his critics had time to realize what
was happening.
The most interesting local weddins
of the week was that of Mildred
Adams and Capt Fairfax Davis
Downey yesterday afternoon. And
the Influenza simply played hob with
their plans. They had wanted a
church weddlng-the Church of the
Epiphany, But the authorities closed
the church. So they had 1t at the
Connecticut avenue home of the
brides parents, DIR. and Mrs. S. s.
Adams. Then half the wedding party
failed to materialize either because II
had the FLU" or because II was
afraid of getting It, The brides sis

Both the boys have been in France
and in front line trenches since last
March. They were rushed to the
front almost as soon as they landed
to help stem that spring drive OF the
Huns. And from then on they were
very much in the thick OF il. Last
August they were brought home, after
short furlough, and put to helping
lick the new men into shape.
Almost as soon as they arrived the
engagement of Capt. Downey was an
nounced; and most of the time since
he reached this part of the country
he has been at Camp Meade as an
instructor.
After the ceremony yesterday Col
and Mrs. Downey entertained at sup
per for the whole wedding party.

influenza for missing a rare musica

BY virtue of his position as leader
of the majority Socialist party of Ger
many, Philip Scheidemann must be
reckoned as one of the powers in Ger
many should there be a change in
government.
Scheidemann has already been
spoken of as a possible successor to
Prince Max of Baden, as chancellor.
As leader of the Socialists in the
Reichstag he has been prominently in
the public eye since the beginning of
the war.
Even under the present regime,
Scheidemann's power has been great
enough to secure for him the vice
presidency of the Reichstag and a
place In Prince Max's cabinet as
minister without portfolio.

waned though he has been charged

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 35c, or
extra large bottle at Sl00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring

healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
sntiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trife for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
