Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczemaquickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra

moment zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,
tetter, pimples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, alwaysuse zemo, the

greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable

When people meet these days the
subject of war invariably crops up.
and when one or more Scotsmen are
in the party. the men from the land Of
the heather cannily swerve the subject
TO President Wilson and throw their
chests out as they attribute all of his
hest qualities to his Scotch ances-
try.
They assert that the president is re-
lated to several prominent Scotch fam.
lilies. being descended from Rev. Rob
ert Woodrow, the well-known historian
of the Church of Scotland, whose name
he bears. Another Of the presidents
ancestors was Robert Williamson, n
prominent Glasgow citizen, through
whom he is dstantly related to the
archbishop of York.
