HOW TO CURE SKIN DISEASES

Eczema, pimples. dandruff and
itching skin diseases are Of local
origin and are caused by germs. In
order to cure these diseases the
germs and their poisons must be
driven to the surface of the skin and
destroyed. Salves and greasy lotions
may give temporary relief, but they
do not destroy the germs that cause
the disease. A st. Louis chemist has
discovered a clean vegetable liquid
remedy that will draw the germs and
their poisons to the surface of the
skin and destroy them, leaving a nice,
clear, healthy skin. This remedy is
known as Zemo, and by its many re-
markable cures has attracted the at
tention of the leading scientists and
skin specialists of this country and
Europe.
ZemO has been given The most cor
dial reception by the public of any
similar remedy ever produced, and II
is recognized as an honest medicine
that makes honest cures.
Zemo is for sale everywhere. You
can obtain a trial package free by
writing to the f. w. ROSE MED1-
CINE CO., st. Louis, Missouri.
Mr.. w. j. Gilbert has secured the
agency for Zcmo in Paducah and will
gladly show you proof of some OF the
wonderful cures made by this re-
markable remedy,

servation of the country's natural re-
sources. another representative gath

Forest Utilization.
Probably the most important uues-
ton to be discussed at the conference
of governors is that of forest utiliza-
ton and preservation. A mass of data
has been prepared by the forest serv-
ice on the matter. and two mammoth

ever made in the United States by a
mechanical process-have been rush

represents the labor of fifteen men,

There was already a smaller map OF
this character at the forest service,
and the two made for the white house

President Roosevelt Will have a
good Illustration to help in explaining
what irrigation means. He can point
10 five irrigation projects now under
construction. 1t will be demonstrate
ed at the conference that these five
projects will give high agricultural
value to total of nearly one million
acres of land The five irrigation
projects are the MIX and Sun river
projects, the Montana. the ShoshOne
IN Wyoming. the Belle Fourche in
South Dakota, and the North Platte
IN Wyoming and Nebraska.
The boast that Irrigation will solve
the problems of foods and spring
freshets is not founded on idle theory
The practice of irrigation is directly
dependent upon storage of water. Ey-
cry additional drop of water filched
from above tie regular level of a
STREAM and stored up in the irrigation
reservoirs means bigger crops for the
irrigated farms. And the reservoirs
will take up the vast volume of water
that starts out on rampage to
spread food and destruction, before
any damage can have been done.
All of the reservoirs for the five
irrigation projects now being COM
pleted will exert an effect on the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers. The Big
Muddy may be clarified remarkably;
flooding of southern levees anchor
aied and conditions generally i'm
proved.
