RALPH ROSS
is SECRETARY
Former keokuk Newspaper Reporter
Will be Private Secretary to
Argentine Republic
Representative.

Ralph Ross, q reporter on the old
Observation-Disclosures here has be-
come a private secretary. The Bur
| lington Gazette says:
Ralph Ross. formerly member OF
Tho Gazette staff, and hundred per
cent hustler in any effort he under
took from mastering the fox irot to
solving a murder mystery, has new
Job. He is now private secretary TO
Ambes sador Naon of Argentine and Is
enrouts to Buenos Aires az the right
bower to the distinguished representa-
tive from the neighboring republic.
Ralph left this city for ST. Louis
where he took a job on the st. Louis
Republic His schooling in Burlington
was a big asset to him and the manag-
ing editor Of the Republic soon got
his number and put him out on all the
big assignments. finally making him
assistant city editor.
And that promotion proved too slow
for Ralph. He had visions Of the New
York game, and getting an offer from
one of the newspapers in that city,
started for the big town. He stopped
tn washington enroute and became en-
auoured OF a position with the United
Press association where he became
acquainted with Senior Naon and no
doubt proceeded TO make his usual hit.
The private secretary berth was ten
dered and accepted.
The next fnstallment OF the interest
ing and exciting chronicle Of the ad-
ventures OF Senior Ross remains to be
written. 1t is hard to guess whether 1t
will deal with matrimony or revolu-
ton.

Many women use just the Juice OF

of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain TT :

keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemfshes
as freckles, sallowness and tan, and
Is the ideal skin softener. smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try It, Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
