ROME, April 18-R-The Italian
government, seeking to stem the
rising tide of rumors about ltalys
war status, today denied that the
strategic Adriatic port of Bari had
been declared a prohibited zone.
Rumors concerning military mea-
sures and all increasingly notlceahlH
pro-German press tone had result
ed in signs of apprehension among
Italians as W e l l as speculation
aboard concerning Italy's inten-
tons.
An exchange of military commits
sions between Germany and Italy,
already joined in a military alliance,
was authoritatively announced.
The first members of the German
mission already have arrived in
Rome, where it was said their visit
was part of a general program un-

tact between the armed forces of the

Britain and France was belittled,
although there was little to indicate

What drugs cause eruptions

on the SKIN!
Drugs may cause skin eruptions
from over-doSage or from allergiC
manifestations, in other words, by.
responsiveness. In the latter case,
very small amounts of drugs will
cause the eruption.
Skin eruptions from the use of
drugs may appear very mysterious
and their real nature overlooked be,
cause the connection between the
eruption and the long-continued use
OF the drug is not considered. This
is particularly true of bromide
eruption; those who take bromides
over a long period of time to quiet
their nerves or to induce sleep,
break out with an eruption in the
form of pimples Clocks like acne).
which may appear on the face, legs
or, indeed, any part of the skin. In
trying to figure out what causes
this eruption they never think OF
the sleeping tablets.
Treatment is to stop the bromides
and to replace them by the use OF
common table salt until the eruption
disappears.
Iodides or iodine-containing drugs
may do the same thing. Many PEG
pie who are carelessly trying tc
treat themselves for thyroid dis
ease by taking iodized salt break
out with these iodide rashes.
Quinine produces a hemorrhagie
eruption under the skin.
Phenolphthalein is another drue
frequently taken habitually in the
form of candy laxatives. This pro
duces an eruption Of large, oval
red spots on the skin. The victim
may not have the slightest idea
that this eruption is connected will
his cathartic habit.
Aspirin, in people who are sensi
tive to it, produces an eruption
after even tiny doses.
Many drugs recently introduced
are so useful that we have to risl
their skin eruption. Examples art
the new drugs, sulfanilimide ant
sulfapyridine.

Cooper Seeks Funds
For Public Libraries

GREENSBORO, April 1S.-NR9C
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper of Will
mington, campaigning for the gov
ernorship in a sound truck, visited
this section of the state today and
in speeches demanded a constitu-
tional change to permit counties,
cities and towns to support public
libraries.
Its is a fine kettle of fish" said
Cooper, when the people of a city
cannot support a library with ak
funds if they so desire, simply be-
cause the supreme court has held
that libraries are not a necessary
expense"
The Wilmington mayor reiterated
his position that there is a crying
need for home rule"
He said that in Wilmington no
tax money could be spent for H.
braries but the town was support
ing it's libraries by spending money
received from county liquor stores.
