TRY SULPHUR ON
 AN ECZEMA SKIN
Costs Little and Overcomes Trouble
 Almost Over Night.

Any breaking out of the skin. even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying Mentho-Sul- phur, declares a noted skin specialist Because of its germ destroying prop critics, this sulphur preparation in- stantly brings ease from skin irrita- ton, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth.
 It seldom fails to relieve the tor- ment without delay. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold cream.-Adv.

THE PASSING SHOW

Dave Goldstein, of the Security building, will probably be sure to take his bathing suit along next time he goes to Fairfield. He couldn't get one to fit him the other day.
 The announcement that wonen's feet are getting larger must please the ladies. But, at the same time. aren't low heeled shoes more comfort able than the high heeled ones? Seems as though it would be worth the increase in size, but the contrary sex will probably disagree, as they usually do.
 In these days of liquor raids, the men who pay big fines must be think ing that a soft drink turneth away the police
 These warm days must be ticklish ones for the girl with the bare knees and fringe on her dress.
