to them that a society should be organ

such material as they We're collecting.
Then one day they discovered that the
same idea had been entertained by others.

scientific departments in Washington. So
they decided that several heads were bet

the organization was formed. 1t was in
March, 1894. that the first meeting was
called. in the rooms of the president of
Columbian University, where by invita-

pose "of exchanging views as to the best
history Of the National Capital"
On the 18th of April of the same year
another meeting was held. at which DR..
Joseph NJ. Toner was chosen the first

YIELD TO ZEMO TREATMENT

Why should you continue to ex-

and fancy hair dressings trying to
rid your scalp of germ life. They
can't do it because they cannot pene-
trate to the seat of the trouble and
draw the germ life to the surface Of
the scalp and destroy 1t.
Why not try a PROVEN REM
EDY? One that will do this. We
have a remedy that will rid the scalp
of germ life and in this way will
cure DANDRUFF and ITCHING
SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean. re-
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and drives the germ life to the sur
face and destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO CANTI-
SEPTlC) SOAP and one application
of ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp
of dandruff and scurf. Do not hesi-
tate, but get a bottle OF ZEMO to-
day. 1t acts on a new principle and
will do exactly what we claim for it..

tees, and the State Chairman will
certify to their respective National
Committees.

ceding paragraph is in strict accord
ance with the provisions contained in
