gi REARING A TEMPLE.

Citizens generally will rejoice with ^the Masonic orders of the city today on their dedication of their new temple ion North Eighth street. More imposing structures have been reared elseI wherei, larger cities have achieved I greater things in this respect, but for j^» cittsr the size of Terr© Haute with

Its limited ratio of population to draw |from. It Is doubtful if a finer, more substantial temple can be found anyV ivtoero in the country. .The Btone and stained glass express but one aspect of the spirit behind the ^project. The structure, as it greeted thousands of visitors today, denotes a purpose extending over years of time, indicates long periods of sacrifices and loyal support on the part of the members and lastly is a monument to the .^charitable principles by which members of the organization are bound to-

Y-gethef. The temple will long be one of the J. show places of the city. It is a won- $ derfully attractive type of architecture. '**The building committee and, in fact,

Ji every member of the Masonic order can feel a sense of gratification over the 1 consummation of the work. The comimur.Ity at large feels a deep obligation JI to the order for the handsome improve^jpignt It has given the city. i i

i AWAjKE AMERICA. I Rtx months ago had any one stated '"•that the German kaiser would ever ^."seek to strike this nation through as remote a source as the shipping .on 3 our great lakes that prophet would hav^ been ridiculed.

«'-.yo"ld go as to attempt to destroy marine interests on the lakes 1 was beyond belief. 1 But now knowing J*"issinnlsm for

S what it has proved itself to be, brutal, unprincipled, bound by no law but that of Prussian utility, one is easily con1 vinced that the war lords at Berlin havfe seen fit to stage part of their -nr on liberty upon the peaceful ^rs of America's inland lakes. jdSnvesiigations by the United States government reveal what appears to be & studied conspiracy by parties working in the German interest to wreak

hav6o tipfta American whipping on the great lakes. Recent losses, popularly supposed to have been mere accidents, aro now shown to be the workings ol this plot. The sinking of certain vessels and the crippling of others have been undertaken to check tha flow of food products destined, in large part, for the allies of the United States.

Discovery of the conspiracy and the publication of many of its details may serve to check its further operations. Americans are once more put on their guard against the machinations of an enemy which stoops to any crime that will serve its purpose. The peace of the great lakes has been maintained as sacred for more than a century. It will not now be permitted to be broken.

THE REAL TEST.

When the time comes—and it should not be very distant—the war and navy, departments ought to gather and publish statistics showing the number of persons who have applied for enlistments in all branches of the military service since the war began. "We read frequently of the number of enlistments in this plact or that, and occasionally of the number who applied at "one station or another. It frequently appears that the number of applicants greatly exceeded the number of accepted men. In this city on one day sixty-one men offered themselves for service in the navy «.nd only nine were accepted.

Notwithstanding these facts, we hear comment to the effect that the country is failing in patriotism because the number of enlistments is lower than is desired. It is the number of men who offer to serve which measures national patriotism and not the number who are combed out and chosen undera policy which undoubtedly epccludes many men who would be accepted ia any of the countries where the war has made considerable Inroads upon the supply of men. Patriotism, in other words, is not measured by the severity of a medical officer's standards, but by the people's willingness to serve.

THE WEEK'S SURPRISE.

The war news to the Tribune yesterday told of the capture by the Russians of the fortified city of Sianka, a surprising and important stroke. This intelligence leads to wonder at the work that has been performed in Russia by Kerensky, the new war minister, and has excited world-wide interest in this new figure in Russian history. He came into power with his nation scattered and broken. With the people at his back there remained the Herculean task of rehabilitating the disorganized army. And Kerensky, the civilian untutored in military science, did not merely formulate plans and leave the military leaders to carry them out. He went personally to the front and to the soldiers he delivered the message he had already delivered to the people of the cities. He went from camp to camp, and wherever he went he carried conviction.

And when the time came to strike did he retire to the safety of Petrogrnd? He did nothing of the kind. Like a new St. Just he seized a musket and himself led the Russians In their onslaughts. He was no military expert, but he was a man of courage and patriotism. He would not ask the sol-

ummei* xcursfon

diers to go where he himself was unwilling to go. And so Kerensky, the slight frail young man, who is perhaps a consumptive and knows his days are numbered, sent Russia back into the world struggle. As yet the world has taken no adequate measure of his greatness. Perhapa the perspective of history will be required for a clear conception of the magnitude of the services of this individual. For the present humankind can only marvel at him, and wonder what will be his next achievement.

