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 orchard
white. Put these in a bottle and
shake well. Here you have a whole
quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon lotion at about the cost one
must pay for a small jar of the or
binary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
Juice through a fine cloth so no lem
on pulp gets in; then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every wom-
an 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 beatifier.
Used by day, this sweetly fragrant
lotion protects the skin from the
evil effects of the weather and pre-
vents roughness, redness, chatting and
smarting. At night it works in the
pores while you sleep, and is intended
to bring a freshness and peach-like
beauty that wins envy and admira-
ton.
Just try Il! Make up a quarter pint
Of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage It daily into the face
neck, arms and hands. It naturally
helps to whiten, soften, freshen and
bring out the roses and beauty OF
any skin. II works marvelously or
rough. red hands. Try 1t and see fol
yourself.-Ad

HOTEL MEN aim TO
EXTEND GAME SEASON
Audubon Society Charges 'Iniqui-
tous" Scheme Under War
Saving Cuise.

Under the guise Of food preserva-
tion. hotel and restaurant men of the
country are accused of a shrewd at
tempt TO lengthen the reason IN which
birds and game are destroyed. Il was
declared yesterday. The hotel and
restaurant committe OF the Food Ad-
ministration. composed OF sixteen men
prominent In their line Of business
have recommended that the United
States government urge the States TO
lengthen their game and fish seasons
Officers of the National Association
Of Audubon Societies, the big bird pro-
tectiye organization of the country.
with membership OF over three
hundred thousand. regard the new
move as shrewd measure on the
part OF the hotel and restaurant men
TO try to get more game sales.
In a letter written 70 Herbert c.
Hoover. Food Administrator, con-
cerning this recommendation, 7. Gil
bert Pearson, secretary OF the associa-
ton, says:
"our knowledge OF their past record
In game matters leaves no other con-
clusion. The committees recommended
ton. IL adopted. would tend TO widen
game destruction. Everybody knows
how the hotel and restaurants charge
for game on the bill-of-fare. / regard
the recommendation as iniquitous
unnecessary and in exact contraven-
ton of your food control program, in
that 1t undoubtedly opens the way for
the destruction OF birds that help
keep down insects that destroy food
crops. We regard the preservation Of
the birds as a vital war measure. II
there ever was a time in the history
Of America when we needed TO pre-
serve our wild bird life IL is now"

DECLARES KAISER'S
SOUL IS Damned
Buy Liberty Bonds and Aid in His
Defeat. Says DR.. Martin.
Copyright. Underwood & Underwood, ny.

When We buy a liberty bond we
send wireless message to the Kaiser
that reminds him that the principle
FOR which he stands are as certainly
doomed as his own soul is damned
for this world and the next"
The Rev. DIR. II. d. Martin, pastor
of Wesley Chapel. gave expression
to this stinging hrase when he de-
livered powerful sermon on The
Nations present Appeal to Patriot
ISM" The Rev. DR.. Martin declared
that the sinking of the first Amert-
can transport and loss of seventy lives
would only so infuriate the United
states as to make more speedy the
crushing out Of the damnation of
Prussianism.''
The hand of Almighty God is
against the Kaiser. One Of the worst
things for themselves the Germans
could have done at this time was to
sink one OF our ships and kill seven
ty men. II aroused the patriotism Of
our people, filed us with the spirit
Of revenge, and helped as nothing else
could to sell liberty bonds. This
country will respond to the Kaiser's
atrocious act by over-subscribing the
liberty loan.
THE supreme business OF this na-
ton is to win the war. The matter in
hand is the subscription OF the liberty
fund. We have drafted human lives
into the service of the country: now
we must draft our money. Surely
our dollars are not more precious
than our sons. Everybody can get
into the war by giving something to
the liberty loan. The duty is impera-
tive. Every liberty bond we buy
should be sealed with a prayer to
Almighty God for the downfall of the
house Of Hoheuzollern and the vic
tory of the allied arms.

