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 any druggist for 35c or 81 bottle
Of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, 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.

Feb. 2, we were notified that the
Angel of death had visited our Unit
and had chosen one Of the best Of our
company, Private Isom Wells, your
beloved son. To-day, the cloud Of sor-
row hangs heavy and low over our
little band Of soldiers. But, our gloon
cannot be compared with that par
entail love of yours that, is much diff
fe-ent from kindred. As your love
for him was greater and dearer than
any on earth. We know that the
burden that has SO suddenly been
thrown upon your soldiers is almost
unbearable. We know you miss him.
For We miss him and mourn his death
for the same reasons that you do, al
most.
His motto, Deeds and not Words, ''
explains within itself the reason Com
pany 81" was proud of him, and now
that he has gone, we realize more
fully that we have lost one of our
ablest men. He is one of the few
that subjected himself to discipline.
When Private Wells was assigned to
certain task, he never murmred
neither did he try to get by" as a
great number of them do All order
We're obeyed instantaneous and will

Your son cast no reflections upon

principles, that you have instilled in

parents, that it hurts Us very much
that we can't, at least pay the mill

We beg you. kind friends. to re

that your son answered the death

Just ruler, no one can doubt ms love
for all men. and that He will admins
ter justice to every one. Only men Of

are drafted under the proclamation Of
the president Of July 3rd. 1917. But
all are subject to the King of kings
call. II matters not where we are. oT
m what condition. there is no one ex-

We extend our love and sympathy
To the bereaved. And when we a.
