msterdam.-Caught at Zevenaar
by special agent of the Hague police,
while she was attempting to smuggle
into Germany eleven large boxes said
to contain underclothes, shoes, coffee,
tea and other foodstuffs, Countess Won
Platen has been held at Anthem court.
The countess had carefully prepared
for her encounter with the custom
authorities by telephone message
supposedly from the foreign office at
the Hague, and a telegram from the
local German consul asking for con-
siderate treatment; but the special
agent arrived in time to overrule
these instructions and insisted on
examining the countess luggage
where he found the contraband.

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 Csc, or
extra large bottle at $10O.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black.
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
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 a
mere trihe for each application. 1t is
always dependable.

FARMERS AND THE DRAFT,

WASHINGTON, D. c. Sept. II
Under the rules of the War Depart
ment for executing the new draft
law, special provision is made for
informing the district boards in re-
gard to farm-labor requirements in
order that necessary food produc-
ton may be maintained, says a state
ment issued by the Department Of
Agriculture. The statement contin-
ues:
In the new draft the district boards
are charged with the duty of putting
into deferred classes those persons
war by remaining in civilian occu-
tons than by entering the Army.
Accordingly, three advicers are to be
selected for each district board -
one for agriculture, one for labor,
and one for other occupations. The
agricultural adviser will be appointed
by the board upon the recommended
ton of the Secretary Of Agriculture.
The advisers are not members Of the
board but may, when invited, attend
its meetings.

KEEP HENS, SAYS UNCLE SAM, IN
GOVERNMENT MOVIES.

Chickens, and more chickens, to
help win the war, pleads the Govern
ment on the motion-picture screen. A
moving picture produced by the De
partment of Agriculture and shown at
the East Tennessee Division Fair
makes an appeal to every owner of Il
back yard to use it for poultry farm.
Two hens in the back yard for every
person in the family Will keep the
family in eggs. One hundred hens on
every farm will give an added 1,500,-
600 tons of meat to the country.
Such figures are rather startling.
But the chikens themselves are very
appealing. You see them in the pic
lures from the day they pick through
the shell until the day they hop into
the nest to lay. 1t looks very easy, as
it is done on the Government poultry
farm in Maryland
The sight of hen climbing into a
tFap-nest to lay is amusing. AS 5000
as she steps into the nest the swing
ing door shuts on her, and she can not
get out until she is taken out by the
keeper, who marks her egg with her
own number, and gives her credit for it
on her record sheet.
Your table scraps will help feed
your hens, their eggs will feed you,
and there Will be more meat for our
soldiers and the allies
