Lemons Whiten and
 Beautify the Skin!
 Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon 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 belmishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Make up quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should natu- rally help to whiten. soften, freshen, and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough, red hands.
 Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons. Adv.
