FAMINE MAY COME
IF EXPORTS STOP
THREAT OF UNITED STATES TO
STOP EXPORTS TO NEUTRALs
BRINGS PROTEST.
CAUSES ALARM IN SWEDEN
Short Crops and Closing Down Of Fac.
tories Will Bring Acute Suffering
To People, Claims the OF.
fIciaIs At Stockholm.

Stockh0lm.-Washington dispatches
forecasting the sharpest limitation or
possible discontinuance of all exports
to neutrals is causing anxiety in gov.
ernment circles and among the people
generally. The situation is already
grave and prospects pictured by news
from America renders it still more
disquieting.
Crops are likely to be below the av.
erage. Many factories In various lines
are closed for lack of raw material.
Others cannot maintain production
much longer. Benzine and petroleum
are nearing exhaustion. Leather is
scarce and so dear that pair of ordi-
nary shoes cost from $40 to $12.
Automobile tires bring $500 apiece.
The cost Of living Is steadily increas-
ing. The stocks of coffee In the king
dom will be exhausted in a month.
Long lines of people standing outside
the stores waiting to buy coffee may
already be seen.
The government has already taken
extraordinary measures to deal with
extensive unemployment which is con-
sldered inevitable if the war lasts an.
other winter, and it becomes impossi-
bic to import the needed commodities.

The juice of two fresh lemons STRAIT
ed into a bottle containing thr
ounces of orchard white makes
whole quarter pint of the most rem4
able lemon skin beautifier at abouR trN
cost one must pay for small Jar Of
the ordinary cold creams. Care SHOULD
be taken to strain the lemon juice

move such blemishes as freckles, sal-
lOwness and tan and Is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener 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 sweetly fra-
grant lemon lotion and massage 1t
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to-
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty Of any skin. It
Is simply marvellous to smoother

El Paso, Texas.-Since the pro-ally
campaign In Mexico was first started
by Ell Universal in Mexico the senti
ment favoring the allies has reached
Northern Mexico and during the past
80 days well defined movement ia.
yoring an open break with Germany
and the alignment of Mexico on the
side of the entente allies has develop.
cd This has been in spite of the pro-
German sentiments published daily in
Chihuahua City and in other papers be.
lieved to be subsidized by the Ger.
mans In the north.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently In the statement by Gen.
FraciscO Gonzales, acting commander
in-chief Of the northeastern military
zone, with headquarters in Chihuahpa.
He was overcharged by the German
firm of Ketelsen & Degetau for some
padlocks. The manager was arrested
asd placed in the penitentiary. The
German consul made demand for his
release in the name of the imperial
German government and the kaiser"
according to Mexican official, who
was present at the time.
Tell the German consul he, the i'm
perial German government and the
kaiser may all go to hell Gen. Con
zales answered.
Prominent MeXieans, men in close
touch with the capital, predict Mex
leo will declare war on Germany with
in 80 days. According to these men,
all German money in Mexico City, Tor
reon. Chihuahua City and other banks
will be seized as Aoon as war is de-
clared, the German boats in Tampico
and other ports will be seized, thereby
giving Mexico a much-needed mer-
chant fleet, and all Germans will eth
er be interned or deported at once,
their properties being confiscated. The
Tampico oil fields will be made safer
for the oil supply of the allied fleets
by declaring zone in which traffic
would be restricted, and the mines,
smelters and mills reopened at once
to produce munitions metals for the
allies.
I'VE can do nothing In a military
way in Europe" said one of them.
But we can make Mexico safe for the
allied nationals and for their proper
ties, We can show our sympathy with
the same cause for which we have
been fighting for the past six years by
aiding the allies in every way even
though we are unable to assist mate
rally in the war"

"WETS" WIN IN BOOZE FIGHT
Senate Votes Against Prohibition OF
Beer and Wine-Now Up To
the House.

Washington The senate has dis.
posed of the prohibition question by
passing a law containing the following
provisions
First-The use of foodstuffs in the
manufacture of whisky is prohibited

be imported into the country during
the war.
Third-The president is directed to
commandeer all liquors in bond, and
pay the owners the actual cost. plus a
profit not exceeding 10 per cent.
Fourth--No taxes shall be levied
against the distilled spirits now in
bond.
The prohibition law was passed by a
vote Of IS to 81. II is victory for the
~wets," The "drys" failed after des
perate efforts to have beer and wine
included.
Senator Simmons. chairman OF the
senate finance committee, calculates
that the government will lose about
$670,o00,0O0 through the law. Sena.
tor Penrose says the amount will
reach sl,OOO,OOO,OOO. Senator Gore
says II will be far less than the Sim
mons estimate
II was necessary to recommit the
great Sl,6700000O0 war revenue bill
II will be held up until the senate's
prohibition law has been taken through
the house. If The house sanctions the
law it will be necessary to remodel the
whole bill and substitute other forms
OF revenue for the liquor taxes.

the sergeants are doing good work and
that complaints of bad treatment are

Deceptive But Effective.

Tobias Knowal peeped through the

his desk, put ffannel bandage around
his neck, put his arm in sling, ran
his hands through his hair, and limped

Yes groaned Knowal. "What can
I do for you?"
