Money Well Spent "The big businessmen ot America are the officers and members of tho Y. M. C. A. War Work Council. They are men who know what it really means to get their boys back from the trenches and the battlefront, clean-bodied, pure-minded, and red blooded. The money you contribute to the fund is spent by businessmen in a business way. Every cent of every dollar you give, goes to the Y. M. C. A. War Work Fund. "The government spends money for munitions, the Y. M. C. A. keeps the boys efficient, and the Red Cross nurses them back to health. The Knights of Columbus work with us in perfect harmony," the speaker continued. Work For Y. >l. C. A. "In all world history there never was a war in which more than 2,- 000.000 men were engaged. In this war, there are now 38,000,000 men facing each other. The newest wrin - kles of this science of killing, can't do more than kill one man in every hundred. At the beginning of the war, five men in each hundred were killed. The Y. M. C. A. must take care of the other men.

Here is told how to prepare an in expensive lemon lotion which can be used to bring back to any skin the sweet freshness of which it has been robbed by trying atmospheric condi tions. Windchafe, roughness, tan and redness are warded oft' and those telltake lines of care or of age are softened away. The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re markable lemon skin beautilier 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 a line 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 remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beau- j titier. 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 sweet- I ly fragrant lemon lotion and mas-1 ■wire it daily into the face, neck, arms enfl hands, and see for yourself.— Adv.

Tiie secretary takes hnn to ihe Y. At. C. A. nut and gives him some hot coffee or cocoa, and llien gives him a good warm teeu. in a little while, tnis homesicK, depress ed boy is made into a real soldier again. The hrst forty-eight hours of lne in a camp are the hardest in the life of the boy. He is unused to tne routine, and he is homesick. Tne l. At. C. A. readies out a helping hand to him and pulls him up. Y. M. C. A. Is N'cvessary "Physical instruction helps great ly. 'i ne other day an oruer was is sued, making boxing compulsory in the Army. An order went irom the war Work Council ortices tor ii&.OUU boxing gloves. "Down in Camp Dix the other day 1 met Colonel Anderson, tne com mandant. He told me mat he couldn t run tile camp witnout the aid ot the Y. M. C. a. Tue work is done 111 nuts, iso matter wnether me build ing is one ot those mugnincent es>- taolisliiiients in L.ondon and fans, or one oi the small houses in the camps and on tne tronts, it is called a. hut, tor it seems so much more like Home. "When your boy leaves home, you! look into liis eyes and say, '.Now, boy, write home otten. Tell us how you are and what you are doing.' Did you ever know that. in tile whole camp tnere is 110 place lor tho boy to write home'.' lie has 110 place unless he lies on the lloor and writes, or niayue goes out into the open, using; a tree tor his desk. The i. M. C. A. liut furnishes writing paper and envelopes tree ot charge. 111 one camp a million sheets ot writing pa per and envelopes were used in one uay. The Y. iu. C. A. hut is every tmng to the soldier. It is his club, theater, bank, readingroom, writing room, his library, his home. It is the nearest touch ot home he gets in the Army. .Met With Warm lland "W hen the boy leaves the camp for Ute .ship, he is sent out with a warm luinUcia.sj) I'roiu tlie V. >l. C. A. secretary, liis mat touch of home is a handshake given by a secretary at the toot of tltc gangplank, who says, •Uood-by, boy, ami go to it.' W hen he readies the top 01 the gangplank there is another secretary waiting with outstretched hand, lie say®, •Now, boy, if there Is anything ytm want, come to me. 1 luivc chocolate and cocoa and coffee, and writing pa per and envelopes and everything you will need. Come to me.' \\ hen the boy gets to France, a secretary meets him and says, 'Mighty glad to see you in France.' When the boy gets 011 the French soil, there are the harpies and the vultures and the i>inl> of prey waiting to pounce on him, but, thank God, there's the V. M. C. v. too. The secretary takes him to the Y. M. C. A. and gives him a warm, comfortable room anil plenty to eat. When he gets to tlie camp he is welcomed by another secretary, and from that time on till he goes 'over tle top' the boy is cared for by the Y. M. C. A. And when he docs go 'over Uie top' n sec retary stands by him, giving him hot drinks, and he has two cakes of chocolate in his |>ocket. given by tlie Y. M. C, A. If he gets lost 111 No Man's hand, or is wounded, 'there Is that chocolate—enough