Pin,ples Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, black heads
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 zenao. Frequently, minor biem-
ishes disappear overnight. Itching usu-
ally stops instantly. Zemo IS safe, clean,
easy to use and dependable. It costs only

Tin Grows Scarce.

With regard to the future use OF tin.
it may be said that we are dealing
with the one metal whose known ore
reserves are entirely inadequate to
even the present demands, and that
unless some new source of supply is
developed very soon we may expect
to find that tin is very scarce metal
indeed. OF the present sources of
tin supply. most are either stationary
or receding in output, Bolivia being
the only one which gives promise of
permanency and Of future growth.
Under these conditions the question of
substitute metals becomes of impor-

rection in one way or another.-En

fifth Of one per cent greater than in
the year before, but for the same year
the deaths from tuberculosis dropped
from 1885 in the 100000 to 1916. That
is to say, the general death rate rose
little, while the rate from tubercu.

riod. tuberculosis is the disease which
has attracted the greatest amount Of
public attention, and the one against
which preventive measures have been
most vigorous Of late years. The peo-
pie understand the danger, know some.
thing about how to avoid it, and are
treating the prevention Of the disease
as a public problem. The figures
which the census bureau gives are evil

should give new courage to the fight
not only against tuberculosis but
against preventable disease Of all

ENEMY OF MOSQUITO
Ducks Feed voraciousIy on Pes.
tiferous Insect.
Experiment Proves Ability to Clear
Ponds of the Larvae/and Pupae
in Short order-Are Better
Than Goldfish.

The duck Is one of the greatest
known enemies of the mosquito.
Therefore, it is also the sworn enemy
of the diseases transmitted by this
pestiferous insect. If you are fearful
of malaria or any other disease car
ried by the mosquito, keep ducks.
This advice comes from DR.. Samuel
G. Dixon, state health commissioner
OF pennsylvania, who says OF the
efficiency of the duck as febrifuge:
After trying the ability of fish to
devour larvae and pupae of mos
quitoes. with varied success, built
two dams near together on the same
stream, so that each would have the
same environment for the breeding
of mosquitoes. Each covered nearly
1,4OO SQUARE feet. In one 20 mallard
ducks were permitted to feed, while
the other was entirely protected from
waterfowl but we'll stocked with gold
fish.
THE one in which the ducks fed
was for several months entirely free
from mosquitoes, while the pond pro-
tected from ducks and stocked with
fish was swarming with young In
sects in different cycles of life.
ITO the infested pond ten we'll Fed
mallard ducks were then admitted,
and as they entered the pond they
were first attracted by tadpoles. They,
however, soon recognized the pres
ence of larvae and pupae of the mos
quito and Immediately turned their at
tention to these, ravenously devour-
ing them in preference to any other
foodstuffs present. At the end of "a
hours no pupae were to be found, and
in 4S hours only a few small larvae
survived
while the other birds, fish, spiders,
batrachians, arthropods and reptiles
are all enemies of the mosquito, none
of them has the wide geographical

than there was on its deck. He told

than there was on it's deck. He told
the truth.
Only one boat was swung out on its
davits by the crew of the Philadel.
phia; it could not have held by any
chance more than dozen or fifteen
people; it was swung out long time
before the war zone was reached.
Why? No one knew. 1t is as much
of puzzle today as it was the day that
the crew swung the lifeboat over the
water.
1t has been said of other voyages
that passengers on ships passing
through the Irish sea at night did not
go to bed, or if they did. they turned
in with their clothes on. There was
only one passenger on the American
liner who stayed up all night through
the Irish sea, and he was a jolly, old
retired naval officer who had served
his time and who could not get over
the habit of staying on watch. This
old chap must be seventy-five years
old, but he showed up at the breakfast
table shining, roster and more gen.
orally wide-awake than any compan-
ion passenger.
The night before the Irish sea was
entered an Englishman who was play
ing bridge and side talking about the
matter of stewards tips said:
Perhaps the only steward we must
tip will be the one waiting on Davy
Jones .
England Solemn Place.
This word from the Britisher was
about the only one heard from man
suggestive of any dread possibilities
from the sailing of the war-zone sea.

the subject of the war and of danger
from start to finish About an hour

was, mo matter"
found out later, however, that the
women in solemn conclave had agreed
that it was safe to go to bed and to
turn in attired as they were ordinarily
attired on sleep occasions, and ito
pass the danger by" and with it all
thought of anything except safe
landing on the morrow.
One man can say who was going to
sleep with his trousers on and with his
shoes exceedingly handy, turned in
wearing the usual habiliments Of the
night, and tried, not altogether sue

Liverpool was reached early in the

were behind. but the war in it's other
aspects was in front. and one knew it
the instant that foot was put on land.
