Clears Away Pimples

There is one remedy that sell
dom fails to clear away all PIN
pies, black heads and skin erup-
lions and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you
with zemo, which generally over
comes all skin diseases. Acne,
eczema. itch, pimples. rashes,
black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight.
Itching usually stops instantly.
Zemo is safe, clean, easy to use
and dependable. 1t costs only
csc; an extra large bottle, s1.00.
1t will not stain, is not greasy or
sticky and is positively safe for
tender, sensitive skins.
Zemo. Cleveland.

Berlin.-Three representatives Of
large American food concerns recent

American ambassador, and laid before
him new proposition in an attempt
to secure the importation of supplies
from the United States.
They claimed that a huge, newly
formed concern, the East Prussia
Food company" had offered them al
most unlimited contracts for foods If
they could import them, the supplies
by agreement to be used exclusively
for the suffering civil population OF
the Russian territory occupied by Ger
many. Since the importation would
only be possible by some agreement
reached through diplomatic channels,
they requested the ambassador to take
the necessary steps.
Mr.. Gerard told the representatives
that in his opinion he would be I'M
able to make any such arrangement by
reason of the Rockefeller relief com.
mittee experience.
