A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare a quarter pint at about
the cost of a small jar of
common cold cream.

When this homemade lemon lotion
IL gently massaged into the face,
neck, hands and arms daily, the skin
naturally should become soft, clear
and white. and the complexion dainty
and attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
Of lemon Juice to remove complexion
blenishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
Juice alone is acid, therefore iTritat-
ing and should be mixed with Or
child white this way: Strain through
a fine cloth the juice Of two fresh
lemons into n bottle containing about
three ounces Of orchard white, then
snake well and you have a WI Jie
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
iuice SO no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
10 the face, neck, arms and hands 1t
naturally should help to whiten, clear,
smoother and beautify.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
ladies can easily prepare and have
an inexpensive toilet aid which per-
fectly satisfies their natural desire for
. beautiful, soft skin.-Adv.

NEED MORE MONEY
FOR Foreign RELIEF
Armenians Still Suffering from Raw
ages of the War.

Here is given the latest word re-
garding the situation in Turkey. II
ZONES in a letter to the chairman OF
tn. Amer can Committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief. The writer
:. eGkiug Uf only one relatively small
section Of the field Of need suggested
$4,000 which must be multiplied many
times to enable the committee to
reach all parts Of the country.
We cannot this writer says i'm
press upon you too strongly the need
Of prompt action if the remnant OF
the Armenian people is not TO perish.
II seems a horrible thing to sustain
them thus far and then let them die
through neglect. II is possible that
your committee thinks there are not
means Of distributing relief since the
Ambassador came away, but l want to
assure you that it is not so. There
are members of the American En-
b.ssy lUrCe stIll in COnstantinOple,
and they ale working with and
through the Swedish Legation which
now has charge of American interests
in Turkey.
we do not think he continued.
our missionaries remaining will suffer
bodily harm, but living conditions
are growing steadily worse and they
must have large increase in funds u
make up for the high prices Of fooG.
They can all do relief work II they
have the money and We can get money
10 them, but not unless your commit
tee responds to urgent appeals Of our
committee. In each station which our
people have left they have arranged
with responsible people to look after
relief, so that funds will not be mis-ap-
plied, and there are yet thousands Of
Armenians who have no place to look
for help but to the American mission
aries or their representatives.

Sunday afternoon the traffic between
Washington and Baltimore. as much
as goes over the Bladensburg road,
was In dire danger OF being tied up.
This was because no one was rude
enough to want to run over Bertha
Parks, who had the whole road the
better part of the afternoon. Bertha
and her little bottle had a falling
out earlier In the day and why should
she worry? There was enough booze
In that direction to float q Dread
nought, and Bertha went after Il.
Pretty soon she was floating all over
the place and q cop had to take
charge of Bertha so that automobiles
and other vehicles could get by. And
right here the fun started. Bertha
gave the cop and the onlookers the
results of ten correspondence-schoo
lessons in cussing. 1t is true that
Bertha had a good time, even the
cop said so; but what is that to the
time she will have in paying a so
fine?
"xIssIe LIszie."
It was u o'clock at night. Lizzie
Johnson and Matt Hendre were stroll
ing through Judiciary Square. Every
step or two a smack could be heard
and Matt would say. ''s'more." OF
course Lizzie was kissing him. A
cop who. by the way, was married
listened to It for a few minutes and
1t soon got on his nerves. 1t was
sickening. he thought, for two turtle
doves to keep kissing and hardly stop
to get breath.
Now these two doves were single
and had a right to kiss, but they
kissed so loud and so long that they
had to be arrested for being noisy.
Folks in that neighborhood noticed
the smacking sounds and whispered in
the policeman's ear. He tapped Matt
behind the ear very gently and
broke UP the oscillation. But Matt
thinks after all it was worth the SO
fine he paid for himself and Lizzie.
Charlie, He's . Brick"
"Jedge, this man owed me some
money and he told me come 'roun
on the vacant lot and he pay me,
an went and this is what he give
me-" Stuart Carter exhibited to the
court a brick that had been broken
by coming into contact with his head.
The brick was propelled by the strong
arms of Charles Taylor. Charlie had
been feeding his face at stuart's
house, and had agreed to help Stuart
| along with the grocery bill. But
!this was a mere promise, that's all,
and 1t didn't take Stuart long to
fnd out about it. He kept after
Charlie.
Every time he would see Charlie he
would ask him to come across with
some long green. Charles got tired
and selected a well-seasoned brick
and Stuart knows the rest. From a
standpoint Of economy 1t would have
been cheaper for him to pay, because
Judge Pugh sent Charlie down for
sixty days.

Wonderful Stuff!
 Lift Out Your COrns

No humbug! Any corn, wheth- CT hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or sore ness.
 This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man.
 Ask at any drug store for a small bott.e of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is suffi- cient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
 Put few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus, any tender, aching corn or raiius. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly hhe corn<@or callus will loosen and ca2~'he lifted of with the fingers.
 This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corns or calluses but shriv- els them without even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Just think, No pain at all; no sroeness or 9marting when applying Fit or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freezone have him order it for you. *u
