TANKS IN FIELD FOR BUSINESS
 IN FAR EAST

Manila, P. That American firms are on the alert for business in the Far East was demonstrated by the receipt of letters here from cloth ing manufacturers of the United States, offering to furnish trousers in any quantity or grade of material for the male population of the Philippine Islands.
 These offers grew out of the pub Hcation in the United States of the provisions of a bill introduced in the legislature early in December by Senator Lope K Santos, requiring the non-Christian tribes of Northern Iuon and of the island of Mindanao to wear more clothing. The bill has never been reported on by commit tee and leaders of the senate say it probably will not be revived during the present session.
 One large manufacturer of clothing in Chicago, wrote to Santos:
 'HT1he writer was interested to note the enclosed clipping from Chicago newspaper. As one of the largest clothing speciality manufacturers in this country, we are in a position to supply trousers in most any grade of material at prices that will prove at tractive.
 eff at any time your government wishes bids, we ask to have the priv ilege of submitting our prices and samples"
 |. A large clothing firm of Brooklyn. N r., wrote to Senator Santos in a similar vein.

 On July IT, 1915, he asked her to come to Ardmore. ''If you will love me just a little you will know better what I want,'' he wrote. For, pet, want you fat and strong and youl health to be perfect So darling be careful of yourself and don't hur- yourself with study.''

IF SKIN BREAKS

Just the moment you apply Mem tho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of it's germ destroying pro- perties, it quickly subdueS the itching, coolS the irritation and heals the ecze- ma right up, leaving q clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimpleS or roughneSS-

 Made Remedy.

Mrs. B. H. Boots, a well-known resident of Buchanan County, la, who darkened her gray hair, made the following statement;
 ssAny lady or gentleman can darken ! their gray orSfaded hair, and make it soft and glossy with this simple remedy, which they can mix at home. To half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, one small box of Barbo Compound and A ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can. be purchased at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair every other day until the gray hair is darkened suffi- cient1y. It does not color the scalp, is not greasy and does not rub off. It will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger.''-Adv.

spectively.
The judge pointed cut that neither
of the defendants used the stolen
money in speculation and that the
bank had been reimbursed by them
for its loss. He criticized the bank
officials, however, for attempting to
conceal the defalcations by permit
ting the defendants to make restitu-
