To Shrink a Fleshy,
Flabby, Bloated Face
(From Happy Homesl .

The woman whose face has a
blOated appearance at times, par
ticularly upon arising, as well as she
whose face is permanently over
1lesky or flabby, should use the saxo-
lite solution. This is made by dis
solving one ounce powdered saxoltie
in One-half pint witch hazel, mex
Dcnsive ingredients which any drug
Sist can supply. Use as a wash To-
ton. There is nothing better to re-
duce the face to a normal condition.
The loose skin shrinks, bagginess
and wrinkles are ironed out. Not
only does the effect quickly show in
ones improved appearance but there
is also a comfortable feeling of
frmness and snugness.
This treatment is far superior 70
massage. The latter, as a matter of
fact, can afford but temporary re-
lief, and its continuance tends TO
break down the muscular tissue and
aggravate the trouble.

ing to give It vitality. i
"He instituted HNas suits said the
senator, -four of which failed utterly
and one of which. was successful be-
cause the violation was so fragrant
that no other result could have hap

He declared there was utter incom-
potency in every branch of the de-
partment of justice, under Mr.. Miller's
administration. the attorney general
and his assistants and the United
States attorneys were lacking in vir-
ility, he charged.
"They failed utterly to comprehend
the scope of the Sherman act or the
results that were to follow" said the
senator.
They seem to have paid no atten.
ton to the great debates in congress
on the subject ---.
