BEAUTY
DOCTOR
Says the New Method Increases
the Bust Measurement and
Rounds the Arms and Neck.
(By Clara Belle M

(From Chicago Examiner.)
Speaking from my own per-
sonal experience and from OBJ
servation of many whom 1 have
successfully treated in the past
two years, I should say that
Madame Moneaux really owed
her great success as a beauty
specialist to the use of simple
preparation which is used ex-
clusively to develop the bust,
arms and neck. I became ac-
ouainted with this formula and
have used II ever since. much to
the delight Of patrons.
IF your bust lacks develop
ment or hrmness you can rely
on both increase and frmness
from the persistent use of the
following: Obtain from the drug
gist two ounces of glycerfne and
one ounce tincture cadomene
compound (not cardamom), mix
and let stand several hours; then
ada q teaspoonfu1 OF borax and
three ounces Of rosewater. Shake
we'll and apply to the neck,
arms and bust, rubbing and mas
sag1ng until it is completely aa-
sorbed; then wash the parts
snsn ana dry thoroughly. Apply
tbs +r1atmont morning and night
rasnIariv for several weeks or
month"; as the case may require.
ana the most exquisite hrmness
and rounding out Of hollow places
will reward you.

stump in the state that we are opposed
to the open saloon and in favor of en-

statement made during the campaign by
those indorsing the constitutional amend
ment that the issue In the campaign was

campaign committee
Colonel Burgess says that these prin-
ciples are SO well understood by every
anti-amendment man in the state that
there will be no attempt at any evasion
OF them.
The Register says Colonel Burgess is
undoubtedly as well qualified from his
knowledge of the subject and from his
experience as a member of the commit
tee and the pert he took in the cam
paign and the X,uncils of the committee
to speak with ss1hority on this matter as
anyone in the Hdee.
