And we thank Him for his grace"

While expressing regret at the
necessity for his action, Mr.. Benson
declared the attitude of the Social

cularly as expressed by the "St.

Mrs. Kate A. Long. of Lititz. Lam

teresting statement. in regaSo 20
what Tonall accomplished in her
case:
"Giddy, weak stomach, as we'll as
rheumatism, held me fast for long
time. How 1 suffered. Stiff and
achy were my limbs and joints most
of the time. Food would cause me to
swell up with gas. Poisons from un-
digested food filled my whole system.
Mr.. j. e. Charles, Druggist, at
Lititz, Pa, told me the truth when
he said Tonall would help me. 1t
certainly did, as eat better, sleep
better and have no more rheuma-
tism.
"Tonall has done more for me
than any physician has ever done.

Twins Complicate
Family Allotment
OF Marine Recruit

Stockton, Cal.-When is first
child" not first child?" This is the
question that has been causing Ser
geant r. r. Mergenthal of the Unit
ed States marine corps recruiting
station to spend sleepless nights
lately.
George Hadley of Kansas City, ap-
piled to Mengenthal for enlistment.
When Hadley informed him that he
was married and had two children,
Mergenthal told him that he would
draw $32.5O for a family allotment,

namely, SIS for his wife, $40 for his
first child and $3.50 for his second
child. But Hadley insisted in $35.
How do you figure that?" aueried
Mergenthal
well, my youngsters are twins. so
how are you going to figure the first
child? They both come under the
$40 head" answered Hadley.
'I give up" declared Mergenthal,
after puzzling over 1t for few.
hours. The question has been put
up to the authorities at washington.

IT has not righted itself. I therefore

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,
