Try Sulphur On
An Eczema Skin
Costs Little and oVereomes Trouble
Almost Over Night.

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
declares a noted skin specialist. Be-
cause of its germ destroying proper
ties, this sulphur preparation instantly
brings ease from skin irritation,
soothes and heals the eczema right up
and leaves the skin clear and smooth.
1t seldom failes to relieve the tor

of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any
good druggist and use it like cold

F. f. SCOBEY QUITS
AS MINT DIRECTOR
First Break in Official Family
of Late President Effec-
tive Shortly.

The first break in the official family
which the late President Harding
gathered about him, and which has
continued to serve under President
Coolidge, has taken place, it was
learned today, with the resignation
of Director Frank E. Scobey of the
mint.
Although no official announcement
was forthcoming. either from the
White House or the Treasury, 1t was
authoritatively learned that Mr..
Scobey, upon his visit to the White
nation. the effective date of which is
understood to be somewhat con-
tingent upon Mr.. Coolidge's selection
of successor.
VIII Not Discuss Report.
Mr.. Scobey, when asked about his
resignation. declined to discuss the
matter, referring all inquiries to the
White House and President Coolidge.
The resignation of Mr.. Scobey was
not entirely unexpected, as it had
been understood that he had intended
leaving the federal service. Especially
since the death of President Harding
had 1t been known in circles close to
the director of the mint that he con-
templated resignation, feeling that
having served his longtime friend,
Mr.. Harding. he had completed his
duty, and wished to return to private
life.
In the departure of Mr. ScobeN one
of the closest friends of the late
President drops from the official
family of President Coolidge.
For many years Mr.. Scobey and
Warren G. Harding had been friends,
their connection reaching back many
years into Ohio. when both were in
terested in politics and served the
state in various positions of public
trust.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harding and Mr.
anu Mrs. Scobey formed close
friendship, which frequently took
them on trips together, not only in
the United States, but in Europe.
Mr.. Scobey's home is in San An
tonic, Tex, where he has extensive
interests. He went to Texas from
Ohio many years ago, and has been
active in republican affairs through
out the Lone Star state.

Warren T. McCray called a meeting

confirmed reports that recently have
become widespread to the effect that
he was financially embarrassed.
The governor it is understood, will
ask his creditors to enter into an
agreement whereby he will be given

tee who will operate them for the
benefit of his creditors is contem-
plated as a part of the agreement.
Cause of LOSSES.
Friends of the governor declare that
his financial Embarrassment has been
brought about by the lowering price
of farm lands and the low cattle mar
ket. Given time he will be able to
avoid the losses which now confront
him, they declare.
Coincident with the announcement
of the call for a meeting of the gov
ernor's creditors came confirmat ton
of the report that he had resigned as
president of the Discount and Deposit

William Darrach of Kentland. Re-
ports OF state bank examiners show

retirement as president of the Kent
land bank further than to say that
his resignation has been in the hands
of the directors for some time.
