SECRET OF CHARMING
YOUTHFUL COMPILATIONS.

Most sensible advice comes from the
pen of Mae Martyr, in the San Fran
cisco Call, as follows:
1.-THE greatest mistake which thou
sands of women make daily, is the
practice of smearing their faces with
powder in vain attempt to improve
their looks. Powder only covers up
complexion i'll temporarily, clogs the
skin pores, and eventually causes
blotchy Wrinkled faces
'"Those who wish to whiten and
beautify their compilations and make
their faces more charming and youth J.
full bookings should try an inexpensive
lotion made by dissolving ounces OF
spurmax in either y pint hot water
or y pint witch hazel, adding 2 tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Where witch
hazel is used, the skin dries more
quickly
This lotion prevents blackheads

makes the skin soft. smooth and vel

from the text Create within me

find our own photogra phsa This man
fell 1t is possible for a man 10 fall

the dark sin of COY etousness Ii is
one of the blacklist of all. While look
ing out of the window one time he
saw another mans wife anu he
planned in his heart that in the COM
ing battle he would place her husband
in the battles front where he would
be killed. This he did. But David Is
not the only man that has had this
dark sin in his heart. Friends beware
of coVetousness! When he came 10
himself, he asked for pardon. Blot
out my tranSgressions. God heard Ills
prayer. II was not enough tor nm To
get justified, for ne knew the evil
within must be eradicated. He went
on and prayed: Create within me

every one in order to secure found

clean heart can overcome all the
Wiles of our common enemy. Character
on this foundation will stand all the
assaults that can come to any one.
Fact, it is absolutely necessary to have
a clean heart, without which no man
shall see God.
In closing, Mr. Belt said: THE most
scientific operation that ever has been
