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 a quick re- lief, even to fiercy eczema, that noth- ing has ever been found to take its place.
 Because of its germ destroying properties. it quickly subdues the itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly erup- tions, rash, pimples or roughness,
 You do not have to wait for in- provement It quickly showA You can get little jar of Mentho-Sul- phur at any drug store.

GOOD DIGESTION
An AMAZING AFRICAN RACE
Tribe Of "Fish Men" lnhabits Desert
Wastes Bordering Lake Rudolf,
In kenya Colony.

The 81 Molo, a tribe Of "fish-men"
~no inhabit the desert wastes border
Ing Lake Rudolf, in Kenya Colony,
Africa, are undoubtedly the most
smazing race of human beings. This
tribe represents the only known
specimens of semi-amphibious people,
and it is curious fact that any
tribesman dies If he Is kept from
water for about three hours. AS
rule they drink every hour during the
day, for even an hour and half
without water causes cracking and
bleeding of the lips.
The Ell Molo tribesmen spend their
days swimming in the waters Of Lake
Rudolf, and fishing from 'frail RATS
constructed of palm branches. Fish
Is almost their only diet, and they
have no opportunity Of varying their
menu unless they are fortunate enough
to spear hippopotamus.
The water of Lake Rudolf is I'M
drinkable to any .one but the Ell Molo,
for 1t contains large quantity Of
soda and has an Objectionable taste.
The proportion Of soda In the lake In
creases yearly, and It is believed to be
this fact that has caused the fish,
men" to become a deformed race.

ROYALTY OF OLD BIO EATERS
Feast at Court of King Richard II
Called for Vast Amount
of Food.

England In the Canterbury days ate
much in the French style. Spoons and
fingers were good manners and carv-
ing was new-fangled, If it was in fact
practiced to any extent at all.
Richard II and the duke of Lam
caster once dined in London with the
bishop of Durham. The king, the
duke and the bishop and their retinues
and guests called for 120 sheep, IA
sailed oxen and 2 fresh, 1,240 pigs, IL
boars, 210 geese, 720 hens, so capons
"of HE geze' and eight dozen other
capons, so swans and 100 dozen
pigeons; rabbits and curlews by the
score, II, 900 eggs, II gallons of cream
and 120 gallons of milk.
Such was a royal feast, says the De-
troit News, and every day, whether
fast day or eating day, had four meals.
Breakfast at seven, dinner at ten in
the morning, supper at four and liv-
cry at eight. The hour of dinner is
said to show the development of cook
ing in any given country. But there
were Chaucerian refnements, never
theless, aside from dishes of flowers I;
permissible foods initiating the form
of meats on fast days, even eggs be-
ing counterfeited and clever things
such as making two capons out of one
by skinning it and stuffing the skin.
There were, besides, the points Of
etiquette; a pig for lord should be
endored, his cabbage thickened with
egg, not crumbs; pike served whole
to lord, but cut for the commonalty.
And mint sauce has a pedigree reach
| ing to Edward I.

Put. out Your Tongue.

The latest science, "called glosso.
NANCY" purports to read the persons
character by the size and shape Of
the tongue. According to glossoman-
cists, those who possess short and
broad tongues are apt to be untruth-
ful. while people whose tongues are
short and narrow are sly and bad
tempered. When tire tongue is long
and broad, 1t is sign that Its owner
Is inclined to be gossip. A tongue
that is long and narrow denotes q
frank, open disposition. Girls with
small, round, plump tongues possess
trustful and affectionate dispositions;
but men with similar shaped tongues
are apt to be inconsistent. What
glossomancists term the rectangular
type Of tongue-one that is almost
square In shape--is indicative Of q
strong, virile nature. Men with these
shaped tongues are ambitious, active,
and likely to get on in the world.

Not only Winchester, but the entire

burning OF Memorial Hospital last
Friday evening.
the fire is thought to have started
in the attic of the building from an
electric switch and followed two pieces
of studding in the center of whioli eX-
tended water pipe and this space
acted as flue up which the flames ate
their way making their appearance
first in room on the ground floor,
where the fire was discovered by Miss
Mcmillan Superintendent of the Hos
pital. That no lives were lost and not
even patientinjured in the haste of
carrying helpless ones out of the smoke
filled buildings is regarded as little less
than miraculous.
A nurse was assigned to each case,
and they adapted themselves to new
conditions and proved themselves real
heroes.
Among the nurses was Miss Stella
Hcpper, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
B. Hepner of Woodstock.
The fire spread rapidly despite the
heroic efforts of the Fire Companies,
who at first tried chemicals, but on &C.
count of the nature of the fire, water
had to be used and the lower floors
and basement were soon filled with
water several feet deep.
Nurses, citizens and firemen worked
bravely and quickly in removing the
patients, who were temporarily taken
to nearby homes, and later to the Elks
Home which was offered to the Trus
tees of the Hospital and was accepted,
