TT SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY. SULPHUR

lust the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin spe-
cialist This sulphur preparation, made
into pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to hery eczema
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptiohs, rash, PIN"
pies or roughness.
You do not have TO wait for improve
ment. It quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.

MOTOR CLUB
SCOUT CAR In CODY

John Graham, representing the
Chicago Motor club, spent a few
days in Cody this week gathering
data which will be used by the as
ISOLATION which he represents in
directing touring parties to the
northwest. Mr.. Graham travels
about eleven months of each year
and his work takes him to about
26 states of the United States. His
annual mileage is estimated at about
0 1000 miles, and he gathers his
road information for a club of 4S.
600 motorists. This information is
handled by a corps of craftsmen at
the head office and strip maps are
furnished to any place in the United
States.
On his trip west he came via the
Yellowstone Trail and in returning
east will seek a route farther south,
probably the Black and Yellow trail,
and when once these routes are es-
tablished the Chicago Motor club
will send thousands of tourists thru
Yellowstone park over this route
Mr.. Graham made the trip to Bill
lings via Powell, Deaver and Bird
ger canyon and returned here to
start on his eastern trip via Grey-
bull and probably across to Buff
falo.
Mr.. Graham is accompanied on
his scouting trips by his wife and
