Juice of Lemons!
 How to Make Skin
 White and Beautiful

At the cost of a small jar of ordi- nary cold cream one can prepare full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into bottle contain ing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and re- move such blemishes as sallOwness, freckles and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of or chard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant 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 wonderful to smoother rough, red hands. Adv.

Irish EIaas.

Since sooner or later home rule will be a fact in Ireland, the question of an Irish flag is one which should be set tied as rapidly as possible. A good deal of thought has been given the sub- ject since the passing of the Home Rule Act. Apparently the proposals which have met with most approval are red St. Patrick's cross on a white ground, charged with four shamrOcks and a, golden sunburst on a blue ground" The latter was the banner of FiOnu MacCumball's Fenians. An other design which has supporters con sists of three golden crowns on blue ground, part of the arms of Munster. This was Ireland's national emblem from the twelfth century until the three were replaced by the harp, by order of Henry VIII. Nobody has pro- posed green as one of the colors; green first being used by the United Irish men in 1798 as an ''amalgamation" of the orange of the North with the blue of the South, blue being Ireland's own heraldic color.-Christian Science Monitor.

His Most Exciting Experience.

A Welsh officer, we'll known as a Rugby footballer, was asked what was his most exciting experience at the front. He said he could not decide, but that the following incident was one of his most thrilling experiences. He had come from the trenches, and was looking forward to fairly restful time in billets. Entering his room, he was about to throw himself into seat when he heard hissing noice. It sounded just like lighted fuse, and, with thoughts of spies and bombs flashing through his mind, he forgot his fatigue in wild dash outside. Get ting to shelter, he waited to hear the building being blown up, but a minute passed and nothing happened. Then his orderly poked his head out from somewhere and said, Kettles sing ing, sir

HOOVER REVEALS FIGURES
Urges immediate Passage of Food Bill So That United States Can Reg uIate Amounts of Foodstuffs
 To European NeutraIs.

Nashington.-The United States, unwillingly, has been furnishing Ger many with the most valued of the food products she herself lacks for the successful prosecution of the war.
 Fats in sufficient quantity to ration all of Germany's 100000 men under arms are entering the Teutonic em- pires from Holland and Scandinavia. These countries get these products di- rectly or indirectly from the United States. Hence the desire for speed on the part of the administration in making effective the embargo author ized by Congress.
 Herbert c. Hoover, food administra- tor made public for the first time the definite figures in this trade which have impelled the United States to hasten the rigorous control of exports to these countries. The figures come from English sources. They are re- garded as conservative.
 Supposedly neutral merchants have made fortunes out of this illicit trade with our enemies. So extensive has their business become that scores of men in Holland, Norway and Sweden are known through all the cafes and places of resort as the "Goulash mill lionaires.''
 Congress has already provided for the exports council consisting of Sec retary Lansing, Secretary Houston and Secretary Redfield Secretary Redfield is the executive officer of the council.
 It's orders, requiring all exporters of food from the United States to se- cure license under which their busi- ness with the Teuton feeding ports be absolutely controlled, may be expect ed to be made effective during the week through proclamation by the president
 Indicative of the importance of this trade to Germany, experts here have figured that the calories contained are the equal of the calories in the entire ration of 2,500,000 German sol diers. This is about the number of men which Germany now has on the western front.
 The publication of the figures by Mr. Hoover assures prompt action. This action will not deprive the peo- pie of neutral countries of a food sup ply to which they are entitled. Their supply will be so restricted that they will have some to pass on to Ger many.
 Germany has used her trade rela- tions with the northern neutrals to coerce them. They have needed Ger man coal. Germany has released to them certain amounts of coal in re- turn for fats.
 Exemplifying the way the United States has lent itself to the trade at- tention was again called here to the huge imports of oil cake into Den- mark, Holland, Norway and Sweden. The oil cake was fed to cattle and the rich milk it makes turned into butter and cheese and sent to Germany.
