Mar. 28: "I had a severe case of eczema on my head.

My scalp itched and burned and was full of scabs, and when I scratched that would of course pull off the scabs and left my head very sore. Tho irritation was something awful. I could not keep my hands out of my head. My hair became very dry and harsh and did not feel like there was any life in It, Tho first application of Resinol Ointment and Res-inol Soap soothed the scalp wonderfully, and after using one Jar of Resinol Ointment and three cakts of Resinol Soap my head is entirely cured I can rest peacefully and there is no more Itching. My temples were almost clean of hair and now they are covered thickly.

I must say Resinol Is simply wonderful for almost any kind of skin trouble. It does all you say and more." (Signed) Mrs. Jennie E. Wheeler, 120 Wooldrldgo Leonla, N. J.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. In tho general revenue bill reported to the senate Thursday there is an amendment Inserted at tho instance of Senator Hughes of New Jersey that will give the administration a strong weapon against Great Britain. If enforced, the president will have the means to bring that government to terms and put a stop to its policy of oppression against American commerce.

It goes even further than a mere attempt to retaliate for the blacklisting policy recently put Into effect. The 'amendment provides that whenever any country, dependency or colony prohibits the importation of any article the product of the soil or industry of the Fntted states and not injurious to health or morals, the piesiuent, within his discretion, shall have power to prohibit Importation into the Fnited States of similar articles from such offending countries. In the event the l.nlted States does not import similar articles from tht.se countries, the president may prohibit otner articles usually imported from such countries. 'lliis Is the senate's answer to the British order in council prohibiting tuts importation into England of tobacco, soaps, cosmetics arid a long list of other American products that were classified as luxuries. Senators claim that this act Is a violation of the treaties between tho I nited States und England which allow the fullest and freest measure of trade between the two countries and that It violates the most favored nations clause of these treaties.

PRESIDENT VETOES BILL MAKING ARMY APPROPRIATIONS (Continued from rape One.) selves regard as an Invidious and un-pulutable discrimination, which in effect excluded them from full member-ship in the profession to which they have devoted their lives and of which, by tho laws of their country, they are still members. So long as congress sees fit to make retired personnel a part of the army of the United States, the constitutionality of the proposed xeniptinn of such personnel from all liability under the articles of war is a matter of serious doubt, leaving the president, as it does, without any means sanctioned by statute of exercising over the personnel thus exempted the power of command vested In him by the constitution.

"Convinced as I am of the unwisdom of this provision and of its baneful effect upon the discipline of the army; doubting as I do, the power of congress wholly to exempt retired officers from the control of the president, P'hile declaring them to be a part of itie regular army of the t'nited States, I am constrained to return this bill viunout my approval." BRITISH GOVERNMENT ii III CARLISLE, England, Aug. 18. Carlisle city can make the proud boast of being the first town in England to launch a "model public-house." It has been opened, financed and run by a department of the slate. Lord d'Abernon, chairman of the liquor traffic central control board, performed the inaugural ceremony. The new saloon has bean christened the Gretna tavern.

The chief purpose in setting up these "model public houses" is to abolish alcoholism and yet not deprive the working man of his beer. Thus, beer moderation will be on sale at the Gietna, but no spirituous hrjuors will be obtainable there. Carlisle is very proud of being the city selected to pioneer this movement and already the Gretna is drawing a large clientele. Six public houses here were closed in consequence of the war and the necessity arose to find a suitable substitute. The new saloon is more than a mere bar and lounge.

The building is a fine stone structure in a prominent thoroughfare, and resembles neither the German bier hail nor the British public house. The invasion of (he neighborhood by the creation of a colossal munitions factory in ir.e neigiioornoou or vnt-lisle was the origin of the idea of a kind of workman's club saloon. The rural beer houses were too small and too local for the class of people who had come into the locality. So the control board took over several of these rural cabarets (Inns) and have made a single building of them, with kitchens, dining rooms, library and cinema shows. Community Songs Popular in Spite of Wind andWeather By way of an Introduction to "community singing" at the semi-weekly band concerts, the audience at the Wooldridge pal concert Friday night was asked to sing "Old Kentucky Home" and "Old Folks at Home" to the accompaniment of the band.

The response was not as good as it might lirive been had there not been a high wind blowing, winch made it difficult for the singers who were scattered all over tho park to keep time. "The public did not respond very enthusiastically." said Director William after the concert, "but have heard a hundred persons humming the tunes since they stopped tiinging and it shows that the public will easily catch the spirit." Mr. licsscrcr said that community singing will be repeated at the next concert Tuesday night. The eongs selected for th' occasion are "Old Black Joo" and "Home, Sweet Home," or some other familiar song. Jt Is also the Intention of ilr.
