DISCOVERY OK SOAP
MINE AT BR0WNSB0R0
Development work In tho cinnabar
district near Druwnsboro hus uncov
ered a "soap mlno." It Is a mlnorul
soap, and it resembles the old-fashioned,
dark-yellow soap-bar that cor
ner grocors years ago used to display
bo prominently on tholr counters, in
addition to that resemblance. It does
the work that tho old-tlmo soap used
t do with neatness nnd despatch and
with less dninago to tho articles
cleansed with It.
This mineral soap has boen tried
and found to pnrrorm tne service or
focllvely. Thoro is a large deposit of
It. Tho formation Is so unusual that
mineralogists have so far been afraid
to namo It; but It will bo annlyiod
nnd properly catalogued In duo time.
It apparently has a clay base. Its
other elements are known to bo min
eral, but, as a combination, they are
a mystery. At all events, they make
soap suds In combination with water
and tnko dirt out of or from anything
to which the suds may be applied In

WHAT IT
IT is often written that we are in war in behalf of dem
ocracy, which means government of, by and for the
people. Such government necessarily means justice,
equality and brotherly love the higher civilization. If
Christianity is the basis and inspiration of civilization,
how can we avoid the proposition that we have declared a
holy war?
And when we study our war, we find that it actually
requires tho strongest application of the attributes of
Christianity, do we not? If so, the result must be Chris
tian progress, a more general understanding of Christ's
teachings and closer living up to them.
Our winning in the war is not so much dependent upon
our power to slaughter as our ability and willingness to
help others. J he spirit that
bloodthirstiness or greed, but of helpfulness. These Chris
tian features of our cause and our policies make the war a
holy one, and, logically, should result in a degree of spir
itual regeneration.
J or many years our great
mammon, our women nave been worshipping the frivoli
ties, and our youth the false gods of ephemeral and ener
vating pleasures. The greatness of our men has been esti
mated on their bank rolls, rather than their service. Moth
erhood has been fading out as the sublime, holy mission
of woman. Aw we have let a hundred fads and habits
creep in to combat the leading of clean lives by our youth.
Consent to the proposition that money might "is right has
been spreading more and more widely, until we have
about added to our other aristocracies the most vicious,
most spiritually debasing of all plutocracy.
lhere s more in our war
democracy in JMiglawl or J'Tanec. There's our own dem
ocracy, which is insidiously attacked from within. We
cannot worship both God and Mammon. The autocracy
of Mammon, fatal antithesis to such Christian attributes as
equality, liberty and fraternity, threatens our form of
government, our public institutions and our very firesides,
and to combat it is holy.
AVe will have in our army and navy Jews and gentiles,
Catholics and Protestants, all denominations, most all the.
races, and the common destroyer of all denominations, all
races, is greed for money. Our war is not only to put down
political autocracy abroad, but, in the methods to which we
must resort, in the processes through which we must pros
ecute affairs, it cannot fail to draw our denominations and
our races closer together spiritually. The rich and the poor
cannot bleed, sacrifice and mourn in common without
closer brotherhood. The lines of blood-stained trenches
will be remembered when the lines of creed and race are
forgotten. In the hospitals shines clearest and strongest
the great, truth that all men aro brothers. In great com
mon peril, in great mutual suffering comes the unquestion
able conviction that Christ was for all men.
After nearly twenty centuries of Christian martyrdom,
prayer, preaching and endeavor, the world is engaged iii
the unholy occupation of slaughter. We are in the war
that the things which mean Christianity in its broadest
sense shall not perish from the earth, especially not from
our own midst. Without hate or greed, we fight for the
common brotherhood of the rich and poor among us, as
well as of the victims of autocracy abroad. And it is a
holy war.

