How TO She'd A

It's foolish to attempt to cover up
or hide sallow complexion, when
you can so easily remove the sallow-
ness, or the complexion itself Rouge
and the like on brownish skin, only
emphasize the defect. The better way
is to apply pure mercolized wax-the
same as you would cold cream-put-
ting 1t on at night. removing 1t in the
morning with warm water and soap
following with dash of cold water
The effect of few applications is
simply marvellous. The half-dead
cuticle is absorbed by the wax-pain
lessly, gradually, in tiny impercep
tible particles revealing the beautiful
velvety white new skin beneath.
No woman need have a sallow
blotchy, pimply or freckled com
plexion if she'll just go to the drug
gist's, get some good mercolized wa,
and use as suggested Woman
