 When old age comes on, catarrhal dis eases come also. Systemic catarrh Is al. most universal in old people.
 This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruns Is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets thess cases exactly.
 Such cases cannot be treated locally nothing but an effective systemic rem. edy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is.
 If you do not receive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to pr, Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

interests of Phoenix are concerned many hundreds of thousands of dollars will be expended in the valley by the laborers on the dam if they can come this way conveniently after they are paid off.
 This valley puts up the money for construction, and 1t should get as much of the benefit as possible. In any event Globe will profit immensely, and nobody here regrets the fact. But Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa want that which is legitimately their own.

As general rule, in presidential year the dominant party in congress is more careful about the size of it's appropriations than at other times.

The Art gf Washing the Face.

In doing this use tips of fingers and occasionally the nesny part at base of hand. Work lightly bat firmly. and always toward the top, for rubbing the face downward acceptuates ths tendency to sagging which begins when one is thirty. This part of the pro-, cess should take ten minutes. All the cream must be worked into the skin that it will absorb, and that is considerable.
 Now take the soft towel and wipe the face with this. using no water at all. Look at the towel. Did you think alt that black matter was filling the pores of your skin, and now that you have learned 1t was, do you wonder that pim- ples came? The hot water softened all the grime that lay in the tiny pores and 1t opened these so that the rubbing brought all the waste matter out. Only with oil or cold cream can this be washed away. Do no slight this part of the work. for it is. most Important.
 Again dip the folded towel in the hot water and use 1t once or twice until the face feels warm and glows; then as quickly as possible apply a towel which has been dipped in the cold water. It must be so cold that the shock closes the pores, Repeat this until the skin tingles, for without the cold the hot is deadening to the skin. Every particle of elasticity can be taken from the muscles of the skin by the constant use of rather warm water. but changing to cold makes the flesh firm and keeps wrinkles away. The reason that women find rules for do- ing things ineffective or injurious fs that they do not pay attention to little things, thinking these do not matter. If you do not apply the water very cold and enough to make the skin react you would better not begin to wash your face at gall. Without this you will have done more. harm than good.
 When you have finished with the water your face is washed, strictly speaking. but you have two other steps to take. As

Did 1t ever occur to you that there was an art of washing the face, and that perhaps your face had never been clean thoroughly if you have never been through a Turkish bath? Probably you would be indignant at such a suggestion and tell of the scrubbing you had given 1t night after night with soap and water before you went to bed, and that was good so far as it went. but 1t did not go anywhere deep enough. That is merely the first step in the cleansing process.
 Dermatologists and those doctors who make beauty the aim of their treatments will tell you. after you have gained their confidence, that three-fourths of the cu- rattve influence of their work is due to the perfect cleaning that the skin re- ceives, and after you have once under gone it you can easily believe that this is true.
 Cold water, alone or with soap. will never cleanse the skin. It will rouse the sluggish nerves and give a feeling of freshness that is delightful. and It will strengthen and invigorate the muscles. but these will neither prevent nor heal biemishes of the complexion nor remove the waste matter In the pores. If you doubt this assertion prove It's truth. Wash your face carefully as you can with cold water and soap, and after you aye quite sure you have 1t spotless try the method described here. It Is that fol- lowed by all the specialists in the treat ment of the skin. You will agree that 1t is revelation to you. In trying 1t do exactly as directed, for something else ''iust as good" is not at all the same in effect.
 Before you begin have at hand liberal supply of water nearly boiling hot. more water nearly ice cold and good cold cream. It makes little difference what kind you use if you know 1t Is good for your skin and has not animal fat or vaseline for It's base These will in- crease the growth of hair on the face. T. you do not know what skin food you require go to a good specialist and find out. It will pay you in the end.
 For the face bath you must have one very soft towel and two others. Take off your dress waist and roll your hair out of the way. Now you are ready to begin the work. ?
 Pour hot water into bowl and dip into 1t a towel doubled several times so that 1t will hold the heat Cover your face with this. Repeat until the face feels eImost as if 1t were parboiled.
