"FIy COMPLAINT"

Summer complaint" is what they
used to call the intestinal infections
that carry on so many thousands OF
babies each summer; but now doctors
often call It ''fiy complaint" for they
are frequently caused by common
house flies, which carry the disease
germs to baby's mouth.
The Panama Canal zone was once
SO unwholesome place that white
men could not live there for any
length Of time. The government ex-
terminated dies and mosquitoes and
now the zone is as free Of disease as
any place.
Screen your house early. Keep out
all the flies you can. swat every ny
that sneaks in, and destroy all refuse
heaps that might be breeding places
for flies.
One doctors bill saved will pay fbr
screening q house, and may save q
life, too.-Kansas City Star.

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get . Jar
Of Resinol Ointment and q cake OF
Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex-
pensive. With the Resinol Soap and
warm water bathe the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin IL softened. Dry
very gently, spread ON . thin layer OF
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
. light bandage-if necessary to pro-
tect the clothing. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

The royal palaces have seen their
days of glory. The one most used By
the late king was the north palace.
Some Of the buildings are gone. some
are neglected. The two most interest
ing were the great audience hall and
the pavilion by the lotus pond. AR
proach to the audience hall was strict
ly regulated. There were nine grades
OF officers, each with two degrees. The
paved way leading up to the audience
hall was evenly spaced by pairs Of
stone posts, one on either side. Eighteen
pairs in all; each pair indicated the
distance to which one grade Of oficial
