LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion for q Few
Cents and SEQ for Yourself,

What girl or woman hasn't heard
OF lemon juice to remove complexion
blcmishes. 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
tino cloth the juice Of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces Of orchard white,
then shake well and you have whole
quarter pint Of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for a 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 1t should holp 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 tho
lemons.-Adv.

"BY FAIRFIELD SCHOOL,"

The Courier cOnBratulatcS the Fair
dicld school upon the thoughtfulness
d dlSplaycd in the following brief note:
"Editor Keowee Courier:
please find enclosed one dol
lar for one years subscription to
The Courier, to be sent to the
following address:
private Claude Williams,
'Baty. b, 25th Batt'ln.
"Third Brigade,
"Camp Jackson, S. c.
by Fairfield School"
This Is the first letter Of the kind
Tho Courier has received. 1t shows
that the Fairfield school is thinking
o. the boys who go from that com
munity and are remembered by their
5cllow-pupils Of to-day or Of the past.
Private Claude Williams will at stat
cd intervals be reminded Of the boys
and girls with whom he has been as
Hociated In the close comradeship Of
school; he will think kindly Of those
who remembered him by sending to
him weekly the paper he has been ac-
cuStomcd to read. There is oppor-
tlnity for other schools to take uD
similar method Of remembering the
boys who go to camp and will later
80 overseas to fight for liberty and
Independence.
The action Of the Fairfield school
boys and girls is in striking contrast
20 the suggestion that has been made
TO us several times-that we place on
oar mailing lift the name Of each man
rs he is drafted, subscription free, for
iAc period Of the war. We only wish
tAat we were able to stand the drain
on our resources and comply with the
suggestion. but it Is out Of the uues-
tion. Relatives, friends, or even
schools and communities, can with
nut little expense subscribe for the
local paper preferred by the soldier
aad send 1t to him, and he will app Ne
cate 1t doubly on account of the as
aociations that cling to the ever-re-
curing thought that "the folks back
home remembered him in this
thoughtful manner. For The Cou-
Hier or other local paper to undertake
TO supply each member Of the army
1rom Oconee with a free copy Of the
paper would prove heavy drain
upon tho daily dwindling pdoflts Of
tle business.
We congratulate Fairfield school
and commend the thoughtfulness Of
those who remembered American Sol

JUDSON MEN COMMENDED.
"Wcll Done, Men Of Judson!" Says
Prof. Morrison, Teacher Of Civics.

Editor ke0wee Courier: The daily
papers inform us that the people Of
Judson Mill village (near Greenville)
recently held mass meeting, at
which number Of matters for the
good Of the community we're dis
cussed. Such meetings are worthy
Of all commentator. An authority
on civics says: THE influence of the
town meeting (New England), as it
was called, was very great AS a
means for acquiring Information it
was to the early settlers what the
newspaper is to us. Here it was that
the voters engaged in spirited debate
over the domestic affairs Of the COM
mnnity; here they listened to and
were influenced by their ablest men
upon matters Of general interest to
the whole colony; and here were de-
vcloped that spirit Of Independence
and that Familiarity with the meth
ods OF self-government upon which
has been reared the enduring struc-
turc Of our national life"
And Thomas Jefferson, no mean
authority on questions OF citizenship,
wrote: "The townships in New Eng
land are the vital principle of their
government, and have proved them
selves the wisest invention ever de-
viscd by the wit of man for the per-
feet exercise Of scli-govcrn ment and
for its preservation"
These men OF Judson adopted a
resolution that there must be no
mud-slinging in campaign meetings
in their community. Read the reso-
lution
BE it resolved by the Judson Mill
people, in mass meeting assembled,
That we will not allow any public
speaker to come into our village, or
upon our highway, and make use of
language unbecoming a gentleman,
whereby the morals Of our young
people may be lowered.
BE it further resolved, That any
people that will be Of information to
them, the speakers excluding all per-
sonal attacks and mud-slln ging, we
will endeavor to give them good
audience and attention."
Let me as teacher of civics COM
mend these meetings in general ard
these resolutions In particular. AL
low me at the same time to earnestly
protest against our newspapers
speaking Of our campaign parties as
"circus.' The abuse of any plan is
no argument against It's proper use.
Every year Of my life strengthens
my belief in the great and growing
power Of the printing press, and Of
public meetings, as factor in the
training Of our people for the duties
OF citizenship.

Wilson Open Loan
 Drive in New York
Has Consented to Speak Fri day Night - Preparations For Campaign Going Steadily Ahead.

Washington Sept. 25. - President Wilson will launch the fourth Liberty loan campaign with an address Fri day night in New York city: The pres ident previously had decided that he could not leave Washington to make an extended speaking tour on behalf of The loan, but he consented today to speak on the eve of the opening of the three weeks drive.
 Final preparations for the cam paign went steadily ahead today. Treasury department officials took cognizance of widespread reports that no subscriptions of less than $200 would be accepted for the fourth loan and that no $50 bonds would be is- sued. As proving the falsity of these rumors officials pointed to the fact tLat a larger proportion of $50 bonds have been printed this time than ever before and to the additional fact that loan committees have instructions to make strong efforts to sell these baby bonds" to persons of very small means who are inclined not to partici- pate in the loan.
 About 1,500,000 bonds. mainly of small denominations had been finish ed by the bureau of printing and en- graving today and these were on their way to federal reserve district head quarters. The first shipments went yesterday to San Francisco and other

