SULPHUR CLEARS
ROUSH. 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 lit
tle Mentho-Sulpbur, declares a not
ed skin specialist. Because of its
verm destroying properties, this sul
phur preparation begins at once to
soothe irritated skin and heal erup
tions such as rash, pimples and ring
worm.
It seldom falls to remove the tor
ment and disfigurement, and you do
not have to wait for relief from em
barrassment. Improvement quickly
shows. Sufferers from skin trouble
should obtain a email jar of Howies
Mentho - Sulphur from any good
druggist and use it like cold cream,

capital of $50,000,00 J.
The association decided to launch
a drive, which Mr. Compton wi'l
direct, against questionable selling
methods in the subscription book
business in the United StuUs and
Canada. A» the newly elected
president of the international c
ganizution, he was clothed with the
' same authority in all ethical mut
ters as that exercised by Will Hays
in the moving picture indistry, K.
M. Landis in baseball and Augustus
Thomas in theatrical affairs.
He was empowered U travel over
the United States and Canada dur
ing the present year am* make a
personal investigation of the seH
• ! ing methods of every subscription
1 [ book publishing house in the two
-I nations.
"A generation ngo,” said Mr
Compton, “the subscription bool:
field wa; the happy hunting ground
of unscrupulous publishers a”d
salesmen. Today r business fins n
higher cede jf ethics. There art
still a few firms, however, that em
ploy methods which bring discredit
on the whole industry.
“The Subscription ilojk Publish

clean house and has pi iced a large
i appropriation in my hands t.'. Se
used for this purpose. Where pub
licity and exposure fail tv induce
offending firms to reform their
methods, we will not i.esit: te to
bring legal action.”
