mercolized wax Is perhaps the most
valuable complexion beautifier. dis

uses this she needs no toilet cream.
some use powder afterward, but this
is not necessary and i5 inadvisable
particularly when one perspires
freely. This rule for applying mer-
colized wax has been found very
satisfactory: Wash the face with
warm water, drying lightly. Be-
fore thoroughly dry. anoint face
and neck with the wax. but don't
rub II in. The favorite way is to
use before retiring allowing II to
remain on all night and washing IL
off In the morning with warm wa
ter. All druggists have this wax
in original one-ounce packages.
For the removal of q wrfnkIed or

better than to bathe the face in a
solution made by dfssolving l ounce
powdered saxolite in X pint witch
hazel. Beneficial results are quick

charges to be groundless. The
President spoke with evident emo

ject, grew red in the face with an
ger.
"If l had consulted my own wish, -
