Complexion Lotion!
Use Fresh Lemons
and Strain Juice

Any grocer will sell you two fresh
lemons and your drug store will sup
ply you with three ounces of or
chard white. Put these in a bottle
and shake we'll. Here you have a
whole quarter pint of the most Won
derful lemon lotion at about the cost
one must pay for a small jar of the
ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
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, smoother
and beautifer.
Used by day, this sweetly fragrant
lotion protects the skin from the evil
effects of the weather and prevents
roughness, redness, chatting and
smarting, At night it works in the
pores while you sleep, and is intend
ed to bring a freshness and peach
like beauty that wins envy and ad-
miration.
Just try it! Make up a quarter
pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon
lot ion and massage it daily into the
face, neck, arms and hands. 1t ma
turally helps to whiten, soften, fresh
en- and bring out the roses and beauty
of any skin 1t works marvelously
on rough, red hands. Try it and see
for yourself. Adv.

Keep Abreast With Work
In the Con1ptroller's Office

when Comptroller Ernest Amos took
charge of the office, there were sixty
nine reports due which had not been
received at Tallahassee. All but eight
of these have been secured since that
time.
The redemptions made during
March by the comptroller's office
were the largest in the history of the
office, SOL ,84455 being sent out in
the shape of numerous checks to the
various counties.
The receipts of the tax redemption
department for the first six months
in 1916 were S80,13811, and for he
first sig months in 1917 they were
$334,573.12, an increase of $254,-
435.01.
The comptroller's office is now pay
ing pensioners monthly instead of
quarterly as in the past, as a result
of the efforts of Comptroller Amos,
and now that Treasurer John c. Lun-
ing has declared that no money shall
be drawn during the quarter by
state employees, Mr., Amos is planning
to inauFurate monthly payment by
warrants for the employees Of the
statehouse. All this means more
work for that department but better
service to the state.

SPECIAL, TO THE JOIrRNAT


Tallahassee, Fla, July 1.-THE

itol is growing with every month, is
being more closely kept up with than
in the past, the same force is doing
the work 81 not an employee in that
department is working more than
eight hours a day. This is due to the
fact that a more effective system has
been inaugurated. County officials
are being encouraged to, or rather,
required to, make their reports more
promptly than in the past The vol
ume of work has come to be so
large that it cannot be permitted
to get behind.
In the matter of tax sales and re-
demptions, the various clerks of the
court are being required to make
their reports monthly, and for the
most part they are we'll up with them.
This means that it is easier for them
to report promptly than if they were
permitted to be several months be-
hind. The incentive to stay Caught
up" is there. Only eight monthly
reports of clerks of the court were
not in on June first outside of the
twelve reports due from one clerk
who defaulted. On January first,

CURIOUS FEARS OF SOLDIERS
One breads That His Charcoal Burner
VIII Be Destroyed Although In
different as to Himself.

1t Is extraordinary what curious
fears some soldiers have. One fighter
always breads that his charcoal fire
will be destroyed by shell. He al
ways places the burner in the most
protected part of the trench, but re-
mains quite Indifferent In regard to
his own personal safety.
Another extraordinary fear Of sol
der at the front Is that Of having his
bootlaces united. Nothing else has
terrors for him. from bayonet fighting
to asphyxiating gases. But he Is quite
certain that If his bootlaces are loose
he will trip over them and break his
neck. He always examines his laces
to see if they are properly fastened.
Another soldier who has been through
the thick Of the fighting Is terribly
frightened of going through q wood,
and would rather walk miles round 1t
than half mile through 1t. He has
the fear that some day tree will sud-
denly fall and crush him..
Many soldiers have horror Of los
ing their identity disks, or Of being
unidentified If they are killed, and
buried in nameless grave. One man
Is known to carry little scraps of paper
In every pocket, giving his name and
regiment, so that his body may be rec
ognized If he Is killed.

Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.

One of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of it's dominant posi-
ton in the rubber trade. Whereas, a
few years back, the world looked to
South America for most of it's crude
rubber, it is now getting the larger
share from the far East. The Bra
lillian product is obtained from trees
that grow wild, and little has been
done toward cultivation of the trees.
In Sumatra, Ceylon, Burmah and other
countries millions of trees have been
set out and are now coming into bear
ing. This domestic product is said to
be slightly superior to that obtained
from Brazil, and the trees improve
with age The financial loss to Brazil
through its decreasing exports has be-
come a serious matter.-New York
