BALED SHAVINGS

Evangelist Scoville never reads an
annymous letter. Mrs. Scoville sees
the mail before her husband gets his
hands on it. unless the letter head
indicates that the evangelist Is &C
ouafnted with the sender Of the mis-
sive.

from one to twenty sheets Of paper
to voice protest Of some kind or an
other" says Mrs. Scoville, 81 see 1t

DR.. Scoville never learns Of It's ex-
istence."
Hundreds Of letters reach the re-
yivalist in the course of a week. They
come from all classes Of people and
contain all kinds Of reading matter.
Some people commend his efforts.
others slip him "brick-bats.' Once IN
while the preacher receives a dire
threat OF death in some form or other,
it may be by hanging, shooting, drown
ing or burning at the stake.
In Jefferson City, Mo-, last Novem-
I Der. he received letter from moth
er in Kansas City, asking him to find
her boy who had left home and was
thought to be in the capital of the
state. DR. Scoville gave the letter to
the Jefferson City papers and later
the errant lad was located and re-
turned to his parents.
Speaking Of letters, the women OF
the Scoville party receive not a few
epistles each day. Scores Of high
school and business girls in cities
where the party has been, write to
Mrs. Scoville, Mrs. Stewart and Miss
Robinson for months after the CAM
paign in their respective cities has
closed. Dozens Of youngsters who
were in the Bible drill, write Mrs
Stewart. Others who remember the
women In after months are women
who were members OF the chorus

Scoville, you who call yourselves

declared that II any person in the
audience were preparing to cross an

Use Zeno for Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c. Extra
large bottle, $1.OO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace Of pimples, black
heads, rash, eczema, letter and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, zemo is an exceptional
remedy. 1t is not greasy, sticky or
waterv and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for all skin troubles.

Come Back Home?" After Sic had
sung, the evangelist called for the
members of the orchestra to line up
across his platform and accompany
the chorus of 1.-THE CITY Where They
Need No Sun"
Scoville hit hard on certain alleged
forms Of sin last night, but in the
main his sermon was a simple, though
impassioned and at times eloquent

ways and Zine up for Cod"
He emphasized the fact that God
is ever ready to do his part. "He

Charles Reign Scovi1le was closing
his sermon, which had been a simple

angels. that you're coming home!-
Scoville stepped down to the rude
rail that is built across in front Of
the platform from which he speaks
each night. He held forth his arms.
"Am talking to any young man to-
night whose mother doesn't know
wnere he is?' he asked. "If l am,
come on, brother, and write that
mother tonight"
The chorus, lead by Mrs. Scoville,
began softly the chorus, Tell Mother

to the platform and leaned YEARLY
across the pulpit.
