To Have Complexion
That Men Admire

A man may admit, with great
sophistication, that powder and
rouge are necessary aids to beau
ty, yet deep in his heart he
dreams of the woman whose love-
illness needs no artificial touching
up. Women who appreciate this,
who give consideration to the
masculine viewpoint, avoid using
that might indicate
their beauty is not all their own.
Such women in increasing num-
Der are acquiring the mercolized
wax habit. By applying the wax
at night as they would cold
cream, washing it off in the
morning, they secure, and main
tain, entirely natural complex
ions. Their faces exhibit no evil
dence of having been "beautified. "
Nothing is added to the old COM
plexion-the latter, instead, is
discarded. Mercolized wax, pro-
durable at any drug store-an
ounce will do-absorbs the de-
vitalized outer skin, gradually,
almost imperceptibly. The fresh,
clear, satiny upderskin which
appears, bears a healthy, youth
full bloom not comparable with
the fixed artificial color. Advt.

The Boulder store operates on
the simple system of buying direct
from the producer and manufac-
,turer at wholesale prices, adding
10 per cent for operating expenses
and selling to it's stockholders at
that price. Every article is mark
ed with both cost and selling price.
An inducement is held out to
non-stoekholders to trade at the
store by selling them goods at a
slight discount from current re-
tail prices.
BY this plan the stakeholder
gets his dividend every time he
makes a purchase. II there is a
surplus growing out of the profits
from the trade of non-stockhold-
ers, this also is divided and makes
AN additional profit to the own
