GIRLSl MAKE LEMON
LOTION TO WHlTEN
AND BEAUTIFY SKIN

In all weathers the skin and COM
plexion can be kept wonderfully clear,
soft and white by the use OF this in
expensive lemon lotion which any
girl or woman can easily prepare.
The juice Of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
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 q 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 re-
move such blemishes as freckles. sal
lowness and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautfier.
Just try Il! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion. II naturally should
help to soften, freshen, bleach and
bring out the roses and hidden beauty
of any skin. Those who will make IL
habit to gently massage this lotion
into the face, neck. arms and hands
once or twice daily may be repaid
with a skin that is flexible and young
looking and peach-like complexion.

He says he had annoying symptoms
about his heart stomach and digestive
organs. His old friend. Senator George

take a course of Hoods Sarsaparilla
and Peptiron pills. which he did. and
now never felt better in all my

These medicines are obtainable from

The Women's Christian Tenn.
perance Union held their regular

sponded to roll call with current
events. A very instructive and
we'll rendered lesson was given on
War and Patriotism" by Mrs.

Clean Light Bulbs And Shades

Very few business houses and
even few housewives remember to
dust off the electric light bulbs and
shades. Many merchants allow
their light bulbs to become coated
with fly specks and then complain
that the lights are not good. Even
a thin film of dust reduces the can
dle-power materially, thus increas-
ing the consumption of current
and cost of lighting. When a lamp
becomes coated with dust, and does
not give anywhere near it's rated
candle-power, other lamps are
turned on, or a larger candle-power
is purchased, when an application
of a damp dust cloth would be
sufficient. Dust and dirt on lamp
bulbs cuts a large figure on your
light bill.

Charged With DisIOyaIty

j. W. Lind, teacher of the Bru-

been reported to the state council
of defense as dislOyal. He is ac-
cused of various disloyal acts, such
as printing pamphlet in which he
charges the eastern press of this
country has been purchased by the
English government and that the
English language newspapers gen.
orally have not permitted Ger
many's side of the war to be print
ed.
1t is also said that he refused to
sign the food pledge and would
not permit it to be circulated for
his school Children to sign. Lind
holds life certificate to teach in
the public schools of Missouri.
The state superintendent of public
schools was requested bv the coun-

Water Shortage

Brookfeld has gone dry. Not
bone dry" however, just a short
age of water for railroad and fac
tory use. The railroad company
has been hauling water for some
time from Yellow creek but that
supply is just about exhausted and
two tanks are now being erected
and a big boiler and engine in
stalled on Locust creek west of La
clede in order to relieve the situa-
tion. The Locust creek water sta
ton is to be permanent and there
is talk in railroad circles that a
pipe line is to be laid to Laclede
and big standpipe erected here
that will force the water on to
Brookfeld through a pipe along
the track.
The electric light plant at Brook
field is short of water and is able
to carry only about half of its US
ual load. Street service at Brook
field, Laclede and Linneus has been
cut off and the load lightened
wherever possible. Current for
inside lighting is now all that is
being furnished. The light COM
pany, however, has a force of men
work on a battery of wells
near the plant that is expected to
furnish sufficient water within a
few days.
