FLemons Do Whiten! i
; Try This on Face, I
Neck, Arms, Hands j
The lemon juice massage indulged
j in once or twice each day means a
little time and trouble, girls, but
I what of the splenrtid results? A,
skin bleached beautifully white, a
complexion with the bloom of a
peach, a softening of those lines of
care; in fact, a skin eloquent of
nature's purity and hands white,
soft and full of charm.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and
to bring out the roses, the fresh
ness and the hidden beauty? But
lemon juice alone is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way. Strain
through a line cloth the juice of two
fresh lemons Into a bottle contain
ing about three ounces of orchard
white, then shake well and you have
a whole quarter pint of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost
cne usually pays for a 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 massaged daily Into
the face, neck, arms and hands it
j should . naturally help to whiten,
I clear, smoothen and beautify the
; skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at a very
liitle cost and the grocer has the
lemons. —Adv.

HOTEL DIRECTORS
GO OVER BIDS
Local Difficulty to Obtain Sat
isfactory Bids Owing to
Unusual Conditions
For several hours, yesterday after
noon the. directors of the Ilarrisburg
Hotel Company canvassed the esti
mates of contractors and subcontrac
tors on the new Penn-Harris Hotel.
W. Li. Stoddart and Mr. Esenwein, of
the firm of Esenwein and Johnson, the
collaborating architects, were present
with Frank A. Dudley, the president,
and Mr. Carrigan, one of the directors
of the United Hotels Company, which
will manage the big hotel.
Owing to unusual conditions of the
material market and the general de
moralization of the building trades,
growing out of the increased cost of
steel and other necessary materials,
plus the rising cost of labor, it has been
difficult to obtain satisfactory bids.
However, the figures were iiiorougii
ly discussed and all proposals were
subsequently referred to the architects
for consideration and recommendation
to a meeting of the hotel directors,
which will be called as soon as pos
sible.
President Wallowerfl of the hotel
company, stated to-cay that every
thing possible is bein? done to facili
tate the preliminary work so that the j
construction of the hotel now so serl- >
ously needed can proceed. Many ele
ments entered Into the problem, in- I
eluding the fre:gnt embargoes, the
I probably commandeering of steel ]
! plants by the Government, and other
I factors.
