To Make Skin Clear

Don't worry about skin troubles. You
can have a clear, clean complexion nv
using a little zemo, obtained at any
drug store for 25c. or extra large bot
tie at $1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, eczema. and
ringworm and makes the skin ciear
and healthy. Zemo is neither waterv.
sticky nor greasy and stains nothing'
1t is easily applied and costs a ners
trif1e for each application. It is al
ways dependable.

Free Prescription Can Be Filled At
Any Drug Store and Given Secretly

H. ]. Brown, 400 West Superior Ave,
Cleveland, Ohio, was for many years
confirmed drunkard. His friends and
relatives despaired of ever redeeming
him. His sister sought the best medi-
cal men in Europe in the hope that she
might find something which would cure
him. Finally she was recommended to
an eminent chemist who gave her a
private formula (the same as appears
below and told her how to use 1t. She
had 1t filled at the drug store and gave 1t
ling. In a few weeks he was COM
pletely cured That was over eight
years ago and he has not touched a
drop since He now occupies a position
of trust and is enthusiastic in his ef-

IT "a SURPRISING, the number OF
women with plenty of time, who
cannot do a bit of sewing for them
selves. It is equally surprising,
how these women turn themselves
over blindly to dressmakers whose
ideas end with their paper patterns.
who have no real conception Of the
varying needs Of each client.
No woman can be beautiful un-
less she knows how to bring out
her good points and how to- conceal
her bad ones. Our stage women
are beautiful-they have mastered
the art of dress. the art of hair
dressing, and learned how to hold
themselves. Our society women
are usually very good-looking-
they also put themselves in the
hands of artist-costumers, and are
dressed to mako them appear
beautiful.
The average woman buys every
thing, from hats to shoes, because
it. meets her price or takes her eye
regardless of whether 1t is the
sort of thing she should wear:
Pretty clothes cost little when you
make them-but you must know
how to do it we'll. 49,
advise you, II you have any
time for such work, to get dress
form just your height and fixed to
your exact measurements, to buy
materials and colors that become
you, and study yourself to decide
whether you take the frivolous, the
severe, demure or sports style.
Suits and coats are hard to make
because of their intricate tailoring,
but dresses and neglig6es and un-
dergarments are easy and de-
lightful.
Be we'll dressed, and stylish, and
half your battle of beauty Is won.
Choose colors to bring out your
hair and your complexion, styles
that will suit your type, pretty,
artistic things, and see how soon
everyone will notice a change.

Automobiles were put to new mill
tary use in the Villa campaign on May
IA when the bandit leader, COL Julio
Cardenas, was killed with two of his
neutenants.
Three touring cars from Gen. Perish
ing's camp started about midday for
Rancho San Miguel de Rubio, a short
run across the mountains, the resi-.
dence of the Cardenas family and the
scene of pot shooting occasionally at
American troops. The Cardenas fam
lily, all women and children, had re-
manned unmolosted Notwithstanding
positive information to the American
stan that the bandit frequently used
his ranch for q rendezvous.
The automobiles, with an order to
buy corn as the ostensible purpose,
made a fast run over mountain foot
hills to the ranch. Lieut.. Gen. George
s. Patton, Jr., of San Francisco, a
member Of Gen. Pershing's staff, COM
manded the machines. Within q mile
of the ranch the cars topped hill.
from which they were visible to the
occupants Of the ranch and made q
dash toward their objective, which
would have been impossible for cav
airy. Running nearly sixty miles an
hour, they were within less than 200
yards of the buildings before their
presence was discovered.
A Mexican working in the yard gave
the warning but it was too late BY the
time Cardenas and his two men could
get on their horses and dash for the
ranch gate, the Americans had sur
rounded the place.
Cardenas was the first man to
emerge from shelter. He and Lieut..
Patton engaged in pistol duel in
which shot from Patton's weapon
broke the bandits arm and drove him
back into the ranch house, later to be
finished by the American soldiers
when he tried to escape.

not being able to secure man for
the dance. He had managed to skate
with her for two hours that morning,
so probably he would be able to sur
vive four or five dances with her that
evening. But If the truth must be told
1t was the hope Of seeing Betty and
the bitter thought that he would also
see the rival who was taking his place
with her that led him to accept the
proposition without murmur.
It was with decided surprise that
Botsford beheld the radiant splendor
of the girl Of whose name he was still
ignorant. There was no doubt about
