IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR Just the moment you apply MenthoSulphnr to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted . skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery ectema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ-destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles MenthoSulphur at any d-ug store.

The four time champions are getting better spring pitching now than they have in years, with Jack Scott and Jack Bentley working along with the best in the league. The Giants have everything else, it seems, and with just ordinary pitcihng they look like the class of the league. John A.
