MEANING Of Word "HohenzoIIern.r

The word "Hohenzollern" has no dis
tinctive meaning in itself, except as
circumstances by common consent have
invested it with such meaning. Origi-
nally it was the name of a German
princely family of the middle ages,
which for a long time furnished the
kings of Prussia who, when the empire
was formed, became emperors of Ger
many. The rulers of this line have
been so autocratic and imperialistic as
to make the word "Hohenzollern" sy-
nonymous with extreme autocracy and
Imperialism.

Soldiers of One Army.

"Are not all true men that live, or
that ever lived, soldiers of the same
army, enlisted under heavens captain
cy, to do battle against the same enc
my, the empire of darkness and wrong?
Why should we misknow one another,
fight not against the enemy, but against
ourselves, from mere difference of uni
form? All uniforms shall be good, so
they hold in them true, valiant men,

Ask Anvone Who Has Used II

There are families who always aim
to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Col

for use in case it is needed, and find
that is not only a good investment
but saves them no end of suffering.
As to its reliability, ask anyone who
has used it.

DOBBlN HAS A DAY DREAM
Faithful Old Horse Will Have Regular
Thrill When He Casts OFT
His Shoes.

When the automobile and the tin
Lizzie shall at last have relegated the
"hoss' to the limbo of things obsolete,
will the noble animal degenerate and
bark back to his ancestral type, or
will he simply disappear like the dodo7
asks "Zin" in Cartoons magazine.
1t has taken lot of time and pa
tience to develop Dobbin from the
primitive models such as the hydraco-
trerium, the pachynolophus and the
eohippus, to make him "whoa," back
and "gitap" and take his meals out of
a nosebag. In the process Of civiliza-
ton he has gradually lost his toes and
has had to accommodate his feet to
the horseshoe. Does he still dream
perhaps of the delights of having toes
of sinking them down into the green
sQush of the tertiary era and feeling
the cool goo trickled up between them?
If so, how glad he will be some day
to look down and see his long-forgOtten
toes beginning to sprout once again
His will be the thrill of the small boy
on the first warm day Of spring when
he can cast off his shoes and go bare
foot.
When the 'hoss" discovers for the
first time that he can again wiggle
his toes, he will doubtless radiate a
smile of solid comfort.

concluded that the bars ought to come

solid wall Of the cage, he pulled every
bar from it's fastening and flung it on
the floor Larger bars were substi-

remove After straining his back in
this futile effort, he walked up and
down in his cage and was apparently
intently studying the situation. Event

trapeze and using it for lever, he

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Stein through a fine cloth
the Juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well and
you have whole quarter pint Of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a spal jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer. has the lemons.
