Lemons Beautify! Strain lemon juice we'll before mixing and massage face,
 neck, arms, hands.


 Here is told how to prepare an in expensive lemon lotion which can be used to bring back to any skin the sweet freshness of which it has been robbed by trying atmospheric condi- tions. Windchafe, roughncss. tan and redness are warded off and those tell tale lines of care of age are softened away.
 The juice of two fresh lemons strained into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whoi , quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon pulp through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keen fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and re- move such blemishes as freckles, sal lowness 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 lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands, and see for yourself.-Adv.
