for the Mexican National theater? II
YOU haven't, you won't without O trip
to Mexico City. The curtain has been
on exhibition for several days, but
now Is being boxed for shipment.
lima CINE a curtain as large az any
theater curtain you have seen, COM
posed OF great checker squares OF
glass set In bronze and making
wonderful picture Of the principal
volcanic mountain in Mexico. the
glass has the changeable iridescenco
of the Tiffany product, and under the
changing footlights shows the bril-.
lance of morning and the effect or
evening on water and mountain. The
cost OF the curtain must have been
enormous. In the United states, IL
we had such thing as a national
theater. a curtain like this would Dc
regarded as an extravaganza. but IN
Mexico, where peonage exists anu
where the upper classes are I'M
mensely wealthy. little expenditures
like this are regarded as trihing.
New York has discovered new
miniature artist At the Tiffany ex-
hfbltion where the Mexican national
theater glass curtain was displayed.
was a small cabinet containing haif
dozen miniatures by Miss Gertrude
Pew. This Is the first time TIFFANY
has displayed miniature work. IL 10

mission to do Miss Ethel Roosevelt.
II was Robert Chambers, the novelist,
who discovered Miss Pew, who only
a few months ago returned from q
period OF study abroad, and II was
through Chambers that Tiffany heard
OF her work.

HEADACHE CURES" ARE
POISON, SAYS WILEY

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 1.-Dr.
Wiley has renewed the war against
headache powders, following the In
vestigation of Se5 popular Headache
cures" many found to be rank
poisons.
Hardly Q day passes" says DR..
Wiley, that I do not receive from
some part Of the country the report
of q death from taking headachs
powders. Every such preparation sold
contains large quantities OF either
acetanelid. phenacetin, antpyrin. OF
caffein. all of which affect the heart
more or less. No physician would
think OF prescribing more than one
or two grains Of these drugs, but the
headache powders contain from four
TO six grains.
They are poisonous to person
with q weak heart and are likely TO
result IN death at any time"

To Shrink a Fleshy,
Flabby, BIOated Face
lFrom Happy Homesl

The woman whose face has a
bloated appearance at times. particu-
larly upon arising. as well as she
whose face is permanently over
fleshy or flabby. should use the saxo-
lite solution. This is made by dis
solving ] OF. powdered saxolite IN
l-2 pint, witch-hazel, inexpensive in
gradients which any druggist can
supply. Use as a wash lotion. There
is nothing better TO reduce the face
to 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 COM
Portable feeling Of frmness and
smugness.
This treatment Is far superior 20
massage. The latter, as a matter of
fact, can afford but temporary relief,
and it's continuance tends TO break
down the muscular tissue and aggra-
vate the trouble.
