Use Sulphur To
Heal Your Skin
Broken Out skin and itching Eczema
Helped over Night.

For unsightly skin eruptions, rash
or blotches on face, neck, arms or
body, you do not have to wait for re-
lief from torture or embarrassment,
declares a noted specialist. Apply a
little Mentho Sulphur and improve
ment shows next day.
Because of its germ destroying pro
perties, nothing has ever been found
to take the place of this sulphur pre-
Iaration. The moment you apply it
healing begins. Only those who have
had unsightly skin troubles can know
the delight this Mentho Sulphur
brings. Even fiery itching eczema is
dried up right.
Get a small jar Of Rowles Mentho-
Sulphur from any good druggist and
use it like cold cream.-Adv.

BONES ARE FOUND
 IN QUEST FOR RUM

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Aug. 2S.-J. R. Jackson of Mcintosh county, is in the Glynn county jail for safekeeping, while authorities of Mcintosh are investigat- ing the finding of human bones buried in his yard.

WARDEN BLAMED FOR REMLJS YARN AGAINST STERNS Bootleg King Sought The Privilege Of Testimony,
 He Says STONE ADVISED

 Exhibited Smith
 Checks
tBy Leased Wire to The Age.HeraId)

NDy AAC<4SoU WUo tO AHe kASO'Ahch dAuJ
 WASHINGTON, August 28. Senator Burton K. Wheeler tonight charged that an al- legged statement of George Remus, millionaire Cincinnati bootlegger, that he perjured himself before the Brookhart committee, had been forced" from him by the warden of the federal penitentiary at At lanta.
 q have just learned that Remus has made an affidavit that Henry Sterns, an attor- .ney, not employed by the com mittee, but who did assist in our work, had tried to get him CRemus) to testify falsely against Harry M. Daugherty, !" Wheeler said in a formal statement.
 Thinks Statement Forced
 '9This statement, in my judgment, is false and forced from Remus by the present warden of the penitentiary who is close personal and political friend and an appointee of Daugherty from Ohio. 3
 George Remus wired to the com mittee on more than one occasion ask ing that. he De called here and lie told mar f his story of hssp he gave money NO Jesse Smith. Mrs 1fenstis produced schecks which she told Senator Brook hart in my presence and in the pres ence of her attorney, were cRshed and the proceeds paid to Smith and to other go-betweens for republican officials in Ohio, Washington and New York"
 Wheeler said that Mrs. Remus was willing to testify to the names of the corrupt officials, providing she was given immunity by the administration.
 'The present administration seemed much more anxious to prosecute this woman than to prosecute crooked re- publican office holders and politicians. It should be comparatively easy for warden of a penitentiAry to get state ments from his inmates" Wheeler added.
 The lndependent candluaIe TOT wee president said members of the Brook hart committee had advised Attorney General Stone to ''get rid" of the At lanta warden, because of the 'close al- liance between him and Daugherty and the sale of narcotics" there.
 Wheeler closed his statement with criticism of administration inaction, saying that thus far neither Mir. Cool idge nor his subordinates have done anything, to my knowledge. Mir. Cool idge is waiting until an aroused pub lie conscience, again demands action."
