thought he left the house more than
twelve hours earlier. He had been

to my wife for four years.

search it was said, and the city po-
lice have already been notified. The
friends and relatives of the man are

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for 35c or 81 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, salts.
flying liquid, is all that is needed, for it
banishes most skin eruptions, makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy

MORE HOGS OR A LONGER WAR.

We who live inland, have been ex :
trtmely slow to get a full understand
ing of the gravity of the situation
which this dreadful war has placed US
IN. To many Of US the war has thus
far amounted to little more than news
paper stories OF battles in foreign coun-
tries, but to put il mildiy,It he situation
Is grave and 1t behocves Us to cid our
armies in every possible way to end
the war as quickly as possible. Our
armies are now threatened with a short
age Of pork which would seriously
hsndicar theii effectiveness.
1t is imperative that we do to the
limit of our ability. everything that
our country asks of us. If we are cali
ed to fight, we will be patriots and
viii respond: II we are called to feed
our soldiers and our allies, we will b..
equally patriotic
Just now our country Is asking far
m"rs to increase the surpiy of pork as
that is one CT the main necessities OF
our armies and those of our allies. VIZ
face an alarming shortage of pork and
fats. Last year our experts of porl,
were three times as great as normal.
This large export WAS made without
being based upon any great increase
IN production, hence our supply is very
low
The CAST OF the whole matter is this:
Every American farmer is urged to
raise more pigs nest spring To do this
he must breed every sow and gilt that
is by any means fit Considering the
grave situation it is almost treason
able to 'atten and sell sows and gifts
that might raise filters If pigs. we are
asked to save al such and to breed
them as quickly as possible If they
cannot be. ored to f. rrow IN March or
April, they should still be bred am
time in January as that viii insure
pigs before June first witch is fairly
good
This is not an unreasonable request
rs good prices have been assured by
The Government
II we Will all do our best we can
bring the war to an end in Europe but
II we fail, the fighting may soon be on
American soil.
Let us all do our patriotic duty.
