For Burning Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 35c, or Sl.00 for
extra large size, get q bottle of zeno.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
heals skin troubles, also sores, burns,
woundsand chafnq. 1t penetrates, cleanses
and soothes. Zemo is a clean, dependable

SCHOOL OFFICIALS
meet TO CONSIDER
LOCATING BUILDING

Committees from the school boards
OF Dublin, and Camridge City will be
asked to meet with jackson township
officials to consider the high school
situation in the near future. County
Superintendent Williams said today.
The meeting has been postponed un-
til after the adjournment of the legis-
lature because there were over q hun
dred and fifty school bills presented
some of which would, affect the Jack
son township situation. Practically all
the school bills have been or will be
killed.
There are three proposals which
will be brought to the attention of the
meeting of Representatives of the three
corporations.
Discuss Joint School.
The first is the establishment of a
joint high school at central location
for Dublin, Cambridge City and Jack
son township, leaving the common
schools as they are in the three cor
porations. The high school would be
divided into two distinct parts, voca-
tional and classical.
The second is for Dublin and Cam
bridge City to build joint high
school, leaving Jackson township out.
The third is for the schools to con-
tinue as they are. Under such cir
cumstances, Cambridge City will erect
new high school building immediate
