DANDRUFF AND ITCHING SCALP
YIELD TO ZEMO TREATMENT.

Why should you continue to ex-
pertinent with salves, greasy lotions
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 it,
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 (ANTI-
SEPTIC) SOAP and one application
of ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp
of dandruff and scurf. Do not hesi-
tate, but get bottle of ZEMO to-
day. 1t acts on a new principle and
will do exactly what VIC claim for 1t.

years ago. the hotel had degenerated
from its former proud estate and no
longer sheltered fashionable crowds,
but was still popular with down town
merchants detained in the city for the
night and many travelling men and wo-

Many of the rescued were suffering

before the last Legislature with the

In the absence Of President George

Department, who is confined to his

the proposed ordinance and thought
that dealing with small boys driving
teams was very good.
Action on the third and final read
ing of the regulations was deferred
until next meek. This was due to the
fact that a number of changes are to

OSAKA, Japan. Jan. 16-More than
five thousand residences, temples and
pagodas were wiped out and thous-
ands were rendered homeless today by
a fire which swept through the cheap
er quarter of the city. A regiment
of infantry and a battalion of Sappers
aided the Fire Department in checking
the progress OF the flames after a fif-
teen-hour fight. Dynamite was used
in large quantities TO prevent the
flames from spreading to the many
arsenals near the burning district.
It is feared that many lives were
lost as the devastation was complete
over a wide area. The cause of the
confagration is unknown. Before the
alarm was given, a score of flimsy
structures were wrapped in flames
The blaze spread, rapidly and because
of the highly infammable material
of which the houses were constructed.
the work of the fire-fghters was most
difficult.
A number of factories were de-
stroyed and many persons will be
without work. The suffering among
the poor will be great The authori-

Nearly 1000 temples are located in
Osaka and many Of these were in the
path of the flames. No estimate Of
the property loss could be obtained
today, but it will be very heavy.
