At the cost of small jar of ordi-
nary 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 bottle contain
ing three ounces of orchard white. Care

move such blemisheS as sallowness,
freckles and tan and is the ideal skin

Just try 1t! Get three ounces of or
chard 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, arms and hands. 1t

What Did He Meant

Until three O'Clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was perfectly contented warden, says
a New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that man with a frock coat and
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three o'clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour OF the
prison and returned to his office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: Thirty
years ago my father, who was OF me-
dunn height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as heat denunciator In
a metal mill In Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for a considerable time, he
told no one. However, 1t was common
rumor Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that man would delib-
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? / ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no

nation and proceed likewise. | leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock. but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend. At a late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading it

Causes Of Nervousness.

There Is an article on the care of
children In the Woman's Home Com
panion In which the writer says:
Nervousness sometimes is the re-
suit of some personal defect. Malnu-
triton, anemia, defective eyesight. bad
teeth or adenoids may be the predis-
posing cause. Nature offers the best
cure. Plenty of nourishing food and
wholesome outdoor life are essential,
and these children should be encour-
aged to play and to take regular ex-
ercise, such as walking, rowing and
swimming. Real country life is always
the best, and camping is cure in it
self, first for the outdoor life and
healthful exercise, and, second, be-

and for eighteen months had to live
almost entirely on cereals. My stom-
ach was full of gas and suffered with
awful headaches all the time. I was
nervous and couldn't sleep. I spent
nearly all of one whole year in bed
and fell off in weight to one hundred
and eighteen pounds.
"After using three bottles of Tanlac,
1 had increased in weight from one
hundred and eighteen pounds to one
hundred and fifty-two-making an ac-
tual gain of thirty-four pounds-all my
troubles were gone and l was feel
ing like a new man.
although it has been a year and
a half since Tanlac relieved me of my
awful catarrhal trouble and indiges-
ton, l still retain my increase in
weight and feel simply fine all the
time. I've been eating anything I
want-in fact anything anybody else
can-and sleeping like a child every
night. Being made into a strong,
healthy man after suffering as long
as did is enough to make me rejoice
and I'm glad to indorse Tanlac be-
cause l know what it will do"
