 towing to Che great distance AL asia is from Washington and Che dif- dculty Of transporting mail during a portion of tho year. situations win undoubtedly arise where thc inter csts Of justice require @ stay of exc cution until Che win of Che Prosi- dent can bo asoortained and where it would bc humane net for Che Coy ernor Go grant a stay or rcpriove until ho President shall have had am op- rormiy Co consider the case from Che standpoint of executive elem cncy .and his not only on capital cascs. but as regards lesser offonses also.

The First Application Makes Skin

If you are suffering from eczema or

of its germ destroying properties,
never fails to quickly subdue itch
ing. even of fiery eczema. The first
application makes the skin cool and
comfortable. Rash and blotches are
healed right up. MenthoSulphur is
applied like any pleasant cold cream
and is perfectly harmless. iou can
