What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon juice to remove complexion bem.
ishes: to bleach the skin and to bring out
the roses, the freshness and the hidden
beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid

through fine cloth the juice Of two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well, and you have whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion To-
ton at about the cost one usually pays

Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no
pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for months.

NO COMMENCEMENT
Norwich University Hasn't Any Seniors

Norwich university at Northfeld, will
not have a commencement this year.
This action was taken by the executive
committee, which met May %, the action
being based upon the recommendation
OF the faculty. Norwich university

the government service either as see
ond lieutenant in the marine corps, the
army, assistant paymaster in the navy,
or as member of the officers training
camps, excepting one, who failed to pass
the physical examination, and he, de-
termned not to be left out entirely has
secured employment as chemist with a
large explosive manufacturing concern.
This is doubtless an unprecedented rec
ord, for it is not believed that the stu
dents of any other institution in the
United States have made similar show
ing,
In addition to the record made by the
senior class, the juniors are doing their

two hundred, but sixty-four cadets are

LOWERING FOOD COST.
Chicago Grocers Estimate Annual Saving
of S1o.oso.oool in Deliveries.

Chicago, May ga plan to save Chi
cago consumers $l9950,000 annually
through new regulations on delivery OF
goods and charge accounts by retailers
especially food purveyors, was outlined
yesterday by S. w. Roth of the Whole
sale Grocer and Retailers Journal, be-
fore food conference called by the city
public service commissioner.
Under the plan the retailer would make
a charge of five cents on each delivery
of goods and one cent on every dollar Of
credit. In this way, Mr.. Roth said. the
merchant could so lower his prices that
cash customers willing to carry their
purchases home could save 10 TO Is per
cent. More than 100 Chicago merchants
are said to have adopted the plan and
found it good.
