MONMOUTH COUNTY NEWS
MIDDLETOWN CHURCH
LOSES ITS APPEAL

Middletown, July 11:-The appeal
of the minister, church wardens and
vestry of Christ church, Middletown,
from the tax assessment of 1911
levied on some of its property was
dismissed by the Board of Equaliza-
ton of Taxes at Trenton on the
ground that the law exempting build
ings used for charitable purposes did
not apply in their case.
The property in question consists
of five houses on the original church
tract, endowed by William Leeds in
1875, and one house on an adjacent
lot.
The board held that while the
rentals from these houses went en-
tirely to the support of the church,
the houses themselves, being used as
dwellings, were not directly used for
charitable purposes. The decision Of
the Monmouth County Board of Tax
alton in dismissing the appeal was
therefore upheld.

PURE FOOD
AND DRUCS ACT
Routs Injurious Skin Preparations

Routs Injurious Skin Preparations
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
"~Skynbleach," a peroxide balm COM
posed mostly of Earth Alkaline Per-
oxides and which contains no acids
or injurious substances of any kind.
Skynbleach, used regularly, is
your best assurance Of a fresh,
healthy, charming complexion. Per-
oxide, one of the chief ingredients Of
Skynbleach, is a natural benefactor
of the skin. 1t nourishes, cleanses
and bleaches. 1t also destroys germ
life, thus preventing skin affections
caused by bacteria.
1t does it's work by reason of the
fact that when rubbed OF the skin,
previously moistened with warm
water, the free and active oxygen
which thereby becomes released not
only bleaches the skin but thorough
ly disinfects as we'll. The person
afflicted with discolered skin and
wishing to obtain that creamy white
skin SO 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 COM
plexion and skin.
