New Way Eczema
Goes in 48 Hours

Many people who suffer from itching
ointments and some Of them are very
good.
The one way, however, and the new
way to get rid Of Eczema in 4s hours or
less, is to use kojene, the most power
full, non poisonous, non alcoholic anti.
septic known.
It's liquid, and six-ounce bottle
costs but so cents at Peoples Drug
Stores or any progressive druggist, and
if it doesn't end your eczema in 4s
hours-money gladly returned. Direc-
tions on each bottle.
It's equally good for boiis, carbuncies,
ulcers, skin infections, plmpIes and
salt rhcum.-Advertisemc

IN JUNIOR
HIGH ROW
Swords Are Sheathed as
Change in Building
Plans Agreed On.

Members of the school board and
city building officials shcathed Their
swords after stormy session at the
city hall. late Monday.
And as result, the plans for the
new South Side Junior High School
VIII be changed to comply with pro-
visions of the city's building code.
The two factions crossed blades re-
Gently when City Building Inspector
Gus Niggli denied the school board
permit to erect the new institution at
the corner of Berkshire and Yorkshire
avenues. according to plans drawn by
architects and approved by the board
of education.
The plans called for the auditorium
on the second floor, with cafeteria
and kitchen underneath.
Fire and Police Commissioner Phil
Wright backed Mr.. Niggli in his stand
that this was in violation of the build
ing rules and presented a fire haz-
ard.
School authorities agreed to leave
the matter up to the city attorneys
office.
After several communications with
State Fire Marshal Timmins, the at.
torneys ruled it was for the building
officials to decide what kind of struc-
ture the school was to be.
The fire marshal stated, however,
that he recommended all school audi
forums be on the ground floor with |
no Easements beneath.

Mr.. Ford's purpose in the step was

developed before the commission by
holders Of very small minority in

At that time, the Ford interests pre-
scented to the commission a plan for
