How to Get Rid
Of Hair Not Wanted
(Beauty Culture.)

1t is a simple matter to rid the
skins surface of hair not wanted II
delatone is used. Enough paste to cover
the surface is made with delatone and
water, and this is left on the skin
two or three minutes, then rubbed off
and the skin washed carefully.
The pleasing part of this is that the
use of delatone IS quite harmless as
we'll as painless, and once delatone is
used it rarely happens that the hairy
growth returns. Even though delatone
costs a dollar an ounce the price is
more than justified by the results fol-
lowing. Delatone should be purchased
only in the original package to insure
it's full strength and purity.
