 At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare full quar- ter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautitier by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing thrse ounces of orchard white. Care shouN be taken to strain the juice through q, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem- on juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as sallowness, frecklcs and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try 1t! Get three ounces Of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften freshen. bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful to smoother rough. red hands.--Adv. p

ALLIES WITHOUT RESERVATION
Washington, April 14.-The house
will vote to lend SO, 900, 600, 900 to the
allies at OGce and without important
reservation.
It showed this clearly today when
amendments offered by Democrats
and Republicans to restrict the loan
ing and the time for repayment of
the money included in the admins
tration's $7,OOOOOO,OOO bond bill
were attacked viciously by both
Sides

from the loan. He said he wanted
congress to control the loan. The
amendment was defeated by PIT to 8.
Towner himself did not vote for it.
Another amendment offered by
Rep. Moore of Philadelphia proposed
that the allied loan should be repaid
within 80 years.
Republicans and Democrats, plead-(
ing that the allies are fighting Amer
ica's battle, denounced the text and
spirit of the amendment.
Moore, weakening under the at
tack, changed his amendment so as
to make the time for repayment so
years.
Several amendments of the ways
and means committee, designed to
overcome possible objections, were
agreed upon. One says none of the
money shall be loaned except to
countries engaged in war with a
country with which the United States
also is at war. Another says none of
the $3,OOO,OOO,OOO that may be left
in the treasury shall be loaned after
the war. Both amendments were
considered unimportant by the COM
mittee and were agreed to by SeC'y
of the Treasury McAdOO.
Congress now is beginning to fall
in line. Coming to a realization that
volunteering is contained in the ad-
ministration army bill, as well as the
selective transcription idea, many are
now acceding to administration pres
sure. Confident predictions were
made today that the plan will pass.
What army men now want is speed
and the pressure is being exeTted to
that end.

Grafton so forceful that a separate
German-Russian peace will be out of
the question.
If Russia chooses she could have
American help in re-shaping her gov
eminent along republican lines,
though that idea does not actuate
the proposed sending of the commits
sion.
Similar commissions will be sent
to Italy, England, France and per-
haps Japan.
RUssia's needs, however, is reCOg-
nized as the most pressing now be-
fore the warning nations.
Her industries are crippled; her
transportation system is disrupted
and inadequate; and she has literally
millions of men in army service that
cannot be supplied and modified as
a real fighting factor.
The. commission s task would be to
vitalize all these factors.
It was stated that the visit of
Charles r. Crane to Russia is not a
part of the government plan, though
Cranes influence with some of the
Russian leaders and his closeness to
the Wilson administration is expect
ed to be of assistance in paving the
way for the commission.
