Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freck1es. sallowness and
tan, and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
just try it! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face.
neck, arms and hands. It should
naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen, and bring out the hidden
roses and beauty of any skin. 1t 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

The Puritan Reaction
To Current PZuvs

prostitution of the noble dramatic art
by commercialism
Certainly Puritanism did not make
our fathers great dramatists or orr
mothers good actors. Nobody should
yield an inch to any Puritan PASTORS
"ish TO regulate the drama. The bed
room farce in its present form might
never be missed, but we would NOT
want to see Fair and Warmer" or
baby Mine" share in the Punishment
AS matter of fact, both these plavs
were as immoral as many now under
attack, but they had the saving grace
OF cleverness. And the preachers
would not be content after the frisky
1arces had been censored out of exist
ence. They would find just as much
70 complain of in some of the most
noteworthy drama of the last genera
ton. They did. The Puritans ragged
against "Ghosts" and "a Dolls House"
They took court action against
Mrs. Warren's Profession" and threw
up their hands in horror at "The Show
ing Up of Blanco Posnet" and "Andro
cies and the Lion,' because they held
that they were sacreligious. In fact
we think that practically every first
rate play written in the last twenty five
years would be Objectionable to the
Puritan. 1t must be remembered that
the thoroughgoing Puritan, who is held
up to our admiration by Or. Straton.
must needs be shocked by anything
great in the theatre because he was
constantly being shocked by life. That
was inevitable since he believed that
mankind was essentially wicked to the |
point of being saved from damnation
only by the miraculous intervention of
God. Therefore, anything which dealt
with life as it is must needs be i'm
moral.
We have no great sympathy with the
cry for a clean stage. For our part we
would rather see little more dirt and
CRIME and sweat in our plays of to-day.
IL choice must be made between Ii
cense in the theatre and Puritanical re-
preston we say bring on the beds in
battalions.

Ignoring the Danger Signal

n ABROAD a rule, particularly those connect
II ed with the operation of trains taught to take
no chances, and to observe all danger signals
We believe there disposition the part of the
leaders of this class this time past dan
ger signal The president has put out warning ag and
il it is not needed there is danger ahead The govern
ment during it's operation of the railroads has accorded
shorter hours and pay the railroad workers of the
country, and whole they now better paid than
many other classes of labor In the government employ
now postoce clerks and railway mail clerks not near
ly so well paid.
The plea on which the railroad workers base their claim
for higher wages is the high of living Just the
government making effort to reduce the cost OF v
ing strike the railroads would greatly increase the
cost of living because it would stop production.
1t would do than stop production it would in the
great cities death to many who are entirely depen
dent upon food brought from the country would take
the milk bottle away from the babies of the cities
would be an attempt to create reign of terror.
The people of this country in mood to tolerate
any such leaders The fought against the rule
of despotc terrorsts Those who would seek to rueto
gain their own selfish endsby threatening the lives OF
babes and helpless children, will find that this country
is no place for them
If there ever a time for railroad men to observe
the slow board and the danger signal is right now
vote on the strike being TAKEN and while the clouds are
dark we still hope they will be cleared away by the men
voting to stay the job.

State Versus National Law

ROM criticisms have in some Of the papers,
it does not appear that the legislature clarified the
time situation in Georgia to great extent when they
passed the law to put the whole state under time
In conflict with national laws state laws usually are
not regarded and it is probable that the railroads win
continue to operate under national time laws Congress
has repealed the daylight saving law and when it becomes
effective and we revert the prewar schedule of time
keeping any effort obey the recent state law in those
portions of the state conflicting will only create further
confusion of time.
Hon. w. A. Covngton, of Moultrie called attention to
this feature of the when the state law up in
the legislature but sometimes majority of that body re-
fuses to consider anything but themselves seriously
The sun makes the day, and the ea-ths shadow the
night and all man made laws cannot delay or advance
the coming or going of either by the fraction of second
We do not believe all the change of the time laws has
changed the habit of the farmer who always has used
all the daylight that God him. While the politicians
have heraded their time laws in the interest OF the
farmer the farmers themselves have cared very little
about it.

Stumbling Blocks

IA VERY progressive movement in the history of man
T. has had opposition from number of sources which
had to be cleared away before the wheels Of
to turn smoothly.
Every invention that has been of great value to man has
had to stout resistance from source or an
other before it could give its benefits the people Any
labor saving invention that dsplaces many workersany
machine that will do the work of dozen will have
the opposition of that dozen
An invention that dspaces any large amount Of ma
chinery will be opposed by the of that machinery
and sometimes this opposition is successful for time
at least
great many people believe today, that the present
square bale method of packing cotton s only retained in
use because of the amount of compress and gin
chinery already existing in this country adopted only to
the handling of the square bale In theory at least the
roundap bale fully per cent better for packing and
handling cotton
Another of opposition progress is ignorance
preudiceusually found together and another
is greed-usually found in the who finds it in his
power to delay work Of benefit to the community, and
wishes to be "bought of"
When we consider these truths it not strange that
organizers of drainage districts often find opposition to
work which will be wholly beneficial, both to individuals
and the community large and it is with this in mind
that write these lines in the hope Of encouraging those
progressive spirits who public benefactors and may
be truly called "the salt Of the earth"
Few drainage districts nave been organized where some
man. who owned large of the district, has not
acted "dog in the manger toward the project He
may be of the ignorant and preudiced type who is OPP
