How Many Men
Keep Youthful
(From The Social Register }

1t is well known that within recent
years the men have become extensive
patrons OF beauty specialists and mas.
seurs. Not only the fastidous, but men
generally who have care for personal
appearance. This has also led to the en-
ployment by many Of means calculated
to enhance or. preserve physical attrac-
ttiveness, especially by those who abhor
beauty parlors."
OF these, perhaps the most widely used
is ordinary mercolized wax--which ex-
plains the mystery OF the silver-haired
gentleman with the boyish face. The
nercolized wax, obtainable at any drug
store, is applied after shaving, the same
as cold cream, only not rubbed in. This
gradually absorbs the dead and half-dead
euticlc in tiny particles. revealing the
fresher,, healthier hued skin beneath To
secure best results many apply the way
at night, washing it off in the morning.
Women not only encourage husbands in
this, but use the treatment themselves.
