with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. Alittle zemo

Mrs. J. K. McMicheal of Milan
injured her left arm in a fall she
received at her home on the corner
of Fourth and Williams streets
yesterday afternoon. She was TAX
ing clothes off of the line after 4
washing when she slipped on a
sidewalk striking on her shoulder
The force of the blow was some
what lessened by the bundle of
clothes which she had over her
arm. The shoulder is thought to
be dislocated, but as the shock was
so great the doctor was not able
to ascertain the extent of the in
jury. Mrs. McMicheal is past 80
years of age.
