Most Of us eat three times a day
and often forget that each meal
should be disposed OF in the stomach
to make room for the next. The
failure of the stomach to do this is
called Indigestion or dyspepsia, with
it's sour risinEs, gas. rumblings, pain,
depression and the feeling OF stuffi-
ness when breathing is difficult.
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because YOU can
get IL at any drug store in the United
states or Canada, Is Stuart's Dys-

or going on n starvation diet simply

Women! It's Cheap!
Use Lemon Juice
and Make Lotion

To keep your skin and complexion
naturally soft, white and clear at
all times you simply must use a
lotion or cream every day. But
choose the one that is best and
costs the least.
The juice Of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white
makes a whole quarter pint of the
most remarkable beauty lotion at
about 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
remove such hlemishes as freckles,
sailowness, and tan. and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener, and
beautifler.
Just try this lotion. Make up a
quarter pint OF this sweetly frag-
rant cream and massage IT into the
face, neck, arms, and hands. 1t
should naturally help to whiten,
soften. freshen, and bring out the
hidden roses and beauty Of any
skin.
Your druggist will sell three
ounces OF orchard white at little
cost. and any grocer will supply
the lemons.

Potato Week.

Next week is going to be called

this part of the country there have
been many bushels Of potatoes grown
which have not been used. II these
potatoes are allowed to spoil, the
farmers will not plant as many
potatoes IN the following year az
before on account Of the loss of crops
and shortage Of help. In this case
there would be great shortage Of
that all important food, the potato.
So it Is our patriotic duty to aid the
farmer in disposing Of his abundant
crop of potatoes. We eat bread as q
fuel food. but we do not stop to
consider that potatoes are also a fuel

Near Cape Horn, in the islands of
Tlerra del Fuego, live the most curious
people In all South America. 1t rains
or SHOWS or sleets nearly every day.
and yet they look ON their country as
the finest In the world They wear
hardly any clothing and seem not to
feel cold. Because he saw fires on the
shore the explorer Magellan. the first
European that rounded the Horn, called
the island ''the land of fire." which is
almost the worst name he could have
chosen. Their huts are made of bent
boughs and covered with grass and
give only the poorest shelter. The folk
are vain, too, wearing necklaces of the
teeth of fishes or seals and painting
patterns ON their bodies Among them
seme colors have a novel meaning.
White Is the sign of war and red of
peace. They are great mimics and will
initiate voice and gesture perfectly.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1918-03-22

THIS is no time for any of the
loyal people of the entente allies to
think or talk of peace. To do so is
enervating and tends to help a
momentarily victorious enemy. A
peace now would mean a victory
for the kaiser, for he is not yet
defeated. 1t would mean the as
cendancy of despotism over free
government, of brutality over
benevolence. If the nations of the
entente, including America, want
victory, they must think and talk
of war and devote themselves to
developing ways and means of ex-
ceiling the enemy in military
strength and skill. A nation that
is the instrument of system that
glorifias war and sets out to crush
human liberty by the sword can be
defeated only by coming in contact
with fighting force superior to its
own.
