“When It Pours, It Reigns’’
ONLY 8.18 PER CENT OF MEN
CALLED FAIL TO APPEAR
Of the 3,082,949 persons called un
der the selective service act, 252,294,
or 8.18 per cent, failed to appear for
examination, according to a state
ment issued by the Provost Marshal
General. This number, however, in-J
eluded men who had previously en-j
listed or been commissioned and had
failed to notify their boads, some
who had died, and many who were
transferred to other boards but by
mistake had been carried on the books
of their local boards—estimated at
100,000.
Many of the remaining 150,000
were aliens, a number of whom left
the country to enlist in their own
armies.
The statement estimates the num
ber of real “slackers” at not more
than 50,000, or an average of less
than 10 for each local board.
LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, Son, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion
For a Few Cents and See
For Yourself
What girl or woman hasn’t heard
of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to whiten 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 or
chard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and then you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and com
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar of ordi
nary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice sso no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoothen and beauti
fy the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons,
advt.
Give us universal military training,
not as a war measure, but as a peace
measure and we will have better,
healthier manhood as the result.