food to sus tain life for two days." Y\ >l. C. A. Hotel "One Paris hotel has already been purchased by the Y. M. C. A. Two more are being purchased, and ar rangements are being made to buy twenty-live more, so that the boys can stop in Y. M. C. A. hotels. Every boy who has Paris leave, must stop in one of these hotels. He is under military orders. If he is ordered to go to the Hotel Continental, and does not arrive there, the Hotel Conti nental reports to General Pershing. When the boy gets back, he must ex plain why he disobeyed orders. "At these hotels, there are a num ber of motors. They scour the streets at 11 o'clock at night, look ing for the boys who are lost in the btrange city, and take them back to their hotels. If you know of any thing better to give your money to than this Y. M. C. A. doing this great work for the boys, I don't know any thing about it." "There has been a very misleading report before the public. Many peo ple say that the Y. M. C. A secre taries are slackers. Never; One Y. M. •C. A. hut was shelled six times in Ave days. Ten secretaries were killed. Were these slackers? A Y. M. C. A secretary was In the habit of bringing a white rose home to his mother every evening. His arms are shot oft now. but he brings the rose. He goes to the shop, where the pro prietor takes the money from his belt and puts the rose between his teeth. His mother takes the rose ! from his lips when he gets home. Is that secretary a slacker? Money llent* Appltume | "France can't ask one thing of America that America can't give. It's ! easy to applaud that statement, but I it's harder to give the money. You men and women who are applauding —we want you to give, too. How It Works "The Y. M. C. A. doesn't say 'Be good and you'll be happy.' It says 'Be happy and you'll lie good." Down I in the prison camps the Y. M. C. A. takes care of six million prisoners. I When those German prisoners come I ir. they are unhappy and disagree able. Germans are human beings ,h:st like tho rest of 11s. Into that mass of prisoners went a secretary nnd said: 'ls there any one here who can lead an orchestra or a band?' Some one said: 'Yes, I can, but where ore your men and your instruments?" The Y. M. C. A. purchased instru ments and they had a band. A sec retary found a professor of German history and another of German phi losophy, so they opened a university in the prison camps. Now the Y. M. ('. A. is supporting twenty-one com plete universities in twenty-one pris on camps. That is what I call prac tical Christianity. "The only American recognised by the Imperial German government Is the executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A. In Berlin. He must take care of the prisoners In Germany. Ger many can do without American di plomacy. but she can't do without the American Y. M. C. A. Service to Other "WJiat do the boys think of the Y. JI. C. A.? Here's the answer from one boy: He gave his full month's pay, $121.16, to the fund. Another boy wrote to me, and said that he was supporting his mother and three sisters, but he cut out smoking and sent me twenty-five cents to pay for one week. He Is going to send the smoklng-money each week. When 1 saw that, I gave $25,000. "A man reaches Ills highest point when he forgets himself, and there is no better way to forget than to do service for others. Mm. Npeer Talkn When Mayor Bowman Introduced the next speaker, Mrs. Robert E. Speer, he said: "The Y. M. C. A. means 'You must consecrate all, 1 and I tho Y. W. C. A. means "You will con secrate all.' " Mrs. Robert K. Speer. of Engle wood, N. J., was Introduced to the workers. Mrs. Speer is a former Hai - lisburg women, and is widely known here. She was formerly Miss Emma Bailey, of this city. "We must thing in terms of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. together," she said. "I am glad that you have combined tho two campaigns here. Down in Jersey City the other eve ning I saw tile longest train of ex press cars I had ever seen. They were all cars loaded with munitions. Kvery preparation is being made for war, and we must watch the morale of the Army. It is up to the girls to keep the morale excellent. Are they guing to pull the soldier up or pull him down? It is up to them, and up to you to answer. The daughters of the best people in France work in the munitions factories. They must be housed and fed and the Y. W. C. A. must provide funds." Can Protect (ilrln Mrs. John R. Meigs was the next speaker. She said: "They say we are saving this world for democracy with manpower. Tell me, what are we going to do with the woman- Power? Kipling says that the only way to prevent anything is to stop it before it happens. If you want to protect your girls, do it by giving to the Y. M- C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
