Renewing Compilations
by Absorption

If your complexion is marred with
blotches, sallowness, moth patches,
pimples, blackheads or freckles, it's
useless to putter with powders and
paints, jellies, creams and things. I'm
less you have some ability as an artist
you'll mar your appearance still more.
The new and rational way is to take
off the complexion itself, with all it's
offensive marks. Just get an ounce of
pure mercolized wax at the druggists
and use at night same as cold cream.
Remove next morning with water and
soap. The mercolized wax absorbs the
half-dead scarf skin in flaky particles,
SO gradually no one guesses you're
treating your face-unless it be by the
result, which is truly wonderful.
there's nothing like it for restoring a
natural, healthy and beautiful COM
plexion.-Aunt Sally.

the composer to see how he was i'm

that he was making a series of ex-
traordinary and significant grimaces.
The emperor stopped and inquired
whether he and the archduke were not

idea Of how 1t should be done.

The Orjainai Fruit Gamers.

The Original Fruit Gamers.
We are indebted to Pompeii for the
great industry Of canned fruit. Years
ago, when the excavations were just
beginning, a party Of Circinnatians
found in what had been the pantry of
a house many Jars Of preserved figs.
One was opened. and they were found
to be fresh and good. Investigation
showed that the figs had been put into
Jars in heated state, an aperture left
for the steam to escape and then seal
ed with wax. The hint was taken. and
the next year fruit canning was In
troduced into the United States. the
process being identical with that In
vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago.

1913, and that for 1909 was 141. The

The First Society Of Authors.

The First Society Of Authors.
A society for the protection Of au-
thors was founded as long ago as 1875.
Authors themselves were not mem
hers Of the society. which was insti-
tuted for their benefit by noblemen
and gentlemen. who subscribed gum
cas- annually in addition to an en-
trance fee OF 10 guineas.
Their purpose. as defined by them
selves. was Ito assist authors in the
publication and to secure to them the
entire profits Of their own works.
that Is to say. they published books.
but took no fees for doing so. They
were amateurs. however. engaged in
trade in competition with profession
ais. and their enterprise was unsuc-
cessful. The society was wound up In
1749. and the balance in hand GEO 1851
was presented to the Founding hospi-
tal.-Londou Author.
