Raw Sugar Hirher.

It Is Understood Cuba Cane Sugar
Company is getting an average OF II
cent per pound higher prices for its
raws than a year ago. When Cuba
Cane was formed 1t was found that
previous owners OF individual CEN
trails had sold futures heavily at
rather low prices. Consequently Cuba
Canes average selling price in 1916
was not especially good and was be-
low what many other sugar producers
realized. This year average selling
price should be enough higher to at
least offset increased cost of produc-

Decrease In Cuba Sugar Crop.

The probable maximum sugar crop
In Cuba this year will be 2.50o. 900
tons, according to cable advices re-
ceived by the Department of Com
merce from the American consul gen.
eral at Havana. Fire interrupted rail-
way traffic and labor disturbances
have caused great decrease in out
put, the report says. The maximum
estimated now represents q decrease
from early estimates of about 500 900.
Little authoritative information is
available as to amount of decrease at
tributable to revolution, but loss OF
100000 tons seems to be a conserva-

LONDON, April 3.-The knIghting
OF Samuel Hardman Lever marks one
of the pleasant Incidents Of Anglo
American relations. When the war
broke out Mr.. Lever lived In New
York, and not many OF his wide circle
of acqualntances In America knew
that although he had lived In the Uni
ted States more than thirty years he
had never become an American citi-
zen
Mr.. Lever was an expert accountant
and statistician, and had built up q
business reaching to all parts of the
United States. As soon as the war
started he returned to England and

and skill as a business organizer were

In charge OF the work of cost ac-
count, Mr.. Lever was declared by Mr..
Montague, who was minister Of muni-
tions, to have saved the government
many millions OF pounds. On the
financial side, as distinguished from
the Industrial, no single person con-
trlbuted more than Mr.. Lever to es

production of the kingdom and to
keeping 1t on something like a sound
business basis.
Nothing could be carried on at loose
ends under the Lever organization.
His rigid methods were not always
popular with officials, who at first
could see little use for the complex
scheme of cost sheets and detailed
reports which he created, but It pres,
emily became apparent that his plan
was precisely what was needed to
check extravaganza and produce ef-
ficiency.
in the beginning OF his work Mr..
Lever found manufacturers OF muni-
tions charging excessive prices. He
calculated what reasonable prices
ought to be and insisted that the
manufacturers accept these terms.
They promptly retorted that Il was
impossible: whereupon Mr.. Lever de-
.manded that they produce their cost
sheets. Rather than do this they re-
duced the price.

Lemon Juice is
Skin Beautifier,
Also a Whitener

- Many women use just the juice of
lemons to bleach or whiten the skin,
but pure lemon juice Is acid, there
fore irritating, and should be mixed
with orchard white.
At the cost of a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
Juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tie 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 remove such blem-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan,
and is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener and beautifier.
Just try II! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage 1t
daily into the face. neck, arms and
hands. 1t should naturally help TO
bring back TO any skin the whiteness,
the sweet freshness and flexibility of
which 1t has been robbed by careless
rAss or trying atmospheric conditions.
