HOW TO BEAUTIFY
YOUR COMPLEXION

Adding permanent beauty to the face.
neck and arms is by no means a difficult
matter" says Mae Martyr in the Phlladel-
phia Call. But the greatest mistake
which thousands of women make daily is
the practice OF smearing their faces with
powder. This stops up the pores in the
skin, causing pimples enlarged pores and
other facial blemishes that are difficult
to overcome.
THE best skin whitener and complex
ion beauufier known to beauty specialists
is made by dissoving four ounces spurmax
in one-half pint hot water with two tea
spoonfuls glycerine added. This inexpen-
sive lotion is very fine for clearing up a
rough. oily or sallow skin. 1t quickly
corrects a shiny, lifeless condition giving
the skin a smooth. satny tone. After
once you try 1t, you will have no further
use for face powder as It doesn't show
or rub off so easily."-Adv.

Chief of Police Kamerbeck of Holland.
Mich, today viewed the body taken from
the river near the Madison street bridge

land, Mich. Coroner's Physician Joseph
Springer, after making a post-mortem
examination and some OF the police held
the theory OF suicide, but were unable to
explain away facts which indicate the
man had been a victim of enemies. Dr.
Springer said water in the lungs made 1t
certain that death had been due to
drowning, that supposed bullet hole In
the right leg was caused by the pro-
tFuding end OF a broken bone and that
ugly bruises on the right arm, leg and
shoulder were spots caused by decompo-
sition.
The wire, he said. might have been
placed about the body of the man by his
own hands in the belief that 1t would
hold his clothing tight and make him
more certain Of sinking before he threw
himself in the water.
Mr.. Boggs left Omaha for the purpose
Of attending the funeral OF his father in
Holland. Mich. and nothing has been
heard Of him since. unless the body found
in Chicago proves to be his. Mrs. Boggs
