You can get some little relief for
the time being by rubbing or

you would not expect to be cured
in this way. Neither should you
expect a cure from local appliea-

remedies applied to the skin. for
the simple reason that a cure must
come from the source Of the trou-

You must locate the headquar-

was the gist OF a report made by

man Of the Patriotic Education ard
Americanization Committee. or
this amount $4,000 was contributed
to Americanization work, irrespec-
tive Of the Immigrants Manual and
the Southern Mountain Schools and
other scholarship, while $4,000 was
disbursed for purely patriotic educa-
tional purposes.
There Is no question in my mind
that there are numerous radical
agencies busily at work in this coun-
try said c. s. McGown, of the In
ternational College, Springfield,
Mass. The activities Of these agen-
cies can only be combatted by ed
