A Simple Way To
Reduce Wrinkles
(From The Home Maker)

Bear in mind that wrinkles, as we'll as
bagginess of cheek OF chin, are due to
the muscular tissue losing its strength
and shrinking. The skin is then too large
in area to fit such tissue smoothly. 1t

To remedy this condition there's moth
ing so effective, so quick-acting, as a
simple wash lotion you can easily make
at home. Get an ounce of powdered sax
olite at your druggists, and half pint
witch hazel, mix the two and battle your
face in the liquid. This treatment at once
tlghtens the skin and solidlfles the un-
derlyng tissue-which of course smooths
out the lines and draws in the saggins
skin. It also stimulates circulation, bring
