Corn.--The active covering movement by
shorts on Wednesday apparently relieved the
tension, and after an early advance Of &c
TO 24c prices weakened and at the close
were sc to Sc net lover. The weather was
distinctly more favorable for the new crop
and. while the cash position was looked upon
as strong the demand was not urgent. Some
authorities believe that there is more corn
back in the country than generally rcckoned
on and that the movement from the farms
has been delayed by scarcity Of cars. Ship
ments from Argentina for the week were
estimated at 600 900 bushels. against 3i2,

Lemons Written and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion


The Juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through 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 and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and
is the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up quarter
pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon
lotion and massage it daily into the
face, neck, arms and hands. 1t should
naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen, and bring out the hidden
roses and beauty OF any skin. 1t is
wonderful for rough, red hands.
Your drouggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and
any grocer will supply the lemons.

Harrisburger Will be Turn
:: ed Loose From Jail on
Wednesday.

Effort to locate relatives or friends
OF Charles Shaw in Harrisburg, Pa,
on Monday proved to be fruitless, &C
ocrding to A NJ. Glover, sheriff. The
official states that the Western Union
Telegraph Company returned the tel

as was written in Shaw's book could
be located in Harrisburg.
according to former Harrisburg
man, now located in Fairmont, there
is. no address like 423 Penn street or
423 Pine street or 423 Pennsylvania
avenue at the Pennsylvania capital,
although the city has streets with all
three names. The sheriff on Monday
had Shaw removed to the Jail for safe
keeping. If nothing is heard in re.
gard to Shaw's relatives he will be
turned loose Wednesday according to
Sheriff Glover.
Shaw is the young man who drained
an ounce bottle of iodine on Sunday
evening and after he had been re.
stscitated he attempted to commit
suicide by hanging himself at Cook

THE HEART
How Il Acts In Every Day Life

The human heart, in healthy man
weighs but eleven ounces. 1t beats
from long before birth until death, in
nn average lifetime, about seven mil
lion times, allowing seventy beats to
the minute. Every twenty-four hours
this slight organ performs labor equiv
alent to lifting ton of material
eighty feet into the air. If the blood
becomes poor, and filled with poisons
from diseased kidneys, the heart is not
only starved, but poisoned as well. It
soon becomes exhausted and unable
to meet any extraordinary demand
which may be made upon it. Supply
pure blood; get the kidneys to work
ing; tone up the feeble stomach! DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
purifles the blood, relieves the kid
neys and tones up the alimentary
canal. Give the heart the food 1t
needs and it will continue to work
till the natural end of life.

 The aEo"c is q pointer to boys and young men not 10 worry ill advance nor forego a noble resolution in the face of a bugaboo. It will not be for awkwardness or ignorance of mill tary forms and motions that the dread word ''rejected' is passed down at ex- animation time. Given health and the five senses, every ablebodied youth is fit material to begin on. He may pass the test sooner, become a soldier more quickly and feel that he has arrived more quickly by setting himself to work to qualify for the ordeal.
 Mental and physical alertness as we'll as bodily strength goes to the making of the soldier. Ball playing, rowing and swimming contribute to alertneSS. Some coachers advise the novice to start each day with a bath, followed by setting up exercises and hike.

a certain number of horsemen are need ed in artillery. In infantry hardy phy- sique is of first importance, and good preparedness for this arm is long, long walks, carrying load of forty to sixty pounds.
 Tn all arms of service the soldier may be required to work on sparse al- lowances of rations, coarse at that, so preparedness should include discipline of the stomach to digest the ''iron" ration served on a campaign. This suggests that there are army occupa- tions quite as important, though less picturesque, than that of fighter. Cooks are always in demand.

LIBERTY LOAN
 CAMPAIGN OPENS
United States Seeks Money
 of Small Investor.

The campaign for the sale of the first $2,OOO,OOO,OOO of the $5,000,00O,- 900 Liberty loan" began this morning, and Secretary McAdoo himself will start tomorrow on tour of the coun- try in the interest of the loan. In his plans thought has been given to "the little fellow" He Is the man expected to come forward now and turn into the United States treasury the money with which America will help her allies to fight.
 The treasury department has issued a statement designating the agencies at which the bonds may be purchased in the country, but the federal reserve banks in Washington, Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Richmond and Atlanta are specified.
 One point was made plain. AS soon as the bond is purchased there will be no delay in it's receipt Allotments will be made as soon after June 1 as possi- ble The reserve bank in the city in which the bond is purchased will send the bond. Where the. purchase is made in some city having no reserve bank the treasury department will forward the bond. v
 Just where the little fellow gets the best of it is pointed out in a significant paragraph of the secretary's statement. He announces that he will reserve the right to reject any subscription or to make allotment of any part of the amount subscribed for.
