Miss Gladys Desmond, the actress,
of Pittsburg, Pa, says: your treat

one night 1t is certainly a godsend to
womankind. I tried cold cream, skin
foods and various advertised wrinkle
removers, but they all failed absolute

about your treatment, but in one night
my skepticism had entirely vanished.
When I looked at my face on the fol-
lowing morning and saw what Won

In speaking of her discovery, Miss
Meta says: Eyes, know it sounds too
good to be true, but really do not
think removing wrinkles half so Won
derful as the telephone. Before the
telephone was invented it appeared
ridiculous to think OF talking from
New York to Chicago.
ssThose who have used cold creams,
ETC., cannot understand how my treat
ment can act quickly. Yet, after all,
it is very simple and I wonderr that
some one did not discover the process
long ago. My letters from patients tell
the whole story. Here is one from a
lady who says my treatment made her
look 20 years younger; also letters
from many others. I do not see how
anyone can doubt in the face of such
testimony as this. I tried cold creams,
massage, etc, myself without results.
and I can thoroughly sympathize with
those who have tried to get rid OF
wrinkles, and I am truly glad that I
feel I can now offer womankind .

Ever since woman's beauty held
sway over man and brought her pow
err, influence and wealth, she has
sought a way to stay the process of
old age and Danish deep lines and fur
rows from the brow.
Chemists, beauty doctors and skin
specialists have for centuries past
vainly tried to fathom the sealed Sc
crets of nature and find way to keep
the beauty of youth in a woman's face
and form.
Harriet Meta was no exception to
the general rule of women. Trouble
and worry left her unsightly lines and
marks upon her face. She saw the
beauty of her youth giving way to the
heavy imprints of coming age.
Her first resort was to facial mas
sage, cold cream and steaming pots;
the next to beauty specialists; but all
in vain. The wrinkles seemed, II any
thing, to grow deeper and deeper.
skin; more wrinkles came. She had
spent all the money she could afford
to spend, and was ready to give up in
despair, when one day friend made
happy suggestion.
This gave her a brilliant idea. She
set to work on the thing herself, and
after several months hard labor and
almost endless experimenting she sue
ceeded in producing wrinkle remov-
err entirely different from anything
it on herself, and, 10 and behold, it
worked a wonderful transformation in
a single night She tried it second
night, and her wrinkles were practf-
cally gone. third night-three
treatments in all-and her wrinkles
had entirely disappeared, and her skin
was soft, clear, rosy and smooth.
Many others also have used this re-
markable process with wonderful re-
suits.
Mrs. Moran Elmer, New York City,
writes: Your treatment removed my
wrinkles in one night. Mrs. Turn
ham, of Seattle, Wash, says: My
wrinkles are all gone; words cannot
express how grateful L feel to you for
what your treatment has done for
me-" Mrs. A. NJ. Brooks, of Howe,
Texas, writes: your treatment is the
first I ever tried that really had the
desired effect in banishing face lines.

CHILD OF THE NEIGHBORHooD
Annie Meyer Is Related to Many by
Tics of Skin.

Chicago. Dec. 4.-''The daughter of
the 'neighborhood." That is what
thew call six-year-oId Annie Meyer,
who lives at 651 Cortez street. and
the proprietorship of the neighbors in
Annie has been we'll earned, for Annie
is carrying around on her own face,
arms, and body patches of skin from
all her Dlaymates and a number of
grown persons.
1t was about two months ago that
Annie ran out in the alley in her
sunday clothes and began to play
around an old mattress that she found
there neiehbor had thrown the
mattress out there and set fire to it.
Far from, soaring Annie away, the fire
delighted her. But the flames ignited
her fluffy holiday dress, and before
her father could tear them from her
body she was severely burned.
At the Norwegian Deaconess hos
pital the doctors said she would prob
ably recover but that an appalling
amount of skin grating would have
to be done.
Annie's father is a poor man. a coal
teamster, with five children, of whom
Annie is the youngest. His wife died
suddenly at birthday party four
years ago and the burden of working
and keeping house as well has been
great. The magnitude. of the opera
ton proposed dazed him, and he went
home and told the neighbors.

BEAUTY
DOCTOR
Says the New Method Increases
the Bust Measurements and
Rounds the Arms and Neck.
(BY CLARA BELLE NJ

(From Chicago Examiner.)
Speaking from my own per-
sonal experience and from OBJ
servation of many whom 1 have
successful treated in the past
two years, 1 should say that
Madame Moneaux really owed
her great success as a beauty
specialist to the use of a simple
preparation which is used ex-
clusively to develop the bust,
arms and neck. I became ac-
quainted with this formula and
have used it ever since, much to
the delight of patrons.
IF your bust lacks develop
ment or firmness you can rely
on both increase and firmness
from the persistent use of the
following: Obtain from the drug
gist two ounces of glycerine and
one ounce tincture cadomene
(not cardamon) compound, mix
and let stand several hours; then
add a teaspoonful of borax and
three ounces of rosewater. Shake
well and apply to the neck, arms
and bust, rubbing and massag-
ing until it is completely absorb
ed; then wash the parts treated
with very hot water and soap
and dry thoroughly. Apply the
treatment morning and night
regularly for several weeks or
months as the case may require,
and the most exquisite firmness
and rounding out of hollow
places will reward you.

MOIST MAKES A PROTEST.
Oklahoma City Magnate Commune
Gates With President Shively.

oklahoma City. Okla, Dec. a.
President R. E. Moist of the Okla
h0ma City Baseball association has
communicated with President Shively
of the Western association relative to
the action of all other clubs in the
Western association in resembling
their agreement that the Oklahoma
City team should go into the Texas
league. Moist declares the action of
these teams was ILLEGAL and unless
their original agreement is adhered
to he may bring suit against the
clubs. Larry Milton, recently selected
as manager of the Oklahom City
team, was dispatched to Texas today
for a conference with the officials of
the Texas league. It is believed that
league is willing to hold q place for
the Oklahomans if the agreement of
the other Western association man
ayers can again be secured.

Edward Foster, the chauffeur, who
was responsible for the accident, was
placed under arrest last night, charged

Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley moved to Topeka,
where he opened a private bank. This
bank continued in business from 1859
until discontinued in 1904 at which time
Mr.. Dudley retired from active bust
ness. During the great panic of 1873,
the Dudley bank was the only one
which did not close its doors.
Mr.. Dudley died in Topeka. April IA

the Crosby Roller Mills, and had many
other interests here. most of them con-
sisting of real estate holdings, both of
city property and farms. Two children

Of the Dudley estate. At the present
line he is a stockholder and official OF
