Face Bleaches.

There are several simple formulas
which will bleach the skin and which
will cure or prevent the lighter forms
| of sunburn or freckles. One of them
| is made as follows: Lemon or citric
| acid, 3 drams; borax, 2 drains; 10
| ounces of clear water. Heat the wa
| ter until quite hot, dissolve the acid
| nd horax in it and add one ounce of
red rose petals. Pour this through a
small clean bag, like a jelly bag, and
| let 1t drip for "a hours. Take the
clear part that has dripped off and
add ounces of glycerin, the best quail
ty you can get
Glycerin plays large part In skin
bleaches An excellent lotion and one
very easy to make is equal parts of
glvcerin, witch hazel and fresh per-
oxide of hydrogen. This should be
kept in a brown or blue bottle, since
light spoils peroxide, and should also
be kept tightly corked, as air has the
same effect. This can be rubbed into
the skin at nighttime and allowed to
stay on till morning.
Another simple lotion for the light
sunburn and freckles that come early
In the Summer is made by dissolving
one dram of white sugar in 2 ounces
of clear lemon Juice and adding half
dram Of powdered borax. The longer
this stands, up to a week, the better
1t will be when you are ready to use
1t. Most skin astringents are bleach
ing, since most of them contain ben
zoin, glycerin, vinegar, white of egg,
zinc and such things in their various
combinations, but 1t is little use try
ing any of these on skin that is sal
low or discolored from internal condi-
tions. A good skin goes with body
that is healthy inside.

for the company, commenting in the
petition on the reasoning Of the court
in reaching it's decision say: 'It is
earnestly believed that the decision
of the court is contrary TO what has
become settled law and that the court
stands in serious risk OF planting the
law of this jurisdiction firmly and
unchaEgeably upon wrong basis in
a subject Of considerable Importance.
No reflection on the court is implied
in this statement. The decision
rendered in this case. with all due
respect, amounts TO guess at the
law upon matter that has actually
been settled to the contrary, though
unknown to the court
The Judgment was vacated and
new trial granted because the trial
justice declined to require John Rich
mond, the original holder Of the note
involved in the suit, to tell what figure
he received when he assigned the
note to Hannibal DeMesa from whom
the plaintiff company obtained the
note. Counsel claim there was no
need for the trial court to require
the answer because there may we'll
be legal and iustifable reason for sell
ing a note Of that size for an amount
