Ever since woman's beauty held
sway over man and brought her power,
influence and wealth, she has sought
a way to stay the process or ola age
and Danish deep lines and burrows
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 a way TO
keep the beauty of youth in wom-
ans 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 give way to
the heavy imprints of coming age.
Her first resort was to facial mas
sage, cold cream and steaming pots;
then next to beauty specialists; but
all in vain. The wrinkles seemed. II
anything, to grow deeper and deeper.
Massage even appeared to stretch the
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 a friend
made a 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 a wrinkle remover
entirely different from anything she
had seen or heard of. She tried it on
herself, and, 10 and behold. 1t worked
wonderful transformation in sim
gle night. She tried it a second night,
and her wrinkles were practically
gone. A 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
remarkable process with wonderful
results.
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 can not
express how grateful feel to you for
what your treatment has done for
me-" Mrs A. NJ. Brooks of Howe,
Texas, writes: "Your treatment is the
first 1 ever tried that really had the
desired effect in banishing face lines.
I am 68 years old and yet many say
I do not look more than 45." Miss

LABOR FEDERATION
 CONVENTION TODAY
Opponents of Gonlpsrs Ready to Attack Political Course.

Denver, Nov. o. Beginning this morn ing at the Auditorium, the twenty eighth annual convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor is the most important gathering of delegates to a convention of that body in its history.
 The important question to be dis cussed is indorsement of the political programme carried out by the execu- tive council during the recent political campaign, which has generally been referred to as Mir. Gompers' plan.
 Opponents of Samuel Gompers, presl. dent of the federation, are working to- gether in an effort to prevent his re- election. They are charging him with 'pernicious political activity" and us- ing other arguments to convince dele gates that Gompers has lost his stand ing as leader of workingmen.
 Among those who are expected to lead the fight on the federation's presi- dent is President Daniel Keefe of the Longshoremen's union, who was charg- ed with deserting the federation's leg islative committee and coming out for Taft. .-...
 Leaders who will participate in the sessions of the convention laugh at the idea of defeating Gompers. They de- clare that not only will he be upheld, but that Keefe will be removed from his place as a vice president of the federation, while all Keefe's followers will suffer like defeat for whatever office or other preferment they may seek.
