Now that the Senate Military
Committee has succeeded in having
the Secretary of War show his hand
to the enemy and thus endanger the
lives of oar soldiers, and at the same
time have exposed their ignorance
and demonstrated their unfitness for
the positions they hold if, they will
resign and let their places be filled
by those who have sense enough to
investigate where an investigation
is thought necessary, without taking
the enemy into their confidence they
will confer a favor on the American
people who think President Wilson
and Mr.. Baker would be better off

Be Careful.

Don't let thirty cent cotton be-
guile You into planting too much
of the staple this year. No matter
what you get for your cotton, if you
do not plant foodstuff and have to
buy at the price it is likely to be
next fall, you may come out at the
little end of the horn. And then
there is the boil weevil to contend
with. He is not dead, just sleep
ing, and is likely to awake in time
to eat that cotton crop. Plant
SEINE cotton but be sure you have
arranged to feed your own family
and several across the water first.
You know foodstuff is going to be
high, so if you have plenty for your
own use and to sell, you will be all
right, regardless of the price of cot
ton, but if you plant no foodstuff,
even should you succeed in raising
big crop of cotton and get big
price for it you might still be in a
bad fix for if all plant cotton, food
stuff cannot be had at any price.

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at S1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimpfes
hlackheads, blotches, eczema and ring-
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
'anliseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trife for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
