Clears Complexion

Don't worry about skin troubles. You
can have a clear, clean complexion by
using a little zemo, obtained at any drug
store for Zoe, or extra large bottle at
S1.0O.
Zemo easily removes all traces of PIN
pies, black heads, eczema, and rirgworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is neither watery, sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trifie for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
Zemo. Cleveland.

to the Appam and are supposed to be
still on board the German raider.
Why the Appam was ordered to lay
her course for Hampton Roads with
neutral Spanish ports comparatively
near, Lieutenant Berge would not say.
During the last forty-eight hours Of
the flight across the Atlantic. the
young German lieutenant never left
the bridge.
Today the wireless instruments Of
the Appam were under seal by the
port authorities and her antennaa
lowered from the masts to prevent her
securing information regarding the
British patrol outside the capes.
Gravity of the international aspects
were emphasized by refusal Of Col
lector Hamilton to go near the YES
sci. All conferences are being held
| in Hamilton's office. Technically and
actually, the Appam's decks are Ger
man territory" and she is complete
| ly under German control.
Among the Appam's passengers
are four British officers, including
Lieutenant Fox, secretary to Sir Ed.
ward Meriwether, governor general
Of the British colony OF Sierre Leone.
The presence of Sir Edward offers
another international complication.
Another problem Is presented by
the presence OF eight prisoners in the
Abrams brig. The briggs port hole
is closed, but the inmates signalled TO
newspapermen who tried to board the
ship that they are imprisoned Be-
fore they could communicate. one OF
the German sailors falready hickman
