weeks, during which he will seek pas

his readers one-for until his return.
except for what absent treatment he
may be moved to give the paper edi-

be welcomed, but we hope that, like
lots of things we never miss until we

glad when we get on the job again.

Naval experts deduce from other in
formation that the enemy craft have
a cruising radius of not less 1han
1900 miles.
The German admiralty now has in
commission between 16O and 180 sub
marines, while the total number de-
stroyed by the Allies has passed the
200 mark, according to the most re-
liable information available at Wash
ington. If correct, these figures would
indicate that new German construc
tion has barely held it's own over the
period of four years, as at the begin
ming of the war the Germans are
known to have had about $50 subn:a-
rines.
The toll of the last six months, how
ever, has been many times that at
tanned in any previous period and e
constantly increasing allied anti-sub.
marine forces, according to naval f
ficials, will put the ratio continually
higher as time passes.

Lemons Beautify!
Strain lemon juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
reck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, whiteness
and beauty.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier 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 blemishes
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
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage II
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands, and see for yourself.

SAW OFFICER OF U-BOAT
IN NEW YORK SALOON
Claim Made by Naval Oficer-Ger-
man Submarines May Be in Close
Touch With Shore.

Information furnished by officers Of
vessels attacked by German subma-
rines along the american coast has
strengthened the belief held by several
experienced officers at Washington
that the enemy raiders have had COM
1nunication with persons on shore and
may even have landed members of
their crews in an effort to secure re-
liable information.
Positive claim that he met in New
York saloon an officer from the sl5-
marine that sank the steamer 0. B.
Jennings, is made by the first officer
of that vessel, according to story
reaching the Navy Department. The
recognition between the American and
German is said to have been install
tanecus, the latter making his escape
when the American appealed to- a
brother officer accompanying him for
confirmation of his belief
Other instances have been heard,
not SO well substantiated, of the dis
covery of evidence that German sub
marines have been in close touch with
the shore. One story along this line
was that the captain Of a coastwise
vessel being ordered to the submarine,
with his papers, was astoundC1 20 see
on the desk of the German command

the same date.
Communication between the raiders
and the main land is possible at
scores of places along the Atlantic
shore, naval officials believe, the ir-
regularity of the American coasts 1T
certain points making such possible
Recently the precautions taken by
authorities to prevent such communi-
cation have been greatly augmented
both by shore patrol and other met
Gods which cannot be discussed. It car
be stated, however, that no official re-
port has been made giving any def:
mite evidence of any enemy boat hav
ing landed.
From al horitative sources it wa:
learned Monday that there is reason tt
believe that three German submarine
have been operating on the American
coasts at three separate points. Tw'
Of these have recently ceased operat
ing" either because their stores hav
become exhausted OR as result o
danare received IN contact with tn
patrol fleets. 1t is known that tt
activities OF one boat ceased immed

body is asking for the new variety,
Calotabs. One tablet at bedtime, a
swallow of water-that's all. No nar-
sea, no gripping, no danger: Next

HERRING FISHERS DO WELL
Splendid Catches and High Prices
Have Been the Rule Among Them
for Many Years Now.

The herring fisher works always on
the night shift, not because the fish
feed at night-herring take no known
bait-but because they can be seen at
night.
Taking their cue from the whale or
seagull as TO the location of the her
ring, the boats go off two by two (for
they work always ilr couples) late in
the evening to the fishing ground. Ar
rived there, they stop their motors,
and gliding silently over the. dark wa
tiers they look for the fish.
One of the men bumps the anchor
two or three times on the bow of the
boat and instantly Il patch of water
lights UP with a bright phosphorescent

around the herring until two boats
come together, when most of the men
climb into onesboat, where they+tlraW

In this little Highland village the
men of the last two generations have
done well with the fishing. Their

New French Slang.

The language of the Poilu is as
double Dutch, to the uninitiated. Any
one familiar with the slang Of the
Quarter Latin would probably feel
more at home than most. But there
are many other ngredients-Somc
patois, some picked up in Morocco, land
some are suryivals Of the soldier slang
of the First empire. 'S.Sucl q word is
"cleber," which apparently means to
eat after one has been on the point of
starving An explanation given of the
origin of the word is that it is a cor
ruption of ''kleba." the Russian for
bread. It is said that the French sol
diers on the great retreat from Mos
COW called out Papa, kleba," to Ma
