LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make This Beauty Lotion Cheaply
For Your Face, Neck, Arms
and Hands

At the cost of small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
iul lemon skin softener and complex
on beautifer, by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard
white. Care should be taken to strain
the juice through a fine cloth so o
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 b1em-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan
and is the ideal skin softcner, whtcn-
er and beautifier.
Just try it! Get the three ounces
of orchard white at any drug store
and two lemons from the grocer and
make up quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and massage
it daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t is marvellous to smoother
rough, red hands. adv

Speakership Race
Arousing Interest

Atlanta, Ga, May 31.-With the
opening OF the legislature less than a

race is by far the most interesting

county, a leader in the house for sew
eral years and one OF the steering
committee that put through the prohi-
bition bills in the famous fight of 1915
claims he will lead the ticket on the
first ballot, and his supporters among
the hold-over members of the house
express confidence in his election.
w. H. Burwell, Of Hancock, who
served as speaker in the last two
houses, is admittedly Mr.. Culpepper's
strongest contender, although the
general belief is that a majority OF
the house oppose the reelection of
Mr.. Burwell, and are divided between
Mr. Culpepper and John n Holder.

Supporters of Nj. Culpepper are
making their plans on the belief that
he will lead the ticket on the first bal

will go over to Cu1pepper as the bal

An Adirondack guide one day fell
asleep in the woods, and a bug crawl
ed into his ear. A naturalist, who was
with the hunting party, was able to
discern the insect with his microscope.
After careful examination he walked
away without making any attempt to
relieve the guides distress.

to follow the Evergreen" trail If
those same conditions exist, and, by
the way, was there not typographi-
cal error when you omitted the "N''
before the first word of that pretty
name? --,- -.
Can you advise me where the head
quarters of the Yellowstone Trail is,
or is it now the National Parks Asso-
citation? / have not seen this trail
mentioned in the Chicago papers and
because of my interest in our own Sec
ton of the road and because We found
such a well marked and historically
interesting transcontinental highway,
it seemed wrong that prospective tour
lists are never told Of this road to the
Northwest. So I dropped in for a
chat with "High Speed" the man who
writes the automobile news for the
Chicago Tribune, and he assured me
he would be only too glad to know OF,
and to recommend a marked trail to
the Northwest. After some search he
found the Yellowstone Trail litera-
ture and was surprised when told
him how we'll marked and how well
ept up most of the trail is, and how
interested the natives" of the various
western states are in their road. Then
he remembered that he had been un-
able to get replies to his letters of in
quiry from the secretary of the as
ISOLATION and he had assumed that the
project had fallen thru. As had
the same experience with the people
in Aberdeen I can only conclude that
the failure of being known here is due
to lack of advertising and business
methods of the association itself.
Many people seem surprised to hear
of the Decentralization" which exists
all along this route, and to learn that
"Flivvers" and "Supe7" are as COM
mon there as the H. C. of L. is here.
However, ignorance of our North
western California is not limited to
knowledge of road conditions, as ]
found to my surprise as stood before
wonderful display of Washington
fruit. A we'll modulated voice, coming
from depth of rich fur exclaimed
almost in my ear, ooh, see the lovely
apples from Washington territory
In crude Western voice, and sans
sable, and also sans introduction, /
turned and said, Madam, may in
form you that Washington has been a
state since 1897" / do hope that
date was right!
Kindly continue to send your paper
to our Chicago address or how shall /
know who won the card honors at the
last bridge club meeting, or what wild
sparks may be flying heavenward
from the Live Wires, not to mention
the doings of the politicians?
Very sincerely yours,

Letters from the People
To the Editor:

~MR'eln'61nlnsuaouSulsll
To the Editor:
Several members of Kennewick
Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution have been asked lately
what this organization is, what it
stands for and what good it does.
Thinking this information may be de-
sired by others ! take this opportunity
to briefly answer these questions.
The National society of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution is a
society Of the descendants of men or
women who rendered material aid to
the cause of American Independence.
The objects of this society are:
l To perpetuate the memory of the
spirit of the men and women who
achieved American Independence, by
the acquisition and protection of his
torical spots, and the erection of mon
uments; by the encouragement of his
torical research in relation to the Rev
olution and the publication of its re-
suits; by the preservation of docu-
ments and relics, and of the records of
individual services of Revolutionary
soldiers and patriots, and by the pro-
motion of celebrations of all patriotic
anniversaries. .s ....r..-.g.
2 To carry out the injunction of
Washington in his farewell address to
the American people, ''to promote, as
an object of primary Importance, in
situations for the general diffusion of
knowledge" thus developing an en-
ightened public opinion, and afford to
young and old such advantages as
shall develop in them the largest ca
pacity for performing the duties Of
American citizens.
3 To cherish, maintain and extend
the institutions of American freedom,
to foster true patriotism and love of
country, and to aid in securing for
mankind all the blessings of liberty.
l will not attempt to set forth the
splendid work accomplished, and being
done by the National society composed
of $4,000 women, but will name a
few things the Kennewick Chapter
has done since its organization five
years ago, with its small membership.
The gift of the flag and staff to the
public library. The raising of re-
lief fund for the Belgians. Awarding
of prizes to the pupils Of the eighth
grade of the public school for the best
essays on Patriots Of the American
Revolution" Gave stereopticon views
with lecture of "The History of the
American Flag" to the pupils of the
public schools in the auditorium Of the
high school. Also stereopticon views
with lecture, Of Historical Spots
Marked by the National Society,"" We
have contributed to the placing Of
markers along the "Old Oregon Trail''
in the State of Washington, and to the
support Of educational institutions re-
commended by the National Society.

own business. Freeze his brain : J"

past the interloper.

argue. she whisked past him and into
the sickroom. 1t was evident from her
expression Hlat she considered the
master Of the house harmless bat
offensive old busybody.
For some time longer Blaze hung
about the sickroom; then, his presence
being completely ignored, he riakcd
further antagonism by telephoning for
Jonesville's leading doctor. Not find
ing the physician at home, he Sneaked
out to the barn and. taking palomas
car, drove away in search of him. II
was fully two hours later when he re-
turned to discover that Dave WAS sleep
ilfs quietly.
Dave slept for twenty hours. and
even when he awokc it was not to Il

At first he was relieved TO find that
the splitting pain in his head was gone,
but imagined himself to be still in the

ma and Mrs. Strange, aud tried to talk
TO them, but the connection between
brain and tongue was imperfect, and
he made Il bad business Of coliverS;,-
ton. II seemed queer that he should
be in bed at the ,Ioncscs'. When he had
recovered from his surprise he turned
his head and saw Mrs. Strange SUM
bering IN Il chair beside his bed; from
her uncomfortable position and evil
dent fatigue he judged that She must
have kept Il long and faithful vigil
over him.
a little later Paloma, pale and heavy
eyed, stole into the room, and Dawes

"Yes. How did get hcre?" Dave
