ORANGE Blossom Earns.

A minor trade which has been badly
hit is the orange blossom industry.
Weddings are simple affairs nowadays
and there is not much demand for the
fragrant white flowers. Practically all
the orange blossom that reaches Lon
don is grown in the south of France,
few miles back from the coast line,
in the sheltered valleys of the AlpeS
Maritimes.
There is, in ordinary times, always
demand for the blooms, for the per-
fume manufacturers are ready buyers
if the other market should fail. These
plantations are handed on from one
generation to another in the same fam
lily, and there would be small encour-
agement for rival planters as the trees
do not yield much in the way Of
floral crop until they are fair age

VISIT TOMB OF WASHINGTON
ENJOYS OF ALLIES PAY TRIBUTE
TO PATRIOT.
Wreaths Laid On Tomb of Hero III
Memory Which Joins Hands of
Three Nations in Revolution.

Mount Vernon, April 30.-The flags
Of Great Britain, France and the Unit
ed States floated together over the
tomb of George Washington. Beneath
them, spokesman of the three great
democracies paid homage to America 8
soldier and statesman and pledged
themselves, each to the other in the
name Of the dead, to prosecute the
present mighty struggle against autoc-
racy on the lines he himself had fol-
lowed in bringing America into being.
In groups of twos and threes, an
eminent gathering, including the mem
bers Of the French and British war
commissions, the Presidents cabinet
and members Of Congress had strolled
up through the sloping grounds from
the river bank until perhaps half a
hundred people stood with bare heads
in semi-circle before the tomb.
Viviani Speaks.
Without formality, Secretary Dan
iels motioned to M. Viviani, minister
of justice, who advanced slowly into
the center. Before the tomb of Wash
ington, M. Viviani delivered in French
an address in which the whole force
of his emotional power, deepened by
the significance and sombreness of the
occasion fought for expression.
Governor Stuart of Virginia spoke
as the host on Virginia soil.
Marshal Joffre next came forward
in Field Marshal's uniform. Simply,
earnestly, he spoke in French two
brief sentences:
"In the French army all venerate
the name and memory of Washington.
l respectfully salute here the great
soldier and lay upon his tomb the palm
we offer our soldiers who have died
for their country"
Place Bronze Wreath.
Two French officers came forward
with the bronze wreath from the
French nation, the highest mark Of
honor which the French nation can
accord the dead. Bending over the
marshal passed through the narrow
entrance and solemnly placed the
wreath upon the stone coffin.
AS Marshal Joffre passed back, Mr..
Balfour came forward with the British
wreath of lilies and oak leaves tied
with the colors Of the three allied ma
lions. He, too, entered the tomb and
placed the British token beside the

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. J. II. wATsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality Of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.

and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You

now without bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

foreigners, officials of the foreign Of

CONSUMPTION MEASURE CAR
RIEs IN HOUSE, 397 TO "a, AND
VOTE IN SENATE IS 81 TO-
IN FAVOR OF BILL.
MINOR CHANGES MADE;
TO BE ADJUSTED LATER
Age Limit for Service Supplies Dis
crepancy to Be Settled by Con-
ferees from Both Houses
Roosevelt's Proposal Fur
nishes Another

