POLITICS BEHIND MOVE
AGAINST SCHOOL, HE SAYS
KNOXVILLB, Tenn.. Poo. 23 (SpU
A political move is noen by Senator
.lohn C. Houli, In the proposed plan
to remove the Tennessee school for
deaf and dumb from Knoxville. He
declares that the plan la backed by
the desire to pet the $son.nno or $4(in.nnn
which the Asylum avenue and Pand
ridte pike property in Knoxville would
bring, to be used In flliinj; up a hole
in the state's finances. He asserts that
there is a "kit inn debt." of about $3.
000, Ofin, which Is Kivinit the state much
trouble. The sum that could be real
ized from the sale of the property of
the Tennessee school for deaf ami
dumb looks very tempting to the poli
ticians of t lie state, he suiregsts, xddinir
that it la solely responsible for the ef
fort to move the school. A sentiment
against this form of politics must be
created In Kast Tennessee, lie declares.
The Knox county delegation is urging
Kast Tennessee to put up a strong fight
for the removal of the Tennessee school
for deaf and dumb.

For Itching Torture
There is one remedy that seldoni
falls to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that nukes the skin
oft, dear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
emo, which generally overcomes ail
skin diseases. Acne, eciemt, itch, pim
ples, rashes, blackheads in most case
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
ale for tender, sensitive skins.
