EASY RECIPES FOR

BEAUTY

FINE BEAUTY LoTIoN-To give
the complexion a smooth, clear. re-
fined look, nothing better can be
used than a lotion made by dissolv-
half pint not water. with two
teaspoonfuls glycerine added.
This removes all evidence of a shiny,
sallow skin and gives to it a beau

HARMLESS FLESH REDUCER -
Fatty tissues reduce readily by
Sa%s q Ps ona and
half pints hot water; take table
spoonful before each meal. This
harmless treatment takes away the
fat without wrinkling the skin. In
this manner a most satisfactory re-
duction in weight can be attained in
short time without restoring TO
exercises and restricted diet.
TO DANISH FUZZY GROWTHS -
POWDERED delatone is quick and
reliable hair remover. Get an ounce
of delatone from your druggist and
mix enough with water to cover the
hairs not wanted. After two or
three minutes rub off and wash the
skin. Rarely is 1t necessary to use
the second application and although
delatone costs a dollar an ounce it
Is worth every cent you pay
FOR SALLoW COMPLBXIONS -
A sallow skin is due to bad blood
and the best way to overcome it is
TO take "a good system tonic and

HITCH IN PURCHASE OF
BOROUGH SCHOOL SITE

The North Arlington school au-
thorities have not yet been able to
persuade Joseph McCreery, of River
road. near Belmont avenue, to sell a
piece of property owned by him for
81, 500. The land measures $50 feet on
Kearny avenue and extends 400 feet
eastward, and adjoins the old school
house on the north side. The borough
needs the plot for a site for a $780,
900 schoolhouse and the citizens voted
recently to bond the borough for 800
900 for the building and $4,000 for the
site, having understood that the lat
ter mount would be ample TO pay for
the property.
The sum named has been rendered to
Mr.. McCreery, but he has not con-
scented to accept 1t. 1t is said that he
prefers to divide the and into building
lots. Unless he and the borough au-
thorities can come to terms In a few
days it is said that application will
be made by the North Arlington Off
Gals to the Bergen county court for
the appointment of commissioners to
condemn the property.
