EASY WAY TO
HEAL COMMON
SKIN-TROUBLES

\ Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple but well-tried 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 a cake of res
mol 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
orusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on a thin layer of
the resinol ointment, and cover with
a light bandage, if necessary, to pro-
teet the clothing. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the
first treatment. and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again, un-
less the trouble is due to some serious

work expected from those enlisted
are as follows:

Determine that you will have

possibilities of 100 men as a working
force in your church. They VIII all

meeting next Wednesday night by
Commissioner Harry j. Stanley, who
is a member Of both bodies. accord
ing to a statement by him at a special
meeting of the Plan Commission in
the Town Hall last night.
Mr.. Stanley affirmed that, while he
favored safety isles. he does not be-
lieve there is room for one at the
junction. The plans as proposed by
the Plan Commission call for an isle
several feet wide and the length of a
trolley car The commissioner feared
that the driveway would not be Of
sufficient width to allow a wagon to
stand at the curb and leave room for
another vehicle to pass. condition
which might be productive of acci-
dents. He declared he would bring it
before the Town Commission, with the
request that it be referred to the road
committee of the Board of Free
holders. as Springfield avenue is a
county road
The other commissioners seem to be
of the belief that an isle should be
constructed and President Fred w.
DeCamD declared that several of the
freeholders favor the project.
Several street extensions proposed
by the planners were taken up, but
all were laid over for further action.

kill the project, is opposed to the ex-
tension. The extension of Stratford
place to Weber place was also tabled

to maintain it. No action was taken

Orange Rabbi Makes Plea
for Aid of War Sufferers

Rabbi Alter Abelson, of the Congre-
gational Sharey Tefilo, Orange, spoke
last night upon the need of assisting
the Jewish war sufferers tag day on
January 27, at the weekly services.
His topic was: 'Israels New Book of
Lamentations" He said in part:
Israel bears two priceless pearls in
his heart, the pearl of love and the
pearl of tears. The pearl of love ever
costs him dearly, eternal pain. In
every age the Jew writes a new book
of lamentations. Since August, 1914,
the European Jew. who suffers for
all and from all, who is on every bat
tlefield of every nation that is hostile
to him and denies him his human
rights, has been writing the saddest
book of wall and lamentation
written IN life blood in lines of hunger
starvation, ruin and death for
fathers, mothers and little ones.
will not all prompted by human
impulses respond to the cry. Give
bread to the living and shrouds for
the dead"

Thought to Be Brooklyn
Resident.

A man was found unconscious at
Speedway and Fifteenth avenues,
| Irvington, last night. He is thought
to be David Greenberg, of 654 Hins-
dale street, Brooklyn. Relatives are
expected to call today at GLADDEN.
Lodge Hospital and if the identifica-
tion is verified take him home. He
recovered consciousness this morning,
but his statements are so rambling
that but little information can be
gained from him.
He declares his name to be Green
berg. but says he lives in place
called New Lock-" near South Or
ange avenue, this city, where he is
engaged in the tailoring business,
while his wife runs a vegetable store.
He also claims to have a brother-in-
law at COZ South Orange avenue, but
the hospital authorities are unable to
understand the name of the brother
in-law.
A card in the mans pocket was
addressed to David Sherman, COZ
Sutter avenue, Brooklyn. The Irving
ton police called the Brooklyn au-
thorities and received the reply given
above. The Brooklyn police also say
that he left home on January 20 in
search of work.
Articles in his pockets establish his
business as tailor. a DuIlon VIII

partment. New York.
He was found about 6 o'clock lying
near the sidewalk. The police were
, called and he was taken to the hos
pital, where he came to this morn
ing. Slight bruises on the head and
leg are believed to have been received
when he fell. He is unable to tell
how he came to be on the street or
what happened to him.
This makes the third man to be
found unconscious on an Irvington
street within the past few months.
The last one, George Oberst, of 50
Beverly street, this city, was found
about two weeks ago. All have re-
mained unconscious over night and
upon recovering have been unable to
tell what happened to them.
