Skin Eruption Cause
Scratching Increases the Irritation
of the Delicate Skin

You can claw your nails into your
skin until it bleeds, in an effort to OBJ
tain relief from the fiery itching and
burning caused by skin diseases, but
you only increase the irritation and
pain.
And you can pour ointments, salves
and lotions by the gallon on the irri-
tated parts, without obtaining any
thing but temporary relief. Just as
soon as the strength of the counter ir
ritant gives out, your pain and torture
will return with increased violence.

reached the source of the trouble.
The real source of all skin disease

Run ON UNCLE SANS BANK

There has been a run on the Unit
ed States bank lately. That is to
say, on the postoffice, say a report
from the east. Postmasters in many
cities report regular siege on the
part of people seeking to cash their
war savings stamps. There are long
lines before the windows. In some
places men and women with stamp
books in their hands have waited for
hours to draw their money. Extra
clerks have been assigned to the
work, because Uncle Sam holds it a
point of honor to take care of all
such demands and pay without
question. Any other policy would
be dangerous.
All these depositors, of course,
have not questioned the solidity and
trustworthiness Of the government
bank. They have been drawing out
their money because they wanted it
for some purpose or other. The un-
fortunate thing about 1t is that most
of these purposes were really un-
necessary, and that the depositors by
their thoughtless action have been
undoing great deal OF the fine
work done during the last year or
two in developing thrift.

THE STARVATION FUND

The opposition to the 100000.
600 appropriation asked for by the
president to feed starving friends in
Europe did not emanate from Amer
lean homes. 1t was not found in
public gatherings. Citizens discus
sing the matter, in private or public
would have been ashamed to look in
one another's faces and condemn So
generous an. action. The opposition
was found only in the halls of con-
gress.
Congressmen went out OF their
way to discover obstacles. Some of
them questioned the constitutional
ity of the measure. An ordinary po-
itical ''pork bill'' might be legal
enough, but it was held a dangerous
innovation to vote money for keep
ing alive through the winter certain
brave and worthy foreign popula-
tions which are in desperate straits
and incidentally damming with
food the advancing wave OF anarchy,
which threatens all Europe, and in
directly all the world. So this fine
and wise philanthropy, suggested by
the world food administrator and re-
commended by the president, was
hedged about with legislative diff
culties.
Those difficulties suddenly van
ished. They are swept away by a
sudden wind, blowing fresh from the
source OF all authority in America
The obstructive congressman heard

It was another striking demonstra.
tion Of the power of public opinion
Never was the public mind more
keen and expressive than it is today
and never were lawmakers and exc
cutives more conscious Of their rep
resentative function and more docilt
in obeying instructions.

How to Treat

ROST-BITE is especially apt 10

and fingers. Parts OF the
body are liable to freeze, like many
other objects.
insufficient clothing and gen.
orally weakened condition, with de-
pressed circulation. favor the oc-
Currence Of frost-bite. The use OF
alcohol invites it, because of the
CirCulatory stagnatiOn resulting
from the paralysis OF the small
blood vessels of the eXtremities in
duced by this potent poison.
When one is exposed TO intense
cold the possibility OF frost-bite
should be thought Of and proper
precautions taken. In addition to
sufficient covering rubbing of the
cold parts will help 10 maintain the
circulation.
When frost-bite occurs the part
affected becomes painfully cold at
first and then loses its feeling,
while it's color is seen to change TO
white or grayish white.
The natural temperature OF the
frozen part must be gradually re-
stored by rubbing with snow or
cold water. If heat is resorted to
at once gangrene is likely TO oc-
cur. The proper thing to do is 10
use warm water gradually after
the circulation and temperature OF
the parts have been in large part
restored by the rubbing with snow
or cold water.
Now let US suppose that a per-
son has been exposed for a long
time TO intense cold and has been
frozen, as we say. In such . case
the appearance OF the patient is
very much like that of death. Here
again the temperature and circu-
lation of the whole body must be
gradually restored. Treatment
should be started in cold room,
which should be only gradually
warmed.
The body. should be rubbed with
rough cloths wet in cool water.
The limbs should be rubbed toward
the body. Warmer water should
gradually be used. When the pa
