinklers. The
owner refused to DO SO, hence the fire,
hence the suit. II was the first case
Of the sort ever in the courts where
the owner of a building was made re-
sponsible for the fire. The decision OF
the court was against the owner and
he was ordered to pay the fire depart
ment $1,000, the estimated cost of ex-
tinguishing the fire. In this case there
was the violation Of a specific order,
and it was because of that that judg-
ment was given against the owner.
But the principle would have uni
yersal application, says Ohio State
Journal. Wherever there is a law en-
joining care upon the owner of the
property, and that care is not given,
the cost of putting out a fire, If there
is one, rests upon him. The principle
involved in this decision demands the
consideration of public authority.
