Heals Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema. ringworm, rashes and sim
liar skin troubles. A little Zemo, gotten
at any drug store for 25c, or Sl.O0 for
extra large bottle, and promptly applied
will usually give instant relief from itch
ing torture. 1t cleanses and soothes the
skin and heals quickly and effectively
most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful disappearing liquid
and does not smart the most delicate skin:
1t is not greasy, is easily applied and
costs little. Get it today and save all
further distress.

QUIT MEAT If YOUR

Take Tablespoonful Of Salts if Back

We are a nation OF meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says a

be constantly ON guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but be
come weak from the overwork; they get
sluggish; the climinatYe tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.

table, obiging you TO seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleep

bad weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
Tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
Ilithia. and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,

Registration OF Deaths.
The intimate relationship between
the registration of deaths and The in
telligent control of the public health
is so obvious as to require no discus
sion. A study of the data of the
registration area" of the United
States i'm which mOrtuary figures are
accurately collected, leads to the esti-
mate that 100000 persons die each
year in this country. A similar we'll
founded estimate shows that 100000
of the one and One-half million deaths
are due to preventable diseases.
Estimated" Deaths-It seems al
most incredible that a matter of such
importance as the saving of over a
! half million lives has to be a matter
OF estimation or conjecture. IL is
the most incredible when we know
that the exact truth may be ascertain
ed by a comparatively simple method
which is already successfully en-
/ plOyed throughout many States.

A Fine Exhibit.

The annual exhibit of work done
by the pupils Of the public school
was held in the high school building
Friday afternoon and evening, and
attracted an unusually large number
of citizens. The visitors were amaz-
ed and delighted with the talent and
ability shown by the children in the
different displays.
There were exhibits of painting,
drawing, sewing, manual training
ETC., as we'll as pen and ink work.
The exhibits were the best shown in
years, and the teachers are to be
ngratulated on their efforts. Some
of the manual training work is now
on display in Ben Bears window
and should be seen by everyone, as
it is simply elegant work.

Deaths In Iowa.

The report of the state board OF
health on the record of deaths in
Iowa for the month of February last

responsible for a surprisingly large
proportion of the deaths in this
state.
OF the 1,02S deaths reported
there were loo due TO some form OF
tuberculosis or disease of that ma.

There were 800 deaths due to vari.
Gus diseases OF the respiratory or

Organic diseases of the heart
claimed 246 and cancer 1871. There
were fifteen reported deaths from
railroad accidents in that month.
AS to age the largest number oi
deaths take place between the age:
of 20 to so years, 3S1; but between
so and 90 there were 261 deaths, and
81 died who were over 90-whict

Here's Another Warning"

We Americans have heard much
of late about warning" we should
have needed. Here's a warning
which other nations may well heed
Fifty years have just passed since
the end of the greatest civil strife in
the worlds history. This nation,
which just fifty years ago was clos
ing a gap that threatened it's very
existence, is, almost on the anniver-
sary of that event, again threatened,
this time from without.
Once before, seventeen years ago,
we had to face somewhat similar
crisis, and then It was amply demon
strated that this was again united
nation.
This fact is accentuated now in a
similar way. From the farthest co.,
ner of the South to Mason and Dix
'ol's line the conviction of national
unity is just as fervid as in the
North.
From Atlantic 10 Pacific, from gulf
to lakes, the feeling is the same. We
stand united-united in word,
thought and deed, with ranks rnbro-
ken, to meet any crisis.
Our total recovery from the trou-
bles of the SOS has again been dem
onstrated, and mist forcibly. Let any
who doubt our unity-who try 10
think of us as still ''colonists' OF
some foreign nation-note the truth
and heed its warning Her
aid.
