Priickly
Heat

Prickly Heat can be relieved and
prevented by the use of Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder. DIR. NJ. w.
Charter, of the Faculte de Paris,
France, after using it success
fully, says that it possesses cura-
tive and preventative properties to
a high degree. This is the general
opinion of all physicians who have
tried Tyree's Antiseptic Powder in
abrasions, burns, ulcers and in
fected conditions of the skin and
mucous membranes. Its high an
tiseptic properties make it one of
the most powerful remedies at the
command of the physicians for
combating the effects of patho-
genie micro-organisms after they
have become active, and preventing
the further growth and activity of
pyogenic bacteria. 1t is not an
expensive preparation, and, there
fore, even long treatment can be
carried out with comparatively
small cost to the patient. The doc
tor recommends in these cases a
sponge bath made of one ounce
OF Tyree's Powder in a basin oi
water applied freely three times &
day. Wonderfully efficacious in
cases of Poison Oak, Mosquito
Bites. Etc. For sale by all drug
gists.

PRESIDENT COMMENTS
TREATY LEAD INQUIRY

A cable message from President
Wilson regarding the investigation of
the treaty leak was transmitted
through the White House and read
by Senator Hitchcock when the For
eign Relations Committee met yester-
day to plan its investigation. The
message said:
please convey following to Senator
Hitchcock: L am heartily glad that
you have demanded an investigation
with regard to the possession of texts
of the treaty by unauthorized per-
sons. 1 have felt that It was highly
undesirable officially to communicate
the text OF a document which is still
in negotiation and subject to change.
Anyone who has possession of the
official English text has what he Is
clearly not entitled to have or to
communicate. | have felt in honor
bound to act in the same spirit and
in the same way as the representa-
tives of the other great powers In
this matter. and am confident that
my fellow-countrymenw will not expect
me to break faith with them. l hope
the investigation will be most thor
oughly prosecuted"
