Cents and Sec for Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
Of lemon juice to remove complexion
blcmishCS; 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, ana should be mixed with orch
ard white this way: Strain through
fine cloth the juice Of two fresh
lemons into a 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 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 10 tho 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 little
cost. and the grocer has the lemons.

Editor keowce Courier:
| know that you and your readers
want to know how we came through
the big push, so will write you
few lines and tell you as much as |
| can.
| We were in the battle from the
23d Of September until October 2l,
and, believe me, it was some fight.
| We travelled through about thirty
miles Of the territory through which
| the enemy had gone in his big drive
in March, and there is not n single
| house left standing. | did not see
civilian for about three weeks.
! When we arrived at the front lines
everything was ready, and our drive
started the next day-and our divi-
sion holds the honor Of having made
the longest drive Of any division dur
| ing the whole war.
| was very lucky not to get hurt.
One night we had our Kitchen very
close up to the front. There we're
six Of us. and we were all sleeping
in small tent. About 4 O'Clock in
the morning a shell fell within about
ten feet Of us. We had two men
killed and one wounded. The other
three Of us got only little dirt Oil
us. One Of the poor boys with me
happened to be from Walhalla, and
he had been cooking for the past
year. We sure miss him, and we SYM
pathize with his people back home
| lie was one Of our best boys, and he
save his life nobly for his company
and for his country.
Bishop Grant and Sam Pitchiord
were only slightly hurt and are conf

Ronnie Abbott, Joe Moody and Lee

We arc now out on a rest, and It

And this is the first time we have had
this pleasure since we landed in

! Well, guess winter is about with

through the Hindenburg lines, and

Give my best regards to everybody
in Walhalla; and as "Pap" has deci-
