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 Csc, or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zerno generally removes pin1ples, black
heads, blotches. eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither stic'.y nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. 1t is
always dependable.

AIR CUNSIDAMACE
MANY ALBANY HOMES

ALBANY, Ga, Jan. 11.-Christmas
is having an unpleasant aftermath in
this community by reason of damage
done and danger impending, due to
the use of rifles in the hands of small
boys. Many boys, it seems, got %
rifles or air rifles for Christmas pres
ents, and ever since the police have
received numerous complaints. Dam
age done to the windows of school
building, as an instance, by these
small rifles, amounted to $15. Several
private homes have been fired into and

L.. P. Jones, manager of Jones'

against him by Ed. Rudolph, an auto
dealer of Phoenix. Jones was In
debted to Rudolph in their regular
course of business and dispute arose
between them as to the correctness
of the amount Rudolph claimed he
owed him. Through an authorized
agent of Rudolph compromise was
effected and Jones. accordingly, is
sued a check in payment in full.
Later, Rudolph discovered that his
books called for some three hundred
and odd dollars more which had been
overlooked, and held up Jones check
for two months, insisting on payment
of the newly discovered balance. He
then brought suit against Jones. The
court, in awarding verdict to Jones,
held that inasmuch as Rudolph kept
a supposedly competent set of books
that it devolved upon him to know
how much was owing him at the time
of an agreed settlement.

TOMBSTONE AFTER SCALP OF
HUNTS DRAFT APPOINTEE

Citizens of Tombstone are going to
try to have the appointment of Cap
tain George p. Henderson as disburs-
ing officer for the draft by Governor
Hunt to succeed F. S. Breen, vacated.
They maintain that Henderson is
not a proper person to be appointed
at this time to a position of this kind
on account of an alleged pro-German
attitude.
There is much talk of a petition be-
ing circulated asking for his removal
in the county seat 1t is alleged that
Henderson refused to fly an American
flag on his house or in his yard when
asked to do so by the patrioticacitizens
of Tombstone, and that he told his
children, who were going to the pub
lie school, that they did not have to
salute the American flag when asked
to do so by the teachers in the exer-
cises with the other children. 1t is on
account of these alleged acts that the
citizens of the county seat are indig-

A FAMILY

Also in my mothers home, when l

caused by constipation, she gave US
q dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg

we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for 1t certainly has saved US lots Of

Thedford's Black-Draught has been

now enjoys Is proof Of its merit
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree

trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been

over central and southern Arizona last
Sunday. The rain was the first

that had been anxiously awaited by

most no rain had fallen since last Sep

Crisis of War Here,
Henderson Declares

LONDON, Thursday, March 14.-The
most critical stage of the whole history
Of the war has been reached, in the
opinion of Arthur Henderson, secretary
of the Labor party, which not -ong ago
at Mr.. Henderson's suggestion Endorsed
the Bolshevk principles. Speaking in
London at a woman sutfragist celebra-
tion to-day, Mr.. Henderson said:
81 have been imagining during the last
few days, having regard to what has
taken place in Russia, that some Ger
man emissary might come along and
say: Why do we fight? Why cannot
we settle it? We are prepared to come
to compromise with you regarding
colonies and we are prepared TO make
considerable concessions to France with
reference to AlsaceLorraine.
"That would be a cynical peace, con-
tanning the seeds Of future war. 1t
would not be clean peace, and it
would not be an honorable peace. 1t
would be desertion Of Russia, and the
women of this country must stand
against it like flint.
1--WE are anxious for peace, and the
sooner it comes the better. But let me
the ideals for which we entered the
war. No one deplores more than l the
collapse of Russia, but believe that it
does not represent a majority of the
Russian people. The Russian people
were very anxious for peace. am
anxious for peace. but never in anv
speech that have made or in any sug.
gestion that l made privately have
committed myself to a position similar
to that in Russia.

Women Doctors Want
More Clinics Abroad

Two thousand women physicians,
with their aids in the American Wom-
ems Hospitals organization, will inau-
gurate on March 26 a drive to raise
funds throughout the country for the
establishment in the Allied countries
of clinics stated entirely by women.
Temporary headquarters for the drive,
which will continue ten days, we're
established yesterday at GIG Madison
Avenue, with DR.. Gertrude A. Walker
as chairman of committee which in
Philip Lydig and Mrs. James Lees
Laidlaw
The women's hospitals are intended
to serve the women and children, in
Guiding dependents of soldiers, in the
devastated regions of Europe. They
will also care for wounded and disabled
fighting men.
A statement issued yesterday by DR..
Walker says that to enable women ply
sicians and surgeons to go abroad in
large numbers an immense fund is
necessary, and the womanhood of
America is called upon to respond. The
need for help is said to be especially
great in Italy, Serbia and Palestine.
Among the New York women who
have volunteered for the campaign are
Miss Emily Butler, Mrs. Z. NJ. House,
Mrs. Henry Wise Wood, Mrs. Z. j..

Foes Propaganda
Blamed for Tales
Of Army Drinking
j. A. Whitmore, Back From
Front, Praises Americas
Fighting Men

"By their moral conduct, their obedi-
ence to discipline and their cheerful
ness under hardships, the American
soldiers now in France are an inspir-
ing example to the soldiers of all the
Allies. The stories circulated at home
that our soldiers abroad are succumb-
ing to disease, liquor and detection
are part Of the subtle pro- German
propaganda which is spread in this
country for only one purpose. That
purpose is to alarm the parents of our
boys and to discourage more Americans
from going to France"
SO declared James A. Whitmore, who
recently returned from the front, in
an address delivered yesterday before
500 members of the Lawyers Club, lis
Broadway. AS field ngent of the
National War Work Council, Mr.. Whit
more lived for weeks among the Ameri-
can, French and British soldiers. The
gist of his experience is, "The Ameri
can soldier is to-day the greatest in
low soldiers from the Allied countries
have"
try that America will win this war;"
continued Mr.. Whitmore. "But | want
to tell you that America alone will not
win this war. 1t will be won only by
all the Allies fighting together. When
| returned here from abroad I was
shocked by the lack of realization
war means. The tendency here seems
to be to think of it for time md then
to say: We'll. on with the dance, let
JOY be unconfned.' That is a pity We
will have to wake up.
"No doubt many American parents
have been made uneasy by this Ger
man propaganda that our boys in
France are addicted to all sorts of i'm
morality Let me cite an instance to
set them at ease. In Paris the Y. M
G. A. has charge of hotel where $50
American soldiers are accommodated
nightly. Most of the men who sleep
there come to Paris on leave and can
do as they please. l was ten days in
that hotel, and never among the $50
American accommodated nightly did
see one man come in under the inhu-
ence of liquor.
"As for their physical condition, the
American troops are as clean and
healthy body Of men as you could
find anywhere in the world"
William Allen Butler, president of
the club, appealed for enlistments in
the newly reorganized 7th Regiment,
The old regiment is now known as the
10th Infantry in the regular army.
The new regiment, Mr.. Butler said. is
to be used for home defence. and ef-
forts are being made to increase the
present membership of G6O men to 900.
The Rev. Isaac J. Lansing spoke on
The Antagonism of German Political
Philosophy to Christian Truth and
Morals" He described as "a vain
dream" any hope that the German peo-
pie would revolt against the Kaiser. and
asserted that all factions in GERMANY
were united with the military party to
make Germany ga pirate among na-
tions, murderer, a monster.o
