FRECKLES GONE
Simple Remedy from My Druggist
Removed Them" Says So
ciety Lady.

THE best skin specialist told me
that nothing would remove my
freckles and that / would carry them
to my grave" said a well known
society woman, but / fooled them
all with a new drug, othine-double
strength, that l bought at my drug
gist's which cleared my skin and
gave me a fine complexion"
The action Of othine is really re-
maTkable, for when applied at night
many Of the freckles disappear en-
tirely by morning and the rest have
begun 10 fade. An ounce is usually
all that is needed even for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask your druggist for
double strength othine, as this Is
sold under a guarantee Of money
back IL 1t fails to remove the freck-
les.

Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

Gertrude: To beautify the COM
plexion and preserve it's youthfulness,
try an almozoin cream Jelly. This IS
splendid for the removal of black
heads and pore impurities as we'll as
clearing the skin of tan, freckles,
blotches and nne lines. To prepare
get an ounce of almozOin from the
druggist and stir it int a half-pint
cold water. then add two teaspoon
fuls glyceTine. Let stand several
hours. Using this cream jelly quick
~ clears the skin and gives to il a
velvety smOothness and charming
tin without the least possible dan
ger of growing hair.
II. L.: An unhealthy scalp causes
profuse daEdruff and dull, stringy,
straggly hair. / would advise a quin-
zoip tonic. which is inexpensive and
easy 10 prepare. Get an ounce of
quinzoin from your druggist and dis
solve liz a half-pint alcohol, then add
a half-pint water Nassaging the
scalp frequently with this stops itch
mess, removes dandruf or excess oil,
and puts the scalp in a healthy condi-
ton. Its continued use makes the

inal color, and promtes a fine growth.
Mrs. A: ! don't think the condi-
ton of your eyes calls for glasses.
The ache and smart of which you
speak can be quickly stopped IL you
use an eye-tonic. made by dissolving
an ounce Of crytos in a pint Of water
and putting two or three drops in
each eye daily This tonic is very
beneficial, as il sooJhes aching eye
muscles and removes Inflammation.
Using ii makes weak eyes strong and
gives TO them an unusual brilliancy
and pleasing expression.
A. D: Do not employ the electric
needle for the removal Of those stray
hairs, as it is a painful and costly
operation. Get an ounce OF della
tone from the druggist and with wat
er mix a little into paste. Spread
on hairy surface and after two or
three minutes rub of. wash the skin
and you will find the hairs are gone
DelaJoue cost a dollar an ounce and

education met yesterday afternoon at

tors who desire to erect the new Ridge
view school building. The lowest bid

the Gust Ed Construction company.

casionalIy with canthrox. Get an
original package of canthrox from
your druggist and dissolve a teas
poonful in a cup of hot water. Mas
saying the scalp briskly as you pour
on little at a time creates a rich,
cleansing lather and when the scalp
and hair are rinsed you will find
both Immediately clean. With
Canthrox sh: mpoo the hair dries
quickly without streaking, and hair
that is dull, brittle or unmanageable
will become bright, soft and easy to
arrange.
Alma: Your skin will lose that
shiny, Unnatural look and take on a
velvety smoothness and pink and
white tint if you discard powder and
rouge and use the following lotion.
Dissolve four ounces spurmax in
One-half pint hot water and when
cool add two teaspoonfuls glycerine.
Apply this to the skin, rubbing gent
y until dry. This is superior to
powder because IL is invisible when
on. does not blow off. and aside from
beautifying the skin and removing
tan and freckles. gives a richness TO
he complexion not possible with
powder. 1t is especially nice to use
in hot weather because perspiration
will not spot it.
Mildred: Impure blood causes a
sallow, lifeless condition OF the skin,
robs you Of energy and gradually I'M
dermines your health. Before 1t is
too late, get an ounce of kardene at
the drug store and dissolve in a
half pint alcohol. To this add one
half cupful sugar and hot water to
make quart, then take one table
spoonful before meals. This tonic
soon rids the blood OF impurities,
then health and strength quickly re-
turn. Nothing equals a kardene ton
ic as an energizer and system builder
Miss NJ: It is not necessary to
visit sanitarium in order to reduce
your weight Dissolve four ounces
parnotis in a pint and half hot wat
ter Strain when cold and take a
tablespoonful before meals. This is
quite harmless: and while IL dissolves
fatty tissues, does not leave the skin
wrinkled or fabby, nor does II call
for dieting.

