RED SKIN Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made Smooth, Says Specialist Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Rowles Mentho-Sulphur,, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation begins at once to soothe irritated skin and heal eruptions such as rash, pimples and ring worm. It seldom fails to remove the torment and disfigurement, and you do not have to wait for relief from embarrassment. Improvement quickly shows. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar ot Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold cream.

For behold! their costumes no longer can consist of the slick-fitting one-piece suit They are garbed in the most modest bathing attire that we have seen since the long-sleeved, long-stock-inged era. Perhaps we are witnessing a revision from the “skin tights” of previous seasons, when every woman, regardless of her physical charm, displayed herself before the public in a formfitting bathing suit. Not one girl in one hundred really had good reason for wearing them and yet, regardless of the beach censors, they wore them claiming that they were the only sensible costumes for swimming. Many of them never got nearer the water than the bord-walks. Colors the Rage The beaches have never looked prettier than they do at this season with groups of women garbed in colorful batiks. Color rages rampant. The idea this year seems to b e to look as alluring as possible, rather than to dress as scantily as possible. One imagines that the beach is covered with little girls in party frocks that ar e cut short at the knees merely short-skirted women in the smartest of bathing attire. Many of

these suits are made of changeable tetfatas, with long slendor bodices and rtiffled or tiered skirts. Others are made of bandana squares with bloomers of solid color mutdhing the border 1 of the bandanda. India prints are used in the same manner. With the printed bathing costumes, bright col ored shoes and caps are used carrying out the main color in the print. Capes of cretonne and rubberized materials also add a degree of mod esty to the beach costume.' Only at the resorts which are frequented by the tenament dwellers does one see a display of figure this year. The stocking question seems to be' about equally divided this year, some women wearing half socks or no stockings whatever and others wearing long sheer stockings of tan, taupe or black. Bathing Caps Caps this year are absolutely captivating! There are those adorned with rubber trimmings, such as plumes, flowers and ribbons, which 1 are so becommlng. Then there are the tie-around turbans which are merely long strips of colored rubber which drape about the head and clasp over the brow with an Egyptian buckle or ornament. Rubber scarfs in various color effects are among the popular accessories. Gingham bathing suits made like children’s rompers are worn by the younger girls to some extent. Often there is an accompanying sunbonnet of gingham to ward off the sun’s rays. Gompers Advocates Union Os American Farmers (United Press Service) Chicago, June 20 —(Special to the Daily Democrat) —A “farmers' union,” —organized like the great labor unions of the country—is the only hope of the American farmer in his fight for a ‘square deal,’ Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed-
