To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion
(From the Family Physician.)


Beauty devotees are enthusiastic
over the identifying qualities mer-
colized wax. Perhaps nothing dis
covered within recent years accom-
plishes so much, so quickly, without
harm, without OBTAINING one indoors,
and at such small expense. The prin-
cipal reason for its wonderful merit
is that it works in harmony with phys
biological laws. Instead of hiding, or
curing" complexion defects, ii re-
moves them. The wax actually takes
off the aged, faded, sallow or blotchy
cuticle, gently, gradually, causing no
Inconvenience. II is natures way of
renewing compilations. When the nat
ural process is retarded because of
deficient circulation or nerve tone,
mercolized wax comes to the rescue
and hastens the skin shedding The
new complexion which appears is a
natural one, youthful, healthy, ex-
quisitely beautiful If you've never
tried mercolized wax, get an ounce of
il at the drug store, use at night like
cold cream, washing it off in the
morning
Another natural identifying treat
mentor wrinkled, 1abby SKINS to
battle the face in a lotion made by
dissolving an ounce of saxolite in a
half pint of witch hazel This is re-
markedly effective.

count of his results is therefore mis-
leading, and is especially unfortunate
because coupled with some very spe-
cious arguments in favor Of the gener-
al adoption of his process as cheap
substitute for irrigation.
ATTEMPTS ARE FUTILE.
1T hardly seems necessary for the
weather bureau at this late date to
enter into elaborate arguments in or
der to convince the public of the utter
fuLility of this and every other method
SO far proposed for artificially produc-
ing rain. Almost exactly the same
experiments as those of Mr.. Post we're
carried out some 90 years ago in
nearly the same part of the country
by the late J. G. Dyrenforth, and al
though the results obtained were re-
garded as encouraging by the expert
mentors themselves, they were pro-
nounced a complete fiasco by the in
telligent public, as well as by scien-
tific men. Moreover, entirely regard
less Of whether rain does or does not
follow a particular experiment of this
kind, the supposition that there is a
relation of cause and effect between
cannot be entertained for a moment
by anyone familiar with the physical
processes involved.
TRIALS At BATTLE CREEK.
"On the oath of this month the cit
liens of Battle Creek, Mich, are to
make public test of Mr.. Posts meth
cd, and have advertised the fact so
widely that the influx of visitors on
that occasion will probably be large.
This is an illustration of the only way
in which rain-making can benefit a
community. 1t recalls the fact that
the so-called chemical rain-makers,
who are charlatans of the worst type,
have frequently figured as attractions
at country fairs, and have been f.
nanced for advertising purposes by
the railroad companies.
RAIN-MAKERs ARE FAKES.
Especial attention is invited to the
fact that il these experiments at Bat
tie Creek should be made at a time
when rain is about to occur through
the regular operations of nature, the
fallacious theory that rain can be pro-
duced by concussion would be accept.
ed by many people. and a further I'M
necessary expenditure of money would
probably result. | am in favor of any
line Of legitimate research that may
hold out the possibility of rain being
created artificially, but l am opposed
to the exploitation of such methods
as have heretofore been employed by

at the lodge hall of Camp 26 in X. c.
hall. The degrees were administered
by the drill team of Camp %. The
class adoption is the first results of
a membership campaign put on by the
three camps and directed by District
Deputy clearinghouse. Director S. S.
Tanner of Miner, ILL.,, was among
the many guests present at the meet
ing and at the request Of the camp
consul, he made a brief talk to the
new members in which he congratu-
lated the young men on their good
fortune in securing membership in
what he declared to be, under its new
adjustment of rates, the greatest fra
ternal beneficiary society in the
world. He predicted that the society
would emerge triumphant from the
crisis through which IL was now pass
ing, and that it was destined to a fu-
ture outrivaling the glory of its past;
this because it had for the first time
made a scientific adjustment of its
rates and settled down to a solid and
permanent foundation.
A second class adoption with as
many or more candidates will be held
by the three camps early in the fall.
The membership campaign has had
the effect Of convincing the members
of the participating camps of the fact
that the new rates have enlarged the
field of the society.
