dear, look at that
The hand OF Mrs. James McIlhany
Thomson, who until Wednesday Of last
week was Miss Genevieve Clark,
clutched the eoatsleave of James Nc
Ilhany Thomson TO draw his attention
forcibly
What was it that so attracted the
brides attention? Il might have been

ment in Lincoln park, or the smoke
from the Illinois Central trains. But
IL was not. II was a multicolored
dress on display In she window of a
store on Michigan avenue.
Mrs. Thomson, being bride, escort
ed her husband over TO have close
look at the creation and Mr. Thomson,
being a bridegroom. replied TO his
wife's criticism of dresses and hats
with monosyllabic murmurs of assent.
And then there appeared the inevita-
bic Nemesis--the newspaper photogra-
pher-inevitabie since the couple ar
rived in Chicago.
For some two weeks or more re-
porters have been occupying a large
amount of time that MIR. Thomson and
his bride think could be devoted to
something more useful. On arriving
IN Chicago. therefore. elaborate plans
were made to eyads the newspaper
men. They left the train on the
wrong side, only to find reporter
and photographer waiting for them
1t the taxicah They hurried TO TO the
Blackstone hotel and left strict orders
not to be disturbed. Failure marked
every effort TO avoid the spotlight.
Finally Mr.. Thomson, newspaper
man himself. succumbed and greeted
reporters In the lobby. From the time
the couple arrived until 9 o'clock in
the evening they did not leave their
suite. At o'clock In the afternoon
the pangs of hunger became insistent
snd q luncheon was ordered. Mean
while Mr.. Thomson let il be known
that his wife and he were not going TO
leave their apartments until the fol-
lowing day.
But all was in vain. While pretty

ITCHING NEARLY
DROVE A WHOLE
FAMILY CRAZY

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. %, 19l4:-
MY husband had a rash all over his
body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY
was in the same condition. It looked
scsly and raised up on the arms and
body in big bumps. This trouble
burned and itched so that It would
nearly drive one crazy. 1t 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 prescriptions
with no results. We tried Resinol Oint-
ment and Resinol Soap and it RE-
LIEVED AT ONCE, and before the
third jar of ointment had been used, We
were all completely cured. Is has been
four months since we were cured, and
there are no traces of the trouble

ment and Resinel Sosp, and physicians

BERLIN. June 25.--A preliminary
draft Of Germany's reply to the sec

change, / am authoritively informed,
contains the following representati-
ons. That Germany Is fighting for the
freedom Of the seas. but doesn't des-
ire TO jeopardize the interests of neu-

friendship for the United States; ac-
ceptance Of President Wilson's sug-
gestion Of willingness to mediate be-
tween Great Britain and Germany, to
obtain a modification of the British
blockade in return for modification
OF the methods OF submarine warfare;
an indication that Germany probably
had been mlsinformed in its conten-

There Is an indication too that
Geormany is willing to negotiate with
the United States along the lines laid
down by the president in his human
1ty" plea, but without entirely giving
up submarine attacks upon enemy
merchantmen which many regard as
Germanys most effective sea weapon
and. further, that any compromise, to
which Germany may agree regarding
belligerent ships, must secure to Ger
many safety for It's submarines from
