The italian citizens Of this city are

Use Lemon Juice
To Beauty Skin

The beauty lotion which is becoming
so popular throughout the country is
easily prepared by anyone, anu a

any more than a small jar Of the COM

Add the Juice Of two fresh lemons to
three ounces Of orchard white and
shake we'll in bottle. Strain the lem
on Juice two or three times through a
fine cloth so no pulp gets into the To-
ton, then 1t will keep fresh for
months. Regardless Of what price you
pay or how highly advertised. there is
nothing else really more meritorious in
identifying, softening and clearing the
skin. AS a tan and blemish remover

Lemons have always been used to

Any drug store will supply the three

TRENCH DIGGING
ON WATER STREET

A trip to the upper end of Water
street these days gives one a faint
conception of trench life across the
Water. To be sure there are no Hin
denburg lines but the excavations now
going on about the old Cormier build
ing remind one of the pictures in the
illustrated weeklies showing what real
trenches are like. And, by the way
that there is some difference between
the genuine article and the kind of
trenches the soldier boys did for prac-
tice stunts is CLEANED from the news
dispatches that occasionally filter
through the censor's hands. A let
ter from an American boy stationed
in France said that the trenches of
the Allies were veritable catacombs,
being built in the most substantial
manner and apparently without any
thought that they would have to be
abandoned. And so it is with the
trenches on upper Water street

ton of the Hassam paving crew in

cement wall will be run into the usu-
al forms and the whole street and
sidewalk in that locality will be of
better character than over before.
Across the street and up Bond street
excavating is going on in several di-
rections. this also being in the nature
of prevention of future troubles.

Former cheaper cars now cost
about as much as Hudson
Super-Six. That is because OF
the headlong increase in mate
rial costs. Some materials are
almost double the costs of last
year. The Hudson Super-Sixes
now built are from materials
contracted last year. Since then
other companies, having ex-
hausted their supplies, have
had to buy in the present mar
ket. That accounts for their
price increases. When Hudson
materials are exhausted, then
the Hudson price, too, must go
up.
The Super-Six was the choice
against other cars when it's
price was $500 to $500 above
them. That was shown by it's
sales. Almost 100000 cars were
sold, which is more than the
