Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemO
furnished by any druggist for Csc. Extra
large bottle, $1.00 Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, tetter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

zone day he came down to the office
with a queer looking package. When
he uncovered it it was found to be a
secondhand clarinet, and almost be-
fore we knew how he was spending his
spare time he was giving us something
that sounded like a cross between
America and Marching Through

ty of persistence and he stuck to his
clarinet despite the fact that his folks
threatened to chase him up in the attic
of his home. He'd bring the thing down
TO the office now and then and let out
blast that caused general consterna-

However, Melville managed to at

DOVER MERCHANTS STILL
AGITATED OVER BLUE LAW
OPPOSED TO SUNDAY CLOSING
THEY PROPOSE TESTING 1T
Insist That if its Right for Dover to
RigidIY Observe, it is Right for all
Delaware Communities as Well

A reaction against the Sunday
Closing Crusade in Dover has set in
at last, and from present indications
it bids fair to either end the reform
in this community, or to extend the
rigid enforcement of the old Blue Law
to every community in the State, says
the Wilmington Sunday Star: For
several months the merchants of Dover
have been prohibited from selling ice
cream, soda water. candy, cigars or
any other commodity of like nature
on Sunday, and they have borne pa.
tiently with it in the expectation that
the law was to be similarly enforced
in other towns and cities in Delaware,
inasmuch as it is a State Law. When
it became apparent, however, that the
authorities had no intention of enfOrc-
ing old antiquated law in other COM
munities, the merchants of Dover
directly affected by the enforcement
of the law, including all the local
druggists, the station master, restaur-
ant keeper and newsdealer, penned q
letter to the Attorney General, Wig
orously protesting against a state of
affairs which permitted other Della
ware merchants living under the same
State laws to enjoy privileges that are
denied to them.
Not a Local Matter, Merchants Say
The Dover merchants have made il
plain that unless the rigid enforcement
of the OLD laws is discontinued il
Dover, they will undertake to see that
it shall include all other towns in tht
State. The Attorney General states
that it is a local matter, but if {
petition is sent to his office requesting
him to enforce the laws pertaining tt
Sunday closing in Wilmington anC
other towns he will be duty bound tt
do it, as that was precisely the way
the crusade started in Dover.
Warning Stirred up Much Friction
"a few weeks ago the State Detec
tive called up the local merchants OF
the telephone and warned each of then
that they must strictly abide by tn,
Sunday Closing Law. he having beel
instructed by the Attorney General
Office in Kent county to give then
such warning. AS the merchants hal
already been abiding by the law, de
spite the fact that it meant loss o
much business to them, which busines
was simply diverted to the merchant
of nearby towns. this seemingly un
necessary warning aroused their ire
and they held an Indignation meetin
at which time it was decided that the
should no longer consent to the unfai
discrimination against them, and ths
they would insist upon the same priv
ileges being extended to them tha
are enjoyed by other Delaware mer
chants.
Now Propose Test Case in Court
"That is the present status of tn
crusade. The local merchants hav
determined that they will carry tn
fight to the last ditch. If it become
necessary to carry test case to tn
State courts they will do so, and
the State courts render a decisio
that the old Sunday Closing laws sha
be rigidly enforced in Dover, the
steps will be taken to see that the
are rigidly enforced in every Delawal
community, and that the enforcemer
shall inclued Sunday newspapers ar
gasoline as we'll as ice cream. soc
water, cigars, etc. F."
