Make Quarter Pint
Of Lotion, Cheap

What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon Juice to remove complexion
blenishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses. the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice

the Juice of two fresh lemons into
bottle containing about three ounces OF
orchard white, then shake well and you
have a whole quarter pint of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost
one usually pays for a small jar of
ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice SO no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will remain

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.

Business Must Meet Farmer.

John ]. Dillon, commissioner OF the
York, has issued 4 pamphlet appealing TO
financial and business interests to CO.
operate with farming interests for their
own and the country's salvation. Mr..
Dillon has taken precisely the same at
titude repeatedly emphasized by this
paper early last spring. His personal
letter is addressed to Mr.. Business
Man" and in it he says:
This pamphlet deals with a food pro-
blem
1t is addressed to you because
II deals with responsibility that rests
squarely on the shoulders Of every bus
ness man IN every city in the State-in

We are willing to show you how to put

Are YOU willing to meet US halfway by
giving US your active cooperation?
In the pamphlet, after pointing out the
definite issue confronting the nation Mr.
Dillon says, under the caption, This Is
an Issue with Which the the Business
Men in the Nations Cities Must Deal"
The- problem cannot be permanently
met by patriotic appeals to the farmers to

however. It has shown itself simply in

show itssN In the b,oodshed and dsath
that viii accompany needless prolonsa-
ton OF the war.
The waste takes place, BECAUSE 1T
DOES NOT PAY THE FARMER TO
BRING MOST OF THIS MATERIAL
TO THE NEARBY TOWN OR SHIP IT
TO THE BIG CITY MARKET. There is
no market at the nearby town on which
he can depend for a sale at a fair price.
He knows from past experience that he
will not in all probability receive enough
to pay for the actual expense Of time and
energy involved in making the trip.
The grocer in your city is buying prac-
tically all his perishable foods through
the markets in the nearby big cities. He
cannot do otherwise under present cir
cumstances, for these big city markets
are the only markets on which he can de-
pend for steady. uninterrupted supply.
They furnish the food to the retailer
graded and packed, as it must be to meet
the needs and tastes Of the people to
whom the retailer must sell.
The farmer cannot compete in the small
city markets with this service from the
big city even though his goods are fresh
and better than the stale goods reshipped
through the big city. In the first case he
is not a dependable source Of supply. His
visits are intermittent and usually un-
announced In the second case. the
farmer is essentially producer. He has
neither the time nor the experience to
qualify as a salesman. He cannot keep
in daily DOUGH with the market needs,
nor does he understand the science Of
standardzing and packing to meet the
demand of the buying public. The in
dividual farmer lacks volume for daily
supply.
The farmer ships to the metropolitan
market from which his produce or similar
goods are reshipped back to his neigh
boring town Often the returns from the
metropolitan markets fail to equal the
express or freight charges. There is
usually a large surplus This wastes in
the market or rots on the ground. This
year this surplus is going to be larger
than ever for the farmers have responded
splendidly to the patriotic appeals that
have been made to them to plant larger
crops.
The solution Of this problem rests with
the city business man, primarily because
he is going to be the first to suffer If It is
not solved. The city is absolutely de-
pendent on the country. II the country's
food production is wasted. II 1t is del!v-
cred through expensive and wasteful
channels, If the farmer is not encouraged
to increase production, the city pays the
cost in higher cost of living. Higher cost
of living means lower scale Of living
and decreased efficiency Of wage earners
1t means labor troubles and discomfort
and increased labor costs.
The business man in the city Is in the
best position to solve this problem. He
is at the place where the remedy must
be applied. He has the initiative. the
experience and the means to organize and
control business enterprises. He has the
incentive OF personal interest, and the
inspiration Of neighborhood development,
not to say community existence.

State Automobile Inspector Ed
ward Allen has many curious exper-
fences in his work in curbing the
speed mania at Bangor in which he
has been highly successful thus far
having arrested many speeders.
Most Of the offenders claim that they
were not driving fast. One instance
Of this was heard in court last week
but Inspector Allen had a knockout
blow in return. stating that he had
expected this talk and was prepared
for it. He said he had jumped into
an automobile which he had at hand
for the purpose and set out in pur-
suit Of the offender, and although his
speedometer registered 80 miles, the
speed maniac ahead was out Of sight
in minute or two. This silenced the
respondent quickly.
The second permanent injunction
against the sale Of intoxicating liquor
to be initiated by the Penobscot coun-
ty attorney was served last week on
an Exchange street hotel at Bangor.
Another lower East Side hotel was put
out Of business some months ago by
this process. Both places had been
raNled repeatedly. but apparently
without much effect. It is said that
more are likely to follow.
