GihSI Try This on Your Hands,
Make a Lemon Beauty Cream
Juice Of lemons clears soens and whens the skin. Prepa

that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallow-

Try it, girls! Get three
ounces of Orchard White at
any pharmacy or toilet coun-
ter and two lemons from the
grocer and make up a quarter
pint of this fragrant lemon
lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms, and

beauty Of any skin. 1t is
marvellous to smoother rough,
