U. S. Task Is to Mend
Broken World, Lauder
Says at V. Loan Meet
N, -
America's task is to mend the
broken world, Harry Lauder, Scotch
comedian, told an audience of 500
in the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday noon at a public affairs
luncheon boosting the Victory loan.
"You in the heart of this rich mid
dle west haven't the slightest, idea
of the abominable ruin and desola
tion the Hun has wrought. You
haven't seen it and no paper or pho
tograph can picture it.
The war is not won, he said, until
the damage is retrieved.
"If the next four years we work
as hard to rebuild as we have work
ed in the last four years of war, then
we will have really won the war."
The kaiser and his cohorts must
be brought to trial, said the Scotch
man, whose only son was killed in
the war.
Lauder urged special efforts be
put forth to look after the soldier
upon his return from service.
"Get him back to work. If he
don't, it's a simple thing for him to
drift into a bum and in the twinkle
of an eye you have a bolshevik."

GIRLS! YOU CAN
LIFT THEM OFF
Doesn't hurt a bit to lift your
6ore, touchy corns
right out
A noted Cincinnati authority dis
covered a new ether compound and
called it freezone and a quarter
ounce of it now can be had for a
few cents at any drug store.
You simply apply a few drops of
the magic freezone upon a tender
corn or painful callus and instantly
the soreness disappears, then short
ly you will find the corn or callus so
loose that you can lift it off with
the fingers.
You feel no pain, not a particle
of soreness, either when applying
freezone or afterwards, and it
doesn't even irritate the skin.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns
between the toes, also toughened
calluses just shrivel up and lift off
so easy. It is wonderful ! It works
like a charm. Try it!
Women should keep it on their
dressers and never let a corn ache
twice. Adv.

What Nuga-Tone
Did for Her.
A lady write as from Warland, Wyo., Mrs.
S. Hernandez "I am more than satisfied with
Nuga-Tone. It has given me a tine appetite.
My stomach works nice, and best of all, m
weight has increased from 100 to 115 pounds.
There's nothing "just as good" as Nuga-Tone
or weak, run-down men and women. The main
print of the .stomach, all organs of the body is
the nervous system. Nuga-Tone corrects stomach
trouble, makes the bowels move easy, improves
the appetite, invigorates the bloud circulation
increases weight, restore the gmeral health
because it strengthens the nerves, and when
there's plenty of strength in the nervous system,
all the machinery of the body works just as
regularly as a dock.
Nuga-Tone contains no opiates no habit
forming drugs. It strengthens and steadies the
nervous system by feeding the nerve-cells; it
makes rich, red blood, and puts the slow O'
beaitn in the cheeks and Dngnuiess in the eyes.

PRICE PROBE TO
BE STARTED BY
CITY NEXT WEEK
Hearings Will Begin Monday
Morning in City Hall;
Will Be Open to
the Public.
An ofticiEl probe into the prices ot
buihlit materials will be started on
next Monday morning at 9 o'clock,
by " City C ommissioners Towl and
Butler and Engineer Rodman M.
Brown, who constitute a special
'committee appointed by Mayor
Smith, vvii ) acted in accordance with
a resolution adopted by the city
council.
The committee held a prelimina.-"
meeting yesterday with City At
torney F. L. Weaver, Corporation
Counsel V. C. Lambert and Assist
ant City Attorney H, L. Mossman
The hearings will be held in the
board oi education room on the
sixth floor of the city hall and will
be open to the public. The plan is to
make the scope of the investigation
as broad as possible and to hold
meeting every morning until the
witnesses shall all have teen exam
ined. Will Report Findings.
An official stenographer wiil take
the full text of the hearings and the
special committee will report its
findings back to the city council.
Witnesses will be summoned by
the city clerk. A resolution will he
submitted by Oe committee to the
city council on Tuesday morning
The basis of the investigation will
be the prices charged to the city
government, but the actual investi
gation will take on a much broads
scope.
"Suppose some of the material
men should refuse to appear for ex
amination," asked Commissioner
Butler.
Sees Proper Competition.
"Failure to come in to testify
would be bad taste," replied Com
missioner Towl, who added: "If
we can induce proper competition,
we will have solved the situation.
We must be careful that we do not
condemn everything until we have
the facts. In some instances, . I be
lieve the prices of lumber will not
look good if investigated. I notice
that nails have gone down $1 i keg."
During the informal discussion in
the committee the suggestion was
made that brickyard zones should be
established and independent brick
manufacturers encouraged to locate
here. Building brick is now being
sold for $15.25 per thousand. Mr.
Towl ventured the opinion that
proper encouragement of this indus
try would result in brick at $11 per
thousand.
The city's investigation will in
clude all kinds of materials which
enter into construction of buildings,
particularly into the construction of
houses.
Your Shirt Looks Good
How Does It Feel!
Do you remember that last shirt you wanted
so badly ? It was exactly the pattern you most
desired but you knew you couldn't lake it,
because it wasn't your size.
Are you equally careful to see that the shirt
you do buy will fit really fit? It's mighty
important to know. ,
You've bought some shirts that were beau
tiful to look at the neckband was the right
size and all that but
When you got them on your back, although
they looked good, they didn't feel just right.
Perhaps you couldn't put your finger on the
trouble but it was there, just the same.
Beau Brum m el Shirts
Look Good and Fit Comfortably
Now buy a Beau Brummel Shirt just one
if you wish. Put it on. Notice the neckband
feels comfortable, because it is cut at just the
proper angle. The elbows are wide and roomy,
and the shoulders are just right. The bosom fits
trimly, and you feel right and look right, too.
That's because Beau Brummel Shirts have
special features built into them that mean com
fort as well as style. If you'll come here, we'll
tell you a different shirt story than you ever
heard before, and show you why Beau Brum
mels excel.

I A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prtpara a quarter pint at about
tht coet of a small Jar of
common cold cream.
When this home-made lemon lo
tion is gently massaged into the
face, neck, hands and arms daily,
the skin naturally should become
soft, clear and white, and the com
plexion 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 lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irri
tating, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle con
taining about three ounces of or
chard 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
daily to the face, neck, arms and
hands it naturally should help to
whiten, clear, smoothen and beau
tify. Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very
litle cost and the grocer has the
lemons. In this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion ladies can easily pre
pare and have an inexpensive toilet
aid which perfectly satisfies their
natural desire for a beautiful soft
skin. Adv.
