F SKIN BREAKS
 OUT AND ITCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho Sulphur to an Itching, burn ing or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins. says q noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into pleasant cold cream. gives such quick re- lief, even to fiery eczema that noth- ing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of It's germ destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up. leaving a clear, smooth skin In place of ugly erup- tons. rash, pimples or roughness.
 You do not have to wait for inn provement. It quickly shows. You can get little jar of Mentho-Sul- phur at any drug store.--Adv.

Housing Shortage Solved

Ever since the war We have listen
ed to STOKES of how the cooperative

for their members, including the mod
Ell cooperative village erected by the
Swiss cooperators near Basic. The
success of these undertakings has fin
ally led American cooperative soeie-
ties TO undertake cooperative home
building as a means of salvation from
the rent hog and the homeless city.
Many western societies already oper-
ate cooperative lumber yards. some OF
them on very large scale, such as

simply capatalistic undertakings un-

This means that the worker who is
paid 81 a day for instance, spends 40

II food costs are lowered 20 per cent
ne saves one.fifth of this $3.50. or Sc

IS a pretext by employers to reduce

The worker now finds he is paid
$3.50 day. with the few pennies that

see that the worker is worse off than

Summing up the general labor sit
uation for the Twin Cities for the
Spring season little or no discourage
ment should be felt. Workmen are
about as busily employed as usual,
some of whom have taken employ
ment outside their chosen trades, and
many have been enabled to secure for
themselves employment better to
their liking both from the standpoint
of conditions and endorsement, so
that the strike and lockout of the en-
ployers has been a real benefit to
some of the crafts. There win result
of course the usual number of new con-
tractors and business interests that
are the outgrowth of tyranny of EN-
ployers, such as the. cooperative cleo
trio workers, who have been given per-
mission from their national organic
alton to open a cooperative branch in
the Twin Cities. The printers are al
ready planning to open an up-to-date
printery and TO give the patrons of
their handicraft advantage of the live
and-let-liye policy of their union.

ships can be easily built, but an Am

The seamen and marine engineers
offered t. submit the issue to President
Harding. and agreed to abide by his de-
