The Itching and Sting
of BLAZING. Fierv Eczema

Seems Like the Skin Is on Fire.
There is a harrassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost be-
comes torture. The itching is al
most unbearable, and the skin seems
on fire with the burning irritation.
A cure from local applications Of
salves and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only al
lay the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by going deep
down to its source.
The source Of Eczema is in the

WOMEN OF AMERICA!
THE ARMY NEEDS NURSES

Major General w C. Gorsas. surgeon
general OF the United States army-the
man who cleaned up Havana and the
Panama Canal-now wants 70 build up
IN this country a great reserve OF
trained nurses capable Of taking care
OF our boys over there" and after the

work In our own country.
American women are more than anX-
ious TO do their full part in this war, -
said General Gorgas today. Not CON

yearn for service into active work FOR
the army. We have precisely the op-
portunlty for them
I'VE have IN the army about 1900
graduate nurses Before the year is over
we Will need 5000 more. Next year we
VIII have to have at least 10000 more.
NOW, we don't feel that we can az
ford TO drain civilian hospitals OF all
their trained nurses. Also we don't
want 10 follow the British example
where unframed women became volun-
teer nurses aids. So we have deter
mined on an army school OF nursing
attached to each military hospital, just
as the Civilian hospitals have tlT>>
training schools for nurses.
The advantages Of this plan art
three-fOld:
First: We create great reserve
OF trained nurses upon whom we can
draw II the1war is prolonged
Second: We make for efficiency OF
service in the nursing corps without

Third; We give great body OF

better fitted when they become wives
and mothers TO care for their own lit

I'VE expect TO establish these train

country. The course VIII be free and
