Heat Skin Diseases
1 It la unnecessary for you to suffer witr
eczema, blotches ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. 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.

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.

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."

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.

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
