 Secretary McAdoo supports his con- tention by saying that steamships of the sort he proposes could be used as naval auxiliaries in time of war. He says the navy department has in formed him that in order to bring the United States navy to its maximum usefulness and efficiency in wartime there is need of 400 merchant vessels of approximately 1,172,O00 gross tons and in addition about 324 vessels of 15O tons each to be used for mine sweeping in case the coasts are in vested or visited by the enemy.

 Task Difficult.
 The task of the United States high commission on uniformity of laws he says is both great and difficult and an appropriation of $25,000 he thinks modestly sufficient The subject of direct cable communications between north and south and Central America considered of great importance by the conference, the secretary declares, could be studied by the high commits sion if the appropriation is granted.
 The first conference MT. McAdoo says gave convincing proof of the ad- vantages of such meetings and the recomm endation for a $50,000 appro- priation for a second next year is made with the idea that they may be- come annual affairs. The secretary says that it is the purpose to work in harmony with the n-American union.

HOW TO HEAL KIN-DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and sim- liar itching, burning skin troubles.
 At any reliable druggists get a jar of resinol ointment and cake of resinol soap. These will not cost a bit more than seventy-fve cents. With the res- inol soap and warm water bathe the af- fected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is soft ened. Dry very gently, spread on thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with 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.
