For Itching Torture
Use Antiseptic Liquid Zemo

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and re-
Iieve skin irritation, and that makes
the skin soft. clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes
skin diseases. Eczems, Itch, PimpIes,
Rashes, B.ackheads. in most cases
give way to Zemo. frequently,
minor bIemishes disappear over
night. Itching usually stops i'll
stantiy. Zemo is a safe, antiseptic
liquid, clean, easy to use and de-
pendable. 1t costs only 35c; an
extra large bottle, SI.00. 1t is posi-.

Still he remained right where he was

So he waited and waited and waited.
AT last he was sure that Hooty had
left. Once more he climbed up to his

some time before even poking his
nose outside. Then, just as he had
made up his mind to go out, that ter

One night of his life whitefoot the
Wood Mouse will never forset as long
as be lives. Even now it mskss him
shiver just to think Of it. ( Yes. sir.
he .shivers even now whenever, he

was quite dusk when Whitefoot crept
out of his snug little bed and climbed
up to the round hole which was the

most terrible sound. 1t seemed to
him as IL it was in his very ears. SO
loud and terrible was. it. 1t frightened
him so badly that he simply let go

one awakened from sleep in great
fright is sure to move, and If they
do this are almost equally sure to
make some little sound. His ears
are SO wonderful that they, can catch
the faintest sound and tell exactly
where it comes from. So he uses that
terrible hunting cry to frighten the
little people and make them move.

ENVOY RECEIVES JEWS.
Sir Auckland Geddes Says Unrest
in Near East Will Probably Cease,

Sir Auckland .Geddes, the British
ambassador has received a delega-
tion representing Zionist organia-
tions in the United States, for a
discussion Of the Palestine sit
uation and the efforts of American
Jews toward establishment there Of
a Jewish homeland.
The ambassador assured the dele
CATION that the British government
would adhere to the policies an
nounced by Arthur J. Balfour and
would do it's utmost to maintain order
in Palestine.
Sir Auckland expressed the opinion
that recent events in the near east
and the conference to be held this
month to consider near eastern prob
lens would result in elimination Of
any cases of unrest and go far to-
ward establishing stability in Pales-
tine.
He said the unrest recently re.
ported in Palestine was due largely
to the delay in confirmation of the
British mandate over that country and
to the unrest prevailing generally In
the islamic world, as elsewhere.
