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 xemo,
which generally overcomes all skin dis
eases. Acne, eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes, black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor biem-

ally stops instantly. Zemo is safe, clean,

pany. Sixth regiment of engineers;
veteran of 1870; knight Of the Legion
of Honor; volunteered for the dura.
ton OF the war at the age of seventy.
SIX, asked to be sent to the front as a
sapper, shares without any sign of
physical weakness all the work carried
on by his company, both by day and
by night. under the enemy's fire; a
most conscientious soldier of discip-
line, energy and keenness." In private
life Surrugue is a civil engineer and
regularly walks many miles to super
intend the construction and upkeep of
the light railways In his district. A
twenty-mile walk is mere child's play
to him. For twelve years before the
war he was the mayor Of his native
town of Auxerre, in Yonne, a place of
1900 inhabitants. In the war of 1870
Corporal Surrugue served with Cen
eral Faidherbe. Called up as a civil
engineer, he gained the rank of cap
tain. He was twice mentioned in dis
patches.

FURNITURE IN LIGHT COLOR
Cretonne Widely Used, and Most
Housekeepers Will Welcome the
Idea as One of Great Merit.

! In no way can chair, couch or
almost any article of furniture which
has become dingy be frightened more
easily and inexpensively than by a jul
dicious use Of cretonne. But cretonne
this season is by no means merely a
disguise for the unsightly.
The shops are showing as the new
est thing in bedroom furnishings for
the country house whole sets Of white
| or cream enameled wood with fabric
panels in every piece, and many sep
arate articles similarly decorated
serve various purposes. This is an
advantageous fashion, for with the aid
of a few yards Of cretonne it is pos
sible to transform beyond recognition
piece OF furniture and make Of ii
an up-to-date novelty and not some
thing which has obviously been made
over.
Cretonnes are used in every con-
ceivable way this spring. They are
no longer confined to the boudoir and
the porch, but make their appearance
in practically every room in the house.
Consequently a wider variety of de-
signs has been put forth. There are
still the dainty flower and wreath de-
signs, but more ingenuity seems to
have been expended upon the beauti.
full verdure patterns for upholstery
purposes and the big, splashy exam
pies Of Chinese design so effective as
hangings in living room or library.
In the darker hues the heavy Gre
tonnes closely resemble tapestry and
rival it in beauty of color tone and
design. They mako excellent cover
ings for the fireside chair or odd rock
er, are now considered to be in good
taste in any inf 5rmal living room. and
cost but fraction of what is asked for
tapestry. The more vivid color COM
binations contrast we'll with wicker
ware, whether plain or in the old
ivory or mahogany STAIN Wicker
tables, muffin stands and tea wagons
have centerpieces and trays of the Gre
tonnrd covered with glass.

PetroVa Blouse.

Among the new blouses is a most
alluring model called the Petroya
tunic. OF course it is Russian in
type and its important feature is an
extension below the waist line. which
gives the long Russian tunic OBJECT.
This extension is either gathered or
circular and falls from trim belt to
midway between hip and knee. Worn
over a separate skirt of harmonizing
material, the new Russian blouse
gives the effect OF a complete cos
tune. The idea is a practical one.
