What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon Juice TO remove complexion
bIemishes; TO bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating,
and should be mixed with orchard
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 daily
10 the face, neck, arms, and hands IL
should help TO bleach, clear, smoother
and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

IT'S six YEARS oLO
But Just as Good az When First
Made. ,

Over six years ago Turtle River
resident testified to complete relief
from kidney ills. She now says that
there has not been the slightest re-
turn of the trouble. Bemidji suffer-
ers will take deal of comfort
in this Turtle River woman's state
ment. It proves that Doan's Kidney
Pills can be depended upon.
Mrs. O. w. Erwin, Turtle River,
Mimi, says: ''Some three years ago
my kidneys began to do their work
poorly. 1 was so bad off that 1
thought l would die. My back was
very weak and l couldn't bend over
without being in agony. The kidney
secretions were scanty and contain
ed sediment. My breath came in
gasps and I often felt as though l
was smothering. My whole body
bloated and I often lay awake half
the night, gasping for breath. was
so discouraged that I thought death
would be a relief. Nothing helped
me and my life was one constant
round of suffering. I finally began
using Doan's Kidney Pills and I am
we'll and happy today. 1t is Doan's
Kidney Pills that made the cure"
OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Erwin said: 1.-THE cure Doan's Kid
ney Pills made has been q permanent
one, and I recommend them when
ever 1 have a favorable opportunity"

"Just started smoking True Smoke
several weeks ago and it seems to get

have been smoking it for years-they
say it always acts like that: tastes

True Smoke is the choicest Amer

the many tobacco-growing states can we
find tobacco good enough for True Smoke.

YOUR GARDEN
BY {. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

About the middle Of August sow
seeds Of mignonette, putting four or
five seeds in each pot. Cover with Il
thin cloth after watering well and
keep the cloth moist until the seed
lings appear.
Save two seedlings and keep them
growing until they are in siX-inch pots.
These should bloom all winter. Give
the stalks support.
During August and September plant
cyclamen seeds in shallow boxes or
pots. Give them q gentle heat and a
light, sandy soil. These seeds ger
inmate slowly and when the seedlings
are large enough to handle they should
be transplanted 10 pots and placed in
bright spot away from the sun.
BE sure TO SOW seeds of the follow
ing perennials early this month: Pan
sizes, columbines, English daisies, and
larkspur. The following biennials
may be planted before the middle Of
the month: Foxglove, sweet william.
hollyhocks, Canterbury bells, Iceland
poppy, primrose, and wallfiower.
All these biennials should be pro-
tected against the alternate thawing
and freezing of winter. They must
be transplanted to their permanent
homes In September. The wallflower
must have protection during the win
ter.
Cyclamen raised from seed is q slow
process, taking 16 months instead Of
six months the bulb takes. You will
have plenty Of blooming plants for
Christmas If you order the bulbs now.
Seeds of primrose can be started in
a good garden soil with plenty of fine
leaf mold set in a shallow pan that
has good drainage. Plant the seeds on
this surface and sift over them a dust
ing Of soil and cover the pan with a
piece of glass. Keep the plants wet
by setting the pan in q pan of water.
Do not let the sun shine directly on
the glass but put the pan in a good
light.
Dig your lily beds two feet deep.
have them well drained and made
light with some leaf mold. Place q
bulb or two of Madonna lilies in q
six-inch pot and place it in the bor-
der and in about six weeks time take
it up and place it in sunny window
and you will have lilies for Christ

Truthful
Charlotte
*
BY HI AKERS
Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)


Charlotte stood watching the
dancers surge past her. 1t was like
a kaleidoscope of gliStening color, and
somehow she felt she didn't belong In
the scheme of decoration. She knew
She was not what is called pretty.
Her cheekbOneS were too high. and
her mouth too large. No one had OBJ
truded the fact on her that her hair
and eyes were good to look at, and
her smile particularly fetching, for
Charlotte was not cOnceited, and her
mother and elder sister being of the
PuritaEic type, had taken pains that
she should not be.
The girl In all her nineteen years
had never been TO anything quite so
grand as this. The festivities of the
little SchOOlteacher had not extended
beyond the church SOcialS and small
dances among her few chumS. But
Aunt Maude, who had been living in
California for six years, suddenly ap-
peared in their midst, and began re-
newing her acquaintance with many
whom her sister, CharlOtte'S mother,
had dropped or been dropped by when
the change in her fortunes had oblig ed
her to earn her living by taking
bOarderS.
Aunt Maude was quite shocked to

Few NorweaIans Can Swim.

1t is a curious fact, says the Lam
Get, considering the geography Of the
country, that the proportion of Nor
wegians who can swim is small, the
number of deaths in Norway from
drowning being about COO year. Only
about Il per cent of all the school
children between the ages of twelve
and fifteen have learned to swim. Nor
wegian sailors say the extreme cold
ness of the waters that lave their
shores accounts for this.

find that Charlotte had no real So
ciety," as she called II. and she began
a reform in that direction by secur-
ing for her niece an invitation to the
Purcell party, the host being one of
the millionaire automobile manufac-
turers of the city.
Having introduced her niece to the
hostess, Aunt Maude had met some
old friends, and become so engrossed
in conversation that she had for the
time forgotten the girls existence.
Charlotte was just trying to decide
whether she would rudely break
through the circle to her chaperOn or
turn and fly when young man who,
she mentally decided, was about as
plain as she was, came up and asked
her to dance. They swung out among
the swaying throng. Presently another
couple collided with them, and her
partner stepped on her foot. He
apologized most prOfusely, but the re-
mainder of the dance was something
like agony TO the girl, though she
would not let him see how much she
was hurc.
When the music stopped she asked
him if he would take her to her aunt.
Let me find you another partner
who won't be so clumsy as to step on
you" he suggested.
mo, thank you, / don't care to
dance the next"
Now, l am afraid I've put that foot
out of commission" he said with so
licitude.
'Oh, no, but please take me to my
aunt"
Are you so very anxious to find
that aunt?" he persisted.
But do not wish to keep you from
dancing"
Suppose I want to be keptT
"Oh, well, that alters the case. Per-
haps / can make the punishment fit
the crime"
II don't believe you can-but you
might try" he laughed.
Charlotte decided he had merry,
wide-awake eyes, and strong, whole
some lines about the mouth when she
met his direct gaze. A rather bad
nose and dust-colored hair didn't
seem TO matter so much now. Besides
he seemed to want her company, and
perhaps he was just as lonely in that
crowd as she was. He led the way to
wonderful conservatory where the
tall palms met over their heads.
This" she exclaimed, sis one reason
why / would like TO be rich"
But there are other reasons?" he
queried.
''Oh, yes, plenty. like freedom. l
don't like being tied down to q tread
mill. l try to do my work the best /
can. but l can't say l love it. But
there-forget l said ii. I'm going TO
make myself like my work"
The young man smiled at the deter
mined ring in her voice.
That's the way to go to it," he said.
"Most of US have TO so through that
mill"
But there are some things would
not have if 1 were rich. some things
/ have seen here tonight"
Really? What now, for instance?"
There was q curious insistence in
his tone that had TO be answered.

stately, but It doesn't seem to be-
