How Science Has Come to tho Relief Of
Such Afflicted Ones.
As a reporter set in cable car the other
day he noticed npretty woman enter Pretty,
stylish and trim from head to foot--only one
blemish, and that decided, an humiliating
one. She had a pronounced mustache that q
youth Of 20 would have envied her. Every
where that one goes, in shops, churches,
theatres, this Disagreement IS noticed. Is
there no remedyl Sensitive women will re
sort to any and every method to rid them
selves Of superfluous hair. Scissors, tweez-
ers, yes, even razors are used, only to find
that the blemish will return as fast as it is
removed, and with additional strength.
There are many fortunate cases. A young
woman had few struggling hairs on her
face. She noticed them much more than
anyone else, and grew actually morbid on
the subject One day while having her hair
shampooed her hairdresser noticed them
and told her he could remove them. He
produced a small stone, and by her permis-
sion proceeded to rub them off, leaving her
face smooth and blushing from the friction.
He assured her that if they returned they
would be much finer, scarcely to be OBJ
served. Instead, in a few days they ap-

were very much worse than before. In her
despair she again used the stone which her
hairdresser had persuaded her to buy. This
practice she kept up daily, until her face WIS

has been found in electricity

The reporter then asked permission to be
allowed to watch an operation, which was
granted. The patient sits in a reclining
chair and holds bowl Of water on her lap
in which is immersed one Of the cords from
the battery. To the other is attached the
finest possible needle. The operator gathers
up the flesh about The obnoxious hair, plunges
the needle in deep, the patient dips two or
three fingers in the water, says "Ohls and
waits. After few seconds the needle is re-
moved and the hair is deftly picked out by
the tweezers. The face is left little sore from
the operation, but camphor freely applied
will heal it, Canphor is much better than
any oily substance like cream or vaseline, for
