PREDICTS GOOD RESULTS

Says This Method Would Remove Lo.

Tariff Commission Should Be, Ex-
perts Of the Highest Possible Grade.
New York, Aug. appointment Of
tariff and river and harbor commits
sions to frame legislation in outline is
strongly urged by Theodore Roose-
welt in an article published in the Out
look. The former presidents advocacy
OF the commission plan is based in
part on, the theory that it would pro-
vide the most effective means Of re-
lieving members Of congress of i'm
proper pressure brought to bear on
them by special interests.
The Roosevelt article is entitled "A
Remedy for Some Forms of Selfish
Legislation" It is inspired by pa
per on political Reform written by a
congressman for the current number
of the Worlds Work, in which it is as
serted that until constituencies cease
to regard their representatives as so.

gress will continue, to enact ubiquitous
groups of local favors into national
legislation.

After recommending specifically the
naming of tariff commission, COM
posed of experts Of the highest pos
sible grade, and a similar commission
to deal with river and harbor matters,
Colonel Roosevelt says: ~.e.
These men, from the very nature
of the case, will be wholly free from
the local pressure Of special interests
so keenly felt by every man who is
dependent on the vote of particular
district every two years for his con
tinuance in public life.

An Experts opinion Of Skin
Diseases

y (. r II q 85 FL &
A prominent national expert on
skin diseases whose name you are
familiar with says that in all his
scientific experience he has never
found SO hard disease to conquer
as Eczema. Yet he does not
hesitate to recommend ZEMOas a.
most successful remedy for the
treatment of Eczema, itching
skin diseases, dandruff, pimples,
blackheads and all other diseases
of the skin and scalp. He says
that not only do its curative
qualities make it popular but also
the fact that it is a clean, liquid
remedy for external use. A great
improvement over the old style
greasy salves and lotions which are
not only unpleasant to use but do
not destroy the grim life that
causes the disease. ZEMO draws
the germs to the surface and de
stroys them, leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Can be used
freely on infants. The City Drug
Store will gladly supply those who
call with free sample bottle of
ZEMO and a booklet which ex-
plains.in simple language all about
skin diseases and how to cure
yourself at home with ZEMO

Count Tolstoi's sudden retirement from
the haunts of men and his pathetic an
nounccment to the wife of his youth
that, like other old men. retire
from the world to complete my life in
solitude So archaic and incongruous
does this seem to us moderns that
most Of us receive it as another evil
dence of a great mind gone wrong,
and refuse to see il as the courageous
and altogether fitting exit of one of
the worlds great sous. Only the
Greek tragcdians could have fully
caught the poetic fitness of such an
act. though they too would have look
ed on the Tolstoi of his latter days as
one disordercd in mind And yet who
shall say that the Tolstoi of the peas
ant revolution does not deserve a
much brighter halo than the brilliant
To'stoi OF War and Peace" and Anna
Karcnina"? What is possibly his last
message to the world is a well-reason-
ed and learned letter to Russian
peasant on knowledge and Educa-
tion," published in this weeks Inde-
pendent, in which he concludes that
only that can be regarded as true
knowledge which has to do with the
we'll being Of Mankind" and that
There is nothing more harmful than
the inaniues regarded as knowledge
by the leisured people OF our time"
His abandonment Of literature as all
art and his literal acceptance of the
teachings of Jesus as he understood
them and his attempts to carry them
out in his daily life in modern and
unsynpathetic world have led most OF
us to regard him as unbalanced Per
haps he is, but his writings at least
have lost none of their force as pro-
ducts OF the intellect and soul
