Mrs. J. A. Cox, ol Al-
derson, W. Va., writes:
"My daughter . . . suf-
fered terribly. She could
not turn in bed ... the
doctors gave her up, and
we brought her home to
die. She had suffered so

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
IS A SKIN WHITENER
How to make a creamy beauty lotion
for a few cent*.
The juice of two fresh lemon* strained
Into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the mqst remarkable lemon skin
heautifier at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should lie taken to strain
the lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresli for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Oet three ounces .of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragTant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and handa.
If you have been thinking of
buying a Singer sewing machine
It will be wise to do so ^ once,
As I am expecting thorn to ad

been instituted for possession of
the holdings. The cases are

come visitor from Mexico.

who bought Mr. Phillips’ crop,
was a very blue human Monday
after the night’s electrical storm.
He rose bright and early and
went out to view his purchase.
In about an hour he returned
and went on to the shop. By-
standers noticed that he looked
very sad, and finally one of them
asked him who was dead. He
replied in voice that was a cross
between a groan and a sigh, that
the lightning had struck some
ot his cotton and killed it. Some
of the men went out to look at
the electrocuted cotton; and, lo,
and behold, it was only some
that had died on account of alka-
li in the soil. He took the joke
good naturedly, and replied that
he didn’t "know it all” about
farming._

He celebrated by getting drunk

'Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
porous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick-
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straight-
ens you right up and you ieel great.
Give it to the ■shildren because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn’t gripe.
