LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see,
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irrital-
ing, and should be mixed with or
chard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing about
three ounces of orchard white, then
shake we'll and you have whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for a small jar of ordinary cold
cream. BE sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the face, neck, arms and hands it
should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

careful search of the apartments he
had occupied here revealing nothing to
directly connect him with the crime,
but Philadelphia detectives here said
they have found strong circumstantial
evidence and are convinced that he was

was the man wanted for the murder.
Some of the detectives working on the
case believe that il they had not come
upon Lewis so suddenly he may have
left a letter telling of his connection,
if any, with the murder.
The police believe he contemplated
suicide by gas asphyxiation. A towel
had been placed over the transom of
his room and the keyhole of the door
in the apartment was found stuffed
with paper. The police say they be-

life and was taking his own time about
it, and that he had purchased the .22-
caliber rifle to make a quick finish in
the event he was suddenly surprised.

Pittsburgh. So far the county physi-
clan has ordered no inquest.

PHILADELPHIA, January 5.-Few

thrilling sidelights as that of Maize
Agnes Colbert. who was known to
many prominent men as Mrs. Grace
Roberts.
1t was on Saturday night. December

Bessie Colbert of 40 North EdgewoOd

manicurist, in the Wilton apartment
house, on the corner of 18th and Poplar
streets. tightly locked, and she could
get no response to repeated knocking.
Summoning the janitor, Miss Colbert
had him enter the apartment. and then
it was that the murder was discovered
Maize Colbert, or Mrs. Roberts, as she
was better known, had been foully
murdered. The police surgeon who ex-
been beaten to death and that then a
black silk stocking had been knotted
around her neck to make certain of the
crime. The murderer had also impro-

The police in the course of their early
investigation found that the last per-

noon Friday. From then until the time
of the discovery of the body no one had
been located who had seen or talked to
the woman. The police surgeon an

Family Prominent in Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH, January 5.-Wenman
A. Lewis, wealthy retired coal operator
and father of Bernard w. Lewis, lives
in a handsome residence at S26 Amber
son avenue, an exclusive section of the
East End district. Bernard w. Lewis
was well known here. having been as
ISOLATED with his father in the coal
business, and at one time was connect
ed in an official capacity with five coal
companies in West Virginia. He was a
member of the class of 1901 at Yale.
but did not graduate. Three years ago
he became member of one of the
largest stock brokerage houses in the
city, but retired from the firm one year
later.
During that time. however. his bust
ness frequently took him to New York.
where, his friends declare, he soon
made acquaintance which familiarized
him with the night life of the city.
From that time they date the begin
ming of his failure in business. Do
nestle troubles later complicated the
situation. His residence here was
closed and Mrs. Lewis and her little
daughter went to live with his par
ents.
Personal financial ventures in which
he was concerned, particularly the
ownership of Pittsburgh theater. also
failed, and although efforts were made
by his family and frineds to rehabili-
tate his fortunes, he gave them little
announcement, they say.
