A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare quarter pint at about
the cost of a small Jar of
common cold cream.

When this homemade lemon To-
ton is gently massaged into the face,
neck, hands and arms daily, the skin
naturally should become soft, clear,
and white, and the complexion dainty
and attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and
to bring out the roses. the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemop
juice alone is acid, therefore irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with or
chard 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 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 to the face, neck, arms and
hands 1t naturally snou1d help to
whiten, clear, smoother and beautify.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
ladies can easily prepare and have
an inexpensive toilet aid which per-
fectly satisfies their natural desire
for a beautiful soft skin.

How Thin People May
Put On Flesh.
GREAT DISCOVERY BY EMINENT
SPECIALIST

Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
developing the arms, neck and bust,
and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of
health and beauty, there are evi-
IDENTIFY thousands of men and women
who keenly feel their excessive thin
ness, and it therefore is a real pleas
ure to publish herewith a simple
prescription which, by correcting
faulty metabolism and stimulating
the activity of certain sluggish vital
organs, quickly produces a mar
velous transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight fire.
quently being astonishing. This in
crease in weight also carries with it
general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack
of energy which nearly always ac-
company excessive thinness, all
quickly disappear, dull eyes become
bright, and pale checks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
The prescription, which is abso-
lutely harmless, directs you to take
before each meal a 5-grain tablet of
Bitro- Phosphate, such as you may
obtain from c. NJ. Forney, H. c.
Kennedy, G. A. Gorgas and all good
druggists at moderate cost. Eat
all you want, but chew your food
thoroughly.
CAUTION - Although the above
prescription is unsurpassed for re-
relieving nervousness, sleeplessness
and general weakness 1t should not,

who does not desire to put on flesh

GREEKS FILING
MOST APPEALS
Italians and Spaniards OBJ
jecting to Going to the
Mobilization Camps

According to what has been turn
ing up in the reports and appeals filed
at the State Draft Registration Head
quarters, Italians and Spaniards in
Pennsylvania have figured chiefly as
the aliens who did not respond to the
orders to report for military service
on advice of their consular officials.
Greeks have filed more appeals than
any other aliens. Very few men
from the British empire or the French
republic have filed claims and none
has refused to go to camp.
Numerous letters and appeals are
coming to the headquarters, including
about one hundred a day forwarded
from Washington in which it is re-
quested that cases be reopened. This
will not be done here. Appeals are
matters for district boards, or to the
President in certain cases, and the
right to request reopening OF cases
belongs to local boards. Such re-
quests may be made by local boards
when there are evidences of legal err
rors or where it has been found that
hardship would be imposed. The lat
ter can only be where such evidence
was not presented originally.
The movement OF the men to make
up the shortages on the first quota
will start Friday. October ~.
