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
$lOO 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 chafng.
It penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is clean, dependable and mex
pensive, penetrating, antiscptic liquid.
Try it, as We believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.

FOOD PRICES SOAR AS FEDERAL
CONTROLS CONSIDERED
With government officials promul-
eating plans for federal control Of
food supplies, prices continued to
soar to unprecedented heights today.
Wheat futures opened strong, with
May bringing $2.O212 per bushel in
the pit, the highest price since 1869.
Corn and oats also opened strong
and with good gains. Cash wheat
ranged as high as S2.11H, while
sales of cash corn went to $1.3O,
high figure for the generation.
Following the upward trend of the
hog market, provisions registered
steady gains. May pork was 1855
and July S34.85 per Dbl, gain of 20
cents each over yesterdays close.
May lard was up 10 cents and July
20 cents. Ribs also showed good
gains.
The hog market gained impetus
after yesterdays inactivity and
opened strong to Is cents higher.
Top prices were $15.65 per 100 lbs.
on the hoof. Pigs sold at $14.25 per
100. The cattle market was firm,
beeves being quoted at S1S,15 on the
hoOf, the highest known.
Eggs sold at retail from SO to 80
cents per dozen, an unusual figure
for this time of the year. Large guam
titles are being placed in storage by
spectators, reports state. Live
chickens are from % to rs cents per
pound, also the highest ever known,
Flour today was quoted at 5000
per Dbl, the highest this season for
Minneapolis patents. Raw sugar

INCREASE TAXES AT ONCE TO
RAISE BIG WAR FUND
Washington, April 5.-The country
will have to spend not less than
100000 for its first year Of war.
This is the sum the administration is
said to have agreed will be necessary.
The money will be secured as
much as possible by additional taxes,
though it is expected that both long
and short term bond will be issued
very soon.
The fiscal program calls for ma
terial increase in the income tax rate
and a reduction of the exemption
amount to include incomes as low as
81 800 a year. Tax rate is expected
to range from per cent on $500
incomes to so per cent on big in
comes. If war lasts more than a
year all incomes over 100000 a year
may be confiscated.
Price fixing Of war supplies and
possibly Of foodstuffs will be estab-
Hshed.
The government today served no
tice on a naval manufacturer that his
bid on a large order Of war supplies
was unsatisfactory. He was quoted
a figure far lower than his bid and
told If he did not accept it that his
plant would be taken over and oper-
ated by the government.
Sec'y McAdoo has been assured by
congress leaders that they can put
through any fiscal program the ad-
ministration desires.

As a direct slap at marriage slack
ers' the government will automatically
appeal from every exemption on tho

will be designated to make this appeal
to protect the governments interests.
This designation (of . party repre-

viii Appeal Exemptions.
This person" it was explained, may
appeal exemptions or discharges on
other grounds besides dependency II he
thinks injury to other registrants or to
the government makes such appeal de-
sirable." 49, Nv.
The purpose of the appeals is to OBJ

ton rulings, which Is regarded a.
otherwise impossible from 1857 local
boards. -E ~
All registrants are invited by General
Crowder to report any improper ex-
emptions. .. b. -.'u
Discussing Industrial exemptions,

boards were "powerless to relieve cases
in which private loss or hardship rath-

10000 Held For Evasion.
Approximately 10000 persons have
been arrested thus far in the United
States by agents Of the department Of
justice for refusing to register on June
5 in accordance with the terms Of the
draft act. Most of those arrested, 1t
became known, have been convicted
and are serving sentences.
Ever since June 5, registration day,
the department of justice has been
quietly at work all over the country
rounding up slackers. The roundup Is
still on.
The arrests cover cases where there
was plain evidence Of an intent to
evade the law. In a majority Of cases
there was concerted action by groups
of individuals made up chiefly of So
cialists and I. W. w. members.
