For centuries the scientific men
have been trying to make dark skin
lighter colored, not by artificial whit

PLEXION WONDER. which does
bring a lighter natural color every
time il is applied. The effect is not
artificial. The lighter coloring is
natural. The effect on the colored
countenance ia magical.
The CHEMICAL WONDER co. is
the best friend the dark race ever
had. II has preparations for kinky
hair which exactly suit colored peo-
pie. The WONDER COMB magnetic
metallic, helps to straighten hair.
II costs only fifty cents and Will last

MOTION IS GRANTED.

Justice Fuller remarked that
while there were no rules guiding
the practice In such a case, il would
seem as II motion for the granting
OF rehearing should be made after

General Bowers objected TO the
granting of such a motion, contend

The justices retired for consultation.
and upon their return. a few minutes
