 MADE WELL
 BY RESINOL

No matter how long you have been tortured and disfgured by itching, burning, raw or scaly skin humors, just put 8 little of that soothing, an- tiseptic Resinol Ointment on the sores. The suffering usually stops right there!
 Healing begins that very minute, and in almost every case your skin gets we'll so quickly you feel ashamed of the money you threw away on tedious, useless treatments.
 Resinol Ointment is not an experi- ment. It is doctors prescription which proved so wonderfully successful for skin troubles that it has been used by other doctors all over the country for twenty years. No other treatment for the skin now before the public can show such record of professional ap- proval. Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment t5oc: and $l.0O), and Resi- mol Soap (25c.). They do wonders for pimples, blackheads, dandruff and chafngs, and are a comfort to skin tortured babies.

Clearing Condition Predicted.

Boston, Dec. 14.-While many points along the New England coast could not be reached because of the general interruption of wire service, reports early today indicated that the worst part of the storm had passed out to sea and with the shifting of the winds from the west the weather bureau announced that clearing con- ditions would prevail this afternoon. The wind which attained a maximum of fifty miles in Bosto nhad last drop ped to 20 miles at a. m., at which time there was only a slight fall of snow.
 Reports from points along Cape Cod stated that the wind had reached
 hurricane proportions but that it had
 subsided and that the barometer was
 rising steadily. Many of the coast
 guard stations were cut off by the storm, but a general inquiry at an ear- ly hour failed to show any disaster to shipping, which had been warned in time to seek shelter.
 Trains Badly Delayed.
 The telephone and telegraph com panies sent working squads in many directions as soon as it was found that the service had been interrupted. 1 Trains were badly delayed on many | lines but the work of restoring rail- road and wire traffic proceeded rapid

RATS INVADE LINES
 OF ALLIED TROOPS
Attack on British and French In Elan dcrs and France, Described as
 "WOrse Than Germans"

Correspondence of the Asso eiared Press,
 London. Nov. 3O.-Thcrc IS a plarue of rats along the British and French lines in Flanders and France. A soldier describes the invasion as worse than the Germans in a letter which adds:
 Trenches communications, fields, woods, houses, cellars and barns are choked with them. We have them holding congresses at night in the busiest roads and giving concerts by day in the most crowded villages. We literally march on top of them. They breed and bred and launch themselves into assaults on the cantonments, like the Germans on the Yser, by batal- lions en masse.
 'They are beginning to be tortured by hunger, and the shortage of food makes them capable of anything. The other morning I saw a cyclist whose tires had been half devoured by a pla- toon of rats. The other night some of our men had their surgical first aid packets, which they keep in a coat pocket, attacked and carried off. Woe to the man who goes to sleep with a morsel of chocolate in his trousers. He will wake up to find himself with his trousers
 The writer goes on to describe the methods of warfare that are being used against the new enemy, particu- larly some of the ingenious giant traps devised by the soldiers for catching the rats on a wholesale scale.

London, Dec. IA, 12:49 D. m.-The plan presented in the house of com- mons yesterday by Reginald McKen- na, chancellor of the exchequer for mobilization of American securities is received with favor by major part of the press.
