At the cost of small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint Of the most wonderful lemon

such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,

up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. It
should naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty Of any skin. It is truly marvel

SENATE TO TRY AGAIN
Fresh Effort to Be Made to untan-

The Senate Democratic Steering
Committee will make another EFFORT
today to straighten out the badly
tangled legislative situation.
The committee met last Friday and
was told by President Wilson what he
expected In way of legislation. The
President gave it out he wanted the
program put through which was in
cluded in his message
Legislation on Program.
This would comprehend railroad
legislation. the Webb export bill, cor
rupt practices legislation, and the
Porto Rico bill.
Moreover, there are appropriations
and revenue bills to be passed.
Six weeks remain of the session.
and the only way to break the legis-
lative Jam seems to be to hold day
and night sessions and let part OF
the White House program go.
Whether II will be possible to avoid
an extra session Is not yet clear.
No Sign of Victory.
The President so far Is insisting
on the railroad legislation he has
recommended, but the opposition to
the Canadian plan, involving the idea
of keeping men from striking, is such
that there is no sign. as yet the
measure can be forced through no
matter how much the big stick is
used.
To attempt to force It through the
Senate will mean a protracted fiiibus-
ter, and it is generally believed the
President will not insist to that point.
A compromise on railroad legislation,
II there is any at all, is generally ex-
pected.
