TIME FOR ELKS
Local Lodge Informed Boston
Will Show Grand Lodge
Delegates Good Sport

Boston is going to have a big time
for the Elks. This announcement came
from the Boston committee to local
Elks and is being sent to all Elks
lodges throughout the United States.
Tho only change in the original pro-
gram is the elimination of excursions
to Boston. Harrisburg's herd met
last night and heard of the plans.
1t is expected that at least $4,000
will attend the grand lodge sessions.
and celebration, starting July and
ending July II. The program as now
arranged brings into play all the his
toric. romantic, natural, educational
and industrial elements that go TO
make Boston and vicinity the most at
tractive and most revered spot on
the Western Hemisphere.
One excursion will take the Elks
and their guests over the course of
Paul Revere's famous ride; another
will take them to the spot where the
Pilgrims established the first perma-
nent settlement in this country; the
battlefields of Concord and Lexington,
Bunkil Hill and Rochester Heights;
the Old North Church. Kings Chapel.
the Washington Elm. where George
Washington first took command of
the Continental army. and number
less other points of historic and ro-
mantle interest will be visited on still
other excursions.
Boston Harbor and its famous beach
resorts, at one of which there will be
a gigantic clambake. where hundreds
of expert cooks will prepare hundreds
of thousands of these appetizing BIZ
valves for the Elks; the huge textile
plants of Lowell and Lawrence the
picturesque educational centers of
Harvard and Wellesley Colleges-all
will be made the scenes of Elks ac-
tivities during the week of the con-
vention.

At the cost of a small Jar or ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into bot
tie containing three ounces of or
chard white. Care should be taken
to strain 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 re-
move 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 a quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck.
