ITCHING ECZEMA
DRIED RIGHT UP
BY THIS SULPHUR

Any breaking out OF the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying little Mentho-
Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist.
Because 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 fails to relieve the torment
and Disagreement. Sufferers from skin
trouble should get little jar of Rowles
Mentho- Sulphur from any good drug
gist and use it like a cold cream.

up to within q year or SO the
supplies Of the companies taken
from streams and lakes were good;
but with the more general use Of the
automobile, change has been
noticed. We found a great many
times during last season that
parties had camped on the shores of
lakes and streams and had left evil
dences Of pollution, which would be
borne into the lakes or streams in
case Of a freshet or heavy rainstorm.
TT is our intention during the
coming summer to make a rigid in
spection of the water sheds and
sources Of supply Of the remaining
domestic water companies. Under
the statute, a water company is
obliged to furnish safe, reasonable
and adequate facilities, and the
commission has interpreted that to
mean shall furnish to their CUSTOM
