INFLUX Of POETS
NOTED IN MEXICO

Mexico City.-Mexico is having an
influx of poets. Salvador Rueda, the
Spanish poet, has just completed n
visit to the principal cities OF the re-
public which was made the occasion
of The most elaborate public functions
in his honor. He was received by Gen.
eral CarranZa and was entertained by
state governors and public officials.
Manuel Ugarte, an Argentine poet. is
expected to arrive shortly and prepa-
rations already are being made for his
reception. The announcement has also
been made from Madrid that Francis
co Villaespesa, a. Spanish playwright
and rhymster shortly will visit this
country.
As an evidence of the high esteem
which the muse is held in Mexico, the
story Is often told of the skirmsh in
Tamaulipas in 1914 between federal
troops and the command Of General
Orteaga in which the revolutionist
troops discovered one OF the enemy
hiding in the branches of tree. They
were about to shoot him when he cried,
Don't shoot me-Im a poet" He was
allowed to descend unframed.

Most Common Of Bodily Ills.

BY far The most common Of bodily
ills is constipation. The usual cause
is the indifference of many people to
Natures call. The inclination is not
needed, or it is put off until a more
convenient time. When this is done
repeatedly. constipation is almost sure
to follow. 1t is of the utmost import
ance that everyone establish a certain
time for the bowels to move each day
and let nothing interfere with it. When
that Is done and proper food and ex-
ercise are taken and an abundance of
drinking water the bowels are no,
likely to give much trouble. When a
laxative Is required take Chamberlain's

Walter Ralphs, Big Grocer,
Leads Campaign for Low
Cost of Bread.
(ey Mark Larkin.)

Los Angeles, Cal, June 23.-Now
, that IL wholesale baking concerns and
Is individuals are facing grand jury
indictments charging them with con-
spiracy to fix the price of bread, Los
Angeles citizens have stopped COM
planning about this phase of the high
cost of living.
This wholesale indictment of bakers,
resulting from a sweeping investiga :
ton Of boosted prices, includes some
OF the Oldest firms and best known
men in the city.
Men familiar with conditions declare
that n handful of honest retail mer-
chants prevented u price jump to 20
cents a loaf.
a,hief Of those who led the fight
against an arbitrary increase in bread
cost is Walter Raiphs, head of tn.
largest retail grocery concern on the
Pacific coast. His store handles about
1000 loaves of bread day.

Ralphs, last April when all bakers of

to raise the wholesale price of bread
from S to Il cents "A loaf. They agreed
also to fix the retail price at 10 cents
n loaf
According to Ralphs, the wholesalers
intended to make this price stick by re-
fusing to sell bread TO those retailers
who would not agree to dispose OF
bread at Is cents a loaf.
When told that the bakers not only
contemplated raising the wholesale
price but also proposed TO dictate the
price at which he should sell their
product, Ralphs refused to agree. AM
other meeting of wholesale bakers was
called and it was agreed. according to
Ralphs, to boost the price and to have
a committee wait on the grocer to
influence" him.
Would Not Agree.
Ralphs told the committee he would
pay the wholesale price for bread.
which he considered legitimate, and
that he would raise his price in pro-
portion to the increased cost; but that
he would not agree to sell for Is cents
q loaf straight.

A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare a quarter pint at about
the cost Of a small Jar Of
common cold cream.

When this home made lemon lotion
Is gently massaged into the face, neck
hands and arms daily, the skin natur-
ally should become soft, clear and
white. and the complexion dainty and
attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon Juice to remove complexion
hlemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses. the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid. therefore irritating. and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain thru a fine cloth
the Juice OF two fresh lemons into
n bottle containing about three ounces
OF orchard white, then shake well and
YOU have n whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for 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 pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face. neck, arms and hands II natur-
ally should help TO whiten, clear,
smoother and beautify.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces OF orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
ladies' can easily prepare and have
an inexpensive toilet aid. which per-
fectly satisfies their natural desire for
q beautiful soft skin.-Adv.
