APPLY c''.PHUR ON

Costs Little and OvercOmeS
Trouble Almost Over Night.

Any breaking out of the skin. even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcom by applying Mentho-Sul-
nhur. declares a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying proper
ties, 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

skin trouble should obtain a small jar
of Mentho-Sulphur from any good
druggist and use it like cold cream

577S2. The death rate from tuber.
culosls is 1870 higher in the South
than in the Nation as a whole. One
reason for the exceedingly high death
rate in the South Is the great preva-
lence Of the plague among the negroes
who are especially susceptible to tuber.
culosis, the death rate among them
being three and one-half times that
among the whites. But inasmuch as
the negroes will doubtless continue to
be intimately associated with the
whites In domestic and other work in
the future, the whites will never be
safe from infection until the negroes,
as we'll as the whites, have been freed
from the plague.
It has been estimated that the to.

carrying on an educational work that
seeks to inform the public at large
through the printed page, as to the
danger Of tuberculosis, how 1t can be
avoided and how, once It is con.

through proper sanitary measures at

Of workers inside the sanatoriurn and
occupational and vocational work for

is widely disseminating literature on
how to combat tuberculosis. An en-.

for the institution will make possible
much larger circulation Of literature
and will also enable the institution to
take care of INDECENT patients.

WORD FROM WASHINGTON
Unity of Action

Washington, Feb. 1.-(Special cor
respondence)-Att the meeting of the
National Merchant Association in
Washington Senator Wesley L. Jones
of the state of Washington, Chair
man of the Commerce Committee of
the Senate, delivered an address on
our merchant marine that should be
read by every American who has the
best interests of his country at heart.
Senator Jones shows that, in addition
to the business and commercial diff
culties against which American ship
ping has to contend, insidious foreign
interests are at work, neglecting moth
ing that will obstruct the growth of
our foreign trade. He read an agree
ment entered into in 1908 between the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany and the British Government
which, in effect, provided that the COM
pany would do nothing injurious to
the British mercantile marine or to
British trade. The company operates
a large number of its own ships, and
about 40 vessels it has leased from the
Shipping Board. "We need the same
unity Of action and. purpose now that
errd US in the conduct of the war"
-.c.-ged Senator Jones. "The task to
do now is more difficult than the task
of winning the war and requires equal,
if not higher, patriotism" Send to

Ex.Marines Get Victory Medals

Victory medals in commemoration
of the World War are being issued
to all Ex-Marines located in the Dis
trict of Colorado by Captain C. C..
Gill, Officer in Charge of Recruiting
for this District with Headquarters at
1905 Larimer street, Denver, Colo.
The supply furnished the Denver of
flee has been materially decreased and
it is the wish of the. officer in charge
to see that all men in this district
who are entitled to them shall obtain
same as soon as possible.
The Victory Medals complete with
the clasps, stars, ribbons and insignia
are ready for distribution, and all
that is necessary to get them is to
call in person at the above office, or
forward your discharge so an endorse
ment can be placed thereon, and the
medals with proper clasps, etc, will
be sent by mail.
Captain Gill says that all men who
have not as yet received their medals
should get them as soon as possible
for when the local supply is exhaust
ed, it will probably be necessary to OBJ
tain them from Washington, thereby
greater delay.

$4,000 for Hig Cholera

Congressman Moses P. Kinkaid of
Nebraska was influential in securing
an increase of $4,000 in the Agricul-
tural Appropriation Bill over the
amount allotted in the measure for
the current year for the suppression
of hog cholera. As passed by the
House the bill appropriated $4,000
for that work, and 1t is estimated by
the Agriculture Committee that the
force of veterinarians now in the field
can be doubled with the increased
funds at the disposal of the Depart
ment. Mr.. Kinkaid quoted statistics
from the Department to show the ef-
fective work being done by the Fed
eral agents in stamping out the dis
ease. II am sure" said he, "the in
creased service Of veterinarians will
reslt in saving thousands of dollars

They Never Learn

ITO send our raw materials to
Europe in order that they may revive
PROSTATE industries and to accept or
facilitate European exports is the only
sound and practical way of rebuilding
foreign trade and giving employment
to our idle ships."-New York Joprnal
Of Commerce, a free trade organ, ed
itoralizing in 1921.
"If trade was free, the goods man.
ufactured in this country would be i'm
ported from England and paid for in
our cotton, but in cutting off the i'm
ports, you, of course, to the same ex-
tent dimish our exports. Senator
Hayne, of South Carolina, 1880.
Following the tariff debate in which
Hayne partook came the tariff of
1892; following that came the Clay
compromise of 1898; following that
came the panic of 1887. Says Curtiss,
in his industrial Development of Ma
tions," referring to this period: "This
vast surplus of goods must be dis
posed of at once, as they came in.
They could not be held. They must
be gotten out of the way to make
room for more to follow. A spirit Of
speculation and overtrading naturally
ensued. This cause, if none other ex-
listed, would account for the disrup-
ton Of business Of the country. Its
. secondary effect was the displacement
of vast quantity Of American-made
goods, checking or closing the opera
ton of mills, throwing labor out OF
employment and undermining domestic
industry by taking away the market"
The Journal of Commerce wants to
repeat the experiment. The Republi-
cans do not. Chairman Fordney said
he had rather write off Europe's
debts to US than to have them paid
in goods at rate which would para
lyze American industry. and he was
right.
