PIMPLES DISAPPEAR

There is one remedy that sell
dom fails to clear away all pim-
pies, black heads and skin erup-
tons 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
25c; an extra large bottle, $1.00.
1t will not stain, is not greasy or
sticky and is positively safe for
tender, sensitive skins.
Zemo, Cleveland.

Teaching the Immigrant.

The necessity Of teaching the
adult immigrant how to speak
English as soon as possible after
his arrival is emphasized by H.
H. Wheaton Of the U. S. bureau
Of education in report just
made public.
"With the adult immigrant de-
sire for instruction and ability
to acquire, language are largely
lost, +" says DR.. Wheaton, "yet in
ability to speak English is the
most serious barrier to inter
course between Americans and
foreigners. furthermore, en-
ployes are coming to see the
necessity Of teaching their for
eign-born employees the English
language and something Of the
rules Of safety. Experience shows
that a large proportion Of indus
trial accidents are due to the
fact that foreigners have not ur-
derstood the orders Of the fore
men. A canvass of many employ
ers Of foreign-born workingmen
indicates that a knowledge cf
English is urgently needed. This
is particularly true Of railroads.
steel plants, and boundaries
In eight Of the principal cit
les of the United States. accord
ing to- DIR. Wheaton, the number
Of foreign-born adults unable to
speak English totals over 100000.
New York alone has $4,000.
The types Of schools adapted
to the education of the immi-
grant are evening, industrial and
camp schools. "The number Of
classes provided by different
Cities" declares DR.. Wheaton,
is far from adequate. Appropi-
ations are insufficient to provide
the requisite teaching. Failure to
appreciate the need Of increase
in accommodations is shown by
the fact that 19 cities in the
state. of New York, with u popu-
lation Of 10000 to 10000, and witt
the foreign-born population very
ing from 1000 to 1000, have no
public night classes where inni-
grants can learn the English
language.
DR.. Wheaton finds that private
and religious agencies have
largely supplemented the made
quate provisions made by the
.tate to teach adult immigrants:
English and American laws and
customs.

TIME NOW TO GATHER s
ALL THE SEED CORN

The corn crop this year, has
not. been the success anticipAted
and those who. have corn that
has not been frosted should get
it ready for seed as then it will
be worth $3.50 or $500 per bu-
shel before the next seeding
time.
In order to, save every bit Of
seed possible the experiment sta
ton officials are advising the fan
mers to watch their corn closely
and just as soon as good ear
passes the roasting ear stage and
the surface glazts to pick it.
Even though there is still Lit
tie milk in the kernels they will
germinate,- providing that the
corn is properly dried and kept
from mildewing or souring. With
proper drying, corn in this stage
will shrivel up, but it will have
good terminating qualities.
Corn in the milk Stage will
grow so thai if the corn is no
farther along than this when Kill
ling frost comes, save it for seed.
1t will be more difficult to cure
than If mature, so it.must be kept
! where it will have good chance
to dry, and it should be put to
drying at once. It should be- kept
where the circulation Of air is
good and where it will not freeze
1t will shrink badly but il we'll
cured will grow. II it is possible
to secure more maturity in the
corn it should by all means be
done. But rather than lose the
seed, save it when quite green.
| 1t is important that care be
taken to save every bushel Of
perfect corn that is raised in the
state this yea. Southern seed
corn can be purchased, it is true,
but southern seed corn will not
fill the bill. For several years
North Dakota has been develop
ing a corn Of it's own, suited to
the conditions of this latitude,
welding well and ripening early.
To return to Iowa and Illinois fl
our seed supply will be to aban-
don the excellent results Of sew
eral years development and selec
tlon.
It is particularly desirable thai
all the corn that develops per-
fectly in this county this year
be saved for seed, because of the
fact that in addition to the gen.
cral shortage Of northern grown
seed, corn that ripens well under
the adverse conditions of this
year has passed through a sitting
process which will have left only
that which approaches perfection
Corn that ripens here this year
has demonstrated it's fitness for

Should the Dardanelles be open

cause the English government
can finance the movement, while

some lines slight improvement is noted,

Il. q. Dun & Co., in their weekly review,

ported that conditions remain about the
same as for the last two weeks Buy

that they have had a good future i'll

show a rising tendency. y number of
local mills using cotton yarns are only
operating to about 10 to 80 per cent. of
their capacity and some mills even less.
Some hosiery mills, however, who manu-
facture special numbers, principally for
order trade. report that they are well
supplied with orders, but this is only
occasional. Manufacturers generally ap-
pear to be optimistic and are endeavoring
to keep down their overhead charges and
looking forward to better business con-
ditiOns.
Conditions in the local wool market
remain much the same as for the last
two weeks. The mills appear to be fairly

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Sentiment Continues Cheerful; Large
Credits Helpful.

LONDON. April 16,-There was no
abatement in the cheerful feeling on the
Stock Exchange today although some ir-
regularity was noted. The Indebtedness
of the market to the banks on old COM
mitments is now estimated at less than
$1,000 900. Confidence in the outcome
of the war and the large floating credits
are now helping investment buying.
The tone in the gilt-edged section was
harder. There was less activity IN the
war loan because OF fears of competition
from the new treasury bills. in which
the public is now participating. Home
railway issues were bought on a light
scale.
The American section was strong, fol-
lowing New York. United States Steel
