SULPHUR IS BEST TO
CLEAR UP UGLY Skin
Irritation and Breaking Out
Often Healed Over Night,
Says Skin Specialist.

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sul-

Because of it's germ destroying prop
critics, nothing has ever been found
to take the place of this sulphur
preparation that instantly brings ease
from the itching, burning and irrita-

of Sulphur may be obtained
at any drug store. 1t is used like cold
cream.-Advertisem

a monthly customer charge of 75c per
meter will be made, effective with the
January, 1921, gas bills. These bills
will be due for payment February LIST

in HOUSE HOPPER

House members put another dent in
the highway program today when
they sent a federal aid resolution to
the roads and highways committee.
The vote was 60 to 43 to defer action
and to give the committee a chance to
look over the proposal.
e Lambertson of Brown, who led the
fight last week to declare against state
aid at this session, Joined in support of
Jones of Lyon, who wanted immediate
action on the resolution asking con-
gress for federal aid. Lambertson
said congress was certain to appropri-
ate money for roads. He said the
present resolution would help rather
than hinder the state and would not
bind Kansas to state aid in carrying
out any highway project.
Martin of Reno Joined in the fight
on the resolution, as did Garvin of
Stafford. They told the house they
were voting blindly on a proposition
they did not understand.
Lets trust our senators and repre-
sentatives in Washington to look after
this matter" said Martin. Let con-
gress attend to its own business. We
will have all we can do this winter
looking after our own affairs
On a rising vote. the house fol-
lowed Martins suggestion and voted
to send the resolution to the COM
mittee.
Cellar of Coffey offered a bill pro-
viding for use of public funds for
military training for representative
young men from each of the los coun-
ties in Kansas. His bill proposed
creation of a board of visitation to in
spect all military schools in the state,
Boards of county commissioners
would Be called upon under the bill
to provide tuition for one young man
from each county to attend a desig-
mated military school. A fund of $500
a year would be provided for this ex-
pense. The young man who repre-
sented his county would be selected
by competitive examination.
