GIVE SONS TO DOWN THE HUNS * Two husky young Georgians arrived at the navy recruiting office Thursday with fight and determination written on their faces and betrayed in their alertness and applied for enlistment in the navy, at the same time presenting to Lieutenant Atkinson the following letter from their father, F. D. Gillen of Bishop, Ga.: "To America, the Greatest Nation on Earth: . "I am shipping you today two boys, being one-third of my crop. I have others growing up and will ship them as fast as they mature. "I hope this consignment will be enough, but we must go 'over the top* and hang 'Old Glory' on the palace in Berlin, and if these two are not enough to help do this, I hope they will do their part in holding until the other boys can get there, and with the last instalment I will come myself." The two boys were accepted and are now on their way to follow their father's instructions.?Atlanta Constitution. OLD FALSE TEETH WANTED DON'T MATTER IF BROKEN We pay up to 15 dollars per set.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE, SOFT, 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 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 a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons 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 smal 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, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. MONARCH-OTTARAY LOCALS Mrs. W. B.

PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK. , { t Idea Supplement* U. 8. Food Admlnls- ( tration't Now Homo Card Now r In 10,000,000 Homes. j The women of America, who are^ anxious to do their great part In the ( winning of the war, are now, us a , whole, fumlliur with the most lmpor- ] tant uspects of food conservation. The , Home Card, both In Its original form , and In the revised edition for 1018,', which provides for two wheatless days, one meatless day a week, In addition to a wheatless meal every (lay, has been '' placed by the Food Administration aft- ' er a vigorous campulgn In 10,000,000,' American homes. An intelligent and < conscientious observance of the Home,! Card's requirements is all the Food|, Administration asks of the housewives,'^ of Die country. The Food Administration has had a great many requests, however, particularly from the homes of the well-to-do, ' that It should Issue a worked out plun i for a voluntary system of rationing. ] This desire for a voluntary ration , springs from two causes?first, be- , cause K Is far simpler for the house- ( wife to save food when she has a concrete working plan by which to pro-j! ceed, and, second, because the loyal j' women of America desire, unselfishly, | ( * iu |jui inemseives on the same basis | as the women of the Allied countries. r The ration proposed by the Food Ad- | ministration is almost the same as that adopted in England for voluntary 1 observance. All over the United Kingdom, In hundreds of houses there 1 hangs in the front window a card with the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION. AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA- , TIONS." The ration recommended by the ' Food Administration, and adopted first in New York city, whence the ideal has spread through the entire country, is the following: ] Weekly ^ Allowance Per Person. Meat?Beef (fresh, salted, tinned and hushed) ; mutton, lamb and veal (mutton by preference) 2% lbs. ( Butter lb. ] Cooking Fats (margarine, lard, lard substitutes, vegetable oils) Vi lb. ' Wheat Flour (for use in cooking gravies, etc.. where corn starch, cracker dust J or bread crumbs cannot be t substituted) % lb. Victory Bread (containing at I least 20 per cent, of a sub- . stitute for wheat flour).... 1% lbs. Sugar (including all sugar used on the table and In I cooking and all sweatmeats ana Canutes, but not that s used for canning and pre- j serving) % lb. The Items listed above are the only ones which are definitely limited. In the case of milk and cream, as much 5 may be used as necessary, und children, of course, must have their full \ allowance of whole milk. Fish and ( poultry, any cereal other than wheat, ( vegetables and fruits and cheese may he used as freely as Is desired. The above ration is In no wise In- ' tended to supplant the Home Card, hut rather to supplement it. It has I been published with the Idea that It r will be a very real aid to the American woman In her splendid effort to f carry out the great food conservation program. ^ Didn't Like It. A colonel of a well-known Highland regiment, on returning from the army, had built a snug little villa wnlch ho ' had named "The Retreat." Ills gardener, who was an old soldier from the same regiment, on being shown over the place for the flrst time by the colonel, was asked by the ;| latter what he thought of the place. "Fine! Rut I dlnna like that," said s the old soldier, pointing to the name on the entrance. ^ "Why?" replied the colonel. "What's t the matter with It?" v "Weel, sir," replied the veteran, s drawing himself up, "ye ken ye never c heard that played on oor bugles." s " s Thought for Day. ft There nre in the world few things g that ore worth having. g tl A Silly Question. u When the bicycle was at the height t< of Its popularity one of the comic pa- a pers had a squib in which a neighbor was represented as asking of, a fiveyear-old, "Can your baby sister walk yet, Johnny?" "Walk?" responded P Johnny, scornfully, "I should say not a She can't even ride a bicycle yet." a' ,?, Penalty of Failure. hi Failure to profit from our own mis- o] takes, failure to appreciate that we have made mistakes, failure to heed the warnings of people more etfrerlenced than we, always carries with It 111 a heavy penalty that must be paid.-? pi Exchange. c< 'WAS A BLESSIN6 TO ME," SHE SAYS declared She Gained Twenty-one Pounds by Taking Tanlac GLADLY GIVES DETAILS drs.
