Colombia and from California, Nevada and Wyoming. where it is known to ex- ist in small quantities..
 We are indebted for out present supply largely to one of our army of ficers who was travelling through south Russia at just about the time we entered the war. He saw the great need the United States would have for platinum, and without any author ity from the government he secretly bought up all the platinum he could find He had to buy it in competition with the Germans, but he succeeded in getting something like 2000 ounces at cost which am told was upward of $10O,000. He paid for this out of his own pocket and those of his friends and smuggled it out of Russia and across the Transsiberian road to Ja- pan, and thence to the United States. It is now in the hands of the govern ment.
 Outside of Russia the chief deposits of platinum are in Colombia, South America, where the Germans are buy ing all they possibly can. It is an imperative need that we send men to that country to secure every ounce that comes into the market
 The supply of platinum that we now have is made up of that import ed before the war began. We had more than 116,000 ounces in 1914 anI we have been getting something like 2O,o00 ounce a year from Colombia There is considerable in the jewelry of the stores and in the hands of pri- vate parties, and some also owned py our dentists, who use it for pegs for crowning teeth and for bridgework

sions, but Canada had then no refining plant of it's own, and a special license was given to the International Nick q company to send the metal into the United States. provided it was not sold to the Germans. We have prac- tically no nickel deposits and the bu- reau of mines suggests that the gov ernment ought to accumulate a reserve supply of something like 10000, ,0Oo pounds. and keep that for emergen- cies.
 Nickel Is of great importance as an alloy of steel and it seems to be es- sential in making the armor plate for our battleships. A war vessel plate with ordinary steel would be shat tered to pieces if it were struck with one of the great modern shells, where as if it were plated with nickel steel the projectilc would only make a dent or at best clean hole, leaving the plate unshattered. Some of the dread naughts of today have armor plate of nickel steel about s inches thick. The metal is also employed in bridge huild- ing. It does not expand or contract like common steel, and for that reason 1t is used in measuring and gauging in- struments and in pendulums for clocks which in order to keep the right tine

 Cadmium. metal used by the Cor mans for glass colaring and also for certain secret war purposes, former ly came only from Germany. It is now being produced in the United states. and we are shipping some to our allies. Thallium, which the Ger mans use for the manufacture of hard instrument glass of certain grades. formerly came only from Germany. but 1t is now made by our experts from the Hue dust of our sulphuric acid works and from the smelters where pyrites containing thallium are reduced
 Among the metals used for drugs and other purposes, bismuth and mercury have gone skyhigh since the war. Bis. muth is now sS or s4 pound, and at one time mercury was selling for 1000 per cent more than the price when the war broke out in Europe. Bsmuth is used for surgical dressings, for the treating of wounds and in medicines of one kind or another It is also used in staining pottery and glass, and as an alloy of steel md other metals The stuff is found in connection with lead, and is one of the by products in the refining of lead by electrical processes. There are large deposits of it associated with other ores in the mines of Saxony and Bo. hemia, ard some is also found in Colo rado, Connecticut and Utah. We find II in the lead, copper and lead silver mines and it can be saved from the dust of the smelters
 Mercury is important in medicine, but its value :nsc now is chiefly in the mak- ing of caps to explode shells, cartridges

and mines, and for the safe and effec tive use of high explosives in the war This metal is sold by the flask of 7s pounds. Before the war it brought $; flask. and since then it has sold al times as high as sS5o a flask. We have I deposits of it in California and in Ar, zona, Nevada and Texas. In ordinary times We can produce about 1.5oO oat pounds Ter annum. but the war prices will probably greatly increase tna, amount. The metal is used largely fot the recovery of gold and also in making electrical appliances and scientific al. paratus.
 There are many other metals which have assumed increased importan-e since the breaking out of the war, but there are nene which we have not our selves or cannot get from our allies :. great cal of antimony was formerly importe1 from Germany, but we are now getting it as a by-produet from smeltine certain kinds of lead ores. We are fint. ing antimony ores in Alaska, CalifornI, and Nevada and are importing antimony from the Ck:nese smelters. We use this metal as a1 alloy of lead in leaden pu let's for small arms and shrapnel The antimony hardens the bullets so that they retain their shape when the shei Is exploded.
 We formerly got considerable mag. nestle tor lining our open hearth steel furnaces from Austria Hungary, m, porting 1%0.eo0 tons in 1914. We are noI getting it from California, and new de- posits nave been found in the state of Washington, which are better than those of Austria. It is said that there is at least O,Ooo.0oo tons in sight, and ma; much more will probably he developed
 We are getting our cobalt from tho cobalt silver mines of Canada. We uss the stuff in connection with tungsten, n the making of steel. It increases ths strength and elasticity of the produce the addition of per cent cobalt and ss per ceat tungsten making the very best tool ste T TOW known.
 And so ! might go on mentioning other metals which we shall use for tltc army and navy and for our world trade at the end of the war.

Lemons for Complexion
Juice Of two lemons made into creamy lotion can be used to bleach, whten and soften the skin.
 Make quarter pint cheaply

The beauty lotion which is becoming so popular throughout the country is easily prepared by anyone, and a whole quarter pint of it doesn't cost any more than small jar of the common, ordi- nary cold creams
 Add the juice of two fresh lemons to three ounces of orchard white and shake well in a bottle. Strain the lemon juice two or three times through a fine cloth so no pulp gets into the lotion. then it will keep fresh for months. Regardless of what price you pay or how highly advertised, there is nothing else really more meritorious in beautifying. soften

ing and clearing the skin. As a tan and blemish remover, also to remove oiliness, freckles and sallowness, lemon juice has no rival. Massage it into the face. neck and arms once or twice each day, and just see if it doesn't bring out the roses and hidden beauty
 Lemons have always been used to bleach the skin, but pure lemon juice is too highly acid, therefore irritating.
 Try 1t! This sweetly fragrant lotion will speak for itself. Any drug store or toilet counter will supply the three ounces of orchard white at very little cost. and the grocer will supply the lemons.-Adv.

that the power of the king If Prussia
to control the policy of the empire is
unimpaired; that the determining ini-
tiative still remains with those who
hitherto have been the masters Of Ger
many.
Feeling that the whole peace of the
world depends now on plain speaking
and straightforward action, the Pres1-
dent deems it his duty to say, without
any attempt to soften what may seem
harsh words, that the nations of the
world do not and cannot trust the
word of those who have hitherto been

point out once more that in conclud-

infinite injuries and injustices of this
war, the government Of the United
States cannot deal with any but VERT
able representatives of the German
people who have been assured of a
genuine constitutional standing as the
real rulers of Germany.

masters and the monarchical auto
Gratis Of Germany now, or if it is like
ly to have to deal with them later in

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work OF fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings, is pain or stiff
colored urine; loss of appetite; ,indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
if it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. IL boxes, three
sizes.-Adv.
