BALTIMORE, Md., June 14.—Four persons were indicted by the federal grand jury here shortly after noon for the substitution of prisoners in the county Jail at Upper Marlboro. Until all of the defendants are in custody their names will not be made public. District Attorney Amos W. W. Woodcock sald that two were al- ready in custody and the others would be arrested at once. It was alleged that G. R. Hall served in the place of John C. Stafford, alias John Johnson, his former employer. Stafford and Harry G. Rich had been sentenced for violations of the Volstead law. Hall is said to have confessed to the United States authorities that he went to the jail to visit Stafford and spent his nights there, but denied act- ing as a paid proxy. Whether either of the indicted per- sons was the jailor or other official of Marlboro the district attorney refused to say. It Is the custom to await arreats, he said.

The Greatest of all Antiseptics What It Is ONITE is a concentrated, stabilized and perfected form of the Carrel-Dakin Solution. The Carrel-Dakin Solution is an antiseptic developed during the World War by two eminent scientists. War hospital records show that it reduced amputations and deaths from infec- tion over seventy per cent and saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of desperately wounded men. It has been adopted and is in daily use by the medical profession and in hospitals through- out the civilized world. By standard laboratory tests Zonite has more than three times the germicidal strength of pure carbolic acid. It has about seventy-five times the germicidal strength of peroxide of hydrogen and forty times the germicidal strength of any solution of carbolic acid, iodine, bichloride of mercury, etc., that can be applied with safety to the human body. In addition to its high germicidal efficiency, Zonite is non-poisonous, non-irritating, non- caustic and healing. It can be used freely and frequently on the delicate membranes and tissues What It Does of the human body without harm. For Preventing Contagious Diseases Until the discovery of this form of antiseptic, it was im- possible to introduce freely into the mouth and nose any antiseptic solution at suffi- cient strength to destroy discase germs effec- tively. It is in the prevention of germ diseases, therefore, that Zonite finds one of its greatest fields of usefulness. During epidemics of colds, grippe, scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, sore throat and other respiratory diseases, whenevery sneeze and draft scatters millions of germs, Zonite should be used frequently as a throat spray and nasel douche. For Cuts and Wounds Zonite should be promptly applied to a fresh cut or wound to destroy the germs which cause blood poison- ing and other similar forms of infection. In addition to acting as a disinfectant, it will shorten the process of healing and greatly reduce the usual pain and in- flammation. As a Mouth Wash A solution of one teaspoonful Zonite added to one- quarter glass of water used night and morning as a mouth wash will destroy breath odors and act as an excellent preventive against pyorrhea. Dental authorities have stated that the daily use of Zonite in this manner, together with regular dental inspection, reduces the likelihood of contracting this discase to a minimum. Sore Throat Nearly all the ailments of the throat are due to bac- terial infection. Prompt relief, therefore, can not be obtained without the use of an effective germicide. One part Zonite to five parts water as a gargle or throat spray usually clears up and controls throat in- fections. In severe cases, especially when ulcerations are present, the throat should be swabbed with pure Zonite and your physician called. Begin treatment promptly when symptoms first appear. For Burns, Scalds and Blisters Zonite is especially valuable in the treatment of burns, scalds and blisters. It prevents infection, aids in removing charred or dead tissue, helps to reduce in- flammation, and accelerates healing.: It also lessens scars and disfigurations that are apt to follow wounds of this character. For Personal Hygiene Zonite is the ideal antiseptic for personal hygiene. Poisonous caustic compounds, such as bichloride of smercury, phenol and cresol solutions, etc., are tremen- dously harmful when used regularly for douche medi- cation. Any physician will verify this statement. Write for the Zonite booklet on personal hygiene for women. For Dandruff Dandruff (seborrhea sicca) and many other scalp irritations a due to bacterial infection. Zonite has proved remarkably effective in re- moving these annoying condmor.w. It kills the micro-organisms, dis- solves and removes the scaling in- r crustations and exercises a stimulating and tonic ef- fect on the scalp tissues and hair follicles. For Catarth Zonite affords a most efficient local treatment for this condition. Used as a nasal spray it quickly loosens the hardened incrustations of mucous matter, clears up the nasal passages and soothes and heals congested membranes. Note—Atomizer fittings in which Zonite is used must be of hard rubber. Rash, Skin Eruptions There are numerous kinds of skin eruptions classed as eczema. Many of these yield readily to the applica- tion of Zonite. A few trials will de- monstrate whether or not the antisep- tic will be of service. Chronic skin troubles and skin troubles induced by system disorders should receive the attention of a physician. For Old Sores Zonite is remarkably effective in healing old sores and slow healing wounds. Used in a strong solution it will aid in dissolving dead tissue and removing proud flesh. By killing the germs, it stops the discharge of pus, rendering the sore clean and healthy. A milder * solution used daily will aid in rapid healing. Poison Ivy In cases of poison ivy and similar plant poisoning, Zonite is perhaps the most effective remedial agent known to materia medica. Itacts with extraordinary promptness in cleaning up the inflammation and re- storing the skin to a normal condition. For Insect Bites As a relief from bee stings, mosquito bites, chiggers and many other insect bites, Zonite is particularly ef- fective. If promptly used, the antiseptic will lessen the pain and reduce swelling and irritation. Bad Breath (halitosis) Breath odors are usually caused by a bacteriological condition of the mouth. Zonite is the one form of an- tiseptic with real germicidal power that can be used freely in the mouth. Its effect is far more thorough and far more lasting then pleasant tasting mouth washes heretofore used for this purpose. For Body Odors Objectionable body odors are cause. by a germ (bacterium foetidum) which infects the sweat glands of the arm-pits, feet, etc. A scientific body deodorant must not only dispel the odor but des- troy the germs which cause it. Deodor- ants which merely replace one odor with another or clog the pores are harmful and inefficient. Zonite kills the germs, destroys body odors promptly and effectively and leaves no odor of its own. Rids the Home of Deadly Poisons It is no longer necessary to keep the skull and cross- bones type of antiseptic in the home. Zonite, while highly germicidal, can cause no fatal accident. It alsa supplants pleasant tasting mouth washes and gargles, heretofore in' general use, that according to govern- ment reports, have no detectable germicidal power. Zonite is a clear, colorless liquid that does not stain and leaves no odor. It is the last word of science on the subject of antiseptics. Ask your druggist for the Zonite “Handbook on Antisepsis,”” which describes ;:xlly the protection which the antiseptic brings to the ome.
