Simple Home Remedy
For Wrinkled Faces
(From Fashion Monthly }

Thousands of women are spending
fortunes In their frantic efforts to re-
move the signs of premature age from
their faces. When in this state Of mind
a woman will spend almost any amount
of money on worthless wrinkle re-
movers, of which there are many.
II these women only knew 1t, the most
effective remedy imaginable is simple,
harmless face wash which can be made
up at home in less than minute. They
have only>to get an ounce Of powdered
saxoiite and half pint Of witch hazel
at the drug store and mix the two. Ap-
ply this daily as a refreshing lotion.
The effect is almost magical Even
after first treatment a marked improve
ment Is noticed and the face has a
SNUG, firm feeling that is most pleasing.
