Girls! Use Lemons!
 Make a Bleaching,
 Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strain ed into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes whole quar- ter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordi- nary cold creams. Care should be talk en to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, fresh- en, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is simply mar velous to smoother rough, red hands. Adv. Ss

SECRETARY NJ 'ADOO

HAVE FINISH FIGH I
Clash viii Come Over Raising
Revenues by Taxes Or
Bond Issues

Washington, Dec. ia clash be-
tween congress and Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo OH the issue of war
taxes xersus bonds SENS inevitable. A
determined movement is under way in
congress today to fix a definite and
stable war financial policy.
Statesmen on capitol hill have, since
the outbreak of the war, chafed under
the administration s course, which, they
claim, has relegated congress to the
background. 1t is freely predicted that
flareup may be precipitated by action
on war finances.
1t is possible to state on the highest
authority that McAdaa has not himself
determined upon the proportion of bonds
and taxes. He does not want to- DC
forced to a decision at this time. He
does not want any new tax legislation
at this session and hopes to avoid
amendment of the war revenue bill pass
ed at the last session. 1t is estimated
that $10000,0000O in bonds will be
needed to provide revenue for this year
over and above the sum raised through
existing items and $7,000,000,000 addi-
tional in 1919. With the $12, 100000, 900
worth of bonds authorized at the last
session, the grand total in bonds as
against the $5,000000, 900 taxes the rev
enue law will raise in the two years
may lead to disaster, according to high
taxationists.

the fighting with Bolsheviki forces be-

to Bolsheviki claims received here to-
day.
The dispatches insisted that capture
of Korniloff and his entire force Of
Cossacks was imminent. The Maximalist
commander claimed to have the rebels
completely surrounded
Other Petrograd dispatches reported
that the railway union had refused to
transport Kaledines' reinforcements to
his rebel colleague, Korniloff.

reported today to the fighting for pos
session of Rostoff. According to the
viewpoint Of Russia observers here,
there is little ground to believe that the
Cossack uprising will succeed. The -ol-
sheviki, it was said, will probably be
able to suppress it.
Not more than fifty delegates to the
constituent assembly arrived at Petro-
grad and attended the first meeting Of
that body, according to advices from
the Russian capital today. More than
a thousand delegates were supposed to
be in attendance.
