A Topeka man who has recsntly
become a widower has been receiving
some letters addressed to his ex-wife.
beauty doctor in Chicago had Sc
cured her name and began sending
her literature with an offer to make
her a dazzling beauty for the price of
$40. She could remove wrinkles and
liver spots, freckles and tan, could
straighten her nose, curve her eye
brows, and make her cheeks bios
som like the dandelion; If too fat, she
could give her nymph like figure; If
too lean, she could pad her bones
with dimpled flesh, and SO on to the
charms. The mail was all carefully
studied by the bereaved husband, and
an answer duly sent, asking for more
particulars and reduced rates, con-
sidering that all the treatments would
be required. In reply the doctor made
the beauty seeker an offer of 81, for
the entire course. After week or
so the dollar was forwarded, but the
doctor wrote back that the time limit
for the special rate had expired and
that she would require SO cents
more before directions and nostrums
could be sent. The extra fifty cents
was forwarded and the next mail
brought him load of instruction and
dope that will keep him amused for
the next six weeks, and he feels that
it is worth the money. He could
cream, face-skinner and flesh produce
err, and he can give instruction in ex-
ercises and messages that are guar
anteed to produce miraculous results.
Better look him up.
