To Make Skin Clear

Don't worry about skin troubles. You
can have a clear, clean complexion by
using a little zemo, obtained at any drug
store for 25c, or extra large bottle at
S1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces of pim-
pies, black heads, eczema, and ringworTn
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is neither watery. sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere tri1e for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

NJ. E. Justice, who represented Keo-
kuk at the meeting ofgthe Mississippi
Valley Terminal league at st. Louis.
Is home from the meeting, and brings
word that the terminal movement for
tie cities along the upper river Is
rapidly gathering force, and the city
which does not get In line with ter
minals or modern facilities for the
handling OF freight is going to be left
behind in the procession. The meet
Ing at ST. Louis was characterized by
Mr. Justice as a very business-like
Gathering In which all froth and gen.
eralities were excluded.
The board of engineers which will
take care of the general plan of ter
minals. as was told in last nights
Gate City, was the result Of general
discussion as to the kind Of terminals.
It developed that the V-rious cities
along the river each had a plan. No
TWO plans seemed anywhere near alike
and IN order to standardize these
Ideas, the engineers board was
named. These men will serve with
out pay. and they will consult with
the various cities along the river.

equipment. Bernhard emphasized
the fact that If cities did not have
terminals they could not expect his
lines to serve them, as terminals were
absolutely necessary. The talk of
whether dock should be made so as
to load a vessel directly or by cranes
was discussed.
The matter of tonnage was pro-
posed, and figures quoted to show that
when the proposition was put up in
st. Louis there was sufficient tonnage
promised to make the idea success.
1t was felt that the cities along the
river would grant enough tonnage to
make the palms feasible.
The freight carrying plans Of the
other companies, like the Streckfus
and Captain Blair lines were also out
lined @
At the dinner at noon in which the
st. Louis Business Mems league en-
tertained, the speakers said that 1t
was UP to St. Louis as the keystone
to the valley, to. take the first steps.
The city should take steps for ter
minals and for barge lines, 1t seemed
to be the idea of the speakers. Cover
nor Major. former Governor Eber
hardt and other speakers put it
squarely up to ST. Louis to take the
first step.
Another matter which was brought
out by the. conference WIS that some
of the cities did not own all of their
water fronts. OF course, this brings
another angle into the matter.
Justice on Committee. 10
Mr.. Justice was made a. member OF
the resolution committee which re-
ported during the session. The COM
mittee reported as follows:
/. Resolved. that the chief object
Of this conference is to put in definite
shape the work of establishing at all
ports on the Mississippi river and its
navigable tributaries system of
modern terminals for the prompt and
economical handling Of freight to and
from the craft which may ply on
these rivers.
2. Resolved, that we encourage the
different cities in providing such mod
ern terminals in accordance with a
accepted plan-varied ac-
cording to local needs-which shall
make it possible for freight to be
handled III a practically uniform way
at all points.
3. Resolved, that we keep in touch
with all the ports on such rivers with
the purpose of advising, consulting
and educating those who are building.
or who contemplate building termin-
ais with the above objects in view.
4. Resolved, that a committee OF
five be appointed by this conference,
whose duty it will be to, in co-opera-
ton with the officers, carry on the
work of this league. as outlined In
these resolutions.
5. Resolved, that in carrying on the
work Of this league we enlist the CO.
,neration of the various waterway
now existant, and that
we in turn give to them our support
In their undertakings.
6. Resolved, that the plan and
scope of this league be enlarged so
nat we may obtain more direct and
definite results from the effort In,
augurated.
