ITCHING ENDS WHEN
ZEM0 TOUCHES SKIN

It's wonderful the way soothing,
cooling zemo brings relief to itching
skin, sunburn, windburn and clears
upabites, pimples and rash. Even in
severe cases, itching disappears al
most as soon as Zemo touches the
skin. To draw out local infection
and clear away unsightly blemishes
there's nothing better than invisible
zemo. Always keep this family anti
septic on hand. Use it freely. It's

Fl Dorado, Ark. Oct. 7.--(NEA)-To
his fellow citizens In the city OF Fl Do
rado, the new national commander Of
the American Legion goes BY the ordi-
nary. friendly nickname Of "Bodie."
That nickname tells just how El
Dorado regards this man. Major O.
/. Bodenhamer, who rose overnight
from comparative obscurity to nation
al fame when the war veterans IN
convention at Louisville. KY. unan-
inlously put him In charge Of their
affairs for the next year.
El Dorado wouldn't like that COM
parative obscurity." Everybody here
knows 'Bodie" knows him and likes
him. And ali that El Dorado Is
worrying about Is the fear that his
new station will call him away from
his home town for the next year.
Major Bodenhamer came up from
the bottom In civil life just as he did
in the army.
Born in Goldthwaite, Texas, and
educated at Baylor university he be-
gan his career rs professor Of Eng
liSh in little San Marcos Baptist
Academy, in western Texas. In his
spare time there he served as athletic
director.
When the United States entered the
war. Bodcnhamer promptly enlisted
In the regular army as 4 private.
Three months later he was promoted
to captain. and = little while after
that he became Z major. The innate
executive ability that had never had
q chance to display itself at San
Marcos Academy now got full scope
and Bodenhamer, commanding bat

into : capable. energetic leader Of
men.
The fates were unkind to him
from his viewpoint-and he never got
overseas. He was such q good leaner
| that he was kept at various training
camps, turning raw recruits into SOL
diers. Much Of hts time was spent On

In the spring Of 1919 he left the
