Curative Skin Soap

IS NOT only the purest sweetest and
most refreshing Of nursery soaps, but
contains delicate emollient properties,
which purify and beautify the skin. Ii
is a soap that can be used as often as
needed without harming the living
skin. 1t washes off the dead skin,
nothing more. Have you observed how
dry and disagreeable your hands feel
sometimes after using a cheap soap?
If you use such a soap often your skin
will become unhealthy; it will lead to
skin troubles, besides making your
flesh look rough and red.

bought and sent to the army under
pretense of an experiment" This re-

asty of the commissary department

him to request to be recalled to reply
TO Gen. Miles charges. That his state
ments concerning the commanding

outburst of passion was clearly shown
by the fact that Gen. Eag2n read his
'emarks from a carefully preparedtypc-
written copy.
