BIRDS AND LIVESTOCK
 AT MOHEGAN PARK
Inventory Shown at March Meeting
 of Park Board.

The March meeting of the park board with Chairman Joseph T. Fan ming presiding and M. A. Jensen serv- ing as secretary pro tenn in the ab- ton, who is on a western trip, was held on Monday afternoon at the office of MT. Tanning. There was little but routine business to transact.
 An inventory of the birds and live stock at the park was on hand from showed how largely this department of the park has grown since the first live creatures were gathered there for exhibition purposes.
 The following was the list:
 Ten deer, 2 monkeys, IA rabbits, 1 sheep, English ring neck pheasants, silver pheasants, 4 golden pheasants 2 Reeves pheaSants, 2S pigeons, 24 mallard ducks, Pekin ducks, ? mus covy ducks, 4 Chinese geese, 2 Afri- can geese, Canada geese, ? swans, 21 Japanese silkies, Lakenvelder chickens, bronze turkeys, white Holland turkeys
 One of the interesting things about the deer is that there is a wild deer that has been hanging around on the outside of the enclosure for long time, but so far it has eluded all at tempts to get it inside the fence. Su- perintendent Duff has also tried to drive it away, but it returns constant ly whatever he does to scare it off He has given it frequent chances to go in through the gate, but so far it has proved too wise, though one day it fingered for a long time right on the verge of stepping into the enclosure. At the last moment when it seemed that the stranger deer was about to step inside and join the park herd it retired again to wild life
 During the winter the park board received a petition with a, large num- Der of names. largely those of the boys and girls in the neighborhood, who asked that the board arrange some way by which the surface of the small skating pond could be flooded at night so as to provide a new surface of ice each day. The board could not see how this could be done without such expense as to make the plan prohib- itive just at present.

WHOLE FAMILY TORTURED BY
 ITCHING RASH

Kansas City, Mo-"My husband had a rash all over his body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY was in the same condition. It looked scaly and raised up on the arms and body in big bumps. This trouble burned and itched so that it would nearly drive one crazy. It was always worse at night, so we could not sleep.
 We all had this trouble for about two or three years, and during that time tried many remedies and pre- scriptions with no results. We tried Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and it RELIEVED AT ONCE, and be- fore the third jar of ointment had been used, we were all completely cured. It has been four months since we were cured, and there are no traces of the trouble. Mrs. S. A. Clark son, 1520 Lawn Ave-, Oct. 24, 1914. Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap.
