GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint Of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing 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 lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautiGer.
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 frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. It is truly marvel
GUS to smoother rough, red hands. Adv.

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE
AND BELGIUM. Aug. 19.-The be-
ginning OF the fourth year of the
war finds the Germans making n
radical change in their methods OF
defense along the British battlefield
in northern France and Belgium. The
continuous lines of wonderfully con-
strrcted forward trenches with their
deep dugouts in which lived and
fought great numbers of men are
fast passing into the discard.
The enemy is adopting the system
of scattering his advance forces over
great depth CunnIngly construct
ed strongholds among the myriad ~
shell holes along the front now con-
cral innumerable small and more or
less isolated garrisons of men, who
formerly fought shoulder to shoulder
along great sti etches of picturesque
bitches, thru which communication
was not broken for miles.
British Artillery TO Blame.
This alteration has been brought
about by the evcr-growirg preponder-
ance OF British artillery which has
buried the German front line trenches
under an avalanche of shells and has
left the defenses nothing but heaped
burrows of earth and has made the
famous dugouts veritable man-traps
In which countless thousands have
lost their lives without chance OF
fighting back.
The continuous deluge of breakihs
steel made repair work on tho
trenches impossible and as the Ger
mans were gradually pushed back.

vent another mode Of stemming the

STEAMER BY INCHES
Speed Savior of American
Ship Off Irish Coast;
Assailant Escapes.

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Aug. 10
An American passenger steamship
which arrived from England today
was attacked by submarine off the
Irish coast on her last outward voy-
age and escaped being torpedoed by
margin of inches. her officers said.
The periscope OF the U-boat was
observed abeam OF the vessel by one
lookout almost at the same moment
another espied the approach Of a tor
pedo. As the missile came on. 1t
seemed. judging from its course, that
the liner was doomed. Her speed,
however, saved her, the torpedo miss
ing the rudder. the officers said. by
not more than foot. The navy gun
ners fired almost instantly. but
missed. The submarine submerged,
but soon the periscope reappeared
two hundred yards astern, the Uboat
commander evidently anxious to see
whether his torpedo had found its
mark.
The gunners fired a second shot,
but that also went wide. The subma-
rine then quickly submerged again.
