a lemon a day. In this fruit
Nature has provided not only a de
lightful flavoring agent and garnish,
but a real toilet aid as well.
Lemon juice, clear or diluted with
pure water, is an excellent bleach ior
those whose skin easily freckles or
tans. It is also valuable for manicur
ing, as it removes stains from the
fingers and nails.
Lemon juice as a hair rinse is
especially valuable for those who have
oily hair. It cuts the curd often
formed by the use of soap, and leaves
the hair soft, clean and fluffy after
the shampoo. Many professional
beauty parlors use a lemon rinse with
every shampoo.
I-emon juice is good also as an
occasional dentifrice. It is an excel
lent astringent for flabby necks and
checks, and is said to be much used
In the tropics in foot baths, to relieve
swollen, tired feet
I .astir, the internal benefits o\
lemon juice should not be forgotten.
Lemon Juice in water, without sugar,
is an excdlent Sasic to take upon first

SAYS SNAPPERS
DESTROYCOTTON
A new pest known as “Snappers”
are doing much damage to the cot
ton crop according to many of our
planters.
These iniccts are just a litle larg
er than ante and jump about as
“jack snappers” living on the
squares and young bolls of cotton.
Mr. W. H. Powell, prominent cot
ton factor of this city, says that he
v een working with them on
three different cotton patches ancl
that unless stopped they will to
tally destroy the stalks. Mr. Powell
also stated that he had found from
actual experience that poison would
kill them.
While most of the better fanners
of Gwinnett county have poison on
hand only a few have applied it as
the conditions have been such that
very few weevils have made their
appearance. With the last week of
rain it is believed that the weevils
will appear in great numbers and it
now behooves every farmer to watch
his crop closely.
Several farmers around Law
renceville have stated that they
were finding more weevils every
day and “snappers” by the thous
ands and they are now applying
poison to rid their crops of this men.

I reckon the picnic season is
the finest time that there is—to
set the red blood a-zippin’ and
to make our emotions whizz, —
O, it’s then we can slip, the halter
off—an’ roll, to our heart’s con
tent —an’ get up an’ shake our
selves, an’ feel like a hundred
an’ one per cent!
As soon as the picnic season’s
on—an’ the styles begin to ad
vance, —it’s proper to think of
the custard pie, when selectin’
yer sun-kist pants... And, the
hard-bileU egg—an’ the peanut
salve, which is staple as alfalf
hay—They’re items to be pro
vided fer, on the eve of the pic
nic day...
Of course there’s handicap*
lurkin’ around, as there allers
will be, I guess... The chigger
deploys his sub-mareen band, in
the depths of the pic-nic dress
... An’ I ain’t complained, you.
understand, of the trysts in the
coolin’ shade—but, the thing
that’s quickest to call my hand,
is—red ants in the lemonade!
