Should he take such a stand and de-
cline to rcsubmit the treaty, let
matters stand for the present as they
are, it was considered certain on all

be to put the ratification fight square
ly into the presidential contest. There
was nothing to establish definitely
that he would do so, however, anh the
course OF the administration senate
leaders during the day seemed to in
dicatc the opposite. They continued
to talk compromise and predicted
that the Republicans would modify
their attitude, making it possible to
clear away the whole controversy be-
fore the campaign opens.
They were confronted with the
fact, however, that the Republican
group Of mild rcservationists, on
whom hope Of a compromise was
placed, had served notice that any
further compromise negotiations must
be conducted with the Republican
leader himself. The closing stages Of
the fight, which preceded the ratifica-

MIR. WILSON Is BACK HOME
AGAIN.

Mr.. Wilson is home again, a
matter for felicitation and congrat-
ulations. Four ocean voyages, months
of incessant and racking labor, have
been passed through without acct
dent or mishap of any kind. Special
privileges to none, equal privileges
to all, has been Mr.. Wilson'S slogan.
his guiding principle. and right
faithfully has he lived up to it. He
made a great fight for an equitable
agreement upon which the nations of
the world could unite and have all
future wars extremely unlikely if
not impossible. Strange to say. in
the United States there seems to be
opposition. What has proven to be
acceptable to the rest of the world
must run the gauntlet here. And. so.
Mr.. Wilson's fight is not over. In
his own country he must wage
another war, of conquest. 1t is IA safe
prediction, however, that when the
people of this country hear from Mr..
Wilson'S own lips an explanation of
the treaty of peace and League of
Nations, this OPPOSITION which is now
generally regarded as purely polit-
zeal, will melt away. The President
has not made, and will not make, a
political question out of it. The
small politician has no place, nor
the big one either, as to that. in the
consideration Of such Il great sub
Ject as League of Nations or n
Treaty of Peace among all peoples.
NO one wants peace at any price,
but no one on this earth, wants any
more wars, and the League and
Treaty, as made in Versailles will.
if adopted and lived up to. prevent
all future wars as far as human Of
fort and worldly wisdom can devise.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemlshes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon Juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating and
should be mixed with orchard white

the juice of two fresh lemons into q,
bottle containing about three ounces
of orcahrd white, then shake well end
you have whole quarter pint of SKIN
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for snail par
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for MANY
months. When applied daily to The
face, neck. arms and hands it should
help to bleach, clear smoother and to
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
