When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irzi.
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and scothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or 81 bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating satisfy
ing liquid, is all that is needed; for it
banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth ard healthy.

do so while unprepared for
such a struggle.
The evidence that Germany
had fighting plans in store for
America is provided by Mr..
Gerard, former ambassador,
and he had his information di-
rect from the kaiser himself.
Not only that but he found the
German nobility in general i'm
bued with the idea that the
United States should be hum
bled as soon as Germany could
find time to do it.
n
These being the facts there
is but one course open to our
country and it consists in see
ing that the war is won and the
insolent, unscrupulous foe de-
prived of power to do further
harm. The conditions are such
that we cannot afford to fail in
any of our efforts and just now
the public's part in the war
consists in taking the second
liberty loan of from three to

into it the desire and dreams

termination to press on to vic
tory, to uphold our President

all these things are bound up
in the real success of the Lib
erty Loan.
We must all stand together
today. Some features of the
loan may not appeal to every
one, there may be inequalities
and there may be things which
some financiers believe could
be better, but let that pass. The
unbiased, deliberate judgment
of our chosen representatives
has been put into this bill, and

SCR0FULA AND

There are many things learned
from experience and observation
that the older generation should
impress upon the younger. Among
them is the fact that scrofuia and
other humors, which produce ec-
zema, boils, pimples and other erup-
tions, are most successfully treated
with Hood s Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine is a peculiar
combination of remarkably effective
blood-purifying and health-giving
roots, barks and herbs, which are
gathered especially for it.

1t Takes Little Effort
to Make Rooms
Restful
By LAURA B. BREEZE. Department Of Far
mer's Institutes, University Of Wisconsin

Being "A room for retirement, for
sleep, for rest" the bedroom should
bring refreShment to the mind no less
than to the body.
This is impossible If the eye is dis
tracted by Overcrowded walls, and
dressing-tables, by busy" wall pa
pers, an obstructive carpet or by a dis
play of frivolous and fancy tritles,
here, there and everywhere.
Such bedrooms are OverdecOrated
and peace and repose are sacrificed.
Your bedroom might express richness
or dignity or daintiness-a room re-
vealing your perSonality-but every
thing should be SubOrdinated to the
one idea of reStfulnesS.
The personal touch is shown in your
smaller decorations: in the pictures
YOU have hung on the walls; in the
empty spaces you have kept from fill
ing up; in the arrangement Of flowers,
the placement Of useful and decorative
articles on the dresser, table and desk,
without overburdening them.
floor coverings, and balanced arrange
mpnt of furniture must be considered
to obtain Il ''restful" appearing room.
The color scheme for this room should
be controlled by its position with ref
erence to sunlight and the size of the
room, aside from the personal prefer
ence for pink or blue or yellow. A
background scheme worked out from
the standard recipe which calls for
middle value walls, lighter ceiling,
and darker floor applies in bedroom
as well as any room. A plain carpet
or rug where design is used in hang
ings is best.
Some General Suggestions.
The plain fiat painted walls in the
old ivory or pretty gray of neutral
tones make a restful background for
bedrooms.
Papers with unobtrusive PATTERNS
can be satisfactorily used by refrain
ing from using many pictures.
The walls may be panelled into very
artistic effects without much expense.
Pretty, simple, stencil borders for
panels might be worked out by an anna
teur who is little skillful.
Old and odd pieces of furniture
might be painted to harmonic with
the wall color scheme and in this way
provided for at little cost.

Danger From Poisonous Plants.

Several varieties of plants that are
poisonous to live stock grow in wild
pastures and are sometimes seen in
tame grass pastures. In Wisconsin
the securing rush, water hemlock, and
wild cherry are the most common.
When there is plenty of feed, animals
exercise considerable discretion in Sc
lecting what they eat, but when for
age is scarce they will consume plants
that would otherwise be refused. Elk
perience shows that poisoning occurs
most often when cattle and sheep are
changed from dry feed to pasture. To
prevent poisoning and to reduce the
danger from bloat which is likely to
occur when a sudden change is made
from a dry ration to pasture, or from
poor pasture to better one, or from
grass to clover or alfalfa, full feed
Of dry roughage should be given before
turning out the stock; then allow them
to remain on the pasture for q short
time only each day for q week.
