FAToNiC
CFoR YOUR AcID-sIoMAcD
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. Eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes, blackheads in most cases give
way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blem-
ishes disappear over night. Itching US
ually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an ex-
ira large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain,
is not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

these influences had spent their force.
BY tie end of 1919, according to the
replies obtained from y QUESTIONABLE
sent 10 real estate boards In ninety -one
cities, only four OF these cities had
a housing demand that was below
normal. While In ffty-two cities rents
had advanced 10 per cent or more, in
some instances 40 TO 80 per cent. This
rise in rents took place at time when
the population at home was as eco
nomical of house room as possible and
while several millions Of soldiers were
absent In the service.
Another Important fact was disclosed
by the replies TO the QUESTIONABLE,
namely, that despite rising rents for
housing in the majority OF the nine
ty-one cities, the market values OF
house sites had declined in six cities.

During the war about one-third OF
the country's industrial capacity. m
Guiding man power. was diverted To
war production. TO bring about this
great diversion of industry two means
were employed: stimulation and cur
tailment stimulation was practiced
throughout the war and affected the
prices of materials and the wages OF
labor because government contracts
were awarded on a basis which per-
nitted contractors to compete sue
cessfully with non-war manufactur-
ers for materials and labor.

pose of conserving fuel and transpor-

But in statement OF February 5.
1915, Secretary McAdoo requested
that homes should not be built except
in case of urgent necessity. the
statement contained by implication the
promises on which the radical curtail-
ment of the building industry was
later carried out. 1. O.. % that conser-
walton OF materials. labor and credit
was necessary in order to win the war
and (2) that the conservation must
take place in those Industries that
were not essential, or only in part es-
sential, to the winning OF the war.
Some time after the publication OF
Secretary McAdoo's statement. the
policy Of seriously curtailing non-war
production was put into effect. Event
ually the production OF sixteen build
ing materials was cut down 20 to 81
per cent Non-war construction was
greatly restricted until 1t was almost
completely stopped from september :.
1913, until the armistice was signed
It was estimated by the chief Of the
building materials section OF THE war
industries board that tho non-war con-
struction in 1919 would be not more
than 10 per cent. OF normal. This es-
innate indicates how great the diver
sion of labor and capital from the con-
struction industry had been.
The stimulation OF war industry ana
the curtailment of non-war industry
was mainly carried out directly or in i
