We take the position that the working man is entitled to service and we have con fidence in his ability and intentions to makc«3 a satisfactory customer. “A little later on we expect to bring Miss Caring, an expert dieti cian. her* to give demonstrations of cooking the Indies of Augusta and we are going to show them what can be accomplished with the gas stove.

SKIN Use like cold cream to instant ly stop itching and clear the skin. Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol ogist, just common bold-sulphur made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is ap plied all itching ceases and after two or three applications the Eczema dis appears, leaving the skin clear and smooth. He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold cream. For many years common bold-sul phur has occupied a secure position in the practice of dermatology and cuta neous affections by reason of its par asite-destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also antipruritic antiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and inflammatory condi tions of the skin. While not always affecting a permanent cure it never fails to instantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again ap pears on the skin.
