HAIR REM0VERS
ARE DANGEROUS
Physicians Say: "Don't Use Poison
Gus Depilatories."

. The eXtravagant claims recently mad
by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers of hair
removers in sensational advertisements
Internationally justify physicians in eau
tioning the public against the use of this
class of depilatories. How many people
nave been enticed into using these dam
seroas preparations with consequent in
jury to themselves, cannot be estimated
put ONLY guessed at. The preparations
above Inferred to are invariably in the
form or creamy pastes, which are to be
spread upon the skin to remain until they
dry. These contain Sulphide of Barium
an insoluble chemical. which cannot be-
dissolved, therefore cannot be absorbed
by. the skin. The very fact that you are
told to leave these pasty compounds on
the skin until they dry and cake and then
lift off with knife is proof positive that
they are not absorbed. If they are, why
do they still remain on the skin? The
most they can possibly do is to remove
the surface hair. which in consequence
VIII reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
mere is only one logical and scientific
way to remove hair. and that is by means
or liquid containing soluble ingredients
which can be absorbed by the skin. De
miracle. known all the world over as the
only real superfiuous hair remover, is just
such preparation. 1t is easily and
quickly absorbed and after YOU have
USED II you VIII note there is nothing left
on the SKIN. 1t leaves the skin free from
irritation, and what is more to the point.
IT Is absolutely non-poisonous. therefore
VIII not produce eczema or blood pois-
oning.s Remember. no matter what claims
are made to the contrary no poisonous
pasty compound or other worthless con-
| coction can reach the hair root and we
can prove it.

itching had got to my chest and during
that day it spread all over my body. /

head to the soles Of my feet and l was
in continual agony from the itching. l
could neither lie down nor sit up. l
happened to see about Cuticura Rene

cura Soap and used the Cuticura Oint-

to my feet and then went to bed. On

crps1Nd MEErYaS Tor ieitTs (
In the Special Services by Mr.. Browns,
ina at Methodist Church.

The special meetings in the Metho-
dist church will close tonight. These
meetings have been productive of great
good.
The 18th chapter of Matthew fur
nished the lesson last evening and sug-
gested the subject, The objectionable
Sim"
In the first place, the preacher show
ed that the Holy Spirit, the third per-
son of the Trinity, was the active
agent in the work of human redemption
and that no man could find pardon and
peace unless the Holy Spirit directed
and helped in the work.
The preacher then showed that the
sin never pardoned was the sin against
the Holy Spirit. This sin is to curse
the Holy Spirit of God. This sin is to
reject the offer of Salvation. Those
who do these things need not hope for
pardon. Only through the help of the
Christ can man find salvation; there
fore one ought to pause and reflect
before he mocks at the work of the
Holy Spirit as manifested in life, or
a church, or Il city.
Then the preacher pleaded with those
who had any desire to be Christian
to begin at once. The very desire to
be Christian is proof that one is not
guilty of the objectionable sin; there
fore while mercy is extended to you
and while the opportunity waits, why
not accept Christ tonight? Five per-
sons accepted this invitation
The meetings will close tonight
There will be a great farewell service
at 730.