The Washington herald., 1917-10-23

$4,000 will be raised, this latter fund
to be used only in case OF emergency,
but it was predicted last evening that
in all OF these camaigns 1t has been
unnecessary TO call upon the guaran-
tors because of the fact that the col
lecuons at the various services more
than Offset any deficiency at the
time. These pledges were distributed
last night among the assembly and
as a result n large part of the first
$1,000 was raised. and 1t is sure that
the other will be raised within a
short time.
On Sunday. November II, every
protestant church in the District will
be called upon to do its part in the
preliminary work. by taking up a
special collection for this first cash
fund, and also each church will be
expected to do its share towards the
guarantee fund. A committee which
will have charge Of all disbursements
was named last night, consisting of
NJ. o. Chance, chairman; Byron S.
Adams. ]. c. Let's, c. Weller and
W. X. Cooper.
At the conclusion OF the general
meeting last night 4 meeting of the
general finance committee was held
when ways and means were devised
for best presenting this question be-
fore the various churches.

At a mass meeting held at Mount
Rainer, Maryland, last night, each
person present was asked either to
buy a liberty bond or explain why.
George ]. Hecht. Of the National

Charles B. Calvert, a local lawyer,
than spoke and at the conclusion of
his address asked IL there was any
one in the audience who would buy a

bonds of that denomination.
A number of $500 and Sl00 bonds
were then subscribed for. Then every
man a4d woman in the audience was
asked to buy n $50 bond or. explain.
The only excuse that was accepted
was that they had already sdbscrib-

newsboys in the audience subscribed
for $50 bonds on the 81 week plan.

ed the meeting fifty people suDscrib-

GARDINER APPEALS
FOR LIBERTY loan
Commissioner Says Capital Must Set
Pace for Country.

At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Brightwood Citizens Association in
the public school house. called for
the purpose of arousing commun-
ity interest in the sale of liberty
bonds, Commissioner W. Gwynn
Gardiner sounded the keynote of the
situation by declaring that, unless
the District oversubscribed its allot-
ment of s20,000.000 IL would produce
such a moral effect upon the public
mind as to result in a prolongation
Of the war for at least another year.
All eyes are turned upon this city.
he declared, by virtue OF its being
the Capital of the nation. and its ex-
ample would serve as an object les
son for the entire country and tend
to either encourage or discourage ef-
forts in other sections.
Since becoming Commissioner, Mr..
Gardiner said he / dd been placed in
a position where he could feel the
pulse of community sentiment respect
ing the present war and was grati-
fed to know that such a patriotic
spirit pervades every walk of life,
and that this unity of feeling can
have no o;heI outlet than along the
highway OF success.
AS an example. Commissioner Gar
diner cited the case Of Bobby" Bell.
son OF a local banker, who had made
every effort to serve his country by
offering to enlist in several different
corps. only to be turned down on ac-
count Of physical disability and how
he was now doing his share by utiI-
iZing his auto for the benefit of the
soldiers, and otherwise contributing
to their entertainment and general
welfare.
The Rev. Forest ]. Prettyman,
chaplain Of the United States Senate
and pastor of one of the Brightwood
churches. likewise aroused a great
deal OF interest in his remarks in
c'dent to experiences in Greece and
Turkey at the outbreak of the war IN
1914. Other speakers, including Albert
S. Galley, George Francis Williams.
and Charles w. Ray. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow evening at

meeting last night in Epiphany
Parish Hall. in G street, when
representatives of every Protestant

umbia packed the hall and completed
preliminary plans for this campaign,
which 1t is believed will far surpass
any expectations of those who have
been foremost in securing the con-
sent Of the Rev. Sunday to come to
Washington.
Daniel Baker, general chairman of
the Baltimore campaign was one of

lated the residents OF Washington

age"

William H. Morris. executive secre-
sented testimony to show the great
success of the campaign in these
words: II want you people in Wash
ington to remember one thing above
all else: that Mr.. Sunday and the
workers with him, with whom 1 came
in contact are desperately in earnest
and thoroughly sincere in the work
which they are doing" Mr.. Morris
paid a particular compliment to the
work done by Miss Miller, who has
charge of the young ladies' depart
ment with the campaign, and also of
Mr.. Ward, who conducts meetings in
factories and stores throughout the
campaign.
DR.. James E. Walker, advance agent
Of the campaign, expressed gratiflca-
ton at the large meeting and said:
Il am going to wire Mr.. Sunday to-
night in Los Angeles that II there has
been any doubt in his mind about
coming to Washington that he wants
to forget it" He also gave testimony
