LEMONS MAKE SKIN

Make this Beauty Lotion for n Few
Cents and Sec for Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
Of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to whiten the skin
and to bring out the roses, the fresh
ness and the hidden beauty? But
lemon juice alone is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way: Strain
through fine cloth the juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle contain
ing 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 1t should
help to bleach, clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.
Auy druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem

(Greenville News.)

III the why's and wherefores Of
pedagogy we are not at all versed,
but, even at the risk of being charged
with ignorance, we put this ques-
tion: Why isn't more emphasis and
dignity placed upon the history Of
South Carolina in the schools and
colleges? Some years ago it was
taught In the fifth grade and never
thereafter, taking into consideration
the four years history course in the
colleges. Our information is to the
effect that the situation now is prac-
ttcally what it was then.
OF course, all history Is interest
ing and instructive. The life of any
people Is a profitable study. History
is fabric into which is woven the
record of all the races in all the ages.
TO proper understanding Of kmeri-
can institutions some knowledge of
English history, especially in its con-
stitutional phases, is indispensable.
1t goes almost without saying tina.
American history must be stressed in
the curriculum; if it be properly
taught by teacher who is interested
In the subject, 1t Is more dramatic
and entertaining than moying pic
lures.
That every student should be given
clear and comprehensive perspec-
tive Of all history. ancient and mod
ern, Is undisputed, yet why Is it that
the noble and inspiring record of the
Palmetto State is relegated to a very
early period in the future citizens
schooling? 1t seems to us that it
belongs to maturer stage Of mental
development than the fifth grade.
How many Of us can recall anything
definite about the great men and the
great events Of our States illustri-
Gus career? How many OF us can
give clear definition of nullifica-
tion or three-minute sketch Of Nc
Duffle, Calhoun, Hampton, Harper,
Pettigru, Laurens or Pinckney? AS
matter Of truth, the facts that the
average South Carolinian knows
about South Carolina history would
be contained within a few hundred
words-and less than that, If 1860
were the stopping point.
For our part, we hold to the opin-
ion that our people would be moved
by loftier patriotism and unmoved
hxy oh IL fc
ize and contemplate the men who
lived and died for South Carolina in
the grand manner, If they could have
clearer and full perception of the

when we know nothing about il?

On January "a, 1917, the spirit of
Mrs. Genia Bellotte winged its way
from earth back to the God who gave
1T. Quietly, peacefully as she had
lived, she passed away. She had
been i'll for only short while. She
was born January 5, 1882, short
distance from where she died, so her
whole life was spent in the same
community. She was quiet and unas-
suming in her manner, yet ever ready
to render assistance to those with
whom she came in contact. 1t
brought sadness to many hearts when
1t became known that Genia was
dead, for she counted her friends by
her acquaintances; and to know her
was to love her. She is sadly missed
in the home, but we are comforted
by the thought that we sorrow not
as those who have no hope; and some
sweet day we all hope to meet again.
not only Genia, but other loved ones,
too, who have gone before. "The
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name Of the
Lord"
Mrs. Bellotte was consistent
member Of Fairview Methodist
church. Funeral services were held
at Fairview church January 26th by
Rev. N. G. Ballenger, and on the day
following her little son Charles was
laid to rest beside her. He's bright
little angel now, playing around the
throne of God.
On January c8th her dear father
passed away. All three died in just
four days time. He died the death
that none but the righteous die. He
fell asleep in the arms Of Jesus and
said he was ready to go. He was sick
in bed only four days. Just 13 days
before his death his son-in-law, Will
liam McAlister, passed away.

have been when they were all united
in that happy land! A.

If the heavenly aroma Of ripening
scuppernongs doesn't greet your nos
trils as dew falls on September even-
ings, resolve that your family shall
have this privilege in future years;
for it Is certainly privilege just to
smell their matchless fragrance, to
say nothing Of actually tasting the
liquid nectar, and then tasting on un-
til the palate is satisfied.
A Southern farm home without a
cluster Of crepe myrtles to glorify,
and pecan to dignity the front yard,
scuppernong vine fruiting in the
back yard, a watermelon patch to
gladden. the summer and a sweet po-
tato patch to furnish juicy sweetness
a home simply isn't Southern. It's in
the South, but not of it; denying to
itself the real glories and privileges
Of our Southern climate. All Of these
hings-crepe myrtles, pecans, water
melons, scuppernongs, and sweet po-
tatoes-belong to the South and will
not come to perfection outside of
Dixie, and certainly none of us in the
Sunny South ought to neglect the
special opportunity that Providence
offers us in allowing us to grow them
here.
In speaking Of crepe myrtles, we
may note that the President of the
United States has crepe myrtle grow
Ing both in the front yard and the
back yard of the White House. Go
past the Capitol Of the United States
at this season of the year and the
first flash of color you see In the bo-
tanical gardens is that of blossoming
, crepe myrtle; then go on up Penn
sylvania avenue to the White House
grounds, either front Or rear, and the
same thing Is true. Although situa-
| ted in land cut out from Virginia,
Washington Is too far north for the
crepe myrtle to do Its best, but it is
utilized anyhow. And If in its i'm
perfect form it is SO recognized and
utilized on the White House grounds
isn't it still more worth while for
rich and poor in the real South,
where 1t flourishes best, to grow more
generally this king of all towering
shrubs?
Let's make these things the badge
of the Southern farm home; in the
front yard stately and useful pecans

long-lived beauty; scuppernongs

fields watermelons to gladden. the
