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 ovcrcomcs all
skin diseases. Eczema. itch. pimples,
rashcs, blackheadS in most cases give
way to Zcmo. Frequently, minor blcm-
ishcs disappear over night. Itching US
ually stops instantly. Zcmo is safe,
antiscptic liquid. clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an ex-
ira large bottle, 81 90. 1t will not stain,
is not greasy or sticky and positively
safe for tender. sensitive skins.

"On the Siberian front the Bolshe-

"Os the southern front the army Of
Genesal Denikine continues success

dirocsion the troops have reached the
mouth of the Volga. In the south they
have occupied Alexandrovsk, Orienk-
hov, Melitopol and Perekop. The entire
Taurida Peninsula is liberated from the
Bolsheviki.
"The beaten Bolshevik troops are re
treating. The Bolshevik losses, from
June "a to July 81, are more than 5O,-

Public Employment Ser
vice, Says Wages Can't Fol
low Increased Living Costs
NetU York Tribune
Jvuoh ufon R1trsu1i

WASHINGTON, July 17.-"There is
great unemployment in the country
even now, but there is positive lack of
labor in some industrial centres, and
there will be as great a shortage
within a year as there was during the
dclphia. nationally known employment
authority, told the Congress ional
Labor Committee day.
"Wages cannot continue to chase the
cost of living up the SCALE" Mr.. Ken
nedy told the committees, diverting
somewhat from the subject in hand.
"Such a pursuit." he said in effect,
"gets nowhere, for, since all wage
earners are consumers, to raise wages
without increasing production is mere
ly to increase the cost Of living.
Forced wage increases without regard
to the underlying economic facts can
only result in higher prices and
eventually the prostration. of industry.
Wages are paid out of production. If
production remains stationary while
wages increase the additional margin
comes out of higher prices, which
means that it comes out Of the wage
Garner. A real increase Of wages can
only come from increased production: D
His conviction that the country is
was given by Mr.. Kennedy as a reason
why there should be good public
employment service. "In such a time,
he said, cit is needed to level the ma
tional labor supply"
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, testified
that the Federation was in favor Of a
permanent employment service, though
the organized workers had employ
ment facilities in their unions. at is
needed by the unorganized workers,
he said, "and we believe that every
man has the right to be given informa-
ton as to opportunities for employ
ment."
Mr.. Morrison denied that the in
creased cost of living was due to ad.
vances in the pay of the workers
"There is not an industry in the coun-
try" he said emphatically, "that has
received the full increase in the cost OF
living. The higher pays are due to the
increased cost Of raw materials and
not to the increased cost of labor. The
cost of labor in making a pair of shoes
for instance, is 81 cents. The in
creased cost of shoes is due to higher
leather prices"
Mr.. Morrison said unemployment was
widespread, but that the situation hat
become acute in only few sections Of
the country.
In Massachusetts, he said, there is II
per cent unemployment, 400,0 per
sons being out of work in that state.
From 30 to so per cent of the mine
workers of the United States are out OF
employment at the present time," ht
said, "due to the huge stores of Goa
that had previously been mined and to,
reluctance of consumers to lay il
winter supplies"
