The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-02-14

DIR. Malcolm Gum, of Chicago, who
is spending the winter at Crystal
Beach, is one of the best impersona-
tors of Scotch and Irish character in
the United States. History fails to
record whether he ever made his liv-
ing giving these representations, and
there's where history made a mistake.
There's a blank page in the book
which some of the great art critics
failed to get information about, and
the book went to press with the page
blank. In small way this item will
supply that deficiency, and if you at
tend the entertainment given in aid
of the Episcopal church at the Royal
theatre Friday evening, you will OBJ
serve from the really artistic work
of DR.. Gum as an impersonator of
character (Scotch and Irish) that our
cry is ia just complaint about this
blank page in the book of history.

DR.. c. P. Amber, the noted special
list of Asheville, N. c., surprised Mr..
and Mrs. Cham Hill with call yes
terday. The. doctor and his family
are spending some time in st. Peters
burg on their way to Havana, Cuba,
and being so near could not resist
the temptation to call on their old
friends and patrons in Tarpon
Springs. Mr.. and Mrs. Hill took their
guests over the city and showed them
the many beauty spots which made a
most favorable impression on the doe
tor. Especially did he admire Lake
Butler and it's high surrounding hills.
He thinks it an admirable location for
a great sanitarium end it is among
the list of possibilities that one will be
located there. At any rate these
prominent people will not soon for
get Tarpon Springs and the delight
full day spent here.

The second number in the lyceum
course passed into history last evening
when a capacity house assembled to
hear DR.. A. w. Lamar deliver his lee
ture, "Dixie Before the War" For an
hour and half Dr.. Lamar told in a
vivid manner incidents of the, great
southland. His word-pictures were so
lifelike that one could almost see the
characters in the drama. He is some
times pathetic and at others sarcastic,
cutting, keen. His logic is forceful, his
conclusions true. Those who listened
to him will never forget the feeling
and pathos. with which he told of his
"Old Black Nanny" Dir. Lamar is
one of the few who represent the old
school of southern orators. whose
passing is greatly to be deplored. "My

Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself. r

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating,

fine cloth the juice Of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing about
three ounces of orchard white, then
shake we'll ard you have whole
quarter pint Of skin and complexion

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
it should help to bleach, clear, smooth.

Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem
ons.

June 1916 Is National Recruiting
Week-North Carolina is Asked for

lime 1916 Is National Recruiting |
Week-North Carolina is Asked Tor
20 Recruits for U. S. Marine Corps
To the PEOPLE of North Carolina:
The week of June 1916 has been
designated as National Recruiting
Week for the United States marine
corps. Four thousand enlistments
have been called for during that week.
This number of recruits, am inform
ed, is absolutely necessary in order
that this efficient branch of the ma
tons nnilitay service may dc the job
assigned to it now with the same
thoroughness and high degree of eft.
ficiency as has marked the work of
tho American marines on every sea
and in every land from 1898 to this
crucial hour.
North Cardinals quota of recruits
needed is only seventy. Of this num-
Der the Raleigh recruiting station is
asked to furnish fifteen men; the
Durham recruiting station, fifteen
men; the Winston-Salem recruiting
station, twenty men; and the Char
lotte recruiting station, twenty men.
call upon the people Of these four
cities and of the whole State to rally
to the marine corps during the week
designated. Indeed, it ought not to
require a week; day should be long
enough to raise the States full quota
of recruits for this great arm OF our
eountry's defense.

vantage he has in the variety OF ex
perience and training are unexcelled
He is drilled as an infantryman; NJ
