SULPHUR IS BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho- Sulphur,
says a noted skin specialist Because
of its germ destroying properties, moth
ing has ever been found to take the,
place of this sulphur preparation that
instantly brings ease from the itching,
burning and irritation.
Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right
up, leaving the skin clear and smooth

Rowles Mentho-Sulphur may be OBJ
tanned at any drug store 1t is used

PEAK FRIGHTENED. ONLY
ACTIVE CRATER IN u. S.

REDDING. CAL Lassen Peak,
Americas only active volcano, spoke
in a deep, rumbling voice and exuded
great smoke clouds just before dark
last evening and today further word
of the awakened crater was awaited
with some anxiety.
AS dusk settled over the valley be-
low it the peak began breathing out
the smoke in intermittent gusts, as
if aided by powerful bellows. From
a distance it was seen that a smoke
line had been formed extending south
ward for about twenty miles.
There were unconhrmed reports
here during the night that shower OF
hot rocks had been thrown down the
sides of Lassen Peak and scattered
about its base. 1t was feared early to-
day, assuming the reports to be true,
that the safety Of several settlements
was threatened The rumbling noises
inside the crater were described as
the loudest since the volcano broke a
silence of centuries and erupted on
Decoration day, 1914.
