BE BRAVE, ENTER THE KITCHEN


Margaret Deland, the we'll known
writer, says in the January Woman's
Home Companion:
''This is a brave world just now, and
it shames us to admit, ever to our
selves; how we hate to face some do
nestle guns; we hate to ask about left
over dropped eggs; aud still more do
we funk the going back to h good
sense of mothers and grandmothers,
and do our own ordering! There is,
however, one thing that would help US
poor craven h~ousekeepers immensely,
namely, q community effort If groups
of Women-the women's clubs, the Wo-
men of a parish, the women of a
street-woulN get together, and pledge
each other their moral support, the
domestic situation would be immense
ly helped; we would cease to be bull
lied by our kitchens. One let Mary re-
alize that not only Mrs. A is mean
and Mrs. B. 'snoops round in the re-
Ifrigerator,' and Mrs. c. gives We a call
down about yer potato parings,' but
that the whole alphabet of housekeep-
ers will not permit waste, Mary, too,
and all her kin, will finally fall into
line!
You know the fable Of the old man
and his sons and the sticks The sim
gle stick al easily broken. The sin
gle housekeeper is easily cowed. The
fagot is unbreakable! If We women,
all together, insist upon a moral, so
cial course, u kitchens will join u.s."

ORDER FARM MACHINERY NOW

Once again, if you are going to need
any new implements in your next
years farming you should order them
at once. This applies to repairs for
old machinery as we'll as to new i'm
plements. The man who neglects his
farm equipment until the time to ust it
comes around, as to many farmers
have been doing, is likely to have to
get through without the machinery he
needs.
Next year the best farm machinery
and equipment is going to be more ur-
gently needed than ever before. Equip
ment must to a large degree take the
place of men. Make sure at once that
every machine o expect to use next
year is in working shape, and place
orders right now for repairs and new

readers for abandoning the patent
inside and printing a four page paper
but all home print. What the Sun
should apologize for is for having used
a patent inside so long. Neardly every
family nowadays gets a daily and farm
papers and magazines. They do not
subscribe to the Andrews Sun to read
about the wal nor about the miners
strike. They want the Sun for the
news of that town and Cherokee coun-
ty. And the sooner the country week
lies realize this, the sooner will they
make themselves solid with their sub
scribers- Many weeklies are making
themselves weakly by trying to issue
a paper with many pages merely for
show. The time for show is past.
Print paper prices and war conditions
should dictate less paper and more
home news. Also. we'll MI have
to come to the cash-in-advance SUBJ

BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make this beauty lotion cheaply for
your face, neck, arms and hands.

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifer,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the 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
frcckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifCr.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
81 quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lomon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and sands. 1t is
marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
we'll, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stufy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
| stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
! you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the, inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sa1Iow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which viii cost very little, but ii
sufficient to make anyone a pro
i nounced crank or the subject O
internal sanitation.
