Resinol Cured Eczema in Its Worst Form Feb. 1914: “I had eczema in the worst form all over my face, It started with a rash like hives, and itched and burned so that I could not keep my hands off of it. I could hardly sleep. The more I rubbed it the worse it itched, and the more it spread. Blisters formed, and when opened had pus in them. I looked terrible, 1 would not let myself be seen. This last- ed for about three months, and dur- ing that time I tried prescriptions, cold creams, camphor, ete, But it still kept getting worse, until at last I tried Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap. THE FIRST APPLI- CATION RELIEVED THE ITCH- ING AND BURNING. I purchased a jar of Resinol Ointment and a cake of Resinol Soap, and by the time they were gone my face was entirely well—my skin is as smooth and clear as ever.” (Signed) Mrs. Phebe Cole, 1009 N.

ARE GIVEN TERRIBLE SHOCK The Potlatch spirit was carried to the observation platform of the Smith butiding yesterday afternoon, when a group of mischiev- ous merrymakers congregated and launched paper twirlers in the wind For a time the air was full of what looked like long, thin snakes of all colors—green, yellow, orange and blue—twisting and writhing in all sorts of horrid shapes. Stew bums on Washington st. looked up, saw the horrible mon- sters descending on them and fled for the nearest bar. Dignified gentlemen along Yesler way and Main st. found them- selves hopelessly eutangled in the meshes of the things, and kicked desperately for half a block before they could lberate themselves, Small boys fought for the chance to seize the ribbons as they descended, and more than one street car was forced to walt several minutes while the urchins struggled on the tracks. It was a lot of fun both for the folks down below and the patrons of the observatory. STAR WANT ADS BRING RESULTS Potlatch Visitors If you have tried it,. you already appreciate it.
