PRIMARY

Chances Are That Kinder
Measure Providing for
Holding Lake County City
Primaries in August Will
Become a Law.
TILES EoREAU,
Ar STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS. md. Jan. "a
There appears to be fair chance that
the bill introduced by Senator Kinder
OF Lake county TO change the dates for
holding city primaries VIII be passed
and become law. II has already pass
ed the senate and is in the house. it
would fix all city primaries i'll the
state, except ia Indianapolis. for the
first Tuesday after the third Monday
in August. Ia Indianapolis the pri-
maries would be held on the first Tues
day after the third Monday in May.
It is reported that the real reason
why Kinder wants the bill passed is
that he wishes to run for the nomina-
tion for mayor Of Gary. and if the pri-
mary was held under the present law
in March he would have no chance to
make a campaign for the nomination
because he viii be tied UP in the SEES
sion Of the legislature until that time

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of a small Jar of or
binary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
ful lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifier, by squeezing the Juice
OF two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through a fine cloth SO no lem
on pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every wo-
man knows that lemon Juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and
is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener 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 sweetlv
fragrant lemon lotion and massage #
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t should naturally helm to
whiten, soften, freshen and brirss
out the roses and beauty of anv
skin. 1t is truly marvellous to
smoother rough, red hands.

Conspiracy to Destroy Lake Shipping
is Disclosed

Secret investigation by government
agents has disclosed the existence of
a conspiracy to destroy or hinder
shipping on the Great Lakes and
thereby delay the organization of
American war armies and check the
flow of food and munitions material
from the West to the East, states a
Washington dispatch of the End.
No conspirators have been captur-
ed and the identity of none has been
made public, but State, navy and JUS
tice departments are cooperating to
bring the offenders to punishment.
The Canadian government probably
will be called upon to help.
This plot, engineered by Germans,
assisted by sympathizing American
citizens, is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the succession of "ac-
cident" to lake shipping, especial
ly in the neighborhood of the Sault
Ste Marie canal, which began about
a month ago. The steamers Saxonia
and Pentacost Mitchell were sunk at
the mouth of the 500 river, with the
evident intention of blocking the
channel. The steamer Venetian Maic
was sunk in the Detroit river, with
the loss of one life and later an at.
tempt to dynamite the steamer Mack.

Urges Use of Non-Alcohollc Natural
Iron as TOnic-DOesn't Hurt
Kidneys
The main danger in treating the
blood and system for uric acid and
rheumatism complaints lies in the ex-
cessive use of alcohol, which appar-
emily must be used by the chemist
to hold together the various medicin-
al elements found in the ordinary
patent" medicine referred to.
Iron alone disturbs digestion,
causes constipation and is very in
furious to teeth, but alcohol only in
creases the appetite for the moment
and the last excuse for its presence
is banished by the discovery Of Acid
Iron Mineral, a natural medicinal
iron mineral which contains
three forms Of iron together with CAL
cium, sodium, potassium, magnesium
and sulphuric acid,-al1 of which are
valuable and non detrimental to the
stomach, kidneys, bladde~, nerves AMI
blood.
Acid Iron Mineral is highly con-
centrated, non-alcoholic and econom-
ical and goes from. two to ten times
as far as other and weaker iron RENE
dies. 1t is just pure, powerful,
medicinal iron for weak, nervous,
rheumatic, rundown people. Results
from it's use are wonderful.
