Just the moment you apply Men
tho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe
cialist. This sulphur preparation,
made into a pleasant cold cream,
gives such a quick relief, even to
fiery eczema, that nothing has ever
been found to take Its place.
Because of its germ-destroying
properties, it quickly subduee the
itching, cools the Irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving a clear,
smooth skin In place of ugly erup

Attack on State of
Single Bliss.
Bachelors are crooks anil scoun
drels and sneaking knaves.
That is one of the popular beliefs,
which is utterly without foundation
jin fact.
An eastern investigator has come
forward with the statement that in
New York, out of 480 men committed
to penal Institutions, 105 were mar
ried, living with their wives. 265 were
bachelors, 11 wers widowers and 99
were married.
It Isn't so in Douglas county. Coun
ty Attorney Beal says about "1 per
cent of the men charged with crime
here are married. This Includes the
great mass of men charged with wife
or child abandonment, totaling ahout
25 per cent of the criminal cases.
Here's Proof.
Canvass of 40 cases of men sen
lo penal institutions In the last year
showed 22 marbled men and 18 bach
elors.
It Is likely, also, that some of those
who put themselves down as single
were married or had been married.

What Experts Here and
Abroad Say About It:
“Hudson has produced a super Essex . ... It looks like the
proverbial knockout. * '—From Automobile Topics.
“The New Essex is a revelation of performance, ease of riding and
of smoothness. ’ '—From Motor Age.
“Steers easily, even on loose gravel at 53 miles per hour.”
—From Motor World.
“A wonderful value—a car of which Hudson engineers have a
right to be proud. * *—From Motor Life.
“Possesses qualities / didn ft believe could be incorporated in a
closed Car at *975. * *—ff- A. Tarahtous, in Motor (U. S. A.)
and “MOTOR” of London, England Says:
“For • very considerable time the
Essex car has been one of the most
popular American productions mar
keted In this country, and has won
an enviable name for reliability and
road performance. Good as the
four-cylinder model has proved to
be In service, however, the manu
facturers have superseded It in fa
vour of a six-cylinder model. It
represents a very great advance In
design on the old car, and is one of
the most Interesting American ve
hicles that has ever been imported
here, chiefly on account of the fact
that the engine is only just over two
litres capacity.
“Outstanding features are the
splayed rear semi-elliptic suspen
sion, the sturdy frame, accessible
power unit and components, oil sys
tem of chassis lubrication, general
finish of chassis and bodywork, and
the remarkably low price.
“So much for the details of the
chassis. A short run on the road
proved to our satisfaction that the
car did not belie its appearance.
The engine is vibrationless and will
take the car along at so slow a
speed as 2^ miles per hour without
a tremor from the transmission.
From even this low speed a ready
pick-up can be obtained without
changing down. For a 2-litre power
unit the acceleration on second la

lively cars in which we have ridden.
Thirty miles an hour or over seema
but 10 or 12, so smooth is the en
gine, while ordinary main-road gra
dients can be surmounted in excess
of 45 miles per hour.
"The steering is particularly light
for an AmeHcan production, very
accurate, and an ample lock is pro
vided. The brakes, both hand and
foot, could not be better, for they
are very smooth, progressive and
powerful in action. The transmis
sion is noiseless, and in every way
the new Essex six-cylinder can be
put down as a real delight to drive.”
“Even better than my former ESSEX”
say Thousands of Owners
It Is the most talked of car ever brought out by
Essex. Old owners say It duplicates the pep
and dash of the former Essex up to 50 miles an
hour, while far surpassing it In smoothness and
riding ease.
Thousands who examine and ride in it daily
are proclaiming qualities never expected in a
car of its price. They call it the easiest riding
car they ever knew. Safe, comfortable and
steady on all roads at all speeds. A special
design that will interest you accounts for that.
It starts instantly in any weather. Steers easily
as a bicycle. Gears shift noiselessly at a touch.
Even those who keep but casual track of gaso
line and oil mileage, are astonished at its econ
omy in those respects. And the minimum *
service cost policy, continues these economies
in inexpensive maintenance throughout all the
years it serves you. Ask your dealer for the
parts price list.
