Lemons Makes Skin
White, Soft, Gtear
MAKE THIS BEAUTY LOTION
FOR A FEW CENTS 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, there irritating,
and should be mixed with or-
chard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle
containing about three ounces
of orchard white, than shake
well and you have a whole quart-
er pint of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one
usually pays lor 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 applied
daily to the face, neck, arms a ad
hands it should help to bleach,
clear, smoothen and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supyly three
ounces of orchare white at
very little cost and the grocer
has the lemons.

HOW TO SECURE A
LIBERTY BOND.
You are satisfied that it is
your duty to yourself and your
Country to buy a Liberty Bond.
Now you want to know just how
to secure one.
Go to any Bank, sign the ap-
plication form for the bond of
the value desired. The Bonds
are of the following values;
$50, $100, $500, $1000, $5000,
and $10,00.
Your Banker will take your
cheque for 2% of the amount of
the bond you decidfl to purchase.
The remaining payments will be
made as follows:
18 per cent on Nov. 15th. 1917.
40 per cent on Dec, 15th, 1917.
40 per cent on January 15th 1918.
Vou can pay in full at the time
of application for any bond up to
the value of $1000, if you wish.
If you care to pay for your
bond in full at the time of aplica-
tion, you can have j our bond by
about October 10th. If you pay
by installments you will receive
your bond as soon as you have
finished paying for it.
The bonds are free from Feder-
al, State, or Local taxes. In
case of wealthy people who pay
income surtaxes, and hold bonds
of over $5000, there is a small
tax, but as far as the average
man is concerned they are tax
free.
Any Banker will handle your
application and charge you noth-
ing for the trouble.
The interest on the bonds is
4% payable to you oil May 15th
and November 15th of each year.
The Bonds will be redeemed
in full by the Government on and
after November 15 th, 19^7.
During the meantime the bon,;>
may pass from one.person to an-
other just as a dollar bill does.
There is very little difference
between giving your cheque for
a $500, bill and giving it for a
Liberty Bond.
