ITCHING ECZEMA
DRIED right UP
With SULPHUR

Any breaking out Of the skin,
even fiery, itching eczema, can be
quickly overcome by applying lit
tie Mentho-Sulphur, says a noted
skin specialist. Because of its germ
destroying properties, this sulphur
preparation instantly brings ease
from skin irritation, soothes and
heals the eczema right up and
leaves the skin clear and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the tor
ment and Disagreement. Sufferers
from skin trouble should get lit
tie jar Of Mentho-Sulphur from any
good druggist and use it like a cold
cream.

their Inability to secure. from the
railroads sufficient cars for the move.
nent Of their stock. Shipments I'd the
markets this week have been hamper
ed materially at all the shipping
points in Knox county by an inability
to secure cars. The railroads are
operating with so few crews that they
are unable to handle what business
is rendered them. The livestock men
particularly have been growing rest
i've because of their liability to loss.
The statement was made today by
Director Hammond that no fears are
entertained that the stockyards at
the markets will be unable to handle
stock because OF the supposed immi.
nence Of a packers strike. The real
trouble and cause for concern lies in
an inability to secure cars. This is
attributed to the policy seemingly in
effect among railroad managers to
force wage reductions by laying off
train crews and other employees. The
policy has been followed to the de.
gree that the railroads are unable to
handle the business that is offered
them, as the complaints of the live
stock shippers indicate.

MORE STATE PARKS

One by one the states are awaken
ing to the desirability of preserving
their points of natural beauty and in
terest A bill recently introduced In
the Illinois legilature will create a
state system of parks and preserves,
linked up by state and national high
ways. TN
There is no state in the Union
which is without many points Of seen
ic and historic interest, forests or
haunts of wild life which, II not pro-
tected soon, will fall before the ruth
less progress of commercialism. Who
is there OF mature years today who
cannot recall such places destroyed
during his lifetime because sufficient
interest, backed by sufficient funds,
was lacking to preserve them?
Americans had to work so hard In
the early days to make living, and
so much of that living had to be
wrested by force from the wilderness
that it is not surprising that the pres
ervation OF the wilderness for play
grounds failed OF appreciation.
Much has been lost that never car
