ventilation and finally by taking off
the sash.
A surface hotbed does not have a
pit; the manure is spread in inch
layers ? or feet wider and longer
than the frame. Each layer is tramp
ed down, the frame is set on top, and
the sides and ends are banked with
manure. Rich soil is put in, and this
hotbed IS handled like a pit hotbed.

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irri-
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for 35c or ST bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy
ing liquid, is all that is needed, for 1t
banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20.-The Unit
ed Mine Workers, having ratified the
Washington wage agreement FOR btu
m!nous coal miners late Saturday, will
take up tomorrow the compact by
which the anthracite men received

President Gompers of the american
Federation of Labor is expected here
to address the miners Tuesday. There
is a movement on foo. to hold the next

Churches throughout the city gencr-

possible yesterday, and in many in
stances curtailed the number Of ser
vices and shortened .he periods of wor-
ship. There was considerable confusion
churches, and most of them decided
the matter themselves.
The Cathedral Of St. olln the Divine
has a limited supply of fuel, and the
number of services was cut down, while
the temperature was kept as low as
possible. The cathedral plant heats
also the synod hall. the deanery, the Of

tons of coal yesterday, instead Of the
ten tons that is necessary ordinarily,
the Cardinals residence, the rectory,
the school and the cathedral. Such
low temperature was maintained that
some Of the pipes burst in the cathe-

Presbyterian churches kept the tenn
perature 10 degrees below normal

Freight Tie-Up Greater
Thar, Expected

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20 Railroad Of
ticals tonight seem confident that
during the next two days Of the close
down they will be able to relieve to a
greater extent the congestion at the
terminals here than had been expect
ed. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
brought 500 cars of general freight and
coal for placement tomorrow, which
is Il greater number than has been
placed in any one day for some time
The Pennsylvania Railroad figures on
emptying 1000 of the 1900 cars in it's
yards and terminals here before
Wednesday.
1t is calculated that, under favor
able weather conditions such as pre-
vailed yesterday and to-day in Mary
land. some 27,000 tons of coal should
reach here by Wednesday. The Penn
syvania has placed one-day embargo
on all freight receipts so as to clear
up the situation. Ships are being
bunkered rapidly and several more
have cleared.
