Paris.—lf some of my conferees
stationed here were able to read
German, I know of a way for them
not only to pass the time quite
profitably, but also interestingly, as
far as their home papers are con
cerned. What I refer to is the ap
preciable accommodations at their
disposal at the Journalist Chamber,,
in the Quai d'Orsay offices, or ,in
other words, in the waiting-room for
newspapermen who are there to see
ono of the high officials or depart
ment chiefs in the interest of their
publications. There are numbers of
German papers at hand that come
either directly or via Holland, Swed
en or other Scandinavian countries,
and they contain matter which many
an American publisher would like to
possess. Vet here are these journals,
pregnant often with very important
A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare a quarter pint at about
the cost of a small jar of
common cold cream.
TVhen this home-made lemon lo
tion Is gently ipassaged into the face,
neck, hands and arms daily, the skin
naturally should become soft, clear,
and white, and the complexion dainty
and attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon Juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and
to bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemoo
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 you have a whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for a small 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
dally to the face, neck, arms and
hands It naturally snould help to
whiten, clear, smoothen and beautify.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
ladles can easily prepare and have
an inexpensive toilet aid which per
fectly satisfies their natural desire
for a beautiful soft skin.
Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach,
liver, and bowel poisons
before breakfast.
To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti
pation, bilious attacks, sick head
ache, colds, rheuiiatifem or gassy,
acid stomach, you must bathe on the
inside like you bathe outside. This
is vastly more important, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri
ties into the blood, while the bowel
pores do, says a well-known physi
cian.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well finished from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alijnentary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter.pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys
tem of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves
and muscles became saturated with
an accumulation of body poisons, be
gin this treatment and above all,
keep it up! As soap and hot water
act on the skin, cleansing,sweetening
and purifying,so limestone phosphate
and hot water before breakfast, act
on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels. —Adv.

