800 SHOTS FIRED
 ON TEXAS BORDER
Unidentified Mexicans Shoot at Patrol Across Rio Grande- Engagement Follows and 3 MeXicans Wounded or Killed.

Mission, Tex, July 19.-Approx- imately 800 shots were exchanged across the Rio Grande today at Ojo de Aqua, eight miles south of Mission, between a small border patrol and several unidentified Mexicans. There were no American casualties, but two or three MeXicans were seen to fall during the engagement, which started at Il o'clock and ceased at o'clock when the Mexicans withdrew from the river.
 The Americans were commanded by Corporal Kent, the identity of whose regiment is not known here. Fighting started when several shots were fired at the patrol from the Mexican side. The outpost at Ojo de Aqua, hearing the Americans returning the shots, immediately sent endorsements, un- der Sergeant J. C. Henderson. The fighting continued six hours. Late to- day Co., B. F. Delamater reached the scene with 100 men from K and M companies of the Second Texas Infan- try from nearby outposts. A strong patrol has been thrown out along the Rio Grande.
 It is believed that about 100 Mexi- cans participated and it is said bugle calls were heard. This leads to the belief that the Americans were at- tackled by an organized force.

The juice Of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through 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 remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan, and Is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. It should nat
urally help to whiten. soften. freshen,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. It is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to useis just plain fnul-
sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it 1oosens and
takes out every particle.of dust, dirt and
dandruff.
