GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
is A SKIN WHITENER
How to make a creamy beauty lotion
for few cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained
into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
keautifer at about the cost one must
pay for small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon juice through a fine cloth 50
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, whitener and
beautiier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
Il quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands.

Dr.. r. e. Cothram is a well-known
pharmacist of Alexis, Ala. And when
he gets bilious or needs a purgatlve
medicine, what do you suppose, ne
does? Out of his whole big stock Of
liver medicine he selects and uses
Granger Liver Regulator. He says
"There is none BETTER" That's a
pretty strong endorsement, don't you
think, from man who knows all
about the merits Of the different medi-
cines on the market? Granger Liver
Regulator is purely vegetable, does
not gripe nor irritate the delicate lin

always gives quick and pleasant re-

vote by which the bill calling a Con-
stitutional Convention, or rather the
enabling act to call one was passed;
the names of those who voted "yea !"

A "yea" vote meant the possible de-
struction of the present Constitution,
with its safeguards of civil rights and
prevention of segregation in the schools
and the adoption of a new one which
would permit prescription.
If it is found that the Colored rep
resentatives voted for this possible
change, then the conclusion must fasten
itself firmly upon the conviction of
every honest person that these represen-
tatives were reereant and either unable
to intelligently represent the Negro
people, or vicious enough to sell their
rights for mess of pottage.
In our next letter we will, no doubt.

ure and the attitude of the persons now

A Complete Education.

By heritage. by breeding, by educa-
ton, by inclination, by profession, /
was literary. Seven generations of my
family had been college bred. Many
OF the literary men Of the first half Of
the nineteenth century had been enter
tanned by my family; and those who
remembered the happy experience had
always encouraged me to emulate, II
possible, the lives Of Agassiz, Holmes,
Longfellow and Hawthorne. In the
university was one Of the few un-
usual creatures who delighted to delve
(for the pure love Of it) into old poems
and ancient plays. Ny face was almost
as familiar feature OF the library as
was the marble bust Of Homer there.
The college authorities made me the
editor of two publications; my class
mates indicated by their choice that
they believed I could write q class
poem. True, had never visited Bos-
ton, but about the time of my gradu-
ation a third cousin Of mine from the
far South spent a few days IN the Hub,
30 felt that In some subtle wa my
education had been completed.-Atlan-

ALDERMANIc vINDIcAT1oN.

The aldermanic campaign in the Sec
ond Ward offers a splendid opportunity
for the Negro people of the ward to vim
dicate themselves by the reelection of
the Hon. Oscar DePriest to the City
Council. 1t will be remembered that
it was charged that the Negro people
had chosen a man who was vicious and
who had committed crime by violat-
ing the law, and therefore the Negro
people could not be trusted to choose
representatives, and as a result Alder
man DePriest was accused, indicted
and tried. A Jury found him innocent.
Congressman MeDermott of the old
Third District, now the Fourth, a mem
Der Of Congress, was accused, tried and
found guilty of committing a crime by
violating the law and was expelled from
Congress He came back to his Irish
constituents in the Stock Yards district,
presented his side of the story, was re-
nominated and reelected, because he
showed clearly that the fight in opposi-
tion to him was on account of his atti-
tude towards his own people and their
interests, as the reason for his expul-
sion from Congress rather than any mis-
conduct.
The cases of the congressman and
alderman are parallel. viii the Negro
people vindieate themselves, or will they
add ignOmy and shame upon themselves
by refusing to accept the verdict Of the
jury and the command Of the law that
no man is guilty after having been

1t Is a mystery where the fish came

they seemed always to travel In the

Protect Your Rights.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. Is, 1917.-(To
Editor of Legal News.)-I rented a fat
in May, 1916, receiving a written lease
for the same. The lease provided for a
payment Of $35 per month rent. The
lease expired in May, 1917. In April,
1917, the agent asked me if intended
renewing my lease for another year. I
told him I wanted to remain in the fat
for another year. The agent said all
right, he would make out a new lease
for me. Nothing more was said about
the lease and was not asked to sign
another one. When the agent came to
collect the October rent he told me that
because of the high price Of coal the
rent would be raised to $40 beginning
November /. When he came to collect
the November rent 1 offered him $35.
This he refused to take, saying that
he had given me 80 days notice Of the
raise in rent, and that I did not have q
lease on the fat and would have to pay
the increase or m0ye. The next day he
served g FIVE days notice on me, and I
again offered to pay him $35, but he
said the rent had been raised to $40.
Has the agent any right to raise my
rent or force me to novel What would
you advise doingi M I.
No. While you have a right to re-
main in possession Of the fat at the old
rental price You must protect your
rights or you may lose them I suggest
the retainment Of q lawyer to protect
your interest.

The Constitution of the State Of L.
hnois is subject TO be changed mate
rally by the Constitutional Convention
which the last legislature authorized the
people Of the State to vote upon at the
next election.
The main reason urged for a new
Constitution was the changed condi-
tiOns, which could only be met by con-
stitutional amendments, and eonstitu-
tiOnal amendments are allowed to be
submitted not more than two at a time
to the people, and that the process of
thus amending would be too long and
tedious; other than the tax levy,
woman's suffrage, franchises for cities
and legislation concerning public util-
tiles, the most important change would
be the civil rights and the school ques-
tion. The latter two affect the Negro
people in the State to a far greater ex-
tent than that of any other group. 1t
is conceded by all of those competent
TO judge that the present Illinois Con-
stitution is the most liberal and the
most fair and just of all the Constitu-
tions of all the States of the Union to-
wards the Negro people. Under it no
discrimination is allowed; no separate
schools can be maintained; no separate
cars, coaches or segregation of any kind
can be operated or fostered in this
State without violating the Constitu-
ton.
Jim Grow Cars and Separate Schools
Possible.
The next Constitutional Convention
will of course have it in its power to
change these things. 1t is apparent to
every one that no better Constitution
can or will be made than the present
one. There is grave doubt of a new
Constitution, when one is made, being
as good, as fair and as just toward the
Negro people as the present one. The
recent episode at East st. Louis, the
DR.. Giles case here in this city and other
evidences of racial antipathy and preju-
dice indicates that the men who will
sit as delegates in the convention Of
1919 will not be as friendly disposed
towards the Negro people as were the
abolitionists of 1866 and 1872. Should
one wake up and find separate schools

 It was learned today that P. C. Bee kett. general manager of the Old Do minion company. had refused to re ceive the grievance committee apnoint- ed bv the union.

 The electrical workers locals in both Globe and Miami have already voted to Onrose the threatened strike and it is authoritatively said that the carpenters. machinists. boiler makers and trainmep will refuse their aid to the miners. Despite this lack of sun nort fl is said that strike call in the Globe-Niami district will affect more men than any of the recent mining strikes.
