TO AILINC WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help

No woman should consider herself

weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretions when the kidneys are well,
are retained in the body when the
kidneys are disordered. If the kid
neys and bladder become inflamed and
swollen worse troubles may quickly
follow. This is often the cause of
bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, etc. Uric poisoning is also fire.
quent cause of headaches, dizzy
spells, languor, nervousness and rheu-

When suffering so, try Doan's Kid

Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons
into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at 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 re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier: ;.
Just try it! Make up a 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
IF orchard white at little cost, and
any grocer will supply the lemons.

WOMEN DRIVE MOTOR TRUCKS
Not So Dressy as Some Jobs, but It's
HeaIthfuI, According to One
Of Them.

To release skilled mechanics for
other work and thus give some help in
the war, there are seven girls at one
motor factory whose daily tasks con-
sist In driving newly finished cars from
the factory to the shipping dock.
And the girls won't trade jobs now
for any of the purely feminine pur-
suits, says the Washington Times.
They get greasy and dirty-they have
had to throw away chamOis and pow
der puffs because they are futile-but
still they like the job and they all say
they would not trade 1t for place at
the kitchen sink or on the firing end
of a sewing machine.
"It's a much better job than being
a department-stOre detective" Mrs.
LOtta Dupuis, who formerly tripped
shoplifters and sneak thieves in a
downtown store, says. "Of course il
isn't so dresSy, but it's healthier and
I like 1t better. Also can make more
money for the support of my three
kiddies."
Mrs. Wanda Ludeman backs up Mrs,
DupuiS. She formerly was a govern
ment operative in rounding up viola
tors of the Harrison narcotic law.
81 took the job because 1 wanted to
help the government, and every WON
an who does one mans work releases
man for the firing line," said Mrs
Ludeman.

DOCTOR FITTED FOR LEADER
Much In Knowledge Of Medicine to
Equip Man for High Pub
Tic Service.

There is much In the knowledge OF
medicine to fit man for the high call
ing Of lawglver and leader Of the
people, says DIR. Frederick Peterson, In
the Century. He continues:
ITO reach the goal Of national
health, the physicians accumulated
knowledge and experience must be
brought to bear upon the laws which
relate to fit marriages, to housing and
the food supply, to education, occupa-
tIOns, recreatiOns, hygiene and SANTA
tiOn, to contagious diseases, alcohol
ism, poverty and crime; in short, upon
every law which relates directly or In
directly to the health and well-being
Of the people. His interest reaches
into. the depths Of sociology, biology
and philosophy, to the relations be-
tween persons and groups, between ma
tions and races. The interests of medi-
cine are fixed only by the boundaries
Of life itself. When the great state,
with its great free municipalities is at
length established, when war and pow
erty and disease and unemployment,
as we know them, have been banished
to the vast rubbish heap Of mans out
grown ignorance and folly, 1t may be
that the physicians Of that nObler time
will be expected to frame wise laws
not only to insure individual health
but to prevent the disease to which
the organism of the state, the body
polite, has in all earlier social stages
been subject"

Welsh Intermarryinu.

A remarkable instance of Welsh
family intermarrying is given in a
quaint chronicle of local events kept
by one Peter Roberts, notary public,
of st. Asaph, who died in 1916. He
wrote: "UpOn Saturday evening, the
xxviith day of NOvr., 1924, Thomas
MOstyn, Esq, and Gwen Parrie, wild

of the said late Lord Bishop, were

The Modern Way.

The conversation in the lobby Of a
Washington hotel turned to the sub
ject of modern methods when little
story along that line was contributed
by Congressman Claude Kitchin Of
North Carolina.
Some time ago young man became
enamored of a beautiful girl, and
after cOurtship of some months he
mustered sufficient courage to tell her
of his great love.
Tonight" said he as they sat one
evening in the alluring gloom of the
veranda, II am going to your father
and ask for your hand in marriage"
''That is very fine, Harry the pref
