urated in a meeting at Dayton,
Ohio. In its statement, the result
of this meeting, a number of dec
larations are set forth. The mem
bership is very inclusive. taking in

the Civil war, Indian wars and
campaigns, Spanish war.
Mexican border service, war

others connected with the admins
tration are included in the list of

the navy and secretary of war dur
ing any war periods are entitle I

specified that for admission to the

period.
Purpose Erasing SectiOnalism.
All persons who gave their best
to the national welfare should
stand together entirely, and not as
the North" South" or West -
Nshe originators argue, while those
WHO are unable to care for them
selves must receive the best of the
land, in token of their sacrifice.
This feeling is manifested in the
following paragraphs from the
statement of the organizations
purpose by its national council of
administration:
ITO erase all traces of section
alism in this country by having
comrades of the north and COM
one organization wherein unity
and equality will be the watch
word, and establishing the basic
fact that in the United Veterans OF
the Republic there will be no north.
no south, no east, no west, but one
great organization, magnificent in
principle, and invincible in the
support of its individual members
and all those who have served hon
orabIy under the stars and stripes.
ITO insist upon better conditions
for our comrades unfortunately
CHARTERED in national and state
soldiers homes, and to demand
that preference of employment be
given in these homes to him and
her who personally sacrificed their
all for the flag, over the civilians
now being favored by reason of
political influence, and to request
congress to make the national SOL
diers' home 3nhabitable to the
younger soldiers who have become
disabled or who may hereafter be-
come disabled by reason of their
service to the flag"

For Burning Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for 35c, or
$1O0 for large size, get bottle of Zemo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching,
and heals skin troubles, also sores,
burns wounds and chafng. 1t pene-
trates, cleanses and sootheS. Zemo is
a clean, dependable and inexpensive,
antiseptic liquid. Try it, as we believe
nothing you have ever used is as effecs
tive and satisfying.
