What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for Csc or
sl.OO for extra large size, get bottle
of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and chaflng.
It penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is a clean, dependable and mex
pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid
Try it. as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.

IOWA pREaa COMMENT.

IOWA PRE9S COMMENT.
Sioux City Journal: The silent
sentinals' assigned to picket duty in
front OF the white house are giving
the suffrage cause some OF the least de-
sirable advertising it has ever receiv-
ed in this country. The normal prob
ability is that the net result OF their
=. y. advised activity viii be pre1udiclaf
to the cause they are trying to pro-
mote.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The river
cities, we hear from the Sioux City
Journal. are not greatly worried about
the Webb-kenyon decision--they can
carry their stuffs across the rivers.
But what about it IL the legislature
should decide to place an inspector on
each bridge and at each boat landing.
When legislatures go cunning for bad
men they have been known to do even
more radical things than that. A law
maker who has the bug in his head is
not afraid to tackle anything.

for the Iowa legislature. the attorney
general and the United States supreme
court to get into action before inaug-
urating vigorous measures to suppress

work OF developing a strain OF hens
that will possess the admirable quail
titles Of all other hens. The hen want
ed is one whose mind will run more
in the direction of business through

PORK BOOSTERS ARE SCARED.

The 1917 pork barrel begins to shink In size
and, at the same time to take on phantom
transparency There may not be any pork bar
rel fortnight hence. The reason for this de
cline is not that the rapacious pork congress
men have reformed but that the country is be-
ginning to grow WISE The public has howled.
Facing treasury deficit of untold millions
probably four hundred-the congressman
were nonchalantly going ahead with their plans
for the dredging of creeks and the building of
marble postoffice buildings in hidden townships
of the home districts. Then came the treasury.
departments wall, and a call for new and
heavier taxes; the taxpayer heard, and he was
angry.
The income tax has been doubled the long
dreaded sale Of Panama canal bonds is at hand
the so-called war taxes remain, and new levies
on everything taxable are being planned by the
legal lights of the administration In this plight
the country won't tolerate even paltry hun
bred millions worth Of congress ional stealing,
and congress knows it. President Wilson
never will have a chance to veto the public
buildings bill.
Speaking Of the public buildings bill, which
represents about third of the pork program in
this session, the treasury department has re-
ported that there are two hundred and six
tv-nine public buildings yet to be built from
earlier appropriations. Congress has been ap-
propriating money faster than it could be
spent. 1t sometimes takes long time to assem-
bic fifty thousand dollars worth of granite
and steel at remote crossroads town which
has been honored with federal appropriation.
