Now Is the time for every one who
wants work to think up something for
himself. Don't depend upon somebody
else. The integrity Of life consists In
self-reliance. Be your own proprietor

and do not discard the sympathy. But
regard rather that independence and
high purpose that make up the real
manhood. Men will have to work for
others while time lasts, but there is
nothing SO noble In the hearts as the
aspiration to be ones own man and
direct ones own destiny. Society Is
divided in classes these days, each one

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE,
SOFT. CLEAR
Maks this beauty los;oa for : fs~
esnts and see for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
Of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; 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 this way. Strain through q
fine cloth the juice of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing about
three ounces Of orchard white, then
shake well and you have a whole
quarter pint Of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for a small jar 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 months. When applied daily
to the face, neck. arms and hands it
should help to bleach. clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three oun-
ces Of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

Sweet Potatoes Have
High Value Per Acre

II is doubtful ii the average LOUIS
lana farmer realizes that sweet pc
tatoes ranked second III value per
acre among our staple crops in 1918.
With value OF 500 per acre this val
liable root crop almost doubled that
Of cotton at $500 and was nearly
four times that Of corn at $3.50.
With an acreage Of 65.000. averaging
rs bushels. Louisiana produced 4,So/,-
900 bushels which brought the farm
ers almost six and quarter million
dollars. While this establishes new
record for our state the indications
are that 1919 will surpass it on every
point.
The farmer looking about for .
ready money crop as substitute for
his reduced acreage in cotton is seiz-
ing upon the sweet potato; and when
he reflects that the average per acre
yield of cotton for 1918 in Louisiana,
was only l68 pounds as compared to

10 lengthy argument with himself to
see that he is going to be consider
ably ahead as a result of this substi-
tuition. Bean and Irish potato grow

Kindness to Animals and People.

So much of childish cruelty Is
thoughtless that the help to be OBJ
tanned from Bands Of Mercy Is ap-
parent. To make a boy understand the
misery that his airgun and his fish
hook may cause. to show the cowardly
cruelty in throwing stones and in hurt
ing innocent and defenseless creatures
this is what thr Band Of Mercy may
accomplish.
There is abundant testimony from
teachers who have introduced humane
teaching into their schools, to the effect
that the children are not only kinder
to the lower animals, but also more
thoughtful and considerate toward
each other.
We want our boys and girls to be
strong and brave, but in no way can
their strength and bravery be made
more certain than in protecting the
weak and helpless.

Few Fine Pearls Found.

New fine pearls are rarely found
nowadays because the demand has
been SO great and the fisheries have
been worked SO continuously that the
pearls are not given time to grow. II
a fine pearl is bought, It Is rarely one
that has not been in the market for
many years and passed from one deal
or to another. Dealers today depend
to q large extent upon purchases OF
pearls from collections Of rajahs and
princes in India and Of old families In
Europe. They declare that every time
a large and really fine pearl appears
In the market hundred wealthy per
sons bid for it. Consequently the best
pearls are beyond the reach Of any but
the wealthiest people.

CRATE FIRE TEACHES LESSON

press Observer Of Any Keen
ness of Mind,

The wood fire in the open crate. The
quiet hour Of q wintry evening. Who
does not revel in the combination? The
pictures in the flames. The musings
as the fire crackles, the only sound in
the stiffness.
Ancients in Persia, in other lands
and times, worsliped fire. 1t was the
symbol of purity, rurincation. Poets
have found the fire on the hearth IN

time.
But the wood fire in the open CRATE
is more than symbol Of purity, more
than a creature comfort more than a
sign of personal prosperity, more than
a setting for dream pictures. It's q
symbol Of action. It's a picture of
ambition. It's an Indictment to en-
deavor.
The flames are never Still while
there's material to reach. Reaching,
reaching, grasping, keeping, never CON
tent, never idle. Action! That's what
the wood fire in the open crate is say
ing.
The flames leap higher and higher
SO long as there is fuel to feed them.
When the fuel is consumed the flames
wither and die.
Ambition must be fed. That's the
lesson of the fire. You can't get the
fire of ambition to burn In the work
er's brain to energize his hand unless
it is fed, and fed again. Take away
incentive, make labor ineffective, and
the laborer's ambition dies. And what

and the necessity for hastily moving
from place to place during the semi

making of homes and the effort to
furnish them comfortably-one Of the

The old chests in which they kept
their belongings were at last allowed
to remain stationary and were used as
seats. The name of these chests In
England was "cabins." and the maker
Of them was called "cabinet maker"
As soon as might be, the cabinet maker
provided the old chests with backs ana
they became settees. while others were
raised on legs and became cabinets,
or. being provided with doors ana
drawers, became cupbOards or CHESTS

The workmen who made these
things were capable of designing and
executing an entire department with
its furniture. Great skill was required,
and notables and royalty prided them
selves on having some artlst-artisan to
do their bidding. In the establishment
of these men different degrees Of skill
