1t is not a question of becoming
used to wheat substitutes, but we
must realize that the time for idle
prejudice and idle talk has gone. 1t
is a question of life and death for
our soldiers that we eat other cere-
ais and send the wheat to them.
Cooks of America, line UP in the
ranks of the secret service. You do
not hear an employe of that branch
of the service TALKING about his
work. But he gets results. So can

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 35c, or
extra large bottle at S100.
Zemo generally removes pimples
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is 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.

ent time. Ohlcer Michael Donlon, re-
signed last Saturday TO take a posi-
tion as boilermaker.
Some idea OF the opportunities for
bettering their condition presented TO
the police officers was demonstrated on
Monday when an official OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company called the
police department and requested the
of1cers TO secure two men with police
experience % serve as guards for that
company. The wages. 1t was stated,
would be $50 a month and the work
would continue indefinitely. Other po-
sitions that are being offered men Of
the department are those Of guards
at building operations and shipyards,
all OF which pay from S. TO 81 a day
with but eight hours work.
Offlcer Brown, whose resignation
went In today, rendered his resignation
two weeks ago but he withdrew 1t at
that time, when IL became kncwn that
the department members were going
to ask City Council TO grant them a
wage Increase. When II became known
today that Oflcer Brown had resigned
other officers openly stated that they
proposed seeking employment at other
work and would do so at once.
It was stated at the meeting OF Coun-
Gil last night that one reason no action
was taken by the Councilmen was be-
cause Councilman Robertson chairman
OF the finance committee. was out Of
the city. This fact. according TO the
police, did not alter their position, they
contenting that Council I'm passing the
police payroll last night at the old flg-
ure made It plain that the proposed
Increase in wages they sought would
not be granted this month, and they
were compelled TO meet the high cost Of
living today as we'll as next month.
The petition presented to the Coun-
cilmen last week, asking for the 5000
a year increase, was signed by every
member Of the department and, as was
explained by the police officers who
comprised the delegation, at that time,
the city at the present time would be
compelled to contribute only $3.50 ad-
ditional this year 10 meet the wage
Increase. The two score or more va
cancies existing leave the department
about s2s 600 nnexpended which would
nearly meet the wage increase for this
year.
At the end Of the last fiscal year, the
police department turned back to the
city treasurer about $4,000, which
represented wages that would have been
paid officers had the department been
nlled TO its quota.
The schedule OF wages which Coun-
Gil has been asked to allow the de-
partment provides for a flve and one
half cent increase per hour and the
minimum wage under such a scale
would then be 32 cents an hour for
first year patrolmen and az cents for
the police captains which is still
below the scale paid laborers in in
dustrial plants in this city.
