QUICKLY SOOTHED
WITH SULPHUR
Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant
cream, will soothe and heal skin
that is irritated or broken out
with eczema; that Is covered with
ugly rash or pimples, or is rough
or dry. Nothing subdues fiery
skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur prep
aration Is applied the itching stops
and after two or three applica
tions the eczema is gone and the
skin is delightfully clear and
smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys
the parasites that cause the burn
ing, itching or disfigurement.
Mentho-Sulphur always heals ec
zema right up.
A small jar of Mentho-Sulphur
may be had at any good drug
store. Adv.

"Shop Where the Crowds Bay"
J. S. Magladry of Dorena yes
terday filed with the secretary of
stats his declaration of candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
state senator from the third sena
torial district, comprising Lane
county. He will oppose Walter H.
Jones and John R. pell.
"Reduce the overhead. Cut
down the cost," is his slogan. He
offers the following as a platform:
"Use my best efforts to abolish
every item, of expense that is not
absolutely necessary to conduct
the affairs of the state along sane,
good business and economic lines.
The only way to reduce taxes is to
stop spending the money. I have
no axe to grind, no interests to
serve except those of the taxpay
er. I am under no obligation to
anyone and am in position to use
my best judgment and any ability
I may have to relieve the taxpay
ers of their present seriou3 condi
tion, and I will do it."
Delbert Fehl of Medford today
filed as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for represen
tative in the legislature from
Jackson county. "Business effi
ciency, lower taxes, development,
progress, liberty, American ideals,
Oregon first," Is his slogan. As a
platform he submits the following:
"Stand for American ideals and
principles; for coastructive reduc
tion in taxes, by doing away with
duplicate government agencies
and demanding business efficiency
from employes having charge of
public work; through uniform
methods of valuation and the de
velopment of Oregon's resources
to the end that more property be
taxable; through advertising Ore
gon as a home state to the people
of the world, thereby securing
more taxpoyers, and to make it a
fact by repeal of unjust and bur
densome laws, by enacting fewer
and better laws and removinng de
fects from present statutes in the
interest of equity and business.
High educational standards."
