Mr.. HaZen belongs to the handshak-
ing school OF candidates. and among
those In the game of getting public Of
fee his handshaking technique is dis
cussed with fine discrimination. He
prefers the lingering clasp rather than
the shiyering type. His hand, how
ever. is plump and warm. and can be
used effectively in both methods.
In Indiana where every third man
is an officeholder. an ex -officeholder
or candidate. the shivering hand

Is preferred, and has made Indiana ia
nous as the home Of great officehold-
ers
The shivering shake IN question
gives the voter a sort of electrical
massage, awakening, by gentle trem-
ors his political soul. and as the agita-
ton is increased 1t fuses him to the
candidate who administers the gentle
vibration.
Mr. Hazen's method is to grasp the
hand Of the citizen, look into his eyes,
and gently caress the voter with his
left hand.
Men who have worked In a livery
stable often do this handshake we'll

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, blotches and
other skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pirn-
pies, rashes, black heads in most cases
give way to zelno. Frequently, minor
blernishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean. easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
