out to spend the rest of the day In

J9 Oregon boys in the two units, which
Cumbered 37 men in all.

' Colonel L. F. fampbell. of the recep
tion committee, proved his condition by
clambering to the top of the triumphal
xrch at the station entrance, just before
the train arrived, and straightening
out a flag or so that had fallen awry.
fTha crowd bestowed lively interest upon
the colonel's acrobatic turn, and hax
arded bets that he'd tumble. But he
fixed the flags and won his way back
to terra firms, puffing but unperturbed.
The men of the SKth coast artillery,
and the members of the casualty com
pany, who wore the gold stripe on the
r:;hl arm. to designate wounds, fell in

The 49th coast artillery counts itself
Unfortunate in that it never had the
ihanre to train a gun on a German
position nor to splatter the celebrated
i'rusiian mass formation with a dress
ing of shrapnel. It was never in ac
tion.
Landing at Brest on October 15 of
List year, the 49th was sent to Le
Mavre, from which point it was dis
tributed in smaller units all over the
man of France. Its batteries were tug'
ring at the leash of impatience, with a
line chance of quick action, when the
armistice was signed.
Both the 49th detachment and the
Sloboken casualty company boarded
their train again at 12:30 o'clock this

Two more units, containing a number
of Oregon men. will arrive tomorrow

GIRLS! MAKE LEMON I
I LOTION TO WHITEN l"
AND BEAUTIFY SKIN I
In all weathers the skin and com
plexion can be kept wonderfully clear,
soft and white by the use of this inex
pensive lemon lotion which any girl or
woman can easily prepare.
The 1uice of two fresh lemons strained
-into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable 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 wom
an knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes ns
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the
ideal skin softener, smoothencr and
beautifier.
Juet try it! Get three ounces of or
chard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
auarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion. It naturally 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, neck, arms and hands once or
twice daily may be repaid with a skin
that is flexible and young looking and
a peach-like complexion. Adv.
HAVE DARK HAIR
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
' With Sage Tea.
Grandmother Jtept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glossy and attractive with
a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect. By asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you will get a large bottle of
this old-time recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This simple
mixture an be depended upon to re
store natih-al color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears: after another application
or two it is restored to its natural color
and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.
