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 safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $l.O0. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins

Two airplanes passed over Keokuk
at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. coming
across the Mississippi and going out
over the North road tracks. They
were flying lat about two thousand

each other.
At Argyle they were forced to land

two hours. They were army ships

FOOD SCARE
EVEN IN PEACE
After War has Ended There Will be
Necessity for People to
Continue Conserva-
ton,

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Ger
man people will have to eat and the
American people will have to con
tinue strict food conservation meas
ures"
That will be the post war food
situation as food administration off.
Gals see 1t.
Despite the intense disinclination
of the American people to deny them
selves In order that the emmy coun-
tries may have food, the denial must
be made, officials say.
Whether the Germans actually
get and consume American food does
mot particularly matter" they said.
Peace will permit them to buy food
lin the worlds markets-and the food
situation must be viewed from the
standpoint of the world supply. And
the world probably is short.
''They may go to Spain and the
Spanish colonies, or to the neutral
states Of South America. But it will
be necessary to consider their food
demands. 1t is certain that the
United States and the allies will
make q united effort to put aside the
old testament motive Of an eye for
an eye, tooth for tooth, that has
actuated them in the war and sub
stitute a less hostile attitude"
The first duty, food administration
officials pointed out is to supply sum-
cient food to England. France, Italy,
Belgium and Serbia. The administra-
ton has gone on record with its
feeding program to the Czecho-Slo-
walks, the Jugo-Slavs and other
peoples Of the late Austro-Hungarian
empire who have assisted the allies
in the struggle for world democracy
The feeding problem will be the
bigger with the cessation Of hostili-
ties than 1t was before the war and
while there will be a lessened de-
mand for rations among the troops,
this small gain will be more than
overcome by the demands of civil
populations in the various countries
of Europe who have been sadly I'M
derfed during the war.
THE release of shipping will per-
NIT the Germans to send fleets to
South America to lift grains and
some animal products" 1t was stated.
1.-THE British, of course, will be able
to move greater quantities of foods
from Australia, where large stocks
of small grains and animal foods
have accumulated.
For the United States the ship
ping problem will be even more
acute. inasmuch as Great Britain will
require the largest part of her mer-

ON TREASON CHARGE

Paris, Jan. 14.-Joseph Caillaux, for
mer premier and minister of Justice
for France, was formally imprisoned to-
day, as the outgrowth of charges Of
treason lodged against him in connec-

Caillaux is a member of the cham
Der of deputies and until that body
recently voted formally to suspend the
immunities from prosecution granted
all members, he could not be formally
hailed before a tribunal on the
charges.
The chamber of deputies and a spe-
cial commission heard the charges
against the former premier. 1t was
alleged he aided Bolo Pasha in the
Levantine's efforts to deceive France
into a German made peace; that he
sought to create discord between
France and Italy and that he was con-
stantly opposing the nations war eff
