Heal Skin Diseases

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zeze,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
S1.00 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. 1t is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it
today and save all further distress.

Kansas has the opportunity to learn her
final lesson in thrift If cdr people will

Kansas people practice diligently most

North Side NeUUs
FOR new FLYER!
E'Manless" Airplane Is Rapidly
Becoming IA Reality.
Indian Greek Grange Fair
Opens North Of City.

The "AIanless Airplane," projected
by two North Topekars, is rapidly be-
coming an actuality. The machine is
benz constructed at the l<Opseker-
Miller shop on North Kansas avenue.
where several flying machines have
been turned out in the last few years.
The wings of the new death spreader
VIII measure twenty-nine feet from
tip to tip. They are complete, as in
the framework of the body and the
fusilage for the motto.
The hoped for success of this new
flying machine is based on expert
ments carried out by J. Herbert Jones
and r. J.. Robinson, the inventors The
experiments have led to the most
optimistic predictions. The vital NOV
ing parts of the plane are yet to be
made. and the type of motor to be
used has not been decided upon.
Kopseker and Miller now have in
their shop various completed parts for
three airplanes. They have postponed
work on their own new triplane to
complete the manless machine as soon
as possible.
