FOR THE SAKE OF BOYS.

Rev. John Empringham, an Epls.
copal clergyman of New York, be-
came. as he expressed it in an interde-
nominational meeting of 500 minis
tiers, filled with the thought of how
much power might be added to the anti
liquor forces If the Episcopal church
would lend some of it's strength" and,
realizing that none of the present
antisaloon speakers have the entree
to its pulpits," volunteered for the
work. He said to his wife: For
the sake of our five boys, I am going
to wage war against the liquor bust
ness" She replied: "My sister in
Canada has sacrificed her two boys in
the trenches for England. The foe
destroying this country is more dam
gerous. l am willing to make any sac
rifice." Three Of those five boys"
said Mr.. Empringham, ARE preparing
for West Point, and il the need ever
came, I would be willing to see them
give up their lives in defense Of this
country, but l am not willing to see
them go down to the gutter, victims Of
the saloon"
How about your boys?

Results of Tests Made Last
Winter by Kansas City People
Now Announced.

From the Kansas City star-When the
Southern treatment for Group and
cold troubIes-viek's vap-o.Ruh
Salve-was being introduced In
Kansas City, No., last spring, the
local druggists naturally were skep,
ticai. They wanted to be "shown"
that vap.o-Rub really would relieve
Group and colds Just by applying
over the throat and chest. So ar
engagements were made for each
druggist to give away a few eompli'
mentary Jars to his customers on
condition that they give Il a thor
oush trial and report the results,
We give below a few extracts from
these reports.
Mrs. James Rollens. 1928 Tracey
Ave., writes-'I have used vap-O-Rub
for a cold in the chest and find 1t ex.
c%ellent, and especially 20 for children.
I have also used it several times for
asthma and find 1t does wonderful
work."
Mrs. Almira Turner, 1914 E. Gath st.,
used vap-O-Rub on her husband who
had bronchitis and relieved him with
two nights applications. Mrs. Turner
has also tried 1t on her children, and
particularly on her four months old
baby, VINO had q bad cold. and 1T
surely did cure her. I cannot praise 1t
too highly"

RussIA's

Pierre l.. Bark, Russian minister
Of finance recently declared that Rus
sia's prosperity is rapidly on the in
crease.
"Russia's finances rest upon the
most solid foundation in the world"
said Mr.. Bark. 1.-THE economic pros
perity of the Russian people is now
greater than was vel conceived pos.
sible before the beginning Of the war.
There is nothing illusory or specious
about Russia's prosperity. 1t rests
upon tho incontrovertible fact of tho
Russian peoples increased earnings
and savings. When a year ago the
savings banks showed a monthly in.
crease in deposits of $4,000, 900 rubles,
it was regarded as phenomenal. But
that was only the beginning" Saw
ings deposits have increased over
1000 per cent under prohibition. This
greatly changed condition Of Russian
finances, Minister Bark explains, lis
accounted for principally by the grow
ing thrift and economy of the peas
ants since the enforcement Of prohi-
bition."

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 a jar
of Resinol Ointment and a cake of
Resinol Soap. These are not at all OK.

warm water battle the affected parts

crusts and the skin is s%oftened. Dry
very gently. spread on a thin layer of
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
a light bandage-if necessary to pro.
tect the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

APRON EFFECTS IN
PARTY FROCKS

Lauvin is credited with the original
apron front dress. of which the frock
shown in the picture is an adaptation,
with few changes. 1t is an excellent
suggestion for a party frock. The
skirt is made Of four flounces of net
with embroidered borders and has a
straight-hanging apron or panel of
lowered taffeta at the front and back.
These panels are gathered onto a net
yoke, which joins the first of the net
tiounces also.
The pictured dress is a good model
for a party or dinner frock. The
panels Of pompadour taffeta give II

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.

SSNo IOFNNI iON.
(Anna A. Gordon. President National
w. C.. 7. u. and One of the National
Prohibition Amendment Commission.)
In order to win national constitu-
tional prohibition two-thirds of the
members Of the United States senate
and house of representatives must
vote In favor Of a bill referring the
question to the various states for rati.
fication through their legislatures.
When &c of our 48 states through a
majority vote of their legislatures rat.
ify the measure thus referred it is
adopted and becomes a part Of tho
United States Constitution. Such a
prohibitory amendment is surely in
harmony with the spirit Of the Consti.
tuition of the United States, which. as
its preamble declares. was established
ito promote the general welfare and
secure the blessing of liberty to our
selves and our posterity.
Nineteen commonwealth have al.
ready gained the high, dry ground of
statewide prohibition. Six states
Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana,
California, Idaho and Michigan-vote
on the question on November 7. Idaho

tory prohibitory law to constitutional
prohibition. The territory of Alaska
also closes a prohibition campaign on
November 7. II we can win this ad.
ditional prohibition territory and call
a roll Of 26 prohibition states we
shall be within ten states Of our ma.
tional goal. The fact that more than
half the people and more than three.
quarters Of the area of this country
are under prohibitory laws is assur-
ance that we are fast nearing national
constitutional prohibition.
All states will benefit by the amend
ment. All will still have power to go
just as far as they desire in prohibit.
ing any phase of the liquor traffic and
will have the aid which comes from
a national policy. Our greatest diff
Guilty today is the difference in policy
between the nations government and
the prohibition states. With a sim
liar prohibition standard in the ma
ton and the states federal and state
officers would furnish "a frank and
candid cooperation for the general
good"
