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
$1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces of PIN
pies, black heads, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is neither watery, sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere trife for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

Storm Lake, Jan. 17.-Much politics
was unintentionally injected into the
closing days Of the Buena Vista county
farmers institute which closed in this
city Friday. j. NJ. Pierce, editor of the
Homestead, was asked to address the
institute and instead Of speaking on
farm topics, his paper was an ar
raignment OF all public officials from
township clerks to the executive coun-
ell of Iowa and an attack upon the
state printing and binding proposition
in Iowa, the attack centering upon the
committee on retrenchment and reform
of the state legislature, Of which Sena-
tor J. II. Allen, candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor. was
chairman. and who followed him on
the program. Mr.. Pierce repeal ted the
charges he has made in the Homestead
and insisted that there was graft In
the entire proposition and called upon
the people of Iowa to punish those who
We're responsible, particularly Senator
Allen.
Allen Replies to Pierce.
When Senator Allen was called on
the program he took up the matter Of
the state printing and told of the work
of the committee at some length. He
told Of the exhaustive investigation
made by the committee. of the final
recommendation of that body for the
creation of the document editor. which

$4,000 in six years. instead of the
$4,000 which Mr.. Pierce insists he
could save the state on the printing

occasion to call attention to the fact
that the Homestead had never taken
the trouble to attack any Of the greater
abuses which have cost the state mil
lions of dollars. Senator Allen seemed
to have his audience with him and al
the close of his address was warmly
congratulated.

extended over large section of the

COMING BLUE SUNDAY i70 REOPEN THE Plant
Bell Pre- Bottle Works Expected to
Resume Operations Within
Next Few Days.

s By the purchase yesterday by the
Old Dominion Glass Co. of the build
ings and machinery of the Alexandra
Glass Company, located at the corner
of Fayette and First streets, and the
announcement made today that the
plant Of the Belle Pre-. Bottle Co.,
which has been closed down for the
past two years. would be reopened
next Thursday, there is reason to
believe that the glass industry, one
of Alexandria biggest manufacturing
enterprises which has suffered serl-
Gus setback during the past few years
is to be revived. At the plant OF the
Old Dominion Co., no information
was available as to the plans of the
company in connection with the Alex

tain that the plant will be reopened
IN the fall.
All of the glass plants will close
lown according to their custom at
the end of July for necessary re-
pairs to be made during the sum-
mer months and will open immedia'
tely after Labor Day next September.
