The army was the very place for him.
1t exceeded his widest expectations. He
was made a lieutenant at the very start.
and after that, as a reward for his deeds
of ValOr and his many helpful sugges-
tions to his commanding Officers as to
how to manage the army, he was rapidly
made captain, colonel and then general.
Perhaps his proudest moment was when
his former employer, Arbuckle Ponders

for sleeping on sentry duty

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo. which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively,
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

.The City nf Masks.c

New York is not merely a meltinl
pot for the poor and the humble oI
lands of the earth. In THE City OF
Masks as described by George Bari
McCutcheOn, there are hundreds OF
men and women in whose veins the
blood of a sound aristocracy flows
who by choice or necessity have
donned the mask of obscurity. 1t is
of the high-born who dwell in low
places. that this tale is told.
And a most amusing tale it is-a
truly unusual and delightful bit of
fancy built upon fact. The reader is
in the confidence of these interest
ing foreigners and laughs to think
how differently people would act if
they knew who these men and women
were.
There is the marchioness who is a
fashionable dressmaker; the princess
who runs a pawn shop; the prince
who is an antique dealer; the lord
who serves as a chauffeur and is in
love with a titled English girl who
as a governess: and you
never stop reading for a minute until
you wave farewell to Lord and Lady
Temple as their ocean liner sets out
for England.

The men in the S. A. T. c. are strict
