THE ONE HARM
LESS SKIN BLEACH

Thanks to the enforcement of the
Pure Food and Drugs Act, the vari-
Gus preparations designed to bleach
the skin, containing injurious acids
and corrosive sublimate, have had
to go. Their sale is now Illegal.
There now looms up brightly
"SKYN-BLEACH," a peroxide cream
composed mostly of Earth Alkaline
PeroXides and which contains no
acids or injurious substances of any
kind.
1t does its work by reason of the
fact hat when rubbed on the skin,
previously moistened with warm
water, the free and active oxygen
which thereby becomes released not
only bleaches the skin but thorough
ly d~isinfects as well. The person
afflicted with discolored skin and
wishing to obtain that creamy white
skin 80 much to be desired, will find
Skynbleach a most valuable, efficient
and simple preparation to use.
Ask the West End Pharmacy to
satisfy you that Skynbleach will re-
store "harmlessly" your normal
complexion and skin.

WORTH KEEPING IN MEMORY
Handed Down Through Genera
tions Of Housewives.

When making sweet c~rOquettes add
g little sugar to the crumbs in which
the ]croquettes are to be rolled.
Cold water is preferable to warm
for %scrubbing doors because it does
not sink into the wood and so dries
quickly.
Holding tomatoes over the gas
flame will aus skin to burst and
come off easier than when scalded,
and the tomato will be less mushy
than when scalded.
Neglected brass may be polished
with a paste Of powdered bath brick
and oil. Take two pieces OF the brick
and rub together. This makes a finer
powder than if scraped with a knife.
Cut hams may be kept from mold
ing II the cut end Is wet with vinegar
each time after cutting. Vinegar will
also keep beef fresh for a time when
you happen to be without ice tempo
rarily.
To frost owe a window without
darkening the room, dissolve EPSON
salts in hot water and paint over the
window while the water Is hot, then
allow to dry. This is easily removed
and Is entirely Opaque while on.
Fringed cloths are often quite ruin
ed in appearance at the laundry. They
may be made to look like new for an
indefinite period If, when they are
starched, a little care be taken not to
starch the fringe. Fold each cloth in
four like a handkerchief and then
gather the fringe of each part into the
hand and hold 1t firmly while you dip
the middle only into the starch. When
the cloth is dry shake the fringe we'll
and comb it with a specially kept
toilet comb, and it will fall as softly
and p~rettily as when new.

THE NOSE A FILTER
TO STRAIN THE AIR

The nOstrils are perfect "air fl
ters' and, when kept in clean,
healthy state, strain every bit of air
we breathe, catching all dust parti-
Giles, foreign matter and germs. The
air is full of germs. You cannot
dodge them, but % can safeguard
yourself against catarrh and other
diseases contracted in the process of
breathing by keeping the nostrils
clean and healthy. Catarrh germs
will sometimes get in their work,
and you may mistake the symptoms
for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you
have a stuffed up feeling in the
head, or if your throat is sore or
filled with phlegm, just grease the
nostrils with a little Ely's Cream
Balm, draw the pure, aromatic
fumes back in the head, and you
will be astonished at the effect. In
q few minutes you will feel a loos-
ening up in the head, the nasty dis
charge will soon be stopped, the
soreness gone, and you will feel a
of genuine relief.
Ely's Cream Balm not only wards
off catarrh, but will quickly cure
even a chronic, lo~ngstanding case of
catarrh. 1t takes the trouble right
where it starts, in the nose and
throat, cleanses, heals and strength
ems the raw, sore inside skin, or
membrane, and in this way drives
out catarrh and makes you proof
against this filthy, disgusting dis
ease.
Summer Colds. which often hang
on for weeks, can be quickly cured
with this cleansing, healing, anti
septic balm. All druggists sell it
for fifty cents a bottle, and the one
bottle is generally all that is needed
to effect a complete cure Try it
