SAN FRANCISCO, oct. io.--The

no longer be looked down up as among

FOR ITCHING TORTURE
Use Antiseptic LIQUID Zeno

Use Antiseptic Liquid Zemo
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 skin
diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples, rashes,
blackheads, in most cases give way
to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes
disappear overnight. Itching usually
stops instantly. Zemo is a safe, anti.
septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, S1.00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
In skin troubles, ordinary soaps are
irritating and liable to aggravate the
condition. Use Zemo soap. 1t is anti
septic, soothing and hastens the proc
ess of healing.

LIGHT A SUCCESS
kemper Auto 0scilIatOr DEM
Onstrated in Topeka.
Local Invention May Mean Con-
structiOn Here.

Proof of the success of the. auto
headlight oscillator. a new invention
by W. L. Kemper, local electrician
was demonstrated Wednesday night
by Kemper and George Stansfield, his
assistant for the benefit of Mayor II
]. Corwine and Police Chief G. G.
Hannah.
Kemper showed the officials that
with his new device he could lower the
rays of his lights to the level of the
hub of a vehicle 200 feet distant. He
used 31-candle power nitrogen lights
which are brighter than state laws
permit, and demonstrated that at all
times he had such control of them that
he could pass any approaching vehicle
without binding the driver.
Both Mayor Corwine and Chief Han
nan expressed great enthusiasm over
the new device. Even on the crest OF
hill Kemper showed he could lower
the lights below the eyes of drivers al
the bottom of the hill and still have
more than the usual amount of illu-
mination for his own purposes. He
showed that the approaching driver
could entirely turn off his own lights
and the oscillator handled in such a
manner that supplied ample light fol-
both cars, altho going in opposite di-
rections.
1t Attracted Attention.
The demonstration lasted two hours,
and took in nearly every part of the
city and several country roads. The
oscillator permits the driver to throw
the lights at five different up-and-
down angles. by means of a trigger on
the dash board. The lights are auto
matically held firmly in the position
desired.
Drivers OH passing vehicles craneo
their necks to discover the manner in
which the powerful lights on STAINS
fields car were operated. One man
almost ran his car in the ditch while
looking back. On Kansas avenue q
considerabl number of motorists were
following the demonstrators for .
time.
Kemper said the device can be in
stalled at a nominal price on any cal
except the Pierce-ArroW, which has
the lights moulded into the fender
Improvements of minor nature are
still to be made, theainventor said.st
Whether they will sell the manu-
featuring rights on the device Or star
q factory in Topeka, Kemper and
Stansfield have not yet decided In
case the latter plan is adopted it will
probably mean a mammoth new
manufacturing plant.

.JAPS START WAR

Belief is expressed here that this
encounter may start guerilla warfare
which will spread thru all eastern ST.
IBERIA if the Japanese do not evacuate
the country.
Announcements made by the Jap
anese command here would seem to
indicate a change in the policy fol-
lowed by that country. In the past
the japanese have been assisting
CZechs forces here but in the future
they will devote their efforts to safe
guarding Japanese special positions in
Manchuria and Mongolia.
Evacuation of Siberia by the Japan
est will not be started. it is under

ment with Japan. The local provi-
sional government has handed pro-
tests to the Japanese command re-
garding intervention in eastern Siberia.
The Japanese have concentrated their
forces along the Ussuri and Chinese
eastern railways.
The railroad to Chita. where the
remnant of Admiral kolchak's forces
was trapped by reYolutionists, is open,
and Czech troops in that vicinity are
thus enabled to get out of Siberia.
When this is accomplished, all anti
revolutionary forces will be eliminated
as possible operations of General
Semenoff and Lieutenant General
Horvath occasion no apprehension.
