Warning Cards to Be Sent.

A map of the city showing the
emergency districts and the location
of the stations is being prepared in
the public health Office under direc-
ton of DR.. Mustard. Many thousands
of stickers and cards will be sent out
warning against contagion and how
to halt it.
DR.. Mustard reported today he found
the emergency work in the public
schools accomplishing much for the re-
lief of sick calls sent in. Three addi-
tional physicians were added to the
corps of four already on duty from the
public health service yesterday. These
stations will undertake to supply nurses
and physicians services and emergency
drugs. This service may be reached by
calling Main 5000 and asking for the
emergency station in school building
in any particular district. The city has
been divided into four zones with sta
ton in u SchoolhouSe.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

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 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
fragrant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. 1t
is simply marvellous to smoother
rough, red hands.

IS CREEL sACRosANCT?

Among the rules for censorship OF news from
the American front in France is one which pro-
hibits refrigeration Of our activities, accom-
plished or contemplated The reason as
signed for thus putting on the brake is that our
allies respect for our promises may be affected
It is too bad that like restraint cannot be
applied on this side of the water, and especially
that George Creel cannot be brought under its
provisions. Mr.. Creel is the most serious of
fender in this respect that we have had, be
cause his official position as civilian chairman
Of the committee on public information gives to
his exaggerations and embroideries of the
truth an authoritative status which is denied to
the ordinary newspaper or magazine writer.
Mr.. Creel persists in his error, to use no
harsher word In recent speech to confer
ence of American lecturers he proclaimed the
things which we have done and which we are
about to do in superlative terms which do not
match up either with the facts or with the flu
turtles of the case. So gross was his exaggera-
ton of what he said had been done and of what
he said would be done that many Of his hearers
were aghast and took the story to the capitol
where they begged their representatives to
take action to curb Mr.. Creel's recklessness of
utterance lest the nation should be brought into
ridicule and disrepute. Unhappily, whatever
any member of congress may attempt to do or
with Mr. Creel will probably result in nothing
more than blowing off Of individual steam
because the president seems to be welded to
Mr.. Creel III manner which provides no di-
vorce-a vinculo politico

The mind is learned and the heart
is natural. The mind travels impa-
tiently. pores over the books, put
down figures and rattles test tubes
and connects wires and drives nails
or bakes a loaf OF bread or digs a
garden or guides plow-and then
goes home at night to be comforted.
The heart may not even have read
the newspapers. The heart may not
be sure OF its spelling. The heart
may be a thing that often stands be-
witched and forlorn In the presence
of the visible universe and the un-
realized divine immensfties.
But the heart sees things that the
mind has never seen. The heart en-
folds in it's compassion all the griev-
Gus maynard goings Of the bruised
and broken, the tortured and wasted,
the outcasts and the afflicted.
Happiest of all is the life that is
ruled by mind and heart working in
unison. The twain should not be
found at enmity. They were meant to
serve each other Kindness is not
prohibitive OF knowledge; wisdom
and tenderness may dwell in amity
together. 1t is no proof Of greatness
to keep ones head In the clouds Of
oploftiness-the patent OF nobility
for human nature lies with the heart
that lives on the common level rather
than with the mind uplifted to sub
Unity. The glory born Of good
ness" may fill uameless grave on

, General Pershing himself who sug-
gested that the American forces be
brigaded with the French and British
for the purposes of this drive. This
involved on his part the loss of an
Independent command, out of which
glory might have been gained for
himself. But he had the right spirit
in preferring the good of all the allied
nations rather than his own fame. 1t
is one of the best evidences of his

by the home economics extension
workers from Iowa state college. Po-
tatoes are getter cheaper than they
have been for some time. 1t will be
economical to eat them in quantities.
The use of potatoes will enable wheat

tatoes are not quite the same as
wheat. their use will tend to cut down
the use of flour.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL, so FAR.

In review of events and accomplishments in
the period of government operation Of the rail
roads, the Railway Age has drawn conclusions
which have exceptional value because of that
journals intimate acquaintance with railroad
problems. For over three months the govern
ment has been making the most important ex-
pertinent in public control Of transportation
which any gvernment has ever made with con-
troll of any large industry. This experiment
began under trying circumstances Not only
were the railways congested when the govern
ment took them over, but weather conditions in
January made it impossible for some lines to
earn operating expenses. The situation was
better in February, and by the end of March
much of the confusion resulting from the adop-
ton of government control had passed. Con-
gestion has been reduced by putting an embar-
go on freight the government did not care to
move, but shortage has increased
The Railway Age expresses satisfaction with
the basis established in the railroad control bill
for compensating the companies for the use of
their properties. 1t says that the railroad adj
ministration has handled the passenger traffic
problem very skillfuly. The administration is
praised for skill and fairness shown in its deal
ing with the railway labor problem. Satisfac-
tory results are expected to follow the creation
of permanent Cancellation boards to settle cues
tons relating to wages and conditions of en-
ployment
But while the administration has done many
things well, the Railway Age says it appears to
be adopting policies of dubious character.
The attempt to standardize locomotives is char
acterized as a dangerous experiment It is well
enough to standardize freight cars, because thew
must go everywhere and be operated under all
conditions but ''the greatest efficiency in loco
motive operation cannot be obtained unless loco
motives designed and built to be operated
under special conditons.'' This is expert eriti-
cism- OF the same sort is the statement that the
director general is carrying Capitalization sol
far that he Is depriving many railway officials |

The weary way!
Ah maybe weary now, once how gay
The happy way!
How sweet the pleasant path the feet how light,
And every hour fled like angels flight!
Alas, how dim and dark this step seems
And vague dreams!

With flying CLEANS,
And every wind is soft a caress
And every voice is lifted but to bless
All, that next tread into the deep alone!
Nay, not alone,
For heavenly love is all about thee thrown,
n And close thine own!
Yet lead the sinking foot-the silence sings
But they that hold thee have such lofty wings! n

Our Exclusive Process Gives
TroCO Its Real Butter Flavor
Solpes the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. 1t tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter" or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter favor.

Compare 7fOcO zCith the
Best Creamery Butter

The test of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel us to label
it as an oleomargarine. This is
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best Is tolerated. Here flavor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity Of Troco.