FRIDAY EVENING.
news, so far as Ameftca is concern
ed, nothing but waste, whereas a
glance at tbem now and then by one
familiar with the language would
often furnish news that is nowadays
wanted pre-eminently in that coun
try.
Waiting to ascertain for a certain
ty the news of the arrest (since
accomplished) of Combe and L,ous
tilot, the latter also a deputy, and
which the press association have
wired briefly, and dropping into the
chamber set apart for the press, I
picked up a copy of the Berliner
Tageblatt (how it got there past the
censor and the two lines of trenches
and troops I shall never tell) and
found quite interesting news matter,
of which I merely mention the fol
lowing items, as they bear upon the
food situation in Germany:
A Gentleman Thief
The Tageblatt contained a truly
remarkable story of a youthful crim
inal who, a veritable Raffles or
handcuff king,, simply did what he
•desired in the high-toned West End
section of Berlin for a year or more.
So numerous, in fact, wore the
crimes now traced to him that at
first the capital police believed it
had to deal with a band of expert
criminals. This young pervert en
tered bolted houses, secured his
booty, and managed to get away
without leaving any trace of his
coming, or going, save in the missing
valuables. Entering a flat, he usual
ly would successfully pay his atten
tion to several of them in one block.
In cafes and restaurants, where he
was in the habit of playing the
wealthy landed proprietor, richly
garbed, he had a knack of hastily
possessing himself of his fellow
guests' pocketbooks, watches, jew
elry, etc., all unknown to his vic
tims until too late.
Baffles, Jr., lived like a complete
gentleman criminal. He had two
dwellings, beautifully furnished with
the fruit of his midnight labors, and
with a wife in each, entertained his
casual cafe acquaintances with great
display of wealth and liberality.
Twice Was He Caught
Not long ago the police at last
managed to lay him by the heels, but
by some clever trick he locked the
officials who were engaged in exam
ining him into their room and coolly
walked out of the building. Late
that very night, however, he was
caught again. Police headquarters,
or, as the Berlinese with has dubbed
it, the Molkenmarkt, has a list of
the crimes laid at his door that
makes a document of extraordinary
variety, while a preliminary exam
ination of his two residences has re
sulted in an estimate that the Baffles
Junior actually has stolen property
to the value of no less than a million
marks. In one of his houses there
were found about 20,000 marks In
bank notes, and war certificates to
the amount of 60,000 marks, not to
mention jewelry to the value of 200,-
000 marks.
Stolen pictures alone make a rare
and very costly collection, and evi
dently the man had a line taste In
rugs and carpets of oriental weave.
Not to omit the fact that he had a
tremendous store of food in both of
his homes, coal and wood aplenty;
in fact, everything that is needed to
make a well-established home very
comfortable in these days of worry,
suffering and distress.
But now comes the most surpris
ing part "of the story of a man and
his effective criminal work during
so long a period. Had the great
Berlin police no eyes, or were their
best detective officers all away at the
front? For Raffles Junior actually
had served several short sentences
for robbery, and all
the while had graced the famous
gallery of the Molkenmarkt depart
ment, which is located at Moabit, a
Berlin suburb, where there is situat
ed the reformatory for youthful
criminals.
England Discusses Horse
Meat; Better Cuts in
Paris Double in Price
Pari*.—England is beginning to
talk about eating horseflesh as an
unpleasant but possible eventuality
of the future. In France there has
never been the same prejudice
against horse meat, and the horse
has been a recognized and much-used
article of diet among the less
wealthy. Horse steak, finely minced,
is widely prescribed by French phy
sicians, to be eaten raw as a tonic
by weak persons and sickly children.
In Paris and its suburbs there are
about 1.000 butcher shops where only
horse meat is sold, and their average
trade is four or five horses a week.
They sell nothing but horse meat,
because the law forbids the sale ex
cept in special shops. But they do
not hide shamefacedly up back
streets. There are several within a
stone's throw of the Madeleine, and
a half-dozen within easy shopping
distance of the American embassy.
The Paris horse butcher is so lit
tle ashamed of his calling that he
paints his shop a brilliant red and
puts a gilded horse's head outside as
a sign. All his meat comes from a
special licrge slaughter house at
Vaurigard, where the butchering is
conducted under rigid municipal su
pervision.
It is a mistake, according to Paris
experts, to suppose that the younger
the horse the better the meat. The
reverse is said to be true—at least,
horses S years old and upward are
preferred, and below that age the
meat is said to be tough and un
favored.
The price of the best cuts of horse
meat in Paris Is at present from 18
cents to 50 cents a pound, having
doubled since the war.

1 Church Attendance
Membership in Methodist churches
had the largest increase in their
history during the last year, while
the number of church edifices de
creased. The <-hange is attributed by
the official statistician of the Meth
odist church to the use of automo
biles. * •
"Almost every family in the mid
dle west owns an automobile," he
says'in his annual report, "it is as
easy to go five or ten mles to church
as it used to be to drive half a
mile. A large number of persons
meet together, there is more enthu
siasm, better business, better preach
ing and larger social life. The ef
fect is to shut the door of the white
meetinghouse on the hill just as it
is to close the door of the red
schoolhouse at the crossroads."
MAITi EASTER PACKAGES
Packages for soldiers in France
are already being mailed by moth
ers and sweethearts of the boys "over
there." to reach these boys in time
for Easter. The local Office
has been swamped with these pack
ages and clerks will be worked over
time, It is predicted, to keep up with
the work. A new automobile has
been added to the fleet. This truck
will be used for parcel post pack
ages.

The Harrisburg Home of Hart, Schaffner & Mar x Clothing
the Alricks Association was address
ed by George K Keed, attorney, of
this city. His conclusion that "there
i'sn be "no peace which amounts -to
anything until Germany is absolute
ly crushed," was led up to with a
series of arguments that convinced.
"It is doubtful," he said, "If crossing
the Rhino and accomplishing this
would even have effect, for a Ger
man republic built of people who
have lived so long under German
TELEGRAPH
schemes and power might be little
better than the present autocracy."
Attorney Heed dwelt emphatically
on the unpreparedness of the Allies
at the beginning of the war. "Ev
eiybody but the Germans thought
that wars of conquest were things of
the past." he pointed out, "although
Germany's own writers took no pains
to conceal tho Kaiser's ambition ot
wcrld conquest."
