LEMONS BRING OUT

Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.

What girl or woman hash t heard of
lemon juice to remove complexfons blepns
ishes to bleach the skin and to bring
out the roses, the freshness and the
hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone
is acid. therefore irritating. and should
be mixed with orchard white this way.
Strain through a fine cloth the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle contain
ing about three ounces of orchard
white, then shake well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and com
plexion lotion at about the cost one usu
ally pays for small jar of ordinary
cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the face, neck, arms and hands, it
should help to bleach, clear, smoother
and beautifv the skin.
Any druggist will supply three ounces
of orchard white at very little cost and
the grocer has the lemons.-Adv.

Benton and Appelmalin.

randolph Herald and News.)
The main outstanding fact in the APP
pelmann case is that the trustees, al
though they acquitted the German pro
fessor of the charges, accepted his resig-
nation, thereby indicating that in their
opinion his usefulness at the University
of Vermont had reached an end. The
action of President Benton-unexpecte
and unWelcome to at least consider
able proportion if not an actual maioritv
of the trustees-in reappointing Appel
mann to the post he had quilted was
poor Judgment, to say the very least.
Making a personal appeal for Appel
mann 5 reelection, under the relations
known to exist, of course could not help
involving the president of the univer-
sity. The departure of Doctor Benton
on what is given out as a temporary
mission to France, coming at this time
is an honor most conveniently offered
him for the sake of his own peace 81
mind and probably the welfare of the
| institution.

The State University.
(St. Adams Messenger.

Because it became Governor Graham s
duty to appoint successor to Red
field Proctor as one of the state S truS
tees of the University of Vermont, The
Burlington Free Press lays great stress
upon the incident as proof positive that
the university is a state institution.
The contemporary has picked out a bad
way to prove its contention If the
University of Vermont is a state insti-
tuition then the state has full control of
its management. If it is state univer
sity, the state is responsible for its
management. Responsibility and au-
thOrity cannot be separated Yet the
contemporary knows that the state is
not in control of the management; could
not get control of the board of trustees
if it wanted to because it is permitted
to have only a minority of its members
The governor of Vermont didn t even
get an opportunity to vote on the Appel
| mann case when the matter of his rein
statement came up. One can draw some
| differences about the state g measure OF
| control, and of how far the governor is
| permitted to direct affairs at thi.
state institution, from this fact.

We're such lot of sparrows!
And then when the sparrows had all
wen the fight, and when each one had
stood by the other, they began once
more to fight over the crumbs-against
each other!
But the crumbs were pretty well
scattered by this time, and the SPAR

them, in one day, so they all began
nibbling at the crumbs lying all about
