POPE BENEDICT
SEEN IN MOVIES
Two Hundred Little Girls
Witness Knights of Co.
lumbus Pictures.

Two hundred little girls of Wash
ington had their first glimpse of
Pope Benedict XIV. last night. Be-
fore His Excellency Archbishop John
BonzanoJ Papal Delegate to the
United states, and the girls of the
institution moving pictures of Pope
Benedict XIV. with the members of
the Knights of Columbus pilgrims to
Rome were shown at St. Roses In
dustrial School last night.
1t was the first time that the Apos-
tolic Delegate had attended a motion
picture show and it was the first
showing of the complete pictures of
most of the principal events of the
K. of c. Lafayette -Metz-Rome tour.
Close-ups were shown OF Marshal
FoCh, Marshal Petain. General Man
gin, President Millerand, Cardinal
Lucon and scores of other European
notables. The unwilling ceremonies
in connection with the dedication of
the K. of c. statue at Metz showed
the pick of the French army in re-
view.
At the conclusion of the pictures
Archbishop Bonzano expressed his
great pleasure at having seen the
Pope with the Representatives of the
X of c. 1t was the first time that
any Pope had posed for motion pic
lures in the Vatican.

Without Protest.

Teachers in the primary grades
OF Washington schools will begin
working FIVE hours a day. instead

Skin Diseases
Cause Real Torture

to the skin will find that no perma-
nent good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Years Of untold suffering can be
avoided if the real cause of dis
ease can be definitely determined,
and the proper method of treatment
employed. Hence those afflicted
with Eczema will continue to suffer
as long as they consider the dis
ease a condition of the skin, and
rely solely upon local applications.
If you really want to be cured
you must realize that the disease
is in the blood, and you can ex-
Pect relief only from treatment that
is directed toward cleansing the
blood of the disease germs. This
is why S. S. S. is so successful in
the treatment of Eczema and all
other diseases of the blood; be-
cause 1t acts as an antidote to any
ImPurity that finds lodgment in the
blood. 1t is an exceptionally fine
tonic and besides eliminating from
the blood all traces of impurity, it
builds up and strengthens the entire
system at the same time.

The disease appears in different
ways. sometimes with a reddening
and irritation of the skin, some
times In the form of blisters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form of a
dry, scaly condition of the skin
that cracks and peels. But no mat
ter in what form the disease ap-
pears, it is a source of constant
fiery irritation that is weIl-nigh un-
bearable.
Eczema is very often considered
a skin disease. This is a natural
mistake, as it attacks the skin and
it is through the skin that it causes
so much discomfort and suffering.
The germs of Eczema are in the
blood. and the irritated and dis
eased condition Of the skin is the
result of the germs trying to break
out of the system.
Beyond the use of antiseptics
to promote cleanliness, there is no
local treatment that will accomplish
a permanent cure of this disease.

An interesting illustration of jay

a deal in copper. The var caused an
extraordinary demand for this metal,
and sent the price soaring. The coin

that a gold dollar will buy anywhere
from 1900 to 1000 of them. according

To buy these cash of the Chinese and
sell them to the Europeans, who need
