CLOSE TWO KANSAS BAKERIES
Pcnalized for Violations of the Food
Administration Rules.

Wichita, Kan, June S.-Two KAN
sas bakeries were ordered by Federal
Food Administrator w. p. Innes today
to cease baking all products except
bread and rolls, pending an investiga-
ton into their records.
They are the Moll bakery of Olathe
and the Davis bakery and confection-
cry of Fort Scott. An investigation
will be started at once.
Since May IL the food administra-
ton has required bakers to make
weekly reports to their local or county
administrator showing the amount OK
flour and. substitute used. the amount
bought and the amount on hand. Sew
eral bakers have failed to make prop
er reports and some have used mSre
than their allotment of flour for other
than the purp. 9 of baking bread and
rolls. 1t is alleged the Davis bakery
used more than its allotment of flour.
Several bakers have been called to
account recently and two have been
penalized.
All are being watched closely and
failure to make reports results in
quick trouble. The making of false
reports brings additional trouble.

Heel Ski, Diseases

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotchcs, ringworn, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little ze1e,
obtained at any drug store for Csc, or
$1O0 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It clcanses and
eoothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is wonderful, penetrating, DIS
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. It is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it
today and save all further distress.

of the lady to stand SO long talking to
you in the restaurant where you are
lunching, thus compelling you to stand
while your luncheon became cold and
pnpalatable. She should have either
faken seat at your table-at your in
vitation. of course-so that you both
could sit while you visited; or she
should have limited her conversation
to sentence or two. 1t Is better new
er to stop to speak to a person who Is

her wraps or lay aside her furs, If

OF the war to definite military VIC
tory, the making of just peace, with
adequate provisions to enforce that
peace against all combinations of mill
