Cancelling Of Trip Of
Chalmers Explained

LONDON, Feb. - Negotiations
relative to the adjustment of Great
Britain's debt to the United States
are in the hands of Sir Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador IN Wash
ington, and the proposed trip to
America of Lord Chalmers, rerma-
nent secretary of the British treas
ury, was merely to facilitate the con-
versations
This explanation was given here
yesterday for the postponement of
Lord Chalmers visit to the United
States during the absence of Am
bassador Geddes. 1t was declared
that it would be illogical to suppose
that he was in position to offer any
propoals relative to the negotiations,
since the government had deemed it
desirable for him to remain here I'M
til the return of Ambassador Geddes
to Washington.

THREADBAREAT
IS, HEART SOFT
Superannuated Preacher
With Meaoer Income,
Aids Starving

ATLANTA, Feb. 4.-From a man
who has never known anything but
sacrifice in monetary sense has
come a second contribution to the
fund for the relief of the starving
children of Europe.
He is a superannuated Methodist
preacher, wearing threadbare clothes,
struggling to pay drug bills, unable
to do any work to supplement his
meager income. All of his produc-
tive years were spent in a service
for which he was paid the bare bones
of living. Now in Old age he d.
vides his crust, so to speak, with the
children across the sea who have less
than he. Here was his letter &C.
companying his second contribution /:
"Being a superannuated Methodist
peracher, seventy-fve years old,
wearing threadbare suit, broken
in health and hence have had to quit
all effort to add to my resources,
and with constant drug bills, sent
you recently only two dollars for the
starving and destitute over yonder.
Looking at the picture of the
girl in your yesterdays advertise
ment, I felt that since four of my
six daughters have thrifty husbands
to provide for them, and the others
have good positions, ought as
a thank offering to risk some more,
so I enclose another check for three
dollars"
And alongside of this magnificent
contribution on the honor roll is the
following from Confederate vet
Grams wife:
"Please secept with Gods bless
ing this dollar as small contribu-
ton to the poor little starving chill
dren in Europe. 1t is small, but l
am an old veterans wife and only
have what is given me. I wish I
could send you one hundred dollars.
God bless the cause"
These are the sort of contribu-
tons that make up the bulk of Geor-
gia's fund to date.

l ever felt in my life and l only wish

tell every sick person about this
grand medicine.
"A year ago last January l had a
severe attack of influenza which left
me in a terribly weakened condition
and my appetite was so poor that
ate little more than enough to keep
body and soul together.
MY heart palpitated so DIR 1ldfully
at times that it seemed like it had
stopped altogether and l would think
my time had come. l was SO weak
that l couldn't go up the steps Nth

drink my tea or coffee without spill
ing it.
my sleep was restless and broken
and | would have smothering spells
and would just have to get up and ga
II the window so l could breathe.
Il finally started taking Tanlac on
the advice of friend and before
had finished taking the second bottle
my neighbors could tell | was i'm
proving right along. Well, it has
only taken five bottles to restore my
health cornnletely.
My appetite is just splendid now,
my nerves are strong and steady, my
housework is a real pleasure, and !
can sleep like child at night. In
fact, never felt better in my life
than l do now"
The above remarkable statement
was made by Mrs. Sylvia Foster, of
20G S. Division St., Buffalo, N. Y, a
well-known and highly respected
resident of that city.

IF 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 a
noted skin specialist. This sulphur
preparation, made into a pleasant
cold cream, gives such quick re-
lief, even to fiery eczema, that moth
ing has ever been found to take its
place.
Because of its germ destroying pro-
perties, it quickly subdues the itch
ing, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
tons, rash, pimples or roughness.
= You do not have to wait for i'm
provement 1t quickly shows. You
can get a little jar of Mentho-Sul-
phur at any drug store.