SOLDIER VOTE MAY DECIDE
 NEW JERSEY PRIMARY

Trenton, N. J.. Sept. 5.-Indications tonight were that the soldier. vote may decide who is to te the democrat tic candidate for the long term as United States senator from this state.
 While early returns from yesterdays. S. primary seemed to point to an easy victory for George ". La Monte of Bound Brook, former state banking commissioner, his lead began to dis appear when the figures became more nearly complete. Friends of Charles who had mo opposition for the short term nomination, promptly claimed complete returns would show him the winner
 Tonight Frank McDermit and Alex ander Simpson the other candidates, also asserted that they were by no means convinced they had been de- feated. Each claimed the result still was in doubt and would not be de- termined until the soldier vote had been counted, as well as that in the most remote districts in the state.
 Simpson carried Hudson county by about 5000, and his managers con- tended this would virtually wipe out the apparent lead of La Monte and Hennessy.
 It is estimated there are about 5000 New Jersey soldiers in camps throughout New Jersey who were eli gible to vote in the primaries. Special commissioners were delegates to take the vote of these men and they have thirty days in which to make returns.
 La Monte supporters claim the nom ination for him by plurality between 300 and 1 GOO. Hennessv, however, carried Bergen. Essex and Union coun- ties, besides polling a heavy vote in scattering districts throughout the state

BULGARIANS RETRIEVING ON
 A FRONT OF 13O MILES

London. Sept. 25.-The whole of the Monastir- -Prilep- -Gradsko road con meeting up the two Bulgarian armies is now in the hands of the allies, ac- cording to news received here late to- night. The allied cavalry is within
 ten miles of the second line extending between Veles Ishtib and Prilep
 The enemy is fighting hard to obtain
 possession Of this road and also in the
 sector west of Prilep, and it seems to be a race for Uskub. as the allied
 forces are as near to the city as the Bulgarians.
 The allies now are in possession of the whole course of the Vardar river from GievgeH to Gradsko. Tonight's reports say that the Serbians have i taken thirty guns in addition to those already reported.
 | The Bulgarians now are retreating on a total front estimated at about 130 miles, the second Bulgarian army
 under General Feodoroff, being in re- l treat before the British and Greeks on front extending from the Vardar to | the Struma. A British invasion of Bulgaria seems likely, and the Bull garians are reported to be fortifying 1 the old road from Fobrovo to Stru
 mitsa, which the British cavalry is ap- | preaching.

LOOKS LIKE CONFIRMATION
 OF DlSCoNTENT IN GERMANY

Washington, Sept 25.-There was just one thing in Chancellor Von Hert- Eng's speech before the main com mittee of the reichstag yesterday that interested American officials It was his frank and open. admission of the seriousness of the internal situation in Germany
 Following so closely upon the for nal declaration by the social demo- crats of, the conditions upon which their party would consent to partici- pate in the government, the speech was regarded as intended primarily for internal consumption in Germany. It is regarded as part of a plan to persuade the Socialists to come to the aid of the government m its grave straits by demonstrating that there are no substantial differences of prir- ciple between their party and the gov ernment. The marked similarity be- tween the statements made by Von Hertllng regarding the basis of peace and those principles laid down by the socialists at once was Roticed When attention was directed to Won Hertlings statement that he had had no response from the United States to his proposal last February to accept in principle the conditions of peace I laid down by President Wilscn, off, cials pointed out that the president himself had effectually exposed the l insincerity of Von Hertling's proposal when, in his Baltimore speech, he pointed to the crime against Russia as a sufficient reason for rejecting any offer to discuss peace 'Brest-Litovsk fashion"
 turtnermore, it was declared that | there could be no talk of peace until l the last German and Austrian soldier | has been withdrawn or driven from the occupied territory.
 The inclination of the government to regard the speech as insincere and
 unworthy of consideration is based
 apon the feeling that in scarcely a
 single point does the premier make an
 unqualified declaration of adherence tc the fourteen principles laid down by
 President Wilson. Everywhere in his
 speech officials said there were limita.
 tions and qualifications.
 Official Washington noticed the ad-
 mission of the deep discomfort exist ing among great masses of the Ger man people. Through neutra. coun-
 tries have come reports of disorgani-
 zation. mutiny, rioting and despera-
 ton in Germany, but it remained for the German chancellor himself to ado
 the official confirmation which was wanted.

SENATE TO VOTE CN
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE TODAY

Washington, Sept. 25.-Outcome of the vote in the senate on woman surage apparently was in greater doubt tonight than has been any ac- tion by congress in many years.
 The only point on which the advo- cates and opponents were agreed was that the house resolution proposing submission to the states of the Susan E. Anthony amendment to the federal constitution would be called up when the senate convenes tomorrow Both
 sides expressed .he gTeate conf dence in the result, but it was not certain vote would be reached be- fore adjournment. although Senator Jones of New Mexico, chairman of the senate woman suffrage committee, and other suffrage leaders were de- termined tonight to hold the resolu- ton before the senate until final dis position.
 Final arrangements for tomorrow S contest were made today with nego- | tiations for pairing of absent senators and campaigning by both factions. Wome nthron2ed the senate office building, making their final drive in the fight Most of the personal so- iicitation was made by members of 1 the suffrage organization The oppo- l sition, however, was not inactive. Preparations have been made for handling a capacity crowd in the sen 1 ate galleries. Displaying of banners
 and other demonstrations in the sen
 ate galleries. it was announced, will 1 be prohibited.
 In anticipation of a vote, many sen
 ators who have been out of town ar
 rived today, and more are due tomor-
 row, some on late trains, which may
 hold off the roll call. Only a few
 speeches are planned by senators ia
 voring the resolution, but plans of tbe | opponents were not announced.
