Wrinkles Disappear
As If By Magic
CFrom Denver Republican,

I'm the removal of wrinkles I have
discarded cosmetics entirely" writes
Mime. Corsar, the celebrated Partisan
beauty expert. THE results they pro-
duce are deceptive and never perma-
ment. Massa sing is only partially sue
cessful and it's too slow a method.
I've never seen anything work such
wonders as simple, harmless soIu-
ton any woman can prepare and use
at home without the least trouble. A
half-pint of witch hazel and an ounce
of good powdered saxolite are all you'll
need. Mix the two and apply this re-
freshing solution to your face daily.
The effect is marvelous-instantane
The skin becomes firmer, tignter'-every
wrinkle and sag is affected. You feel
so refreshed after using the wash; you
look refreshed, too; soon you will look

Russian Wheat Production.

An enormous crop of wheat has
been grown in Russia this year. plac-
ing that land for the first time at the
head of wheat-growing countries. Its
harvest of S3,OOO,O00 bushels exceeds
that of the United States by 26,OQ0,O00
bushels, and is greater than its own
previous record by about 100000, 900
bushels The development Of wheat
growing has been most rapid along
the line of the Trans-Siberian railway.
AS the home consumption is small in
proportion to population this has
made Russia one of the great sources
of supply for the rest of the world
France consumes much Of the wheat
that it grows The present price Of
wheat in the United States, when
placed against the surplus product OF
Russia makes it more difficult for this
country to hold its place as an ex-
porter of that cereal.
