A little zemo obtained at any drug store for 35c, or $1.00 for extra large bottle, and promptly applied will usually give instant relief from itching torture. It cleanses and soothes the skin and heals quickly and effectively most skin diseases. Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis appearing liquid and is soothing to the most delicate skin. It is not greasy, is easily applied and costs little. Get it today and save all further distress. The E. W. Roee Co.. Cleveland, a Private W. W. Smith Enjoys His Pay Day (Letter from Private XI. W. (Red) Smith to Rube Zweifel of La Grande.) December 2, 1917. Friend Rube Hello Rube, how are you? Kind of thought I would drop you a letter as I have nothing else to do tonight, You ought to be here with us; sure having some time; got paid the other lnrs and twenty cents. Had a roll of day in French money. I got one hun dred and forty-one francs; sounds fishy, but it is only twenty-five dol bills that would choke an ox. When we first came to this town, we had to sleep on bombs and shells in the hay, but believe nie, we have j got them out now. I don't suppose you will believe that, but it's so; the Germans held this place once, but they'll never get it again. The Standard Laundry Company ; i i S . 1 , is ready to serve lowing departments DRY CLEANING CARPET CLEANING FINISH LAUNDRY WORK FAMILY WASH (Rough Dry) Phone Main wagon will call I i :$ :? Good Work Prompt Service We were changing things around yesterday and moving something. A sergeant came in. We asked what was going to happen. He said the French lines had broken out here and we were getting ready for a hasty retreat; maybe you think we didn't open our eyes. Then he told us that we were only going to transfer some pnticnts. Wo sure had the buck again before he told the truth. We sure had some turkey dinner Thanksgiving day. Played football in the afternoon ,but the field was just like a swamp and we didn t have any bathing suits. I suppose you are still stepping on your old steam press and raking in the silver thnt we won't see for some time. Well, Rube, I guess I'll hang up for this time, hoping to hear from you soon. I would have written sooner, only I couldn't get to it. Yours truly, PRIVATE WM. W. (RED) SMITH. P. S. If anything is cut out of this letter, you will know that the censor didn't want it there. How to Prevent Radiator Freezing Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, says: "I have tried the various anti-freezing radiator solutions with indifferent success. Winter temperatures nave the habit of falling just about the time a portion of the alcohol in the anti-freezing mixture has evaporated, and the result is a frozen- radiator. This does not always mean injury to the radiator or water jacket, because if there is some alcohol present, the you in the fol- 56 and our for your work ice will be soft and slushy. But it stops circulation, as the lower hose connection freezes first, and what al cohol remains in the unfrozen water boils away by the time the car has been driven a mile or two. So after I had purchased and used up three gallons of alcohol, at $1 a gallon, I decided that draining the radiator at nighf was the safest course to follow." 15lg Maneuver (Jroumls Assured. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5. (Speo ial.) One of tho largest military inanouvcr grounds in the country will be established soon at Camp Fremont, Palo Alto. o Baby Hecf Pays This Man In the December Farm and Fireside a writer says: "H. H. Bailey of Valley County, Nebraska, raises Shorthorn calves, fattens them, and sells them as baby beef. He keeps a herd of about 40 cows, and has been very careful about replacing the culls with good heifers of his own raising. He now has a herd that is bred up to a very high standard, and it is from this herd that he raises his calves for baby beef. As a rule, Mr. Bailey finishes his calves at the age of 15 or 18 months. Such of his yearlings as give promise of meeting the requirements of tho Christinas trade hoi points for thnt market, and for them he gets the customary premium paid for such cat tle during tho first half of December. Those that do not show up well, he markets earlier in the fall. Last year he' sent his first shipment to Omaha the second week in November. It consisted of sixteen head, of which eight steers and seven heifers so.M together at $10.25 a hundred pounds at an average weight of 928 pounds." AUTOMOBILE TOPICS Watch Your Springs Although the average motorist gives little thought to the springs of his car except as to their use in reducing road shocks to passengers, the springs actually play an important part in the performance of the entire automobile, according to C. A. McCrary, local rep resentative of the Haynes Automobile company, Kokomo, Indiana. Longer, easier riding springs, both front and rear, are features of the new Haynes models. Through the utilization of the lamp wick principle the spring ends are thorough lubri cated from a small well in the shackle pin. Carload of Haynes Cars Arrives. A carload of Haynes automobiles arrived In La Grande today for the La Grande Garage, C. A. McCrary, manager. The carload made an un usually fast trip. Mr. McCrary was notified that the car had passed Oinuba on December 29, and he ex pected the car would arrive here about January 9. He was much surprised when he was notified that tho car had arrived today and he complimented Uncle Sam on the quick trip. o ti-' AID THE KIDNEYS Do Not Endanger Life When a La Grande Citizen Shows You the Way to Avoid It. Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, back ache, urinary disorders, lamenoss, headaches, languor, why allow them selves to become chronic invalids, when a tested remedy is offered them? Donn's Kidney Tills have been used in kidney trouble over 50 years, have bcentosted in thousands of cases. If you have any, even one, of the symptoms of kidney diseases, act now. Dropsy or Bright's disease may set in and make neglect dangerous. Read this La GTande testimony : Mrs. Frank Brookler, 2010 Third St., say: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been o household medicine for kidney trouble in our home for a number of years and they have always proven a great success. Wherever I notice my kdneys are not acting as they should, I take Doan's Kidney Pills for a few days and they never fail to relieve the trouble. I couldn't recommend any thing thoir equal." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Brookler had. Fosier-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv. 1 iQ fcij?
