Lemon Juice is
 Skin Beautifier,
 Also a Whitener

Many women use just the juice of lemons to bleach or whiten the skin, but pure lemon juice is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white.
 At the cost of small jar of ordl- nary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonder ful lemon skin softener and complex ion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle con- taining three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through fine cloth so no lem, on pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every wo- man knows that lemon juice is used tc bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and IS the ideal skin softener, smoother and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of or chard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to bring back to any skin the whiteness, the sweet freshness and Reliability of which it has been robbed by carelessness or trying atmospheric conditlons.-Adv.

COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
It's Natural Color and Lustre
 at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux urlant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,' thus
 avoiding lot of muss
 While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful ap- pearance and attractiveness. By dark enlng your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After an- other application or two yourshair be- comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requ- lslte. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.- Adv.

Leland Murphy, a justice of the peace of Vauglne township, and Frank

 serve training camp at Fort Logan H. Roots. Earl Wood, city attorney: N. J. McClelland and Ed Dilcy of Pine Bluff, and Horatio Wells of Monticello, who is now in the city, will report at the camp today. Leroy Lake and John Sorrels have been ordered to report Friday while Armstrong Barrow and iJ. w. Adams are to report on Satur- day.
 Announcement was made yesterdav by United States army officers in
 charge of the camp at Fort Logan II. Roots that those who have enrolled
 are expected to report on the day des- ignated in orders to them. Some con- fusion resulted yesterday because of men reporting ahead of time. Army
 officers want the men to report as notified, not the day before nor the day after.
 A. G. Whidden, editor of The Ora phic, will have a nephew in the Fort Logan H. Roots camp-Ivan Mao nltZky of New Orleans, who is among the Louisiana and Mississippi mem

Captain La Dare has a realistic production showing a sea fight between a submarine and an American battleship of the California type in which the sub sea boat is driven off and destroyed, demonstrat- ing plainer than any articles on the subject the exact methods used in modern marine warfare.
 The Follies of Life is another that did land office business, and Mile Mrie startled and surprised the big crowds that visited the show with some amazing stunts on her racing auto, which she drives on perfectly perpendicular wall. There are four other riders on motorcycles who do clever trick and fancy riding as well
 as some keen racing.
 The Palace of Wonders was typical of it's name and nine human curiosl- ties helped tC entertain the public in a manner that reminds one ot tne palmy days of P. T. Barnum and hls famous side show.
 Jungleland also contained many wonders of the animal and reptile worlds, there were many rare specl- ments of birds and beasts, monkers, snakes ct al It offers educational features to all interested in zoology.
 Prince Napoleon proved to be a dapper little gentleman, 26 years or age and 26 inches in height, whilst the Royal English Twins, grown to. eether from birth were the circle or much wonderment and the source ot much comment They are two pretty young girls who hail from Austral,a and are both of them particularly bright and intelligent.
 Another novelty and sensation was sprung in the water circus where comedy damsels went into the water and forgot to come up again "ltnln any reasonable time and much wonderment was displayed when a1ter time had elapsed when all chances or respiration being possible had elapsed the said damsels appeared from the bottom of the tank. escorting Father Neptune. The submarine ballet as 1t is called was a pronounced success.

The high diving and other features. particularly the work of Miss Lillian Cooley and Miss Maud Jameson was much admired.
 Snake Old. presented a somewhat different exhibition in a den of rat tlesnakes and other poisonous rep tiles, it was interesting and the ob- iectionable features of lesser attrac- tions was conspicuous by their absence
 The Monkey Speedway was the comedy purveyor of the lot, the Simians proved to be expert chaffeurs and the way they handled their minia- ture autos was comical in the ex- treme, if you see nothing else than the monkey auto course your visit to the festival will not have been in vain.
 The Panama Canal proved to be all that has been claimed for it, real model of that famous waterway and a most interesting and educational eX- hibit The lecture that accompanied the presentation of the show was most comprehensive and extremely interesting.
 High Life was another fun maker that was we'll patronized, it caused roars of merriment from all who took the trip to the moon and from the appearance of their faces when they returned their trip was most en- joyable.
 The Whip proved to pc an original and up to date riding device and the ferris wheel and the famous $20,OO0 carry us all thing of beauty. redo lent in gold and silver and gorge ous riding device both safe and sane.

Shriners' Spring Festival Opens,

The Wortham Shows are here and
 they have more than lived up to their

 btrated that there is some reliance to

 fully advertised.
 A committee composed of the Rev.

 Collier censored all the attractions
 hnd concessions and ', unanimously bgteed that there was not the slight est objection to be sustained against bnything on the midway and that pcthing but clean, wholesome amuse- lment was presented at any of the Wortham entertainments.
 Citizens of Pine Bluff and their Eomenfolk can therefore visit the Ehriners' Festival with impunity and becure in the knowledge that they will not see or hear anything offens-
 i've or that may in any way tend to annoy them. The Wortham Shows have been given a clean bill of health.
 The shows themselves are quite the largest and most pretentious that ever visited the city, they crowd the big lot Rt Tenth and Main streets and a happy Gathering of people visited the varl- bus attractions and were pleased with Rll they saw.
 The big Backman animal show, where no less than fourteen acts are presented, ranging from the fighting lions, the pretty cubs, the high school horses and the riding puma to the Funny monkeys, the dogs and ponies end other features that go to make up hn exhaustive program was one ot the prime favorites and those who miss this sterling attraction will re- gret wasting an opportunity to see the best wild and domestic animal Phow in the country.
