AirpIanss Doing Good Work.

Cavalry operations in conjunc-
ton with bombing airplanes is
one of the wars innovations. In
one case an aviator signaled that
he had spotted train bringing
up German reinforcements. He
made for it and dropped bomb
200 yards ahead of the locomo
tive, demolishing the track.
Then he performed the same feat
just behind the train, isolating
it. The cavalry dashed up be-
fore the Germans could get away
and captured every last man Of
them.
An officer telling of the incident
remarked that it resembled an
American film play with the road
agents lining up their victims
against the cars with hands high
in the air.

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY. LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost Of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream n can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautiier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing three
unces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows hat lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifler.
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 sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is truly marvel

Heavy EDITORIAL.

Alexander II. Stephens, vice presi-
dent of the Southern C~onfederacy,
who after the Civil war was repeated
ly elected to congress from Georgia,
was an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation a news
paper item saying that he weighed 90
pounds. In reply to this he wrote a
letter to the editor of the offending
journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. Il will not be %slandered in
his manner" he protested, my
weight is "a pounds" The former vice
president was himself an editor, with
a habit Of writing very long articles for
his paper in Georgia. and the contem-
porary which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight refused
to retract 1t for the reason, he said,
that MI. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials in his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference of four
pounds between the two figures"
