Lovely White Skin! Strain lemon juice we'll before mixing and massage face,
 neck, arms, hands.

By all means, girls prepare a lemon lotion to keep your skin flexible and young looking. You will soon realize that true loveliness does not mean the powdery-look or waXen colorlessness of some hot-house flower, but is typi- fled by the velvety softness of your skin, your peach-like complexion and rosy-white hands.
 At the cost of small jar of ordi- nary cold cream one can prepare full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into bottle contain ing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through 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 beautifier.
 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 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 hidden beauty of any skin. It is simp- ly marvellous to smoother rough, red handS.-Adv.

Preparedness

Preparedness is topic of nationa! importance, no matter which side or the question you may take. Is the nation properly, prepared? It Is a grave question.
 But that is question for the ra- tions to answer. There is one ques- tion nearer home. the matter of finan- ciaa preparedness of the individual against the, rainy day of diversity that may come. Are you financially prepared to meet that sickness which may come to you or your family! Are you prepared for the time when there may be loss of employment. or loss by fire. flood, or mismanagement? Are you prepared for the old age that's sure to come? These are seri- ous, vital questions to every one of us. If you are not prepared, resolve to open a savings account at our bank today and thus make the first step toward your own preparedness.
