NEW INDUSTRY FOR MANCHES.
TER.

y
Mr.. w. B. Hawkes. of st. Louis, Mo-,
is In the city, and is now perfecting
final plans for the opening Of the
Manchester Sanitary Rendering plant.
He has leased the ground on which
has been located the Work slaughter
house north of Manchester, and will
at once begin the erection of suit
able buildings to house the new
machinery which will be here in a
few days.
Since this country has entered the
world war. the government has in
augurated numerous means OF con-
serving valuable products of one
kind or another. People generally
may not know that there is valu-
able by-product in dead animals. Mr..
Hawks has been connected with pack
ing plant industries in st. Louis for
many years, and of late years he has
travelled for manufacturing COM
pany of st. Louis and has been sell
ing machinery used in Sanitary Rem
dering plants.
From the dead animals he will
get greases, and by chemical process
es he will be able to get from these
greases glycerine, which the govern
ment needs very much in the manu-
facture of explosives. In addition
to getting the glycerine for the gov
ernment he will convert the other
parts of the dead animals into tank
age for hog feed and fertilizer.
Mr.. Hawks expects to have his plant
in operation by October 1st, and will
be ready to pick up animals within a
radius of twenty miles from Manches-
ter. He has purchased motor truck,
and all that the farmer has to do to
dispose of his dead animals is to
phone to the Rendering plant and the
truck will be on hand at once.
Mr.. Hawks visited Manchester a
few weeks ago, and took up the prop
osition with Manchester business
men and leased the ground at that
time. He comes here on his own in
itiative, feeling confident that there
is an opportunity in Delaware county
for a successful rendering establish
ment. In future issues of The DEM
ocrat Mr.. Hawks will make a more
detailed announcement as to his
plant.
He has leased residence in Man
chester and has come to make his
home among us. Manchester people
will cordially welcome Mr.. and Mrs.
Hawks and their daughter, the latter
of whom is already enrolled in the
city schools.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies. rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
