Entire Body Covered With Watery Pimples Would Scratch Till Blood Came

Providence, R. l., Oct. 15, 1915.- Some time ago my skin began to break out in little pimples. These filled with water, and when they opened the watery fluid ran out and spread the trouble until my entire body from my face to my feet was covered. The itching was something terrible, and I would scratch until the blood came, and my skin would feel as if it were burning. I tried a pre- scription and several kinds of salve, but none helped me. After I had suf- fered this way for about IA or Is months I tried Reslnol Ointment and Resinol Soap, and the first application relieved me so that I slept that night. In six weeks I was cured" (Signed) Raymond E. Madicy, 69O Union Ave.

TREND OF THE CAMPAIGN CAUGHT
 ON A PULLMAN
Human Dictaphone Sends Record of Trip Across Continent to His Politi- cally Inclined Sister.

The smoking-room of railroad trains furnish excellent opportunities to 'feel the public pulse" A young business man the other day was about to start on a trip from New York to St. Louis His sister is intensely interested in politics this year-more so, perhaps than her brother.
 "Send me a report on the political | trend" suggested the young mans sister as he stepped aboard the train Here is the report, precisely as he made it:
 The Tale of the Smoker. Scene-Smoking compartment of a Pennsylvania Pullman, train No. 27, New York to St. Louis. Assembled-A glass manufacturer St. Louis; a banker, (junior member of frm), St. Louis; a hotel manager, St. Louis; a capitalist, St. Joseph, Mo. a railroad man (industrial develop ment department), and Democratic scout" (traveling incognito). Conversation Weather, good; meals on diner, very good; cigars, dis sension Gone preferred a pipe, two
 
 red cigars of various brands); crops good and yet uncertain; money, good Railroad strike-Serious; Federal intervention necessary; Wilson's hand to guide.
 Politics In last analysis, strong for Wilson; hats off to the President; some points on which to condemn him, but these outweighed by his | good points; all agreed that he has | kept us out of war" and all applaud ed Democratic bigness in refrainine from mud-slinging; four of the six said they were for Hughes at the time of his nomination, but he fell down in his speech of acceptance. Quota l tion from the glass manufacturer: | Why, I have a prospective son-in. law in his third year at college, and | if he couldn't have written a more | constructive speech than that, To take my girl cruising around the world to make her forget him. Suffrage-Hughes condemned fo, l his inconsistent attitude: Wilson ap- proved for his stand and for doing what he could, i. e., voting locally. Policy-Hughes condemned for in- consistent statements, first an definite plan and then another which would directly conflict. Wilson not given to any definite pledged policy. but meeting situations as necessity re- quires.
 Experience-Hughes none as legis- lator; Wilson, strong by virtue of bat tling with Congress.

KANSAS CITY WELCOMES OLD
 BOYS IN BLUE
Hundreds of Householders, Open Homes to Civil War
 Veterans.

Kansas City, Aug. 26-Kansas City householders welcomed into their homes today great numbers of the Union veterans of the Civil War here to attend the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Be7 tween 15, 900 and 10000 veterans have reached the city, and because the ca pacity of hotels and boarding houses was taxed and because many of the old soldiers are in moderate circum- stances, the citizens were asked by the local committee to take care of as many of the visitors as they could. Besides the veterans quartered in pri- vate homes, others were assigned in large dance hall fitted out with cots. Other temporary homes have been arranged.
 Convention hall, the place for the formal meetings of the veterans, has scattered members of regiments may reunite. One of the booths has been turned over to the pension bureau at Washington, at request of E. c. Tie man, acting commissioner, and in it questions pertaining to pensions will be answered.
 A thousand boy scouts will act as guides and aids to the veterans while they are here. Under the direction Of pr. James H. Sowerby, chief scout executive, they have been trained to serve the soldiers in every way. Spec ial training in first aid work has been given the youngsters.
 "Whenever you speak to a veteran" call him 'comrade,'' said Dr. Sow erby in his final instructions. "They are keen for helping the old men," Dr. Sowerby said, land I can imagine the stories the veterans will tell them. It will be good training for the boys and should be of great service to the men of the Grand Army"