Washington, April 30.-The Ameri-
can army in the war against Germany
will be raised by CONSUMPTION. The
fight in Congress for the administra-
ton selective draft measure was won
after days of the hottest kind of de-
bate, when the House passed the bill
by vote Of 397 to "a. The bill, In
somewhat different form, was passed
later by the Senate, 81 to 8.
Ages of Service.
AS passed, the House bill would
draft single men between the age OF
21 and 40 years, with the President
having authority to designate which
ages shall be called to the colors first.
The Senate measure would cOnscr1pt
single men between Fl and II years
inclusive. This difference in the pro-
visions will make it necessary for the
measure to be sent to a joint confer
ence of House and Senate members
where the ages prescribed may be ar
ranged together. 1t appears certain,
however, that the Senate ages will
finally be adopted with modifying
clause leaving to the discretion of the
President as to what ages shall be
called upon to form the first big army.
Representatives Davis, Van Dyke,
Lundeen and STEVENSON of Minnesota,
voted against the bill, as did Senator
Gronna of North Dakota.
Many Give Support.
The overwhelming sentiment for the
Presidents plan of raising a huge
army changed the obstruction which
crept up in the House to one of sup
port. Representatives who had threat
ened to bolt the President in his stand
to compel military service have now
Hocked to his standard.
BY unanimous vote, an amendment
was included in the House bill to in
crease the pay of enlisted men and
commissioned officers in the army
and in the national guard by SIS a
month, making the pay Of enlisted
men 5000 a month.
Support for Roosevelt Plan.
Senator Harding's amendment to
the bill designed to permit Colonel
Roosevelt to raise four infantry divis-
ions for service in France was adopt
ed by the Senate, Sc to 81. Many
Democrats voted for it. A similar
amendment had been rejected by the
House recently.
Bills Main Provisions.
The army draft bills main provis-
ions call for:
A total armed force Of 1,900,0 900 men.
An army of $4,000.
A national guard Of $4,000.
Filling the gaps in the militia by
volunteer and forced enlistment.
In addition the raising of 100000
in two groups of 100000 each by Sc
lective CONSUMPTION.
Liability to service of all male citi-
zens between the ages of p ana 40
years, inclusive.
Exemption from service OF those be-
longing to religious organizations
whose creeds oppose war, clergymen
OF recognized religious denominations
and federal and state officials.

MARSHAL JOFFRE TELLS AMERi-
CAN PEOPLE THAT FRANCE
cHERISHES HOPE U. S.
WILL TAKE ACTIVE PART.
MARINE HERO ADDRESSES
AMERICAN NEWSPAPER MEN
Asserts That Soldiers Of Two Repub-
lies Fighting Shoulder to Shoulder
Will Hasten End of War and
Tighten Links Of Affection
Uniting TWO Countries.

Washington, April 30.-Marshal Jof-
fre told the people of America thru
Washington newspaper correspondents
who called on him that France cher
ishes the confident hope that the flag
of the United States soon will be fly
ing on her battle lines.
Victories sure to be won by the
soldiers of the two Republics once
more fighting shoulder to shoulder for
liberty, the hero of Marine declared
will hasten the end Of the war and
tighten the links of affection and es-
TEEN which have ever united France
and the United States" The mar
shall, replying to questions, said he
deemed it advisable to send one Amer
lean unit at time to France rather
than to wait for the complete equip
ment of big army because of trans
portation problems.
Army to Develop Fast.
He gave it as his opinion that an
American army would develop rapid
ly.
1t was just before the marshal and
other members Of the French mission
started for visit to the tomb Of
George Washington at Mount Vernon
that the correspondents gathered at
the home of Henry White, where the
chiefs of the mission are being enter
tanned. The newspaper men were ush-
cred into large gray walled recep-
ton room in the center of which was
a broad council table.
Emile Hovelaque, general counsel
lor of the mission, addressed them
briefly, concluding by saying: And
now, gentlemen, you shall see Cen
eral Joffre. He will read you a state
ment and then you may ask him ques-
tons"
Greets Newspaper Men.
A door opened and the marshal
walked in accompanied by Lieutenant,
Colonel Jean Fabry, 'the blue devil
of Franco" his chief of staff and other
officers Of the commission. The IA
nous soldier took position at the
head of the council table, while his
callers crowded nearer and began to
file by. AS each approached he spoke
his name and the name of the news
paper he represented. 1t was repeat
ed to the marshal in French, there
was a clasping Of hands and in the
case of those correspondents who
spoke French, word or two of greet
ing.
Then the marshal took from the
pocket of his jacket two typewriter
sheets of paper and began in French.
When he concluded the correspond
ents applauded and he smiled.
