DON'T FORGET TIE SOLDIERS
IN The CAMPS

The Edittr-From every nook
and corner i'll the State our young
men have gone to the camps to
learn the soldiers life. Shortly
they will represent us on the firing
line, and others will be called to
service in their places.
While they are training, what
can the home folks do to help
them? These men are Offering
their lives fer us. All that we can
do for them will not equal the sac.
rifices they are making.
After talking with hundreds Of
them in the camps, | want to offer
these practical suggestions to the
people at home as to what thew
may do. EvI.y person who reads
this statement can ca lily, ard
should, gladly, do all of them.
First, send your nome raper to
at least one soldi at the camp
Pick out c2e D tie men you know
and subscribe for your home paper
and send it to him. Any member
of his family will give you his cor
rect address. Write him a letter
and tell him you are sending it.
The cost will be tri.iing. The
thought will be appreciated. 1t is
not an act of charity, but an act of
patriotic service.
Second, at least once a week
make it point to write letter or
a card to some soldier at the camp.
Send him a magazine or good
book occasionally.
Third, keep your troubles at
home. The soldier has enough of
his own. Be strong enough and un-
selfish enough to cut out the
trouble parts of your letters. There
are plenty of good things to7write
about. The soldier has a mans
size job, and besides, he can't heir
you. Why worry him when you
nave better opportunity to look
after your troubles tan he has t
help you?
Follow these pa teal su5ees.
items and you will render service
worth while.

Lemons Written and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion


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 lemon skin beau-
tifier at about the cost of one
must nay 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 To-
ton will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon
juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan and is the
ideal skin softener, smoothenee
and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up a quar-
ter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage II daily
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. 1t is wonder
full for rough, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three
ounces of orchard white at little
cost, and any grocer will supply
the lemons.

her navy, that it is vital to her,
and that, therefore, a strong at
tack should be made upon it.
1.-The whole German navy is
now concentrated in the region Of
Kiel and Wilhelmshaven she has,
so to speak, all her naval eggs in
one basket.
Her naval power lies behind
great mine fields, just as the gar
rison of a fort in times past was
protected behind the thick walls
of fort.
But when an attacking force
found that it could not break
thru the walls of the fort, it uti-
lized scaling ladders to climb
over; and these German mine
fields, il they cannot be broken
thru, can be flown over with air
planes.
II believe that air attacks on a
scale sufficiently great would
smash those German eggs.
mo military defeat now
possible could injure Ger
many as much as would the
destruction of her fleet.
"That fleet could not possi-
bly, be replaced.
"WithOut 1t, Germany
could not even put up a pre-
tense of hope for achieving :.
the ambition for world DOM
inatiOn with which she COM
menced this war, or a chance
of maintaining even a me
diOcre place i'm the family of
nations.
Apparently the submarine
campaign is losing some of its eff
fectiveness.
but whether or not the u
boats have been beaten. we have
got to remember that the sub
marine Is only one of MANY
naval weapons, and naval
strategy recognizes the fact that
SO long as an enemy's fleet ex-
lists as a fighting force, 1t consti-
tutes a continuing menace, from
which an attack of some kind
may be expected at any moment.
For this reason, no mere drop
in the curve of submarine sink
ings should blind us to the desir-
ability of sinking or disabling the
German fleet.

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that is to dissolve
1t, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need, apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most il not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel hundred
times better. Advertisement
