 Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces oi orchard white makes a whole quarter pintsof the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must epay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams.

 will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as frecSles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it, Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a .fuuarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck arms and hands. It nat uralIy should help to soften. freshen, bleach and bring our the roses and beauty of any skin. It is simply mar vicious to smoother rough, red hands.

diers. and for this reason we are so- anxious to stimulate the work among our young people.
 "Lieutenant Reed and myself" Cap- tain Bouterse said, 'are visiting daily
 the homes of people in this city trying
 to get recruits for our Sunday school, new pupils who will put their hearts
 and souls into the work
 Not less interesting is the story of
 Lieutenant Reed, whose bright, happy face, with her ruddy, peach-b1ow skin, i bright, laughing eyes and joyous na- ture. made her an ideal soldier in the great work of the Salvation Army. 'I was not brought up in Salva- ton Army home like Captain Bouterse," Lieutenant Reed told me in speaking of her affiIiation with the Army. Few have been situated like Captain Bou- terse I have only been in the Army four years; it was in Columbus, MISS, that I became interested in the Salva- tion Army I stopped one afternoon on the corner. I stopped and listened to singing and the prayers and the words
 so sweetly spoken; later I went into the meeting and was so impressed with the service that I joined the Army just as one would join the church.
 "A short time afterward I went into training" Lieutenant Reed said, and this is my second appointment. My first was in New Orleans, where was as- sistant to Staff Captain Coe; Birming- ham people had the pleasure of hearing Captain Goes husband last spring tell of his experiences in France; he went over in the early part of the war and was there IS months. His wife as- sumed charge of the Salvation Army work in New Orleans while he, was over there.' Staff Captain Coe and my self worked not only among the poor in New Orleans but also in the naval stations around New Orleans; there were three of these stations where we, conducted our work.
 "Birmingham offers great field for the Salvation Army" Lieutenant Reed | safd "and when Captain Bouterse and I met here only a short time ago (we, had never seen each other before and both of us wondered what the other. 1 would be like) we realized that it was | a big work before us and we were both, glad that we were young, and buoyant, and ready for the task and it has been | a great joy to us to work out the S1tua- 1 tion together"
 The little tinkliDg bells, the little
 musical tambourines, Commander Evan geline Booth tells us, will be discarded
 by the Salvation Army in the near fp- l ture and more conservative methe' employed when the great $10,000,f drive will be inaugurated and manys us are wondering whether or not WI | like it; somehow the tambourine goA with the bright-eyed lassies. the blua bonneted lassies, the sweet-natured las
 sies of the Salvation Army-but wheth !
 CT or not the little tinkly bells or the little musical tambourines are heard, matters very little when the heart and | the soul shines out from the eyes of l the heart, and the sweet message of love and Christ crucifed comes from
 the lips of courageous soldier -lassies,

 valiant young lieutenant. Mathilda Reedi

S7 N the ranks of the Salvation Army
 changes are constantly taking place. S just as they are in the regular army, promotions, new work, different fields, and so onto Birmingham has come recently two splendid young sol diers in the Salvation Army. one with the rank of captain and the other as a lieutenant.
 These young women are Capt Pauline Bouterse, who is in charge of the reli- gious work of the Salvation Army. and she is ably assisted by Lieut.. Mathilda Reed.
 Before I tell you about these two young salvationists Qor each is under 24 years of age), want to bring to your attention a tribute which was paid to the work of the Salvation Army during the terri fic summer of 1918 when the fighting 'overthere" was at it's height and when the Salvation Army lassies braved dan gers of every description and placed their lives at the disposal of the sol- diers who were spectacularly playing with death every moment of their lives.
 The words are from my friend, Irwin s. Cobb, and you may have read them but they are worth reading again, so I gave them as a little preface" to my story of the two Salvation Army sol diers, Captain Bourterse and Lieutenant Reed, and also to bring before the pub- lie the fact that if the Salvation Army did the great work "overthereH during the WAY how much more good the Army does over here" every day and night in the year, never ceasng, always striv- ing, always winning souls to Christ!
 Among other things N1r Cobb says;
 Right here seems a good-enough place for me to slip in a few words of appro- bation for the work which another or ganization has accomplished in France since we put our men into the field. Nobody asked me 10 speak in it's favo- because so far as l can find out it has no publicity department. l am referring to the Salvation AIrly-may it live for ever for the service which, without price and without any boosting on the part of it's personnel, it is rendering to our boys in France.
 "A good many of us who hadn't enough religion, and good many more of uS who, mayhap, had too much religion look rather contemptuously upon the methods of the Saivationists Some have gone so far as to intimate that the Sal vation Army was vulgar in it's methods and lacking in dignity and even in rever- ence. Some have intimated that convert ing a sinner to the tap of a bass drum or the tinkle of tambourine was an iIn- proper process altogether. Never asalh' tbough. shaT hear the blare of the coz net as it cuts into the chorus of halle luiah whoops, where a ring of blue bonneted women and blue-capped men stand exhorting on q city street corner under the gas lights. without recalling what some of their enrolled brethren

 1 Beautifully illustrated and simply but l effectively told. Stokes Wonder Book of
 the Bible.' by Florence Choate and Eliza ] beth Curtis, covers the entire Bible, the l fascinating manner. Clearly and simply ginning 6f things, when God created the world, down through the ages to the ! time when the marvels of the New Je-
 rusaem were revealed to St. John and i recorded by him in Revelations. 1 How two spies cleverly escaped and i saved an army from destruction; how a king fearing defeat, disguised himself and went by night to witch's cave to 1 seek advice; how one man stole great ] treasure and buried it beneath his tent. 1 and what happened to him-these tales are no less interesting than those better known and loved of Noah, Jonah, Solo" mon, David. Then, too, there are tHe beautiful and inspiring incidents of the New Testament.

Started by Won Bernstorff and his aids as a means of spreading Teuton propa- ganda over the country, it soon became a network of intrigue affecting our whole national life. When the Germans realized that they would not dissuade us from shipping munitions to the allies, they tried to terrori2e us by blowing up in
 dustrial plants, wrecking railroad bridges. sinking ships and murdering our citi- zens. Through the courtesy of the de- partment of justice MT. Strother has been able to verify the facts and docu- ments in some of the most dramatic cases that have been brought to light.