Hrussnoff makes announcement that the chaptei of Kussian military achievement which he began to write a year ago is not yet ended.

And now, It seems, the president of China may Join the lengthening line of deposed rulers. There is nothing sure in these days but trouble.

Kerensky, leading the Russians, evidently wants it understood that l»e practices what he preaches.

THRIFT BEFORE BUSINESS.

Last spring the spirit of local enterprise hovered over the village long enough to allow an eloquent salesman to talk Mr. Merrill Into placing a small soda fountain in his store. The new "fixings" drew so much petty trade during the summer that the grocer was "nearly flabbergasted," as he described it. The problem of keeping a supply of ice cream always on hand without having some left over to melt was a constant torment, and the rashness with which his customers spent nickels and dimes on their stomachs affronted his sense of economy.

One warm evening a party of ten young summer guests from the hotel stormed the store end ordered college ices. Mr. Merrill set/ out a row of glasses rather hesitatingly. Peering over his spectacles, he demanded, "Who's goin" to pay the bill?" "I am!" answered three youths Simultaneously.

The frrocer waited until this rivalry had been settled. Then he said, "I hull dollar for ice cream! That's morn'n any young feller'd ought to pay. I'll tell ye. I hear some city stores give a five-cent dish with the fancy dressln' on. I might concoct a set cf them for ye—that'd be only fifty c^nts."

While astonishment kept the party silent, he proceeded to arrange tiny pats of frozen cream in several glasses. But a babel of protest broke out before he could add the syrup: "Don't you worry, Mr. Merrill!" "Haven't you got. enough Ice cream t" and so on. But Mr. Merrill refused to serve the full order until one of the girls suggested that all the boys present *Vhip in" to raise the dollar. "There, now," he said triumphantly, "that puts another face on the matter!"—The Youth's Companion.

Complexion Lotion! Use Fresh Lemons and Strain Juice

Any grocer will sell you two fresh lemons and your drug store will supply you with three ounces of orchard white. Put these in a bottle and shake well. Here you have a whole quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon lotion at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams.

Care should be taken to stratn the juice through 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 remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoother and beautifter.

Used by day, this sweetly fragrant lotion protects the skin from the evil effects of the weather and prevents roughness, redness, chafing and smarting. At night it works in the pores while you sleep, and is intended to bring a freshness and peach-like beauty that wins envy and admiration.

Just try it! Make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it dally into the face, neck, arrtis and hands. It naturally helps to whiten, soften, freshen and bring ost the roses and beauty of any skin. It works marvelously on rough, red hands. Try it and see for yourself.—Adv.

W. A. Hamilton left for Denver, Ool.. on a justness trip. The Wood Turret Machine company turned out its first finished machine.

Newton Cox set a new record for the local golf course, playing the nine holes In S7.

A special convention of the delegates of Dlst. No. 11 of the United Mine Workers of America opened its sessions at Germania hall.

TART WAITRESS.

Doctor Oliver Hobson was defending certain appropriations. "Don't qall these appropriations pork barrel appropriations," he exclaimed. "Though Pocatella numbers only 617 souls, she can appreciate a $90,000 postofflce as well as any bloated metropolis could. "Cut appropriations of this kind, gerrtlemen, and you wound your electors as cruelly as the drummer was wounded at th« Pocatella nouse. "This drummer, being very fond of corn on the cob, ate ear after ear. Finally the pretty waitress, after she'd brought him his fourteenth or fifteenth ear, said, tartly: "Don't you think you would save half dollar or so a day if you boarded at a llverv stable?"—Washington Ptar.

"The Poor Man's Potato"

has become the

rich man's luxury. Whether at three dollars a bushel, or twenty-five cents a bushel, potatoes are not a complete food. Two or three Shredded Wheat Biscuits with milk furnish more real, body-building nutriment than a meal of potatoes or meat, are much more easily digested and cost much less. Shredded Wheat is 100 per cent, whole wheat, nothing added and nothing taken away gives mental vim and physical vigor for the hot days. Delicious for breakfast, or any meal, with sliced bananas, berries or other fruits, and milk. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y* 4