DEATH OF THOMAS MILLER
LONG RESIDENT OF PHOENIX

Mr. Thomas Miller passed away at
1880 Good Friday morning at his
home, North Fourth avenue. His
devoted and faithful wife, who had
been his constant nurse during his
illness, was with him and also Mrs.
Aliller's father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wood, OF Moncton, New Bruns-
wick, who came last September to
be with their daughter during Mr.
Miller's failing health.
Mr.. Robert Taylor, Mr.. q. Fred
Sharpe and Mr.. :. Mitchell, three of
his Canadian friends, helped To bear
their departed friend To his last rest
ing place in Greenwood cemetery
The funeral service was held at
o'clock Saturday afternoon conducted
by Rev. Harvey Deere pastor of the
First Baptist church, Phoenix, Ari-
iona. Had Mr.. Miller lived until
Easter Sunday it would have been
just thirteen years since he was bap-
tiscd by immersion and joined this
church. BY request Of his wife the
twenty-third psalm was sung during
the service, this psalm being a great
comfort to him during his long illness,
and when restless he would repeat
il. He was patient unto the end, and
when called home at the age of forty
five, just in the prime of life
Mr. and Mrs. Miller's former home
was in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Hewins, he does by far the best work
he has done since the company opened
at the jefferson street house.
There is something sweet and ap-
pealing in the character OF Dad Hew-
ms as interpreted by Mr.. Lynton. 1t
is not supposed To be the leading
character of the play, but he almost
makes il so. In every act there is
one scene or more in which he is
given an opportunity 10 do some good
work and in every scene he impresses
his audience with his ability as an
actor. To be more correct he i'm
presses everyone with the character Of
Dad Hewins. his hearers only remem-
Der aftcr,yard that he is acting.
There are several changes in the
National Stock company's batting ord
or. in The Deserter." Hr. Harry
Cone. for instance. is the villain while
Edward Kerr the regular heavy
portrays the role of a happy husband
and father Mr. Cone is better in
juvenile roles but the change is en-
tirely satisfactory in the case of
Mr.. Kerr He is well suited to the
part of Tom Hewins and in two or
three scenes shows evidences of abili-
tv which his Phoenix friends had not
suspected he possessed.
Mr. H b. Carpenter is Jim Hewins,
brother of Tom, black sheep of the
family. Tom Hewins is drafted for
the army-the year is 1S62-and his
brother takes his place. 1t appears
that Hilton. played by Mr.. Cone, was
once i'm love with Tom Hewins' wife
and plots to undermine their happy
home He causes Tom to be drafted
and is disappointed when Jim volun-
teers as substitute. Later Hilton
makes it appear that Jim has deserted
and Tom goes to war anyhow, to
save the family from disgrace. But
il ALI comes out right in the end and |
the villain is foiled. The only part
of the whole play that is not realistic
is the desire of Hilton for revenge.
He merely lost a girl to another man |
and in real life il is only the nobler |
characters who love deeply enough To !
worry over the loss of one girl more |
than fifteen minutes or half an hour. |
Much comedy is furnished by John |
II CASSIDY and Miss Fanny Adler. Mr. |
Cassidy essays a juvenile role while |
Miss Adler, as usual is the soubrette |
Miss Beatrice Allen is we'll cast as
Annie Hewins. wife of Tom. Miss |
