I* WOMENI IT'S CHEAP! |
USE LEMON JUIOE TO |
MAKE BEAUTY LOTION J

x 5!

■
In all weathers the skin and com
plexion can be kept wonderfully
clear, soft and white by the use of
this inexpensive lemon lotion which
any girl or woman can easily pre
pare.
The juice of two fresh lemons
Btralned 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 lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re
move such blemishes ar freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon' lotion. It natur
ally should help to soften, freshen,
bleach and bring out the roses and
hidden beauty of any skin. Those
who will make It a habit to gently
massage this lotion Into the face,
reck, arms and hands once or twice
daily may be repaid with a skin that
Is flexible-and young iooking and a
peach-like complexion.—Adv.
GETNEWKIDNEYS!
Tile kidneys are the most overwork
ed organs of the human body, and
when they fail in their work of filter
ing out and throwing off the poisons
developed in the system, things begin
to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back;
highly colored urine; loss of appetite;
indigestion; irritation, or even stone
In the bladder. These symptoms indi
cate a condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal malady, Bright's
disease, for which there is said to be
no cure.
You can almost certainly find imme
diate relief in GOL,r> MEDAL Haarlem
Oil Capsules. For more than 200 vears
this famous preparation has been an
unfailing remedy for nil kidney, blad
der and urinary troubles. Get it at
anydrug store, and if it does not give
you almost immediate relief, your
money will he refunded. Be sure vou
get the GOLD MEDAL, brand. None
other genuine. In boxes, three sizes.

FRENCH BEAR BRUNT
OF A NEW ATTACK
[Continued Front First rage.]
scene of some of the heaviest fight
ing of the day, the Australians and
English charging along this line
sweeping over large number of Ger
mans lying In shell holes who were
overlooked In the semldarkness. Im
mediately after the British troops
had gone beyond these holes the Ger
mans began sniping at the rear of
the advancing forces. These snipers
were eventually dealt w'th and the
shell holes cleared. Th( morale of
the German troops in this section is
said to prove good and tl ey made a
stiff fight for the positions which
they finally had to relinquish.
In the ruined village of Hollebecke
the British were faced with large
numbers of concrete dugouts which
had no surface entrances but which
were approached by tunnels. The
attacking troops forced their way
into these strongholds, which con
tained large numbers of men, and
blew them to pieces with bombs.
This underground tunnel Is still
filled with German bodies. Just
north of Hollebecke two strongly
held German positions were occupied
without a stop. On the ground over
looking Wytschaete the British en
countered shell holes, camouflaged
with wire netting and hedges which
had been Interlaced with barbed wire.
This delayed their progress some
what, but did not save the Germans.
Fierce fighting occurred here and the
Australians who were conducting the
offensive carried the positions with
bayonets, killing latge numbers of
the enemy.
One notable incident of the day's
fighting occurred on the Warneton-
Gapard farm road at a windwill on
a slight elevation. This place pre
viously had been bitterly contest>rd
because it overlooks the surrounding
country, which is very flat. Aus
tralians took t!|e place in the early
morning, but the Germans regained
It the same night. At midnight the
Australians charged the position with
bayonets and ejected the Germans
after sanguinary fighting. La Bas
seeville was also the scene of severe
fighting, and here, as at Hollebecke,
were found concrete dugouts which
are now filled with their dead de
fenders, who were bombed.
ONE IS DROWNED
WHEN BOAT UPSETS
[Continued From First Page.]
When about hall way across the
river water oetan coming in over the
e-urwales. In a few minutes the
boat filled and began to sink. All of
the men could swim with the ex
ception of the negro, who shouted
a few times fcr help and then sank
from sipht.
Rescuers say the men upset the
boat In attempting to move. The
men in the water were unable to
help the negro. All of them were
fully clothed ond did not even at
tempt to remove their heavy coats.
Shouted Many Times
They say they shouted for help
dozens of times, but onlookers either
believed they were fooling or did
nol want to give any assistance. Roy
Borry was taken from the water ex
hausted and hurried to the hospital.
The other 3 reached shore unaided.
The drowned man continued strug
gling until he reched the Cumber
land Valley bridge, where he sank.
A guardsman saw him disappear and
showed Gibbons wnere he thought
the body was. It is said that Sanders
has relatives In the city, but at a
late hour no one had turned up who
knew him.
Body ITnrecovered
The body of Fred Moore, who
drowned yesterday afternoon, had
not been recovered at a late hour
to-day. Moore, who lived at 612
Market street, was attempting to
swim from the island to this shore
when the storm, struck him. He was
unable to buffet the waves and cried
for help when near shore.
Eye-witnesses say that a canoe
with two occupants, although within
a few feet of him. hurried on to the
shore, fearing lest their own craft
sink in the waves. ChArles Reedy,
who was swimming near by, was un
able to give him any assistance.
Moore sank before help could reach
him. He is not known to have had
any relatives except a sister In Bal
timore.
