R. SMITH VOLUNTEERS TO
ESCORT CHILDREN ACROSS
THE RAlLRoD TRACKS

Observing the risk of the little child
rem who have to cross the railrod
tracks from the south side to their
school on the north side of the rail-
road, r. Smith, of the Smith dry goods
store, opposite the depot, has inter,
ested himself in their case and from
the experience gained SO far has de-
yolyed afplan for taking care of them,
which should relieve anxious moth
ers of some worry.
Mr.. Smith requests the Journal to
announce to the parents of the little
ones on the south side that if they
will send them to his store he will
personally see them safely across the
tracks and on their way to school.
His interest in the little tots forced
him to keep an eye on them for their
safety anyhow, and so he believes it
will be just as we'll for him to do the
thing systematically. If the little
folks will come to his store he can
take number of them over at time,
and knowing that the children will be
looked after will relieve the mothers
of some anxiety which they naturally
feel for the little tot not experienced
in the ways of traffic.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE. SoET. CLEAF

WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR.
Make This Beauty Lotion for Few
Gents and See for Yourself
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain thrugh fine cloth
the Juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake we'll and
you have a 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 to the face, neck
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin
Any druggist will supply three ounc-
es of orchard white at very little cost
and the grocer has the lemons. 50.
