Dandruff And Itching Scalp Yield To Zemo Treatment

Why should you continue to experiment with salves, greasy lotions and fancy hair dressings trying to rid your scalp of germ life. They can't do it because they cannot penetrate to the seat of the trouble and draw the germ life to the surface of the scalp and destroy it. Why not try a PROVEN REMEDY? One that will do this. We have a remedy that will rid the scalp of germ life and in this way will cure DANDRUFF and ITCHING SCALP. This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, refined, penetrating scalp tonic that goes right to the seat of the trouble and drives the germ life to the surface and destroys it. A shampoo with ZEMO (ANTISEPTIC) SOAP and one application of ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp of Dandruff and scurf. Do not hesitate, but get a bottle of ZEMO today. It acts on a new principle and will do exactly what we claim for it. Sold and endorsed in Richmond by the Fihe Drug Store. PRESERVATION OF HEALTH DEBATED (National New Association) HAVANA. Dec. 5.

RESERVE HORSES FOR WAR.

Switzerland's Method of Preparing For Rapid Mobilization. In Switzerland the state Is part owner of horses used by reserves. It purchases a remount at three and a half years old, and the soldier pays half the cost of the horse to the government, together with the difference between its cost and the price that the horse fetches at auction, for all horses are sold by auction to the men. After every year of training the government refunds one-tenth of the original half cost to the man, and at the end of ten years the horse becomes the absolute property of the soldier. In this manner the soldier Is not only always well mounted, but as he keeps his horse with him at his home bis mobilization problem is of the simplest nature. The average price of these Swiss troop horses is about 45, says Baily's Magazine, and as most of these horses are imported from Ireland and north Germany their price is considerably higher than it would be In Great Britain. Thus the state secures the services of a horse for an annual outlay of about 4 10s. But there are certain other expenses which must be included In this estimate, such as the cost of the establishment for remount depots, etc.. which raises the total cost of horses for the Swiss government to about 8 12s. a year.

GOTHAM POULTRY SHOW BEING HELD

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Dec. 5. The Nek Grand Central Palace was transformed today into an immense barnyard, and all day long it resounded with the cackling of hens, crowing of roosters, quacking of ducks and geese, piping of canaries, while the sounds from other varieties of poultry contributed to the musical medley in the great building. The fifth annual exhibition of the Em'pire Poultry Association was opened this morning and the show will continue through the week. Tomorrow the Cat Show will be added to the attrac tions. The poultry exhibition is the largest ever seen in the" metropolis. With 1,400 classes on the premium list the event has attracted all the breeders of fine poultry in the Eastern states. One of the best breeds of chicken shown is the famous Orpington, for which as much as $2,500 has been paid for a single bird. The display of pigeons, bantams and game cocks also attracted much attention from the crowd that attended the opening of the show.

' But it Is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it I those disorders that arise from in activity, cnier or tnese are a cnroiuc, persistent constipation. Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symptoms of belching, drowsiness after eating1, headaches and general lassitude. Frequently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives. What they need, women as well as men, is a mild laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to take and yet acts without griping. The remedy that fills all these requirements, and haa In addition tonic

A TRYING ORDEAL

TheiFattening Process of a Marriage j , ; ' able Girl In Tunis. The marriageable girl in Tunis has a trying ordeal to go through after her betrothal to the man not of her choice, but whose choice sbe is. She has to be fattened to the required size before the ceremony can take place. As soon as the betrothal takes place she is taken to a room and there cooped up till the fattening process is concluded. Silver shackles are fastened round her wrists and ankles, and the task of her parents and future husband is to increase her bulk till her wrists and ankles fill up the shackles. If the husband is a widower or has "discharged" his first wife the girl has the shackles of the first spouse placed on her, and she must fill them out. It takes a long time to do this as a rule, and sometimes it cannot be accomplished In spite of all efforts. It is then open to the future husband to cry off the bargain or waive the condition. In the case of a bachelor he takes care to see that the bracelets and anklets ' are not too large that is, if he is fond 1 of the girl but If he is being forced into the marriage by his parents he is ! a great stickler for custom. Stout girls are the more quickly snapped up In Tunis. St. James' Gazette. Firoperties that strengthen the stomach, iver and bowels.
