IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY 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
quick relief, even to fiery 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 clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pinl-
pies or roughness.
You do not have to wait for improve
ment. 1t quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.

EVIL WAR VETERANS
DYING $500 MONTHLY
|suPvIVORS OF UNION FORCES
prACED AT 1856. CONFED-
CRATES AT 10000.

tn. survivors of the Union army are
a,.;og at a rate of $500 per month.
That means that somewhere every
a.y bugle sounds Taps" over near
!, 100 old timers who fought in the

,on+ative of the Baltimore Sun.
1856 on Roll June 80.
When the past fiscal year ended on
lime 80 the records of the United
Coates Bureau of Pensions revealed
.hot I26.566 veterans of the G.. A. R.
'' ,~ ON the pension rolls of generous
rovernment That number presum-
En- represents every Union survivor
a. the civil war. Since the passage
~ the Sherwood pension act of May,
|Io70 allowing a maximum pension of
90 per month to such veterans al
most every survivor has come in on the
government records.
officials of the pension bureau say
that this figure, 126566, represents as
nearly as could be ascertained the
muster roll. Since June 80 probably
5000 have died.
10000 to 100000 Confederates.
In Washington there are no official
fgures showing the number of sur
,yors of the Confederate armies. New
srtheless federal officials think they
will run in about the same proportion,
tsking into consideration that when
the civil war ended Ulysses S. Grant
had larger forces in the field than did
Robert E. Lee. Maybe there are co.
d0O or 100000 Confederates left.
OF the approximately 10000 vet
Grams on the federal pension rolls on
lime 80 more than $4,000 were draw
mo the maximum allowance under the
Sherwood law. That payment in each
case told the story that the veteran
was too old and enfeebled to take care
Al himself and that some one elsa
nurse. a friend or a relative-had to
assist him day in and day out.
Doubtless the same story, if it could
he gathered in Washington, would APP
oly to the veterans of the Confederate
armies who depend in their old age
upon state pension laws.
The average age of the survivors OF
the armies of Grant today is 80 years.
When death cuts into list of no.
O00 at the rate of $500 per month it
cannot long last And when men reach
IAN average age of SO" they cannot
long last, either.
South Invites Union Veterans.
Grand Rapids reports say that at
the close of the Grand Army of the
Republic reunion there a letter was
read from Atlanta urging that the sur
vvors of the Union armies come to
-be heart of the Confederacy" and
the scene of the famous battle of At
lanta for their next meeting. The open
arms of the south were to be out
stretched to receive its foes of two
generations back. The Atlanta invita-
ion was met by the throaty cheers
of 1000 or 50 men "of average age OF
g." Des Moines, however, is to be
the next meeting place.
Next year about this time the IT, A.
R. will go to Des MONIES. But each
month from now until then about 2
800 of the union survivors OF a civil
strife of more than four years will re-
spond to the bugle call of the Great
Commander and maybe not even Z,OoU
will be able to go to Des Moines.
