GIRLS! MAKE LEMON
LOTION TO WHITEN
AND BEkUTIFY SKIN

In all weathers the skin and COM
plexion can be kept wonderfully clear,
soft and white by the use of this in
expensive lemon lotion which any girl
or woman can easily prepare.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifer at
about the cost one must pay for a
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 To-
ton will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon
juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan, and is the ideal skin softener,
smoother and beautifer.
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. It naturally
should help to soften, freshen, bleach
and bring out the roses and hidden
beauty Of any skin. Those who will
make it a habit to gently massage
this lotion into the face, neck, arms
and hands once or twice daily may
be repaid with a skin that is flexible
and young looking and a peach-like
complexion.-AdV.

ALASKA MAY SHIP
 STUDS TO SEATTLE
 TO BE MARKETED

SEATTLE, Sept. 0-Southwest- ern Alaska is enjoying the great est prosperity in it's entire history as a result of the great activity in mines and fisheries and the building of the Alaska railroad, according to A. H. Mcdonald, agent for the AL aska Steamship Company in Seward, who is making his first visit to Se atle in two years, says The Times.
 Seward and the Southwestern Alaska country never were better, said Mcdonald today. ''The district is not only producing more more and more fish but much more agri- culture. It is estimated that the potato crop of the Matanuska and other districts in that vicinity this year will reach 5000 tons. There will be more potatoes than Anchor age and surrounding sections can utilize and the farmers of the dis trict are seeking a market for their supplies. Juneau and other cities in the North have been asked fol quotations and if the price contin- ued to advance here, Alaska may be shipping potatoes to the Seattle market"
