CHECK THAT
 ECZEMA BEFORE IT GETS SERIOUS

That little patch of eruption may be now. But, if neglected, such things have an uncomfortable way of spread ing and becoming really serious turning into itching, burning skin troubles that make life almost un- bearable.
 So don't take chances. Nip it in the bud with a few simple treatments with Resfnol. Usually the first bath ing with Resinol Soap and dressing with Resinol Ointment stop all itching and soon the irritation Is entirely cleared away. Doctors have prescribed Resinol for over 20 years, so that it is not an experiment, but Q remedy of proven value. All druggists sell Resi- mol Ointment and Resinol Soap. But if YOU want a sample of each, free, write to Dept 54-R. Resinol, -aBaIti- more, Md

ANGEL WAS TO
 HAVE LECTURED HERE
But Was Sentenced Because He De-
 clined to Take Part in the War.

The recently published wireless des- patch from Berlin that Norman Angell had been sentenced to IS months hard labor in an English prison because he declined to take part in the war is of more than passing interest locally for the reason that arrangements had been completed for MT. Angell to lecture at Slater hall this fall. According to the report, Mir. AugeIrs defense, that he had conscientious sc,uples against war service, was overruled by an English court. The conscription limit is said to be 41 years and as Mir. Angell is 42 years old the statement that the English authors refusal to enlist was the cause of his imprisonment has been discredited. MT. Angel is the most widely read of all writers treating of international politics and his books have been translated into some 25 lan- guages.

MRS. KEEPS GIFT.
Former Norwich Woman Provides 50 Quarts of Milk Daily For St. Agnes Home Babeis.

The thousands of Catholics in Nor wich who contributed to build St. Agnes Home for Dependent Infants of the diocese will read with interest the following from the current Catholic Transcript, regarding the generosity of Mrs. Keep, widow of Dr. Robert P. Keep, for years the honored prnci- pal of Norwich Free Academy:
 Thought they do not know it, the babies at St. Agnes Home-they now numbers upwards of 160-are indebted to Mrs. E. V. Keep of Miss sixty quarts of rich milk which has been coming to them daily since June 19. This is the second sum- mer that the little children have en- joyed the bounty of Mrs. Keep. When the young ladies of the schools the product of the dairy more than suppleis the current demands of the community at the school, and Mrs Keep has for two years remembered the children of St. Agnes Home Her charity is the more appreciated because the Pennington dairy and stables are provided with the most approved and sanitary equipment ot the day. The Sisters at St. Agnes exercise the most scrupulous care in providing saESriy food for the in- fants. The children demand an end less of milk and no less than 190 quarts are required every day to si- lence their clamors.
 The thoughtful generosity of Mrs Keep is deeply appreciated by the Sis terS of Mercy who are in charge of the Home They may be depended upon to make known to thelr wards in due season who the kind lady is that sends them so much delicious milk in the summer time. Some of them S'ill re- pay as they can and in the only way within their power.
