The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautifier at about the
cost one must pay for small jal
of the ordinary cold creams. Care
should be taken to strain the lemon

keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used tc
bleach ard remove such blemishes as
frecsles sallowness ard tan and IS the
ideal skin softerer, smoothener and

= Just try 1t! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make

AMERICAN TROOPS REM
DERED SPLENDID AID

American troops aided in the fight
ing which halted the German advance
Tuesday. Presumably they are part
of General Pershing's main units orig
inally posted farther to the north. 1t
may be, however, that they are a part
Of the reinforcements that have been
rushed over since the German high
command determined to force the war
to conclusion in the hope that de-
eisive victory could be won before the
American army arrived in force.
The French in Tuesdays official
statement paid tribute to the dashing
skill of the Americans engaged in a
counter attack which threw the ad-
vancing enemy back out Of NeQlll,,,
wood, west of Chateau Thierry. The
stroke was characterized by the
French commanders as magnificently
delivered. Apparently the German
advance in that direction was stopped
short by the blow.
At another point where the first Of
the German horde had found its way
across the Marne, Franco-American
north of the river, and destroyed the
bridge on which they crossed. Again,
the enemy was stopped short.
Gen. Pershing in his official report
Of the incident made public tonight
dismissed it briefly. The Americans
have done only what was expected of
them, officers said, in expressing graf
nication that the American official
announcement had not made too much
of the matter

due to interstitial nephritis, which
had been chronic ailment with him

Fairbanks was &c years old and was
nominated twice on the Republican
ticket for Vice President. After his
first nomination Re was elected but
was defeated in his second race in

this is the first we have heard OF

the Pastime and the opera house is
anxious to afford ladies who patron.
ize those places every protection that
the law affords and are sure no such
complaints as our correspondent men
tions have been brought to his atten
tion. It is no fault of his, of course ano
we can assure the ladies of Fairmont
that they need have no further fear:

point cut the offender to the prope,
authorities we can assure her that h,
will be dealt with as his offense de
serves. Such things may happen any
where m spite of every effort to guart
against them, and the way to breal
up this pernicious practice is to brins
the offenders promptly to account. w
regret that there has been occasion
for complaints and can assure az,
visiting ladies that extra effort viii

In mentioning Monday the fine

Thursday The Robasonian stated that
all business houses, were closed ex-

time does not open until about 2 o. m
daily and that statement would not
have been strictly correct if regular
hours had been observed. We are
advised, However, that the show was
not opened until about $50 p. m. or
that day, showing that it was closed
about three and half hours beyond
its usual tiin,e Of opening. The state.
ment was made on the authority Of
two reputable citizens, and neither
they nor The Rotesonian had any
idea Of doing the proprietor Of tht
Pastime an injustice. This correc

With the American Army In France.
The work Of the American hospital
units In Picardy has won high praise
from both French and British officials.
BY the establishment OF a nOn-trans-
portable field hospital only a short dis
tance from the front line, the first OF
it's kind to be introduced, 1t has been
possible to perform operations which
seem to be little short Of miraculous.
OF 1856 cases recently admitted, Op-
erations were performed on 11S men,
and the mortality was only 30 per
cent. The doctors say that had 1t not
been for this hospital SO near the
scene of action the mortality undoubt-
edly would have been 80 or 80 per
cent.
This hospital is situated In a pic
turesque bit Of country. 1t Is sur
rounded by wild flowers. The prin-
cipal building formerly was the coun-
try home Of French count, who now
lives In the stable with the countess.
1t is said this hospital Is one of the
InOSC COIuplctC ih DoAOPS' -
equipped with every necessity.
Near the hospital Is a cemetery in
which nearly 100 Americans are
buried. When all is quiet along the
front and the hospital attendants have
some spare time they pick wild flow
ers and decorate the graves. Many
aged French women also spend much
time in this way. They say this Is
little enough for them to do to show
their appreciation Of what American
mothers are doing for France.
Shell American Cemetery.
The Germans have been deliberate
ly shelling an American cemetery near
the front In Picardy. Recently one
grave was torn up four times. 1t may
be cited in contrast that the .Ameri-
cans in this sector few days ago
took a German prisoner who was NOR
tally wounded. He died and received
a Christian funeral and burial In the
American cemetery near the front.
His grave was marked In the same
manner as the others.
Except artillery activity, the Amer
lean front In Picardy has been quiet
for several days. There are signs be-
