Skin IrritatiOnS
that Itch and Burn

Because the trouble attacks the
skin and all the pain and discom-
fort is confined to the surface of
the skin, these disorders are called
skin diseases" But the real cause
is a disease germ in the blood,
which muliplies by the million,
and sets up an irritation in some
tender location of the delicate
skin.
You can get some little relief for
the time being by rubbing or
scratching the irritated skin. but
you would not expect to be cured
in this way. Neither should you
expect a cure from local applica-
tions of lotions. ointments or other
remedies applied to the skin. for
the simple reason that a cure must
come from the source of the
trouble.
You must locate the headquar-
ters of the disease germs, and cut
off their base of supplies. The
blood is saturated with them. and
they will set up their attacks on
the surface of the skin as long
as they remain in the blood, no
matter how much local treatment
you take.

The recent heavy rains dam
aged hay and fodder and delayed
sorghum making. Cotton is OPP
ening very slowly and a lot of boil
rot is reported.
After the singing school closed
at Pebblehill a series of meetings
were conducted last week by the
Rev. Oswald of near Bonneville.
Lawrence Foreman, a boy of
the teen age, had an arm broken
recently in attempting to ride a
wild pony. This happened on a
Sunday. Some parents do not
seem to realize that it is better
for boys to be at Sunday school
and church than to ride the wild
mules and hunt rabbits on Sun
day.
The writer hopes and believes
that those who are making the
road surveys through the county
are exercising good Judgment in
the way of leaving certain towns
and iron bridges off the route.
Several school places in second
school district not yet supplied
with teachers.
At present the no-fence law
for south McNairy county would
be of more benefit to farmers
than the building of new road.
And such a law would also be of
benefit to roads, as Instructions
of some sort are put in bitches
along the roadside in order to
keep. hogs out of fields, causing
bitches to fill and water to over
flow the road.

 Strong Man of ince
 Company Film Star

Hobart Bosworth who is starred in Thomas H. Ince's special production, Behind the Door," which comes as Paramount-Artcraft pictures to the Central theatre Friday and Saturday, and to the Eagle Sunday and Monday, IS a forceful illusti ation that luDercu losis can be cured.
 Nineteen years ago, while playing Oil the stage, his health broke and he was sent to the West Coast with the medi- cal warning that he had but a few months to live. MT. Bosworth wasn't ready to die, so he slept outdoors, se- he came back to health and if there be any doubt that he is not hearty and rugged all that will be necessary as proof is the Ince picture, Behind the Door,"
 In the making of this production MT. Bosworth had to leap from a battle ship thirty feet into the ocean; he had to cling to the periscope of a submar- ing while it submerged; he was re- quired to fight mob of men, and had to rescue sailor and swim a quarter of mile in a heavy sea. MT. Bos- worth scorned a double performing az these feats himself as the camera will show.
