complications, for Mexico is at enmity
with the Unitee States of America.
If any difficulties can be sprung in
Mexico, involving disturbances with the
states lying on the border of Mexico,
they will help anybody who will fight
this country.
L am of the opinion-but 1t is only an
old ladys opinion-that the administra-
ton should have conquered Mexico in
1914, or should have kept out of that
country, in a neutral position. The
time may be near when a collision in the
border states will be forced upon us.
1 have no sort of question in my mind
that Germany will be quite ready to
cooperate with Villa and Carranza in
pressing vengeance on American soil.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

The Juice OF two fresh lemons strain
I'd into a bottle containing three ounces
OF orchard white makes a whole quar-
ter pint of the most remarkable lemon
skin beautifier at about the cost one
must pay for a small jar Of the ordi-
nary 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 lem
on juice is used TO bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
ymoothener and beautifer.
Just try il! Get three ounces of or
hard white nj any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
emOn lotion and massage II daily into
the face. neck, arms and hands. IL nat
urally should help to soften. freshen,
bleach and bring out the roses and
beauty OF any skin. Ii is simply mar
velous to smoother rough, red hands.

THINK WE'LL OF YOURSELF.

do not mean that you should be like
the Pharisee who returned thanks that
he was not of the class to which the
Publican belonged. but 1 do mean that
you should be sufficiently self-re-
specting to know that you are honest
and worthy to be respected for upright
ness and fair dealing. 1 do not like
the modern words. which deal with
plans and purposes that are not clean
as to virtue and morality. There are
plenty of men and women in real life
who step aside from the paths of vir-
tue and morality, but / contend that
such persons cannot entertain decent
respect for themselves, knowing as they
do that they have rubbed the bloom
from the peach, or bartered off the
richest jewel they ever owned. in the
heat of lust, or in ungodly living, for
bitter remembrance that will crop up
again and again, as the past returns to
them in memory.
"A good name is better than riches
says the good Book. The father Cor
mother) who leaves a good name to
their offspring. leaves them a valuable
inheritance. without regard to inherited
wealth or luckless poverty, in money or
real estate. Those who throw away
their own self-respect are destroying a
far more valuable thing than gold or
precious stones.
The secrets of their inner life will
work out, like the cancer germ. will at
last come to the surface. and all the
time the remembrance will cause mis-
cry and fear of detection, and char
acter will be fatally warped and the
end will be disappointment and perhaps
discovery and exposure.
The habit of speaking the truth
should be carefully engrafted in a
child's domestic and school training.
Truth is a mighty force in warding off
evil influences. and if once a child is
made to believe that a lie is a sin
against it's own happiness, and deceit
will disgrace their reputation, the child
can be rescued from the temptations
that surround it, especially in mingling
with those who tell falsehoods or act
deceitfulIy.
Self-respect is a mighty factor in the
upbuilding of character Self-respect
pays good dividends.
Therefore I have written this little
homily and counsel my young readers
to so act, as to think well of yourself.
1t will give you comfort in days of un-
happiness, like the shadow of a great
rock in d weary land"

wAEN YouE SvN as CALLED TO THE
ARMY

1t is going to be a hard parting, but
you must not borrow trouble until 1t
makes you dreadfully unhappy, because
1t may be the sort of discipline your
boy will need to make a man of him.
II is great thing for youth, either
boy or girl. to become self-reliant
There are thousands of both sexes that
go through life depending on somebody
else to support them or to tell them
what to do. or to prevent them from
doing the various things that they drop
into, because they are not wise or brave
enough to take the initiative for them
selves. The boy who goes into army
service will be obliged to take care of
himself or fail to measure up to the
requirements.
What about the temptationsT' hear
you say Exactly. The temptations
will be there and he will go under I'M
less he has willpower to restrain HIM
self and unless the mothers prayer is
heard at the footstool of heaven or
unless the boy is brave enough to go
on his knees to the Lord and ask Him
for guidance and direction.
If 1 could say one word in every
boys ear who is going into military
c mps. would say make it your business
IS much as eating or drinking to ask
your heavenly Father to lead you in
pa this of decent living. Shun the men
who follow after strange women, should
be every parents advice to the boy
they love and whose hearts are wrung
with the parting.
The government is moving along the
lines of vice restriction, but there are
bad men abroad in the land who will
share profits with bad women and who
will ensnare your son in to habits of
loose living.
1t is the great temptation that war
brings to the young men in camps 1t
is the awful vice that will rob the young
men of their health. This is a certain
ty-nothing surer. l dread the scarlet
woman in our cantonments far more
han the shells of the enemy One Will
destroy soul as we'll as body and the
other will only take the life.
In the Civil war of the fateful sixties
there were mothers meetings all over
the land to pray for the boys in the
army.
Can these mothers meetings be re-
vived?
Certainly these mothers and fathers
can warn their sons to avoid the bad
women who will try to take away their
money and at the same time ruin both
soul and body.
