Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons strained
into bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifier at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary coId
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon juice through fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every WON
an knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such hlemishes as
freckles, salowness and tan and is the
ideal skin softener, smoothener and
beautifer.
Just try it, Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands 1t should naturally
help to whiten soften, freshen, and bring
out the hidden roses and beauty of any
skin. 1t is wonderful for rough, red
hands.

grocer will supply the lemons.-Adv.

would probably be spent rapidly and for
gotten. He did not oppose the bill and
finally voted for it.
Senator Ballou said there was no jim
gle of money in the voice of the men
from overseas, that the men gave them
selves freely and did not want state pay,
to which Senator Steel responded by
saying that if that voice were heard, aft
er the bill was passed, it would be to
say; "Wel done, good and faithful ser

Senator Kingsley said the party was
pledged to state pay, and, although he
had pledged himself to no man on any
question, he made a pledge to God and
his conscience to vote for such a bill.
"Such a measure will rebound to the
glory of Vermont" he said. IF the voice
Of the men sleeping over there could be
heard, it would be in the words of the
poem: If you break faith with us who
died, we shall not sleep-on Flanders
fields"
Senator Daniels told of men who were
rejected as volunteers and afterwards
were drafted under modified regulations,
He spoke of one in particular, with some
emotion.

he sleeps side by side on Flanders field

The final vote on the third reading of

The apple grading bill came to a sud

that packing barrel of apples 90 per

after being nterrogated by Senator Hall,
admitted that he could not say how
many 90 per cent perfect barrels could
be packed in a day.
After the demise of the bill had been

The Kurn Hattin Drive a Success or Fail

ure.
The Kurn Hattin homes at Westmin-
stcr are conducting drive for $4,000
by mail
Only about a month has passed since
the first appeals were mailed. And the
last appeals have not yet gone out. The
returns thus far are most encouraging,
Already cash and unconditional pledges
TO the amount of 81 500 are in hand.
Nearly $1,000 of this is in cash and the
pledges are all practically as good as
cash But one who writes, Il believe
you will raise the $25O00," has agreed to
give S., 600 when the homes have secured
$4,000, So the first end and the last
end of the drive are secured To get the
kurn Hattin drive sandwich in good
shape, all that is needed is the filling.
Apparently everyone wants the drive
to be q success. Whether OF not it will
be a success depends on two very simple
things. There must be quite a number of
gifts of five hundred dollars, or thous-
and dollars, or more, each. There must
also be very large number of smaller
gifts. The largest gift thus far is $500,
the smallest, % cents. Large gifts from
all those able to make large gifts are
needed. But so, too, are small gifts
needed from all those who are able to
give only small gifts,

Controversy

Yuma, Ariz., March 2l.--Secretary OF
War Newton d. Baker, who is on an in

to charges made yesterday in Washing
ton by Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon,
chairman of the Senate military affairs
committee, that the secretary was under
the influence of reactionaries opposed to
changes in the army court martial sys-
TEN, said that the senator himself caused
to be enacted the system he is attack
ing.
Secretary Baker and his party passed
through here late last night and are ex-
pected to reach Ell Paso to-day.
Secretary Bakers statement follows:
II cannot permit mlself to be drawn
into. newspaper controversy with Sen
ator Chamberlain about officers of the
army to whom | hold an official relation
and whose conduct | must Judge dispas-
sionately and upon all the evidence l
can obtain.
"That duty is mine and not Senator
Chamberlain's and l shall perform it I'M
biased and unhurried by abuse or agi-
tation.
at is important, however, to note that
the system Of court martial and of mill
tary justice which the senator attacks
is one which he himself caused TO be en-
acted in 1916, when it was presented by
me as a reform and a moderation of the
previously existing irregularities.
1T is also important to note that the
amendment which I sent to Senator
Chamberlain as chairman of the military
affairs committee of the Senate more
than year ago. and more than year
before the occasion for the present dis
cussion, has, so far as + know, never even
been presented by him to the military
affairs committee for consideration"

AMERICAN RED CROSS
PRAISED IN RUSSIA
Hospitals Established to Care for the
Russian People and the Latter Ex-
press Great Appreciation of
the Efforts.

An Associated Press correspondent,
who was sent from Toxic across Siberia
to Omsk, in southeastern Russia, to re-
port the situation of the all Russian gov
eminent there, has forwarded by mail
several interesting articles showing what
the American Red Cross is doing for
Russians in that remote city and giving
some important sidelights on the prob
lens faced by the anti-bolshevik forces
having headquarters at Omsk. One of
the first of the articles forwarded from
Omsk by the correspondent follows:
Omsk, Feb. l Correspondence of the
Associated Press Praise for the work
of the American Red Cross is domi-
nant note of public expression here The
organization has opened a well-appoint-
cd hospital four versts outside the city
of Omsk, with 400 beds and $50 patients,
chiefly Russians, with a few French. The
hospital is capable of holding 1000 beds,
if necessary.
The Omsk hospital is merely one of a
series of phianthropic medical institu-
tions which have been organized in ST.
IBERIA, mainly through the efforts of DIR.
r. B. Teusler of Toxic, the chairman of
the Red Cross commission to Siberia. He
has been travelling about TO points in the
interior obtaining bases and buildings
for the hospitals. Russians thus have
been made to realize that the Ameri-
can Red Cross is here to be of genuine
and effective assistance.
Red Cross work in interior Siberia has
provided a hospital at Tumen, with a
capacity of 500 patients and dental elm
les at Cheiabnsk and Ekaterinburg. An

Elaborate Day Clothes.

There Is no doubt about it-that our
day clothes are getting more and
more elaborate all the time. and while
once not long ago we could go to al

could face the music any time until

We looked upon the wearing of
Jew elry at any time but in the even
ing as not in the very best Of taste,
did we not? But II you have been
going about much this summer you
know that people of irreproachable
lasts do wear no end of jewelry when
they get together for afternoon
parties. for luncheons or garden
parties. And always there is a hand
bag, and here is an opportunity for
much ornateness. and then there are
parasols with jeweled handles and
sometimes bizarre little fans. too.
Wraps worn in the afternoon would
have looked once like evening wraps.
The fact that the twelve thousand
presentations that are going to take
place at the court OF ST. James De1Ore
King George and Queen Mary this
year-the enormous number being
due. of course, to the fact that there
have been no presentations for four
,sais-are to take place in the day
time, and that morning attire, SO
called, Is to be worn rather than
evening dress. has added new interest
to day clothes in England, and this
interest has been reflected to Paris

here.
OF course. one reason for this de-
c.sion in favor OF the daytime pres
eatations was one Of economy; how
ever. there will be nothing very eco
