YOUR PATRI-

Buy a Liberty Bond and
Buy it Quick.
{By robson LIBERTY LOAN
CQMMITTEEl

COMMITTEE.)
The supreme opportunity OF Amer
ican citizenship has come. The meas
ure of the nations honor and OF the
nations heart is being taken.
The second Liberty loan gives more
of us our chance to get into the war.
Each dollar of it's vast total is blow
at the brutal tyranny now ruling Ger
many and threatening the whole
world. :,
More than million American sail
ors and soldiers who are now prepar-
ing for the decisive blow against these
with their very lives at stake, look
to us to furnish and supply them
with the sinews of war that they may
uphold the traditions of the Amerl-
can fighting spirit; that Amerca's
destiny may be made secure; that
Democracy may be made safe and
that Christianity may be upheld.
The more than thousand hushed
souls, including helpless women and
little children that perished on the
Lusitania, and the hundreds of other
American citizens who have been muir
dered on the high seas by the ruth
less and barbarous enemy, call us to
avenge the wrongs that have been
= committed against them and clvlllza-
ton.
Crushed and starving Belgium cries
out to us in agony. Devastated Po-
land, Servia and Amenia-the broken,
tortured little peoples of Europe
reach out to US in unspeakable suffer-
ing and need.
And France! That friend and COM
rade who gave blood and treasure on
our soil to help us to our birth and
freedom! That France, after one
hundred and forty years, is now strug
Cling to save her own life and free
dom. She sees us grown rich and
strong. She is looking toward us
earnestly, confidently. And if she
averts her gaze it is to behold the
tragic ruin of her northern provinces.
Our cities and our farms are not
filed. The hands of our little chill
dren are not cut off. Our loved ones
are not starving or driven insane with
agony AND IT MUST NEVER BE!
The brutal heel of the destroyer must
not touch American soil Our citi-
zens, our wives, our children must not
be murdered by assassians Of the sea
or Of the clouds.
But to protect ourselves against
such horrors and to answer the call
of our sailors and our soldiers; the
silent appeal of the American dead
and the appeal Of Belgium, Servia,
Poland, Armenia-the brave little peo-
pies of Europe-to put our shoulder
to the wheel that is to crush mill
tariAnn, we must act and not merely
think and feel. We must oversub-
scribe for the second Liberty bonds
and we must do it before the end of
October. We must do it sooner, and
if we are to live up to the reputation
our army and navy have already earn
ed in Europe, namely, that their hab-
it is to Do 1T NOW.
The only way those who remain at
home can back our brave soldiers in
the trenches is to provide for their
needs by buying Liberty bonds.

Juice of Lemons!
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost of small jar of ordin-
ary cold cream one can prepare full
quarter pint Of the most wonderful
lemon skin softener and complexion
beautifier, by squeezing the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through a fine cloth so no lem
on pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every wo-
man knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as sallowness, freckles and tan and
IS the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just Try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, blsech and bring ous
the roses and beauty Of any skin. It
is wonderful to smoother rough, red
hands. :
