LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.

An attractive skin wins admira-
ton. In social life and in business
the girl or woman whose face and
hands show evidence of constant
care enjoys a tremendous advan-
tage over those who do not realize
the value of healthy skin and a
spotless complexion.
At the cost of small jar of or
binary cold cream one can prepare
a full quarter pint of the most Won
derful lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tie containing three ounces Of or
chard 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 that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tifier.
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 fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands. It naturally should
help to soften, freshen, bleach and
bring out the roses and beauty of
any skin.-Adv.

Governor ASKS
FUNDS FOR Home
BOUND TROOPS
Wants $4,000 for Active
Fund for New York Com

From a staff correspondent.

Lincoln, March l0.-(Special. y

Nebraska legislature for an active
fund of $4,000 for the New York
committee looking after home
bound Nebraska soldiers. an addi-
tional $4,000 emergency fund to
meet any extraordinary circum-
stances. and an emergency approp-
ration of $4,000 to provide the COM
mittee with immediate funds.
This action follows a report from
Norris A. Huse, chairman of the
committee, announcing the opening
of Nebraska headquarters in the
Hall of States, No. q, West Twenty
fifth street, and giving an estimate
of future needs based upon a years
activities.
The Hall of States is financed by
the War Camp Community service,
and quarters, including desk room,
lights, telephone, heat and janitor
service are provided free to the
committee.
Mrs. Efie Leese Scott, formerly

tor to visit incoming ships and get

Would Compel Users
Of Phone Line to Stop
Talking in German

Lincoln, March 1O.-(Special.) y
Nineteen subscribers, including two
of German blood, on the S. & @.
telephone lines out of Arapahoe,
Neb., have petitioned the Nebraska
Railway commission 20 do some
thing about the persistent use of
German on the lines bv people who
can use English.
Jess H. Dunlap, chairman of the
protesting committee, which in
cludes "all but one Or two" of the
patrons, says 1t family on the
IS" line and another on the 90"
line boast that there is no law to
keep them from using German.
Isn't there some unwritten law
to help us?" pleads the chairman.
IF there isn't, there ought to be.

izer of the type of old Kaiser Bill

dian Of the funds drawn into the
state treasury by the sale of auto
mobile license plates, the lower
house OF the legislature, in COM
mittee of the whole, and in debating
house roll No. 200, the FIRST Of the
series of good roads bills, passed
adversel yon this.
The secretary of state, through
Representative Sturtevant OF Cherry
county proposed the amendment in
opposition to the provision of the
bill which decreed that the state
board of irrigation, highways and
drainage should be custodian of the
funds.
Mclaughlin of Hall county, father
of the bill, showed that by making
the irrigation and highway board
custodian of the fund a large sum
could be saved the highway fund
that is now detected to the general
fund. He said that field men in the
employ of the highway department
could be used for this work during
bad weather and the winter months
and it was the only logical place
the money should go and be ae-
counted for. He estimated that the
Office cost would be decreased to
$4,000 per annum where 1t now in
wolves an annual expenditure of
$lS79l.
Wants Probe Into Office.
When he mentioned that the sec
rotary of state paid out~in postage
for mailing license plates the sum of
$2l $40 per year, Fults, of Furnas,
exclaimed IF that is the case it is
time for use to order the exarnina-
ton of the Office of the secretary
of state"
This was the only hitch that oc-
CURED in the consideration of the
bill. All of the proposed amend
ments we're adopted as follows: No
transfer Of license plates will be
legal unless certified to; motor
cycles will pay a license of SIS per
year, all other vehicles $40 per year,
except cars weighing in excess of
1000 pounds when there shall be an
license of so cents per 100
pounds; motor vehicles used for
the carrying of passengers in excess
Of z per car, and trucks shall be
taxed at capacity weight.
Twenty-Five per cent of all regis
tration fees shall be paid into the
counties for road drag
ging fund. Duplicate numbers will
cost 81 each, and duplicates of num-
Ders lost shall be charged for at
the same rate.
An attempt was made by Rod
man of Kimball to have the age
limit of boys permitted to drive
motor vehicles reduced from 10
years to IL. He explained that in
the western part of the state a
shortage of help made it imperative
hat the younger boys be impressed
n the service and he suggested a
saving clause be put in the bill
making the county judge pass upon
The ability of boys to drive and to
ssue l2-year-o1ds permits if they
proved competent.
The majority of the members
thought the responsibility too great
Ind the amendment was lost by a
decisive vote.

Nebraska Not Ready to
Quit the Primary system

Lincoln, March l0.-According to
the temper of the house of represen-
tatives of the legislature it is not
yet time to depart from the primary
system of making nominations and
return to the old time convention
system.
In debate on the Hardin Byrum
bill it was admitted ia the pri-
mary system of nominating candi-
dates for public Office had its faults,
but despite this, the members of the
house love it still.
The amended bill up for final
passage, received only 81 votes with
so against it. In order to pass the
bill a vote of 81 members would
have to be registered for it.
There is still likelihood that the
primary law may be amended and
this may be done in the senate
where bill forbidding candidates
to do newspaper advertising, and
providing for state wide registration
Of voters will come up tomorrow.

HOUSE FAVORS
BILL TO ST OP
NEPOTISM CRAFT
Effort of Members From
Smaller Counties to Alter
Slightly Succeeds and
1t lis Recommended.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March l0.-Despite the
efforts of Representatives Osterman
and Jacobson, democratic leaders,
to defeat the bill in committee of
the whole of the house today,
House Roll 200, Fosters anti-nep-
otism bill, was ordered for engross-
ment and third reading by a de-
cisive vote.
Osterman and Jacombson both
contended that the bill was purely
Douglas county measure and that
there was no demand for it out in
the state, and that its passage
would work hardship in some Of
the smaller counties and would
work against efficiency.
Foster denied that the bill was a
Douglas county measure and de-
clared that it was a progressive
piece of legislation evolved by the
opportunities of the republican par
tv to make good where the demo-
Gratis had failed, and that it was the
work of the committee on privi-
leges and elections made up of men
from all over the state.
Carroll sought to kill the bill by
indefinite postponment, but his mo-
ton lost, % for and Al against
The bill as it came from the COM
mittee prohibited any state, county
or municipal officer from appointing
any relative to office where the sal
airy of such office was over 5000 per
annum. Osterman tried to amend
this by increasing the exemption to
$1,000, but this was defeated. The
compromise amendment of Wilman
of York that the exemption be made
on offices drawing less than $500 per
annum carried almost unanimously.
