Returned Missionary Says Suffering Will Be Terrible Unless People Come to the Rescue.

Salonika, Jan. I. Five hundred thousand men, women and children are starving in the Balkans. The two Balkan wars which ravaged the southeastern peninsula left the country in waste and the people penniless. Rev. Edward Haskell of the American mission, declared Friday that it is imperative that help come at once. He has written fresh appeals to Arthur Simonds, secretary to the Balkan relief commission in Bondon, to Miss K. McQueen, secretary to the Macedonian relief committee and to American church and relief organs. "The world must open its heart or an unparalledel blight of death will fail upon the Balkans," declared Rev. Mr. Haskell. "If 1 could only paint a true picture of the misery and horror from famine and cold. This has been an unusually severe winter and thousands are without adequate clothing. If only some of the American millionaires famed for their charity would heed our call the. result would be a blessing."

Ieina and Mot Other .Skin Trail Mes Yield to Jhis Simple Treatment.

For skins itching, burning and disfigured by eczema, ringworm, or other torturing skin trouble, there is immediate relief in a warm bath with Resinol Soap and a simple application of Resinol Ointment. The soothing. healing Kesinol balsams sink right into the skin, stop itching instantly, and soon clear away all trace of eruption. They do tills even in severe and stubborn castwhere other treatments have bad no effect. You n--ed never heslate to use Resinol. It is a doctor's prescription that has been used by other physicians for years in the treatment of most forms of skin affections. It contains absolutely nothing that could injure the tenderest skin. Practically every druggist sells Resinol Ointment (50c and $1, and Resinol Soap (23c). For trial free, write to Dept. r.J-R. Resinol. Baltimore, Md. Avoid so-called "substitutes' for Resinol, they are often of little use and even injurious. Advertisement.
