To O0ercon1e Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c. Ex-
ira large bottle, $l00. Healing begins
the moment zemo is applied. In short
time usually every trace of eczema tet-
ter, pimples, rash, black heads and sim
liar skin diseases will be removed
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zeno, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

If Farmer Jones hasn't enough
horses to pillow his land, he must
receive enough horses, and terms
must be found on which he can get
them without mortgaging his future
life and his hopes of heaven.
Chambers of commerce, bankers
associations and business men in
general are being urged to see that
the farms are properly manned. Par
ticUlarIy in this urging coming from
the biggest financial institution in
the United States-the National City
Bank of New York.
From the March letter of this great
bank we quote these sentences:
THE time to deal with next win
ter's food riots, next winters propOs-
ais for an embargo and other wild
Legislation, and next winters de-
mands for higher wages, is now.
1T would be well if a survey were
made this spring Of crop prospects
in every agricultural county Of the
country.
''The question of facilitating pro-
duction comes down at last to the
situation of each farmer; does he
need anything required for his work
seed, a horse, an implement, tenn
porary assistance, or even advice
which a community organization
might provide?
eff chambers of commerce, bank
ers' association and other local or
CARNATIONS of business men will take
the situation in hand in a formative
way, they can do more to safeguard
the prosperity Of the country than
can be done at this time by any other
effort
There is no danger of overriding
production, for the largest possible
crop in this country is certain to
bring remUnerative prices.
eff the war ends at any time before
the crop of 1919 is harvested, there
