THE SIBERIAN TIGER.

From far up north in another land

"And 1 came with you,' said Mrs

ed strong and simple to him. These
fancy names should be given only to
creatures who We're delicate and fra
gile, he thought.
"The reason I am SO big" said Tiger,
us because l have lived in such cold
climate. And how L have loved it.
Tigers who are born down here in
the zoo don't know what it is like to be
the tiger of the biggest size and kind
that comes.
The cold weather makes US grow.
They think it's winter here, but good
ness! They don't know what winter
means"
Mr.. Tiger looked far out beyond his
cage. A few people were watching
him, but not many, for it was very
cold. They could not bear staying
outside. They wanted to look at the
animals who were indoors.
Tiger gaZed far over the heads of
the people who did watch him. He
didn't care for them at all. He knew
of land they had never been to, he
was sure of that. And he knew of
great and wild adventures such as
would have made their blood run cold
Oh, how much he knew of another
life, far, far away from the zoo and
its cages and its keepers and its chill
dren who watched a fellow as though
he were peculiar, when he simply was
very fine and noble
"They say" continued Tiger to Mrs.
Tiger and Master Tiger, who We're in
cages on either side of him, that there
are no tigers who grow to the size
that we do. Look now at my coat of
thick, shaggy hair. Isn't it beautiful?
That's what real winter has done
for me, several real winters.
"They look at me, these people, and
they SILVER as they say to them
selves, How can those tigers live out
in their yardsT
"And they ask the keeper If we
won't freeze to death.
"The keeper has more sense than
most people. He knows that we want
to be out of doors all the time. That
Is why our cages are out-of-door
cages. He has heard something Of our
life where We came from. And he
tries to give US the same as nearly as
he can"
He would never put US inside,
would he?" asked Master Tiger.
"Would he have the impudence and
impertinence to do such a thing?"
asked Mrs. Tiger, in such cross, loud

Lemons Beautify!
:: Make Quarter Pint
of Lotion, Cheap

Here is told how to prepare an
inexpensive 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
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 mon
tbs. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and mas
sage it daily into the face, neck arms

DESTROY BRIDGES
TO STOP JAPS
Russians Rae Structures on
Siberian Railroad.
STEVENS SENDS REPORT
Many Mines Have Been Placed to
Halt Advance of Mlkado's Armv
Head Of Railway Mission Says.

Washington, March 5.-The Rus
slams have begun destroying bridges
on the trans-siberian railroad between
Lake Balkal and the Chinese frontier.
John F.. Stevens, chairman of the
American railway mission, reported
this to the state department This
may prevent David R. Francis, the
American ambassador, from reaching
Vladivostok.
While without details, officials be-
i1eve the Russians are destroying tho
bridges to prevent an expected ad-
vance of Japanese troops large
number Of other structures have been
mined, Mr.. Stevens also reported, so
that they could be readily destroyed.
Mr.. Stevens, who sent his despatch
es from Yokohama, and therefore un-
doubtedly from Japanese intelligence
sources, said it was reported the
bridges already destroyed were near
Chita, east of Lake Baikal
Officials do not believe the destruc-
ton Of the railroad Is in any way
part Of plan to prevent Mr.. Francis
and the other diplomats from leaving
Russia If they choose to do SO.
The only other explanation for de-
stroying the railroads which officials
can think of is the fact that there Is
German prison camp near Chita and
that Germans may have blown up the
bridges with the double purpose Of
stopping movements Of Japanese
troops or intercepting Ambassador
Francis
At the state department it was said
no decision had been reached as to
the part the Unitel States would take
in Japan's plan for Intervention in
Siberia to prevent the railroad and
immense quantities Of war supplies
from failing into the hands Of the
Germans.
One of the immediate effects Of the
signing Of Germany's peace terms by
the Russian Bolsheviki representa-
tives probably will be to bring to a
quick conclusion negotiations among
the allies and the United States.
There still Is every indication the
the allies in agreeing to action by
Japan alone. with an understanding
as to the scope of any operations to
be undertaken.
Even before the news the Russians
formally had accepted the German
terms came, it was understood ex-
changes on the subject were about
ended.
President Wilson has been follow
ing the situation in Russia closely.
particularly because of it's close rela-
ton t., the important step proposed by
Japan. There have been suggestions
b e might before congress soon
to make a statement on the subject.

Save your hair! Make it thick, wavy
and beautiful-try this!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching CT the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
onight-now-any time-will sure
ly save your hair.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and 1uxuriance which Is
SO beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance Of
an Incompatible gloss
and softness; but what will please
you most will be after just a few
weeks use, when you will actually
see a lot of fine, downy hair-new
hair-growing all over the scalp
