GREAT BRITAIN TRIES A
NEW LORD OF ADMIRALTY

London. Eng. Dec. o7--The prom
inence given the retirement Of adj
miral Sir John r. Jellicoe as first sea
lord in favor OF admiral Sir Roslyn
Weymiss I'm the morning newspapers
is commensurate with his great repu-
tation and the place he long has held
II public estimation
Notwithstanding the recent severe
animadversions concerning the ad-
miralty from some quarters. several
newspapers treat the announcement
as a sensational surprise and two or
three accompany their remarks with
warm expression or regret The Daily
Telegraph calls for a fuller official
statement and the reason for admiral
Jellicoe's retirement The Daily
Chronicle regretfully recalls the
well founded public confidence in ad-
miral JellicOe and hopes those respon-
sible for the change have been guided
wisely in their decision"
The Daily Mail which lOnC has cam
paigned against admiral JelliCOe SAYS
openly IL cannot pretend regret 1t
adds that Sir Eric Geddes, first lord
OF the admiralty. deserves the thanks
OF the country for not shrinking from
painful duty. The Times, though
less frankly outspOken. does not con-
ceaI its satisfaction and sees in the
change the determination Of the gov
eminent 10 give younger men a
chance.
There is general expectation that
the first sea lords removal is only the
first of a series Of changes and il Is
evident that if expectation Is not full
filled. there Will be great dissatistac-
ton in many quarters
In the navy admiral Wemyss has
well established reputation. He also
has had large and varied experience
in the war and his services under ad-
miraI De Eoebeck at Gallipou receiveI
the unqualified praise Of naval and
military authorities.

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 remarkable
lemon skin bcautifcr Mt about the cost
one must pay for small jar of the
ordinary cold creams. Care should be
taken to strain the lemon juice through
q. 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 re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sallow-
ness and tan and is the ideal skin
softcner, smoothcner and beautifcr.
Just try It! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck. arms and hands. 1t should natur-
ally help to whiten, soften, freShen, and
bring out the hidden roses and beauty
of any skin. II is wonderful for rough,
red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons.-Adv.
