CTS from walking the decayed blanks and timbers. The commissions de- cision to post the place against tres passers was taken as an indication that the comparatively new docks are fast going to ruin, and the city does not wish to assume any responsibility for loss of life or injury which might re- suit to persons seeking fishing or bath ing points.
 Persons who have viewed the docks the past few months are of the opinion only the foundation will be evidence when time comes to pay off the bonds which were sold for funds with which to construct the port facilities.
 Precautionary steps to prevent loss of life and injuries were taken after the city had been made defendant in a suit. A negro was drowned at the pier some time ago.

Conplexionb nbetter than ever before Embarrassing eruption had
 resisted many treatments

Milwaukee, Wis, May 12:-"A year ago l had a very ugly and em- barrassing itching rash on my chin. l tried so many different treatments on 1t which did little good, that finally I became discouraged. The druggist one day recommended Resinol Soap and 1 decided to try it and after using it less than one week, the itching and burning ceased, I thought if the soap alone could bring such relief, then the Resinol Ointment must certainly clear away the trouble entirely. After applying it for three nights, you can imagine how delighted I was to find the rash all gone, with not even a trace of redness left.
 I now keep Resinol Ointment within reach at all times - would not be without it. I find it very economical to use, as a little goes long way. I have used Resinol Soap daily and will continue to do so. My complexion today is better than ever before, has a healthful glow and, in fact, is all that it should be-thanks to your wonder full Resinof Soap and Ointment" (Signed) Mrs. J..
