strained into a 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
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice thru fine cloth so no

woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach ard remove such blem-
ishes as freckles. sallowness and tan

GOOD WATER AT SILL
Supply Increased by Digging New
Well.

Lawton, Ok, Sept THE water
situation at Fort Sill has been solved
and the Missouri and Kansas troops
are expected to arrive much earlier
than had originally been planned. One
of the biggest wells in this section has
been dug at the direction of the mill
tary authorities near where the re-
mount station is being built. 1t will
flow from 1 million to million gal
Ions of water daily. according to the
belief of army officers. The under
ground lake was entered at a depth
of thirty-two feet, after penetrating
fifteen feet of water bearing gravel
Two more wells are to be dug. These
wells are expected to take care of the
remount station and the old post,
thereby relieving the temporary strain
upon the pipes now leading to Camp
Doniphan from Lake Lawtonka. Pipe
two feet in diameter will arrive in a
few days for a second line to Fort
Sill. Lawton already has $4,000
available from the sale of city bonds
to put in this additional work.
