Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strain
ed into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
makrable 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, smothener and
beautifer.
Just try it, Get three ounces of Or
chard 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
aturally should help to soften, fresh
en-, bleach and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is simply mar
velous to smoother rough, red hands.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-An Amer

the Belgium cross of war by gallantry
as a volunteer in an important patrol
action in which he was wounded. A
dispatch to the Belgian legation an
nouncing the award gives the lieuten-
ants name as George Peudlon, but as
no such name appears on the army
list at the war department, it was
probably garbled in transmission. The
dispatch says:
Cited in orders Of the day, for Aug
7, and decorated with the Belgian
Croix De Cuerre: George Peudlon,
second lieutenant of infantry in the
American army.
Officer possessed of the finest mill
tary qualities, bravery, sangfroid, in
telligence and energy.
Asked permission to join a patrol

de main beyond our lines.

American fashion, has been preserved,

ern form for presentation to the world

Grave Responsibility.
Perhaps the rider carries an order
to commander to bring up artillery,
preparatory to noffensive. AS Ma
poleon once said, God is on the side
with the heaviest artillery. and il
the rider fails the offensive will be
lost.
The riders make an average Of
thirty-f1ve miles an hour over the
French roads, and many times they
make almost twice this speed when
necessary. They are part of the sig
nal corps and are selected for their
GOODNESS, bravery, daring, resourceful-
ness and ability to make any kind of
motorcycle repairs under any condi-
tons and their ability to drive.

THOUSANDS OF
WOMEN TO ENTER
RAILROAD WORK
Labor Shortage Caused by
Army Needs Compells En-
ployment Of Women.
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-Thous-
aTds of women will be drawn into rail-
road employment within the next few
months to take the place of men en-
tering the army and going to other in
dustries, according to plans now be-
ing formulated by the railroad admin
istration. Women are to be employed
extensively as clerks in railway Of
fees, as expert accountants, ticket
sellers, station agents, crossing watch
men, care cleaners and to some extent
as track laborers.
A survey of different classifications
OF railway positions which might be
filled by women, will be undertaken
soon, possibly by committee or wom-
en- to be named by Director General
McAdoo. Consideration will be given
to the questions of the health of wom-
en- and also to the element of safety
In employing them for certain work.
The general policy of railroads, under
government operations will be to pay
women the same wages paid men for
same services.
This course will not result in the
dismissal Of any men, since the de-
mand for workers in nearly all fields
OF railway employment already ex-
ceeds the supply. In employing con-
siderable numbers of women, Ameri-
can railroads will be doing what Eng
lish and French railways were COM
PEELED to do long ago
Training schools for ticket agents
are being held in Washington and
New York and another school has
been authorized for Chicago. Women
with high school education, and good
health, between the ages of II and
80 are given to months of instruction
in simple accounting, and railroad
geography and are paid $25 month
while learning. Afterward they are
assured of employment at salaries
ranging usually from $65 to 500 a
month.

EASY WAY TO MAKE
FRECkLES VANISH

Freckles are great joke. but not to
the person who has them. They're
harmless, so doctors and chemists
laugh at them. But there was one
chemist who was badly freckled him
self Sc he kept on experimenting, to
penetrate the skin and fade out the
rust spots which lodge there.
Finally he found that while danthol
tetrate was not good for many things,
it was a really wonderful thing for
freckles. 1t is easily applied with
the finger tips and is quite readily abb
sorbed, besides being pleasant. harm
less and inexpensive to use.
The same treatment is splendid for
removing tan and other discolorations
of the skin And it is truly surprising
how promptly it does the work. Any
leading druggist can furnish danthol
tetrate. An ounce of it will be enough
in most cases.-Adv.

PROMISE REVISION
OF FREIGHT RATES
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13,-Freight
rate revision to be made continuously
by the railroad administration in the
future will be ordered on the principle
that the railroads should remove fun
domental injustices. and not only the
inequalities and new differentials arts
ing out of the 25 per cent advance
rate increase. This plan, explained
by Director General McAdoo, means
that thousands OF shippers are free to
protest to the railroad administrations
traffic committees against systems of
rates in effect before the government
took charge of the railways, and to
press their claims for adjustments
which will remove Determinations ia
voring other competing localities or
plants. Rate experts admit the exist
ence of innumerable cases of discrim-
nations which business interests here
tofore have not brought to the atten-
tion of the interstate commerce COM
mission.
This policy of the railroad admins
tration also is considered significant
as leading eventually to establishment
of rate systems on a scientific rather
than competitive basis.

CHAPTER II.
T Do Give and Bequeath.~ "

When Jack Barrow called again, which happened to be that very eve ming, Hazel told him simply that she had left Harrington & Bush, without entering into any explanation except the general one that she had found 1t impossible to get on with Mir. Bush in her new position. And Jack, being more concerned with her than with her work, gave the matter scant considera- ton.
 This was on a Friday. The next forenoon Hazel went downtown. When she returned, Il little before eleven, the maid of all work was putting the last touches to her room. The, girl pointed to an oblong package on a chair.
 "That came for you a little while ago, Miss Weir," she said. .Mr. Bush'S carriage brought It."
 "Bfr. Bush's carriage r Hazel echoed.
 "Yes'm. Regular swell turnout, with a footman in brown livery. My, you could see the girls peeking all along the square when 1t stopped at our door. It quite fiustered the missus."
 The girl fingered second, curiosity
  she wished to discover what Miss Ha- gel Weir would be getting In a package that was delivered in so aristocratic a manner. But Hazel was in no mood to gratify anyone's curiosity. She was angry at the presumption of MT. An drew Bush. It was an excellent way of subjecting her to remark.
 She drew off her gloves, and, laying aside her hat, picked up a newspaper, and began to read. The girl, with no excuse for lingering, reluctantly gath cred up her broom and dustpan, and departed. When she was gone, and not till then, Miss Weir investigated the parcel.
 Roses-two dozen long-stemmed La Frances-flled the room with their delicate odor when she removed the pasteboard cover. And set edgewise among the stems she found his card. Miss Weir turned up her small nose.
 "T wonder if he sends these as a sort of peace offering7" she snorted. "I wonder if few hours of reflection has made him realize just how exceed ingly caddish he acted7 Well, Mir. Bush, I'll return your unwelcome gift though they are beautiful flowers"
 And she did forthwith, squandering 40 cents on a messenger boy to deliver them to Mir. Bush at his office. She wished him to labor under no misap- prehension as to her G-titude.
 To he continued,
