ASK YOUR FRIEND

There is hardly a neighborhood in
any city, town or hamlet in the United
States where women cannot be found
who have derived benefit from Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than forty years this botanic
remedy has been overcoming some of
the worst cases of female ills. AS one
woman has found help she has told
another, who has. used it with the
same result; so the use of this great
medicine has spread from shore to
shore by the recommendation of those
who have found it good. Therefore,
ask your neighbor, let her tell you
from experience the benefit which all
ing women derive from the use of this
famous medicine.

CENTRAL EMPIRES
HOPE FOR PEACE
Teutons Renew Plans to Have
Warning Nations Begin
Negotiations

Berlin, April 3-via London-The
proposal of Count Won Czernin. Aus
trian foreign minister, that a peace
conference be held by belligerents
without requiring the cessation of hos
tilities apparently represents the atti-
tude of all the Central governments.
Count Czernin's proposal was not only
sanctioned by Austria and her allies
but, will shortly be formally approved
at a-conference of high personages at
Berlin representing the four countries.
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
Count CzeTnins statement would
not have been made if he had not pre-
viously obtained an assurance that 1t
would meet with the approval of his
allies. This agreement will presently
be affirmed by a conference at Berlin.
If our enemies refuse to accept this
opportunity the responsibility will be
theirs. We are ready to hold out and
the coming conference will emphasize
this great distinctness."

Clears Complexion

Don't worry about biotches or other
kin troubles. You can have clear,
lean complexion by using little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 25c, or
EXTRA large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, blotches, eczema,
and ringworm and makes the skin clear
and healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrat-
iDg, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs a mere tribe for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
