When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irri-
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and soothes the skin.
Ask n druggist for a CSC or 81 bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
YOU will find that irritations, pimples.
bIackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy.
ing liquid, is all that is needed, for it
banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

Snow and Ice Worms.

There are Mt present known In the
world approximately 60 species and
varieties of snow and Ice worms. Sex
ually mature specimens. yellowlsh to a
dark reddish brown or black in color.
about an inch long and one-twentieth
zach in diameter were found In Febru-
ary and April (1918) abundantly on the
open snow fields Of Mount Rainier. ut
an elevation Of 2,75O to 5000 feet above
sea level. They also occurred on the
snow on the mountain slope protected
by dense forest Of FIR and hcmlOck.
These worms have not thus far been
found on solid Ice nor on the glaciers,
though they occur on the snow below
the ice from and outside of the lateral
mOraines of the Nlsqually glacier. The
snow on which they were found Is not
permanent through the entire season,
but melts with the coming Of summer
and It therefore appears that a part OF
their life must be spent on or In the
ground.

MILLIONS WORK IN MINES
More Than Half Of the COOK, 900 Men
Employed Below Earth's Sur.
face Dig Coal.

The magnitude Of the mining indus
try may be grasped when one realizes
that more than 5000. 900 men are en-
gagged in the mines Of the world. OF
this number $4,000 are employed In
the coal mines and 100000 in the
metal mines. In addition, millions
more are engaged in allied industries
dependent directly upon the mines for
coal and metal, according to the En-
cheering and Mining Journal.
Mining Is one Of the hazardous in
dustries employing over 100000 men
In the United States, In which three
out of every 1000 men employed are
killed every year by reason Of some nc
cident. While complete data relating
to non-fatal injuries are mot available,
reports to the United States bureau Of
mines for all metal mines in the
United States show that about 200
men per thousand per year are In
jured sufficiently to cause loss Of
time. A reduction Of so per cent In
the number of mine accidents would
mean saving Of 1900 lives In the
United States every year. In addition
to reducing the loss OF time and suf-
fering resulting from more than 20O.-
600 non-fatal injuries.
