Clears Complexion Quickly
New Discovery That Is Recommended
by Beauty Specialists in Paris
and New York.

A crusade has lately been started
against the use Of cosmetics, enames
and the other external applications so
largely used by women who want to
be beautiful, as there is nothing Of
this nature that does not in the end
spoil the texture of the skin and ac-
tually ruin the complexion. Y
Beauty specialists in Paris started
the idea of putting their patrons on a
special vegetable diet, and while this
gave the desired baby skin" yet it
took too long, and in their search for
something that gave the same effect
in a short time. they found Margo,
using it in tablet form, so the proper
quantity could be exactly determined
and the treatment readily used. II
has become very popular in Paris,
London, and New York, and as its
merit becomes better known, is
spreading to the smaller cities and
towns. n. B. Danforth has secured
a small supply, and every woman who
wants a fair, rosy complexion, free
from pimples, paleness, and sallov
spots. should try soc. worth Of Margo

He married Queenie and was disin-

big cotton mills. Every day he car
ried his dinner bucket to the mills,
drawing his pay on Saturday night and
taking the money home TO the little
cottage by the lake that he and Queenie
had rented.
