WHAT TO Do FOR
ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itching,
burning skin eruptions are so easily
made worse by improper treatment that
one has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not hes
itate to use, even on a baby's tender
sl.in-that is, the resinol treatment.
Resinol is the prescription of a Balti-
more doctor, put up in the form Of res
inol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved so remarkably successful that
thousands OF other physicians have been
prescribing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption quick
" and at little cost. Resinol ointment
and rosinol soap can be bought at any
druggists.

these regions abomination in the eyes of the
sarrapieros. They feed on the small immature
fruit Of the trees in the months of October and
November, long before the beans are ready to be
gathered, and often focks of these devastating
birds may be wherever a large tonqua-bean
tree is to be found. According to Eugene Andre,
the English naturalist, no birds extrav-
agant than parrots in their method of feeding,
not much on account of what they consume
as of what they waste. Wherever these birds
have eaten the ground is strewn with fruit only
clawed and then awkward1y dropped or perhaps
with just a small piece bitten of Hence the
destruction before maturity Of enormous quanti-
ties Of the valuable beans
In Andres account of the industry in "a Natur-
alist in the Guianas he states that 1t is usually
about the beginning of February that the sar-
rapieros begin to organize their expeditions to
the interior to collect the beans For two
three months thereafter the Caura river presents
a scene of animation. Boats of every size and
description may be seen making their slow prog
ress up the strong current of the river. Here
will be large bongo, or dugout canoe of
several tons capacity. carrying an entire family
up the stream and laden with provisions for a
stay Of several weeks. Again small skiffs, just
large enough for the two Woodworking paddlers
and their outfit may be making somewhat
better progress. Occasionally fotilla of several
boats carrying larger expedition consisting Of
Is to 20 men, is met with. Progress up the
river is slow and frequent stops at the settle
ments along the banks made for the purpose
of laying in fresh supplies, resting, and having
a good time. Many of the sarrapieros old
hands at the business and usually stop at the
places leading to the sarrapiales with which
they familiar. They know every inch of the
ground and every tonquabean tree in the dis
trict. Cano GuayapO, SuapuTe Temblador, and
La Prison the names of some of the settle
ments where most of the boats stop. A few Of
the energetic sarrapieros push farther
to Cangrejo but it is hard work getting through
the rapids OF Mura and Piritu.
AS soon a party has selected a spot a
center of operations, the men build the ranches
huts which to be their homes for perhaps
two three months If the fruit is sufficiently
ripe and has commenced to fall, they begin gath
ering at once. Otherwise they spend the inter
vening time in locating the best trees and in
hunting and fishing. When the fruit begins to
fall everyone gets busy. Men, women, and chill
dren all take part in the work Of collecting By
