Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere trifle for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

dent OF victory. How long it will
take we can only hope, but the
ready wit and indomitable spirit of
the |. 5. army men is sure to domi-
nate. Let US hope the kaiser will
soon realize this and give up in de
Spair.
In regard to our social treatment
since leaving home: In the camps
in the East we were treated with
hospitality that cannot be spoken
OF too highly. The people seemed
to enjoy the easy and free manner
OF the western boys, and in many
cases treated us almost as one OF
the family. At Camp Greene they
showed a form OF hospitality known
only to the people OF the South.
Speaking OF chow, will just say that
l-hnd there are lots OF people who
know just what boys like. Here. OF
course, we cannot talk the language
and, as we are here on urgent bust
ness, most OF us make no attempt at
Sociability, but use every effort to
