Lemons Whiten and
 Beautify the Skin! :. Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remark able 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 beauti- fer.
 Just try it, Make up quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face. neck, arms and hands. It should nat urally help to whiten. soften. freshen. and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It 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.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-Secretary of War Baker today reiterated that there is no serious shortage of rifles for any of the troops. For the ex- pediticnary force in France, five Springfield rifles per man have been provided and the ammunition store being assembled is so great that the secretary believes there is no ground for fear that interruption of the trans port lines for a time would create

She says I ought to feed the cattle and dig spuds with spade, while I am planning siege and battle, retreat and ambuscade. Tis ever thus with wives, my masters. great things they do not heed they care no boot for wars disasters. if there are COWS to feed To plan great wars I'm amply able. and wish to, but wife begs that I will crawl beneath the stable and gather all the eggs. Oh there are times when I'm disgusted because I have no chance to point out all the punk, dingbusted boneheads they've pulled in France. I know just why the war goes slowly, and I could tell them how to put an end to strife un- holy, and break the Germans now. But when I start my explanation, my wife gets on my trail and drags me from my congregation, to pack a wa ter pail. She doesn't care to hear of trenches, or of the German slump; she says I ought to take some wrenches and fix the kitchen pump. She doesn't care about the navy that sails the dark blue sea she says I'll have to stir the gravy while she is brewing tea. And thus the patriots rewarded. who loves the rag to chew; there's always something punk and sordid that he is billed to do.

Boards Criticised.

"I cannot realize what is the final aim of these boards in forming an army of foreigners ro fight for this country for what they have no affec-
 ion. nor has this country any lien on them, unless to create foreign legion, as in France, but that is bcdy com posed of volunteers. The fact remains that these Boards are casting aside human rights. the very thing for which the United States army is said to be sent to fight for. Such acts only ere ate a feeling of deep animosity be. tween the two countries. sowing the seeds of hatred and revenge in the heart of Mexicans who are at pres en. cruelty and roughly treated.
 Thus is destroyed the long work of years in which both countries have been trying heartily for a sincere friendship between their peoples.

About half a gallon exploded and sent a sheet of flames through the compressor house.
 Before the flames in the superstruc- ture could be extinguished, the fire had started down the timber of the shaft. The shaft is the old one which had produced about S13.0O0,000 in gold and about $1,50O,00O in molbydenum. It had a second outlet. so no one was in- jured.

Situation Abnormal.

The climax Of this abnormal si.ua- tion is the lack of responsibility that the boards assume when they commit such unjustifiable acts. The case has been more astonishing because of their apparent disregard of aliens rights when they attempt to recruot even con sular agents with full knowledge of latter's status.
