Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one would pay for a
small jar. of the ordinary cold cream.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth SO
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sa1lowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. It should ma
turally help to whiten, soften, freshen,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. It is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and
any grocer will supply the lemons. 1t

Rich Ground

century or more, and maybe even
longer than that, the large lot on Lam

owner to a Mr.. Kidwell, who has a
force now plowing it up, and will soon
have it set out in tobacco. The ground
is pronounced wonderfully rich, by
those who have seen it, and a big
crop of extra fine weed should be
grown on it. There are several acres
in the tract, and if tobacco stays up
as high as the past two seasons, the
crop it produces is going to worth
something, and then some.

Allies Seem Working On
Industrial Reconstruction
(By Associated PressY

Washington, March 20-Tmposition
by the French government Of an inn
ports embargo similar to the British
leads government officials here to be-
heve that the allies. have completed
plans for industrial reconstruction and
are now. putting them into effect. This
apparently means they will purchase
basic materials in the United States
but there will be no market in the
allied countries overseas for manufac-
tured materials. This, however, will
necessarily curtail foreign competi:-
tion in American fields in order to en-
able the allies to take care of their
home demands.

The BolsheviH apparently are max
ing a strong effort to subdue Russian
opposition in Ukraine and drive the
allies from that region before spring.
The Ukrain is the granary of Rus
sia and Odessa, before the war was
the greatest grain shipping port in
Russia. If the Bo1sheviki can control
the great agricultural region of the
Ukraine, they might be able to relieve
the serious food shortage in Moscow
and the north. Meanwhile the Boil
sheviki have occupied Kiev in the
centerso of the Ukraine and have driv-
en- Gen. Petlura's peasant government
to Proskurov, 40 miles east of the
Galacian border. In the Odessa re-
gion and near Riga, the Bolsheviki
have apparently suffered reversal.

direct hit by the Germans nearly put
the crew / was with out of business,
there being only one or two of us left;
however, with extra men that could
be spared from other crews, we con-
tinued firing the piece during the rest
of the fight. Another incident in
conection with this advance at St.
Mihiel, which 1 recall, was the sad
fate of friend of mine, who togeth-
er with myself, was trying to conserve
emergency food rations. So in stop
ing to get a dead Americans ration
1 remarked that it was rather bad to
be eating a dead mans rations, to
which my friend replied never mind
in an hours time somebody will be
eating ours and it wasn't but short
time until this comrade was killed
sure enough.
"After the St. Mihiel drive, we had
rest in a replacement camp, and
then went forward in The Champagne
drive. This was hard work for the
artillery advancing against heavy ar
tillery and machine gun fire. We were
taken off this front, however, and sent
upon the Argonne front by forced
march. We were pretty tired by this
time, but kept on going with our field
pieces, sometimes we had only two
horses to piece, sometimes four,
when we were supposed to have six.
And we were advancing thru noun
tains about like Estill county.
"When the Germans We're retreat
ing thru Argonne, they, of course, de-
stroyed everything they could, and
since we were going fast and over
rough country, our supply train
couldn't keep up. We were according
ly reduced to eating steaks from artil-
lery horses killed in action. At the
same time we were unable to get
drinking water, which was still worse,
and when we could go no longer, we
drank some water that we knew had
been poisoned by the Germans. Our
Captain had tested this water and
found it bad, and wounded German
had refused to drink it, but we had
gone as long as we could and the
Captain and all drank it, and it made
US deathly sick. Our supply train
came up just in time to take all 35 of
US back to the hospital.
"In the Argonne retreat of the
Germans, had every opportunity to
witness incidents of their cruelty. My
job was primarily to give first aid to
the wounded. During this last drive
up thru the Argonne and to Sedan, 1
attended more wounded men, women
and children of the civilian popular
ton, than I did wounded soldiers. On
the day before the capture of Sedan,
the Germans sent over toward the
Americans advancing, the civilian
population of thes town, and when they
had gotten out in good range for their
ARTILLERY they opened fire killing many
wounding women and children by the
hundreds. Another mean trick they
did at Sedan, was to burn lot of
food supplies, at a time. when the ci-
william population was starving.
81 left the Sedan front on Novem-
ber 9Th, the day before our division
entered the town. After that was
in the hospital and convalescent camp
until was booked for home in Feb
ruary, 1919"

heartiest sort of greeting and well
come home by his host of friends. He
tells an interesting story of his exper-
;ssss talking for the Daily Regis
terry Isl said:
81 have been asked to give the
Daily Register my experience while
on the front, but if were to do so in
full it would take a month; however,
1 am glad to give. kind of rr~,me of
the work done by the 18th Field Ar
tillery regiment of the Second ,Divi-
sion, which regiment I was in from
the time we were put in the trenches
>,5n the Verdun sector in March, 1918,
iRNovember 9Th, three days before
Armistice.
I'VE stayed on the Verdm sector
until the latter part of May, 1918,
when we boarded trains for the SOM
me front While travelling by train
to this front, word came that the Ger
mans were breaking thru at Chateau
Thierry toward Paris. Our division
was at once taken off the trains and
rushed by motor truck and forced hike
to the Chateau Thierry front. The
marines, artillery and infantry went
into battle there about June 1st. The
French at that time had lost heart
and were fast falling back. They told
our troops that it was no use, that
they had better fall back, too, but the
marines and all stuck their, ground,
and held it without the loss of an inch
during concentrated artillery and
machine gun fire for about two days,
German began falling back slowly,
fighting hard to save their artillery
which had been massed for this drive
on Paris. The fighting lasted until
the 18th of July. I was wounded on
June 17th, by piece of shell in the
shoulder. Another piece of the same
shell took off part of my medical
case which I wore attached to belt
without injuring me in any way.
"This was the hardest fight that the
Second Division was in. They were,
however, in all four of the later major
drives made by the Americans, viz,
Scissors, st. Mihiel, Mont Blanc and
Argonne- -Meuse. / missed the Sois-
sons drive on account of wound re-
ceived at Chateau Thierry.
"There are many incidents in con-
nection with any one of these drives
that 1 will not soon forget. In the
st. Mihiel fight for instance, which
was really walk-over for the Amer
leans, our regiment arrived there on
the night of the 11th, and waited in
the rain until they went over the toI
next morning at five o'clock. There
were not so many caualties in oul
regiment in this fight, however, my
{battery happened to be an exception
Our batteries advanced with the In
fantry and set up for action SO close
that we could see the German artil
leryman loading their guns and ths
firing was accordingly point blank. 4
