Lemon Juice Is
 Skin Beautifier,
 Also a Whitener

Many women. use just the juice of lemons to bleach or whiten the skin, but pure lemon t,it\ is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white.
 At the cost of a small jar of ordi- nary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonder ful lemon skin softener and complex ion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into bottle con- taining three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through fine cloth so no lem on pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it cily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to bring back to any skin the whiteness, the sweet freshness and flexibility of which it has been robbed by cariess- ness or trying atmospheric conditions. Adv.
