The Seyen-fn.One Workers Get
Out Today.
Peace Must Not Interfere With
Great Work.
BOYS NEED DIVERSIONS NOW
They VIII Spend Many Idle
Hours Over~There.
Danger of Reaction Must Be
Met at Once.

With the armies of the allies resting
on their arms, watchful that the Ger
mans perpetrate no new treachery
while the terms of the armistice
signed today are being carried out. the
workers of the united war work cam
paiSn went over the top at o'clock
today in an effort to raise funds for
tie entertainment and comfort of
these very same watchdogs of democ-
racy and guardians of the peace
of the world
1t is thought that the citizens of
shawnee county and of Topeka will
rally to the cause without the appli-
cation of any strong arm methods or
any extra urging.
Topeka and Shawnee county are
asked for $4,000 in the drive-this
amount to be distributed among the
seven different organizations joined
together in the drive and to be ex-
pended by them in providing comforts
and entertainment for the men in the
cantonpents and the men overseas.
Must Complete Drive.
Il was announced today that the
news-the official news of the signing
of the armistice-wilI put no check on
the active prosecution of the CAM
paign in Topeka and Shawnee county
to raise funds for the boys overseas
The funds are needed now worse than
they were when the boys We're facing
death at every turn in the road and il
is felt that the people of the country
and of the city will see this and con-
tribute heavily and rapidly to the
united war work funds which are to
be used to keep the boys in a fitting
mood for the work that still remains
for them to do.
Since the outbreak of the war as far
as America is concerned Topeka and
Shawnee county have sent more thai
five thousand of the finest men in the
land to the defense of the flag. In
Europe on the fields in the Argonne
forest the lads from Topeka and Shaw
nee county have acquitted themselves
with honor and have covered them
selves, their city, their county, their
state and their nation with glory I'M
ending Hundreds of them have made
the supreme sacrifice and have given
their blood and their bodies to the
dreds and thousands more of these
lads are today in the hospitals in
France racl1ed with pain in their
. bodies, but with the light of victory in
their eyes. And yet more thousands
are today faced with the greatest dam
ger of all-the danger of idIeness and
the reaction from the strain of battle
nentS which have been denied them.
Big Work To BE Done.
1t is to the seven organizations
which are esta blished for work on the
front, the seven organizations which
have the confidence of the soldier, and
the seven organizations which are
asking for the funds in the united war
work drive that the people of America
must depend to keep the American
heroes in France clean and unafraid
as they were when they faced the
Hun in the last great battle

For Itching Torture
GREENSBORO, n. c.

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
zeno, which generally overcones al
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN.
Piles, rashes, blackheads, IN most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zeno is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Sc; an extra
iarge bottle, $loo. It VIII not stain, is
not greasy OF sticky and IS positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins

PRO-AMERICAN PLAY
The Girl He Left Behind" VIII Be
Here Two Days.

Milwaukee is German city, but
when The Girl He Left Behind"
played there everyone connected with
the company was on tip-toes. How
would Milwaukee receive a play that
dealt SO powerfully with an American
story-a pro-American story? But
when the first performance was over
and the clamor of the throngs wild
with plaudits were still ringing in the
ears OF the actors. everyone knew that
The Girl He Left Behind" had come
thru the fire and conquered. When
the box office statements were tailed
at the end of the first week, it was
ascertained that all records were
broken for capacity attendance and
big business in that city. where it
played during the hottest period of the
summer. L. E. Pond, manager of the
Majestic theater, wired it's manager
that it proved the most successful of
anything Milwaukee had played in
three years. And now it comes to To-
peka to be seen at the Grand Wednes-
day and Thursday, November ,13 and
IA, giving two shows daily, 2:30 and
S:1o. This is not a moving picture.

HOW TO USE vAPORUB IN TREAT
ING SPANISH INFLUENZA.

In every case call a physician
YapoRub should be used only in
connection with the physicians inter-
nal treatment.
Apply hot, wet cloths over the
throat. chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry
lightly and rub VapoRub well in until
the skin is red-spread on thickly and
cover with hot flannel cloths. Leave
the bedcoveriug loose around the neck,
as the body heat releases the ingred-
tents in the form of vapors. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath, slim
ulate the lining of the air passages to
throw off the influenza germs. In
case of head or chest cold, which Of
ten accompanies influneZa, the vapors
tend to keep the air passages open,
loosen the phlegm and make the
breathing easier. In addition. Vapo-
Rub is absorbed thru and stimulates
the skin. attracting the blood to the
surface, and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.

The address of the chancellor was
largely q bitter attack on President

the American imperialists He said
that Germany had made repeated Of
fers Of peace, but that the allies had
refused TO consider them, and that
Germany would not submit to "the en-
emy's war of conquest and destruc-
ton"
The chancellor asserted that on
February 22 he declared in the reichs-
tag his agreement in principle with
the possibility of discussing Il general
peace on the basis of the four points
of President Wilson's message of Feb
ruary =, but that President Wilson had
taken no notice of this declaration.
Count Won Hertling asserted that he
favored the formation of league Of
nations, the promotion of universal
successive disarmament in equal pro-
portions, the establishment of obliga-
tory courts of arbitration, the freedom
of the seas, and the protection of small
nations.

chancellor. THE people are intoxi-