WHERE SALES
 ARE LOST

Observing merchants must be inn tpressed with the idea that many sales are missed by but a hairs breadth of decision. A woman enters a store without any positive idea of what she wants. She sees some article that lappeals to her. But she can't make up her mind to take it on the spur of the moment. She is in hurry or ithe sales clerk can't give undivided attention. She passes 1t up, and postpones the decision.
 It is one of the great advantages of | iadvertising, that it helps customers make their decisions. After a woman has read about a certain bargain in the newspapers. her mind is half made up before leaving home. In her own home at her leisure, she had plenty of time to think whether she really wanted the article enough to pay the price.
 ! When she sees the article thus ad- vertised the hesitation felt on other occasions has disappeared. She knows shey wants the goods, now she merely hastto be satisfied that she is getting her moneys worth.
 Merchants rarely dare to advertise goods that do not give full value. Consequently the first sight of adver- tised goods is apt to more than con- firm and realize the anticipations cre- ated. The sale is easily and quickly made. The merchant gets rid of his goods with the minimum of time and expense. and the customer gets the ar ,ticle with the minimum of bother.
 Women like time in which to think over the making of purchases. They hate to bother salespeople while they deliberate. Consequently if they feel in doubt, they are very apt to decide not to take the goods and purpose to return at some future time. This they may never do.
 There is little of that vacillation where they are attracted to a store by newspaper advertising of some bargain or bargains. Most of the ideas that usually make they weigh and questions have been settled in advance.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
FALLING TO PIECES,

Waterbury, Aug. 25.-The condition of the Meriden, Waterbury and Con- necticut River Road since it's purchase by Judge Robinson of Hartford, and over which no trains have been run in several months, is falling into a very bad way. The buildings in Wa terbury are falling to pieces and the platforms have routed away. Many of the bridges on the line are now said tc be unsafe for trains, and rails on the main line and sidings have spread so that trains could not run if it was de- sired to have them. Freight is deIiv- cred to Waterbury concerns having spur tracks on the line of the road by the New England, but the Meriden line is used in no other way and the prop erty is depreciating in value, hundreds of dollars per day.

DIVISION
 TIED UP BY WRECK

Waltham. Mass, Aug. 26-Traffic on the main line and the Watertown branch of the Fitchburg division of the Boston & Maine Railroad was tied up for several hours today as a result of freight wreck. An east-bound freight train was derailed at a switch near the Waltham station to prevent collision with an approaching west bound freight on the Watertown branch. The engine took the derail switch but the tender and three cars were swung sidewise across the tracks, tearing up rails, disarranging the automatic switching system and blocking all traffic. No one was hurt.

It is but just to say that the Sadie" was considerably the larger boat and the wind being fresh and the sound quite rough, she sailed at a vantage, no allowance for difference of length being made. The "Go-Softly'' was sailed with great skill by Mir. Christopher Smith of this city, but his science could not counterbal- ance the superior size of the winning boat.

Fred Toney announced at the start of the season that he would win twenty-five games this season if the Reds would give him about four runs per game.

OF Interest to Women
TURQUOISE BLUE AND WHITE GOWNS.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, August 2s-curious
shades of blue, alluring tones. difficult
to- wear tones and conspicuous tones arc
in the height of fashion. 1t is not Watch
your STEP" but watch your eyes," when
it comes to choosing blue costume
The world is full of number of shades
and all you have to do Is to get mirror
a good light and bit Of the material
under your chin II you would be a success.
80 New Tones in Blue.
There are blues that have come out OF
old Egypt, there are blues that have come
out of Italy and there are others that
have been taken from the canvases OF
Inge, Natter and Boucher. There are
tones that set and smile. like Kipling's
Indian ocean, SO sof. so bright, so
bloomin' blue.
Turquoise, sapphire and lapis lazuli
have their reproductions in fabrics. The
ancients always put into blue subtlety,
allure and mystery, and there were tones
that seemed to be animated by person
ality.
Where there was an artist In other
days. he tried his hand at something new
in blue. 1t might have been monk IN
his garden, Illuminating the letters OF the
Bible in blue, over which dyerS nave
wrung their hands in despair.
1t might have been fifteenth century
painter. in his garret, putting blue on
a strip of canvas that would remain viV1o
and enticing throughout the centuries
1t might have been an artisan of the
renaissance dipping his precious fabrics
with tender hands into secretly assembled
dyes, to bring forth blue that would oe
worn by queen or stretched across the
altar of an old church.
In later decades, however, the majority
of master dyers accepted whatever blue
they could obtain from their dyepots,
without striving to put skill or mystery
into the subtle depths of the fabrics
which went on the counters to be sold
by the bolt.
Then, there came a change. not revo-
luton, but a subtle thread of endeavor
that ran through the dyeing OF blues TO
make them reach more artistic planes:
And today we're getting the result OF
much of this thought. There are SO many
blues in the shops, and Paris is offering
such an enviable assortment OF shades in
this color that probably women will be
more frequently dressed in it than before.
Clouds of Blue ,Tulle.
There are not many seasons in which 1t
is fashionable to wear dance and dinner
gowns of dark blue tulle. but a woman
may make such a choice now and feel
that she has placed herself in the fore
front Of brilliant movement.
These new blue tulle gowns are not
commonplace in their appearance. They
have such vividness Of coloring matter
that they sparkle and glisten with more
