NEW YEAR DAY
Nineteen Sixteen Departed Without a
Splash in Topeka.

Topeka celebrated New Years today
in calm and unimpassioned manner.
Nineteen Sixteen, departing, didn't stir
up troubled sea of hilarity last night
for Nineteen Seventeen to embark
upon today. Most of the celebration is
taking place today.
Banks are closed, and barber shops
will be closed this afternoon, Some
stores are open, but a large number
have given their clerks a holiday The
postoffice was open until 10 O'Clock
this morning, and one city delivery
was made by the carriers. Then things
grew quiet there. No deliveries were
made by the rural mail carriers. There
is but one general holiday on which
the rural carriers are required to make
their runs, and that is Christmas.
Santa Fe employees in the shops and
general offices are enjoying the latter
part of their second two-and-a-half
day lay off within a short time. The
shops close at noon each Saturday and
the offices at 1 o'clock in the after
noon. Some other business concerns in
the city give their employees the same
privilege.

THE British army is we'll fed and is

case these have been stamped out al
most instantly. We did this by con-

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-

about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice thru a 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 ard remove such blem-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan
and is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener and beautitier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white At any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out

is simply marvellous to smoother

SAVE DADS LIFE
GET IT FOR HIM
Says it is suicide to cut corns
and tells how they lift
right out.

You simply say to the drug store
man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce
of fTeezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all. car be lifted .ut
with the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ores feet o.
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that while freezone is
sticky it dries in moment, and seems
to simply shrivel up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but cut this out and make him try it.
