Juice Of Lemons!
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost of small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beauti-
fer, by squeezing the juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
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 and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons frof the grocer and make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t
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.

A Friendly War.

"I have heard it argued by some that
this ought to be a friendly war. we
should do nothing or say nothing that
would give offense to the German peo-
pie. IL we were at war with the German
kaiser only, the end would be quick
But we are at war with the German
nation, whose people have dinerent
view from us. and are attempting 10
force that view upon. the world.
Mr.. Bangs dealt with the German
governments distribution among Ger
man people of sermons preached by
German ministers on Americas en-
trance into the war, notable among
these being that sermon in which
speaker had declared his own great
glee at hearing the cries Of distress
from Americans going to their death
at the hands of the submersibies.
Berlin Treatment of Gerard.
The. speaker compared German
treatment of Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin, with the treatment accorded
Bernstorff in the United
States, at the break in diplomatic re-
lations. following which telephone
wires to the American embassy in Ber-
lin were cut, while the United States
was providing Bernstorff with spe-
cial train and a guard OF secret SER
vice men to permit OF his safe depar-
ture from the country.
German treatment of their prisoners.
as related by Mr.. Gerard. included
the custom of permitting civilians to
shoot at the prisoners with nail-point-
ed arrows. and the maintenance by Of
ficers in some camps Of dogs trained
to bite the English and French prison.
ers. Also. their consignment to sure
death of French and British war pri-
soners whom they placed in a Russian
prison camp where typhus had broken
out
"And yet" said the speaker, 1--WE are
told we ought to stand silent because
Germany is a new kulture."

Tima 70 Act.

Mr.. Bangs contended that II no
boats had been sunk. If no Americans
had been killed, 1t was time that
America took a hand for the mainten-
ance Of the principles OF liberty in the
world.
America went to war not because her
president or her officials wanted her to
go. but because the people said it was
their duty. In nations such as this, the
president never leads the people into
war, the people themselves decide the
issue.
I'VE. most Of us in this audience"
said the speaker, are too old for actual
service, but there isn't a man living
wouldn't rather sacrifice himself than
his boy. Gods will be DONE will be the
word to his boy as he marches forth"
America's Delayed Decision.
Americas decision to enter the war
didn't come until after Germany had
declared she had taken possession of
the seaS-the seas that belong to the
world; not until after Germany had,
like murderer, sunk the Laconia, and
not until after she told us she would
treat crews upon armed merchantmen
as pirates.
In interior America, Mr.. Bangs con-
tended, there was greatest need for
patriotism, for permitting q condition
contrary to the best interests Of the
government develop, for an internal
trouble would spread till it ultimately
affected the whole body polite. 1t is
the duty Of every man, he said, to spot
those who are not with the United
States in this war; organization OF
community committees to list every
man as to his patriotism, and then, IL
depredations occur, the field of in
vestigation is narrowed to the few.
Irish Are Loyal.
In Ireland, a handful of agitators

they have fought in every war, for

Germany declared war on Russia,

had sent her armies to Paris, she
would have made the job of pushing
her back across the line that much
more difficult. But Belgium. prevented
that. And IL they had beaten France
and England, they would have said TO
the United States, what care we for
the Monroe doctrine England has
been fighting our fight, and il is now
time to enter into a compact with her
that no peace shall be accepted till

the abolishment of despotism, are
things that must grow out of the new
peace. When that comes, there will be
no need for the League to Enforce

The great feats of valor of the Can
adam armies were lauded, and he
voiced the hope that American troops
would similarly distinguish themselves
when they go to Europe, II they do.

with respect to fire losses as compared
with other states. Mr.. Runge has just
received from the National Board of
Underwriters detailed statistics which
prove North Dakota's percentage Of
preventable fires to be considerably
less than that of number of other
states which are much older and pro-
vided with better means of protection.
The national underwriters charge up
33.2 per cent OF North Dakota's fires
as strictly preventable. Rhode Island,
Delaware, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho
and Nevada In the order named report
more strictly preventable fires in pro-
portion. North Dakota is charged with
Alb per cent Of fires partly prevent

with higher percentage ranging up
to 61.S for Arizona. OF fires of unknown
origin, probably preventable, North
Dakota is charged with but 1858,
there being but five states in the
union with q lower percentage,
the lowest OF all, 1T is interesting to
note, being South Dakota. with 17.2

These percentages do not refer to
the amount Of fire loss, but only to
the proportion Of the total fire loss in
each state assignable to the different
classifications. In amount of total loss
North Dakota would rank much lower
than it does in proportion or percent
age Of loss, while the hazard Is much
greater than in older states, where the
proportion Of loosely constructed
frame buildings in the business district
is not so great.
The total fire loss in North Dakota
for 1915 was $977,277; Montana lost
$955,836, and Oregon, with consider
ably less than twice the population of
North Dakota, $2,176,37O.

In the various trades the strength
OF woman IS being taxed so that
even unconsciously she Is weak
ened-a condition that might prove
great hardship in the future not only
TO herself, but for the race.
In the new activities of tho machine
shop. the work demands strenuous
use of the body to which heretofore
woman has been unaccustomed--uses
that might seriously affect child bear
ing, for example.
No woman should so strain her en-
crgy as TO jeopardize this most i'm
portant function OF life itself Aside
from the equal pay is the great con-
sidcration of creating proper condi-
tions by which woman may work in
place OF man and not endanger her
health and that OF her children.

pOrtant truth early in the war. She
realized that overtime work for wom-
