Wrinkleless Skin
Now Easy to Have

There's no excuse for any woman
having wrinkles now. 1t has been
found that a simple mixture of
saxolite and witch hazel has a re-
markable action upon the deepest
wrinkles, no matter what their ma
ture, whether caused by worry, ha-
bitual frowning, debilitated con-
dition or the ravages of Father
Time. This harmless remedy,
which anyone can easily make and
use at home, acts both as an
astringent and a tonic. The COM
bined effect of Tightening the skin
and frightening its vitality is to
Immediately affect every line and
wrinkle, keeping the cuticle
smooth and firm as in youth.
The proportions are one ounce
saxolite (powdered) to one-half
pint witch hazel. The solution
should be used as a wash lotion.
1t is equally effective in disposing
of flabblness of cheek and neck, as
well as sagging below the eyes.

forgot the most important business in
hand, and at late hour adjourned
without approving the pay rolls.
Some alarmed employe called atten-
ton to the omission, a. the members
were leaving the building. and Chair
man Adams hastily reconvened the
meeting on the front steps of the City
Hall. Acting Clerk Wood and City
Engineer Boiling were summoned, and
the meeting was held and pay rolls
approved in due form at an open-air
meeting under the street lights. The
temperature was much more congenial
on the street, and some members sug-
gested that the hot committee room
be abandoned hereafter and summer
meetings be held in the parks.
An ususually large number of allie
cations were heard and many side
walk improvements were recommended
to the Council. Many other minor
improvements and repairs to streets
were ordered, mainly at the request
of property owners.

made to his committee. and said his
subcommittee had issued no such arbi-
trary order and had not exceeded its
powers. The Trafford letters In an ar

heat to remarks made by Chairman

week. when the Water Committee re-
fused to accede to the request OF the

on the matter Of water pumping. Mr..
Mills was quoted as saying at shat
time that if the Electricity Committee
was in earnest it could save the city
$50, 900 a year by consolida ting the de-
partments.
Mr. Trafford had already told the
Electricity Committee that II the cleo

$4,000, s against an annual charge now
for the New Pump House of $4,000 IN

that the position taken by the Water
Department was inconsistent in stating
that a saving could be made and then

Ing behind a city ordinance which he
thought evidently needed amendment.
