HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringwrm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar
Of Resinol Ointment and cake of
Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex-
pensive. With the Resinol Soap and
warm water battle the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin is 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.

A Famous Physicians
Wonderful Discovery

the kidneys are deranged the blood is
filled with poisonous waste matter,
which settles in the feet, ankles and
wrists; or under the eyes in bag-like
formations.
1t is just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep the
bowels active.
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take glass of
hot water before meals and an "Anu-
ric'' tablet. In this way it is readily
dissolved with the food, picked up by
the blood and finally reaches the kid
neys, where it has tonic effect in re-
building those organs.
Step into the drug store and ask for
50-cent package of "Anuric," or send
DR.. Pierce 10c. for trial pckg "Anuric"
many times more potent than lithia,
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

in deceiving the German naval author
tiles regarding the vessel he admitted
attacking. His report was implicitly
believed until America presented con-
elusive evidence to the contrary. In
view of this evidence the Germans feel
