LEMON JUICE IS
SKIN WH|TENER
CHEAP HOMEMADE BEAUTY LO-
TON TO REMOVE TAN, FRECk.
LES, SALLOWNESS.

At the cost Of a small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin whitener and complexion beauti-
fer, by squeezing the juice Of two fresh
lemons into q bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the 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 a dark
ened skin and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener and beauhner.
Just try 1t! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly frag
rant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands

WASHINGTON
NEWS CULLlNCS

Washington, D. C.-The great event
of the previous week and the greatest
event, perhaps, of the modern world
was the signing Of the armistice. On
November II the great war came to
an end. simultaneously came the
news that the common people were
taking control in Germany and that
royalty Of all kinds and degrees had
abdicated. Many of the ruling class,
including the kaiser, had taken the
precaution to flee to neutral territory
The common people everywhere
gave themselves up to celebrating the
great event which should mean the
end of militarism, the end of wars,
the swift sweep Of democracy over
the world, the speedy return of the
boys of the front unless those who
now control affairs in allied nations
There is widespread evidence, how
ever, that plutocrats everywhere feel
that they have made a vital blunder
in allowing the war to 60 on until the
kaiser's throne was no longer tenable.
With the fall of the kaiser all that
depended on him and was built around
hin-the big business of Germany,
the junker class, the large banking
power-fell also. In fact the kaiser
was largely a figurehead registering
the collective will of these interests.
Germany thus takes a big step to-
ward industrial and political democ-
racy at the same time. This is what
the plutocrats everywhere fear and
what the big press refers to by various
bad names such as bolshevism, red
socialism and anarchy.
In the second year of the war in
ternational bankers met secretly in
Switzerland to see whether they could
not find basis for peace that would
save plutocracy. For over a year a
powerful group Of the nobility and
special interests, speaking thru Lord
Lansdowne, have been working for
the same thing. A group Of New
York bankers recently listened to an
other banker without protest when he
argued that it was a good thing for
Germany to sieze the Russian banks
where it could and protect them from
destruction. They have failed to save
the German plutocrats, but they have
one card left which they will use un-
less the peoples Of the allied nations

Mending a Saggins Door.

1t rutlied the tidy nature Of the
handy man to have to pull and jerk
at his door to open 1t, and then to
have to coax and push to shut it. A
door should fit in it's frame like u
stopper in bottle, he thought. A
cursory examination disclosed that it
struck at the bottom. OF course, if the
swelling had been at the top, it would
have been so easy just to plane off
the surplus. But, at the bottom! He
tried tightening the screws in the
upper hinge, which were quite loose,
but found the wood so soft that even
longer screws would not hold. There
seemed to be nothing to do but re-
move the upper hinge, dig out the
soft wood and insert in its place a
piece Of new wood, which held the
hinge screws firmly and prevented
the door from sagging.

Maxims for Marksmen.

1t is strange that the novice will al
most invariably try to hit the BULBS
eye Of swinging target when it Is at
the center or in the lowest position.
This Is decidedly the incorrect meth
cd. The expert knows that the time
to shoot is at the end of the swing.
In fact, anyone will arrive ultimately
at the same conclusion, for little
thought will convince him that tar
get is the more easily hit when at
standstill, or at the end of vibrn-
ton.
The moving target as a rule has the
largest bulls eye, and Is often one Of
the easiest to strike, II you happen
to know how.
Simply aim at the point where the
center Of the target stops and wait till
1t returns. Then, bling!

DEATH CERs.,.s :
MRS. SICURDSon
DIED AT HER HOME SATUR-
| DAY AFTERNOON

The entire community was
shocked on Saturday afternoon
to learn Of the death Of Mrs. S.
Sigurdson. She had been sick
only a few days and it seemed
almost impossible that one so
young and strong could be taken
away so quickly. Everything
possible was done, but all efforts
of doctors and nurses proved fu-
tile.
Mrs. Sigurdson's maiden name
was Katherine May Scully and
she was the eldest daughter of
Mr.. nd Mrs. J. j. Scully Of this
city. She was born in Bottineau
on May 4, 1893, and was reared
here.
She was married to Mr.. Sig
urdson in June, 1915. The de.
ceased leaves, a husband, father,
mother, sister, two brothers and
|other near relatives to mourn
her untimely departure. One OF
her brothers, DR.. Frank Scully
is in the service in. France.
The funeral was held at the
residence Monday afternoon,
Father Andrieux conducting SER
vices.
We offer the deepest sympathy
to the stricken ones in their
great grief.
