WHEN SKIN IS
BROKEN OUT
USE SULPHUR

Just 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 a pleasant cold cream, gives
such a quick relief, even to fiery ecze-
ma. that nothing has ever been found
to take its place.
Because of its gcrm-destroying prop
critics. it quickly subdues the itching.
cools the irritation and heals the ecze-
ma right up, leaving clear. smooth
skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash,
pimples or roughness.
You do not have TO wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You
can get little jar of Rowles Mentho-
Sulphur at any drug store.

COTTON PLANTERS
 WATCH FOR PEST
Caterpillar Cirtailed Output Of
 Last Year
lTennessee Yalley Bureaul

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Aug. 16.-- Especial. )--Cotton planters in Madison county are being urged to report iIn- mediately to the farm bureau if they find any traces of the dreaded cot ton caterpiller in their fields. This insect more than the boil weevils, is curtailed production of cotton in this region last year. The worm has been reported in Marshall county in fields near Guntersville and it is anticipated that it will be only short time be- fore the propagating butterfly or moth is blown across the Tennessee river into this section. Previous to the Guntersville report 1t is claimed that the casterpilIef had not been seen any where in Alabama this season north of Auburn. There is little fear that much damage can be done by the worm coming at this late date in the cot ton season because cotton is much further advanced that 1t was when the infestation occurred last season and there is plenty of calcium arsenate available this year for the war of ex- termination if such becomes necessary.
 Second Ticket Named Municipal politics are still further enIivened by the appearance of second ticket con- taining names of candidates for all the offices to be filled in the September election.
