FOR ITCHING TORTURE
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, pi1nples, 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. II costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, S1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively

The Whole Secret of
A Better Tire
Simply Matter Of the Makers Policies

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is matter of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless Of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
Same &C other like-type tires. Our
sav-ag is on selling cost, through

We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns-
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives SO much for your

This you will realize -once you
try Brunswick-that a super-tire
is possible only when the name
certif1es that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for "a years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are
matter of expense. And these vari-
atoms affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat

COUNTY COUNCIL OF
DEFENSE EXERCISED
POWER DURING WAR

War activities in Wayne county
throughout the entire period of the
world conflict centered about the
Wayne county council of defense.
With practically no authority behind
it other than public sentiment the
county defense council exercised vir

Police powers to keep down sedition
among the civilian population were
vigorously exercised by the county de-

of the citizens and intoxicating high
spirit of patriotism.

The council also gave its support to
the various drives for the sale of Lib

merous funds for the several welfare
organizations. Furthermore, the de-
Tense council directed the conserva-
ton of food and fuel supplies and took
action when occasion demanded to
discourage profiteering. The county
defense council also played an impor-
tant part in the settlement of dis
pute between workmen and some