it was compelled lo issue its political

an independent expression of opinion
and say the censorshiri now fur ox

It is said the rail secret of tho paper

OF BEEFEATERS AT
MER OF LONDON
LONDON, June 15 (by mail). The
Yeoman of the Ouurd, or Beefeaters,
as they are more familiarly known,
who stand gourd in their costumes
of black and red, over the tower of
London, aro still talking' about their
guests, the American sol'liers, who
came over with Major (icneral Per
shing. They were the first American
troops ever quartered in the famous
stronghold. During their five days'
stay in London the udvancc guard of
the American tinny slept at and
mad6 friends in the place which
Americans first think of as the spot
where spies hre shot.
Here, inside of the walls of the
place which lias played such an im
portant part in England's history,
were gathered khaki-clad men from
all parts of the United States, destin
ed to bo the first of Ihe American
army to participate in the European
war.
When these enlisted men redlining
tired nnd hungry after a hard day's
investigation of the beauties of
Westminster und St. Puul's, passed
over the bridge of the wide moat of
the tower, Heefenters and members of
the honorable artillery company
stood at attention and saluted. Even
Ihe sergeant-major, engrossed in
drilling raw recruits in the dry moat
underneath found time to call his
"rookies" to salute the Americans.
On one occasion when the Ameri
cans came, tramping in singing the
"Star-Spnnglcd Hnnncr," every Brit
ish soldier within heating stood nnd
saluted. Some, of the latter took up
the strains of "God Save the King,"
und tho Americans saluted in turn.

reau of labor statistics. During the

beans, 14 )er cent; bread, 13 per
cent, and rice, 11 per cent. The ouly
drop in price wus in onions, 30 per
cent, nnd butter, 0 per cent.
Some of the month's increases are

WASHINGTON, June 29. Nation
al Guard regiments will be sent for-
wnrd to their divisional mobilization
camns In the south Immediately after
they have been drafted into the fed
eral service. Heretofore it had been
expected that because of lack of tents
it might be necessary to keep many
regiments at their home armories or
state mobilization points for an in
definite period.
The exact date of the application of
the draft to the guard is still under
discussion. Present orders are that
the divisions of the eastern section of
tho country be drafted July 15; the
central section July 25 and the west
ern section August 5. It has been
pointed out, however, that Inequali
ties in' relntivo rank among national
guard officers would result from this
three increment plan and the war de
partment is debating the advisability
of postponing the application of the
draft until August 5 and covering the
entire guard at that tlmo In one op
eration. CUT OUT BOOZE

SUPPLY FAILING
COPENHAGEN, June 20. For the
first time during the war the weekly
report of the Imperiul bank of Ger
many shows a decrease in its gold
reserve, which this week is 70,000,000
marks below the preceding week. In
crements for a long time have been
steudily declining, despito energetic
propaganda appeals to surrender
jewelry. The bank, heretofore, how
ever, has been able, though often by
the scantiest of margins, to avoid the
humiliating acknowledgment that the
growth paused entirely.
This week's decrease is attributed
scmij-officilly to renvy purchases
abroad. The increase of tho gold re
serve has long since censed to keep
pace with the increase in noto circu
lation. The bank several months ago
was compelled to abandon the old le
gal basis of gold and silver covering
for paper circuution and supplement
metallic covering by reckoning com
mercial paper to make up the pre
scribed one-third cover.
With tho gold supply failing, de
spite utmost efforts, financial au
thorities of late devoted their chief
energies to a campaign to restrain an
increase in note circulation by pro
moting the use of checks nnd hank
transfers instead of cash.
LONDON, June 29. According to
a dispatch to the Times from Am
sterdam, German specie from the Im
perial Hank of Gcnnnny has been
received there. The German gold has
been consigned to several Dutch
banks. The correspondent says it
obviously is n small part of the Ger
man debt to Ilnllnnd, chiefly for food
stuff, nnd is the only practicable
method of preventing further serious
damage to the reputation of the Ger
man mark.
The morning newspnpers comment
on the significance of the decrease in
the returns of tho Imperial Ilnnk of
Germany, saying thev have been fills-,
ified throughout. They say that al
though returns are never admitted,
tho fact is that gold has been sent
out of the country from time to
time. The Times snys the real dif
ficulty for Gcnnnny is whether the
gold she sends abroad will ever come
back.

Lemons Beautify!
Make Quarter Pint
of Lotion Cheap
Here Is told bow to prepare an In
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, whiteness
and beauty.
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 beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon Juice thru 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 rcmovo such blem
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan,
and is the Ideal skin softener, smooth-.
ener and beautifier.
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 fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily Into the face, neck, arms and
hands, and see for yourself.
