cost and just see
for yourself.

An attractive skin wins admiration:
In social life and in business the girl
or woman whose face and hands snow

cold cream one can prepared full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beaut-
fier, by squeezing the juice OF two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white. Care
should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon 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 beau
tifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face. neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Automobile Almost Went Over Bank
Near Willard Monday Night.

Just three feet stood between three
Oklahomans and death or serious in
jury near Willard Monday evening,
according to a story told today by
Sheriff Hugh Larimer.
Larimer and Undersheriff Bob
Miller were driving out of Willard af-
ter dark. Before them was bridge
and on the other side of the bridge a
high hill which they had to climb in
their machine. Both noticed an auto
light on the brow of the hill. The
light came toward them like a dart.
AS the light approached they heard
a woman's scream and men shouting.
The officers halted their car and
waited for developments The ma
chine bearing the light was undistin-
guishable in the dark.
A few feet from the bridge the light
swerved to one side. They could hear
a woman sobbing The sheriff and
undersheriff hurried across the bridge
and Investigated.
They saw a big motor truck with a
trailer attached, sunk in the mud
The nose of the truck was just three
feet from a creek enbankment, fully
ten feet deep. The woman was in
Mysteries. Larimer and Miller assisted
her to their car where she rested.
There were three persons on the
truck, two men and the woman. They
were Oklahomans who are drilling fol-
oil near Willard. They had driven
from Oklahoma with a truck and
trailer filled with heavy pipes.
AS they started to descend the hill
the brake on the truck refused tc
work. There was nothing to do sbu1
to hit the bump at the bridge and
drove into the soft mud. The wheel:
sunk deep and stopped the car three
feet from the embankment-

Municipal improvements for Topeka

Only work that is most urgent and
necessary will be done. Improvements
that are only desirable and are not

time nearly fifteen petitions had been
presented to the city.
Sewer and Water Main Work.
Extension of sewer and water mains
will probably be checked, too. In the
outlying communities where extern

about given up petitioning. Their
money is tied up in war loans and

according to Commissioner WATSON
Taxes may not be lowered for the
city but special taxes will be much

One of the primary factors in the
