necessary to work In teaching do

the addition Of this important feature

quantities have been provided and
Just now DR.. Fleming is busy secur-
ing the instructors necessary for the
department. There has been large
demand for domestic science at Wes-
leyan for several years and many
prospective students have been lost
to the local institution through lack
OF such a department. Already many
students are In sight for the depart
ment and 1t is expected that 1t will
prosper from the start.
The fall term Is drawing to close

There Is one remedy that seldom fails
and skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with zemo,
which generally overcomes all skin dis
eases. Acne, eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes, black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor blem-
ishes disappear overnight. Itching usu-
ally stops instantly. Zemo is safe, clean,
easy to use and dependable. 1t costs only

Word and Action

From the Republic.
 A message by wireless from Berlin says that the Admiralty announces that German submarines are now us- ing every precaution to prevent loss of life in carrying out the attempted blockade of England. Warnings are being given to merchant ships and ev- cry opportunity afforded for the es- cape of those on board where there IS no show of resistance to the commands of the submarine officers.
 This Government is insisting that it is the duty of Germany to carry on it's fight against British commerce Tn the manner which has been adopted in these recent cases and apparently approved by the Admiralty. All that is necessary to end the German con troversy with the United States IS to make that approval general and cou- pie with it appropriate action Tn re gard to past offenses.

turn. Her eyes were fixed on the two writhing men.
 Suddenly Pell started to roll over to- ward the edge of the roof, dragging John after him. This new danger ap- paled the girl. She watched with fas- cinated eyes.
 John Dorr was well out of breath by this time and knew his man. It was a desperate struggle, for the thief was fighting for his freedom and possibly his life. So Dorr settled down to hold him until his wild strength ebbed and he could handle him.
 Henry Pell. on the other hand, knew precisely his plight and saw with ex- actness what would happen to him un- less he escaped the huge arms that tied him down. Like all men of his class, he was averse to carrying weap- ons. Tonight he cursed himself for be- ing unarmed. One shot, the fire escape and away! That being impossible, he planned another mode of getting away In pursuance of it, he gradually work ed himself nearer and nearer to the escape ladder. If he could once get his hands on those iron rails and swing himself over, his assailant must in- evitably either let go or drop over. Pell knew the steel strength of his own arms, practiced for years in just such tricks.
 But the presence of a second man right in front of the ladder, as he perceived through his blurred eyes, rendered that hope out of the ques- ton. In desperate fury he kicked Dorr violently, tore one arm loose and drove his bony fist like a bullet into Johns throat.
 This forced Dorr for the moment to let him go. Pell rushed swiftly toward the ladder. He was halted by the sight of a perfectly level gun held in the hand of man who evidently knew how to use it. He darted back, and John caught him again, this time with q we'll directed blow that felled him A second later the thief was helpless, lying almost at the very edge of the roof. He was trapped and he knew it. There was but one thing to do, get rid of the evidence that he had been thieving. With firt of his elbow, he managed to send the bundle of papers which had fallen out of his pocket over tue coping and into the air. Then be chOked up to Dorr.
 Are you mad?"
 "Mad?" panted Dorr. letting his hold relax. At this moment Ruth came out of her stupor and ran up to them, fol lowed up by an old man, who had also
