Victory Stamp May Join
Class Sought by Collection

The United States is the first of
the allied nations to issue special
postage stamp commemo orative OF
victory. 1t has just meen put on
sale in the various Post Offices, and
as it is not likely to remain in use
for any great length of time, it may
ultimately become one of the rare
issues for collectors. The stamp is
of the three-cent variety, lavender
in color, similar to the regular
three cent letter stamp and of the
same size, but the design is oblong
in shape. 1t depicts the Goddess
of Victory with the flags of the al
lied nations, France, Great Britain,
Belgium and Italy, in the back
ground, the United States flag be-
ing in the center. The Goddess OF
Victory holds a sword in her right
hand and the scales of Justice, up
lifted in her left hand.
1t has been ten years since the
Post Office Department has issued
a special memorial stamp. In 1903
there were three issues of that kind
the first being the Lincoln stamp
commemorating the centennial an
niversary of Abraham Lincoln's
| birth on February II, 1909. This
was soon followed by the Alaska
Yukon commemorative stamp and
later appeared the Hudson Fulton
stamp in honor of the celebration OF
Robert Fulton's successful steam
boat trip up the Hudson river in
1907. These were all two cent
stamps and were used for only a
short time.
The first memorial stamps issued
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-04-01

by the United States were the Co.
lumbus stamps, which came out in
1898, marking the four-hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of
America. There were sixteen varie-
ties, ranging in value from ! cent to
$5, each stamp depicting a different
scene in the life of Columbus. Deal.
ers date the stamp-collecting fever
which has grown enormously in
later years to the appearance of
these stamps. Thousands of school,
boys started collecting by buying
the lower values of the Columbus
stamps. and dealers, anticipating
high values in future, laid in large
stocks; in fact, such large stocks
that the market value of the stamps
even including the high dollar val
ues, have shown but little advance
to-day.
In 1898 the trans Mississippi me-
mortal issue came out. 1t embraced
nine stamps, from 1 cent to So. The
81 and So values of this issue are
much scarcer than the correspond
ing values of the Columbus stamps.
The centenary of the purchase of
the territory of Louisiana was COM
memorated in 1904 by five special
stamps, 2, 3 and 5 cents-and
for the jamestown Exposition in
1907, celebrating the three hun
dredth anniversary of the settlement
there. the first English settlement
in the United States, a special issue
of three stamps appeared. The l.
cent value had a portrait of Cap
tain John Smith, the 2-cent one Il
view of jamestown, and the scent
stamp portrait of Pocahontas.
Then came the three single issues
of 1909.

LEARN HOW TO
INVEST YOUR MONEY!

The first thing for investors to
decide is the amount of risk they can
afford to take with their funds.
This will depend on the purpose
which they had in mind when the
funds were accumulated and on
the Investment. If one is laying
up savings to take care of himself
in his old age, is he not really a
trustee of those savings for the old
person he is to be" If he is saving
for his family is it not the same?
But if the money is being accumu-
lated with the view of taking ad-
vantage of a business opportunity,
it is different. Or if one is in close
touch with conditions in a certain
business he might be justified in
taking risks in that field which
would be improper for one ignorant
of conditions to take. The degree
of risk that one is justified in taking
must be largely decided by the in
vestor himself, although others of
more experience or training might
help him. 1t is the first point that
should be decided.-The World s
Work for April.

Lemons Do Whiten!
Try This on Face,
Neck, Arms, Hands

The lemon juice massage indulged
in once or twice each day means a
little time and trouble, girls, but
what of the splendid results? A skin
bleaChed beautifully white, a COM
pleXion with the bloom of a peach,
a softening of those lines of care;
in fact, Il skin eloquent of natures
purity and hands white, soft and
full of charm.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin, and
to bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way: Strain
through fine cloth the juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle contain
ing about three ounces of orchard
white, then shake well and you have
q 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 massaged daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands, it
should naturally help to whiten,
clear, smoother and beautify the
skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very
little cost and the grocer has the
lemons.
