LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE SOFT CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for a
few cents and see fer
yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to whiten the skin and
to bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore, irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with or
chard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing about
three ounces of orchard white, then
shake well and you have a whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for small jar of ordinary cold
cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied
daily to the face, neck, arms and
hands it should help to bleach. clear,
smoother and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem
ons.

ARE YOU LOYAL
AND FOUR-SQUARE?

Recently the government instruct
ed all newspapers that, beginning on
November 1st, all subscribers who
were in arrears on subscription 8
months or more, should be stricken
off the list and papers discontinued
to such parties.
This is ruling by the government
and the newspapers must obey the
order.
Now Mr.. Reader, the question is,
have you been square and fair with
your home paper? If you wished to
discontinue your subscription or con-
tinue it, have you walked up like a
honest man and paid your subscrip-
tion as the government requires?
If you don't care to continue your
subscription you should be honest
enough to pay up what you owe and
then stop the paper-don't for good
ness sake try to "beat" your paper
out of the paltry sum you owe.
We thank the many hundreds of
subscribers who have paid their sub
scriptions as the government requires,
but there are still number who owe
on their paper who have not, and
we are now running over our list and
checking off all delinquents just as
fast as possible. When we get the
entire list checked over unless the ac-
counts are paid by that time we shall
be compelled to turn the accounts
over to an attorney to enforce col
lection.
Again we ask the question, Mr..
Reader, have you been square and
paid up?

Immediately es Certain?-
that's the joy of it. Your hair be-
comes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant
and appears as soft, lustrous and
beautiful as a young girls after a
Danderine hair cleanse. Just try
this-moisten cloth with little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt or excessive
oil, and in just few. moments you
have doubled the beauty of your
hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neglected
or is scaggy, faded, dry, brittle or
thin. Besides beautifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifes and in
vigorates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair, but what will
please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you will see new
hair-fine and downy at first-yes-
but really new hair growing all over
the scalp. If you care for pretty
soft hair, and lots of it, surely get {

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why a corn is so painful
and says cutting makes
them grow.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes
press against your corn it pushes
down upon sensitive nerve and you
get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns.
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This viii cost very little but is sugfi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. A.
few drops applied directly upon ten
der, aching corn stops the soreness
instantly, and soon the corn shrivels
up so it lifts right out, root and all.
without pain. This drug freezone is
harmless and never inflames or even

A CHRISTIAN SLEEPETH
(By S. J. SMITH)


Ever ready, she answered the heaven
enav call
Living daily in prayer and the Mas
ter's work,
Leaving no duty undone-she was
loved by all;
Answering every call-none did she
shirk.
Friendly she was, her departure was
truly sad;
Loving kindness was by God given
unto her,
Offering and rendering her service,
she was only too glad
Your relief to minister and never at
any time defer
Doing the biddings of the Master,
serving her comrades.
Devoted wife and loving mother now
in her grave,
Oh how sad! but she's at rest. that's
sure;
Years of service to her God she free
ly gave,
Looking to the Master who made her
heart pure,
Everlastingly her dear ones and the
world to save.
