Valuable Discovery in
Complexion Beautifier
(From the Homo Maker.l }

Because of its peculiar power of
absorption. also because it serves
every emolient purpose, ordinary mer-
colized wax is perhaps the most val
liable complexion beautifier discovered
within recent years. II one uses this
she needs no toilet cream. Some use
powder afterward, but this is not
necessary and is iuadvisable particu-
larly when one perspires freely. This
rule for applying mercolzed wax has
been found very satisfactory: Wash
the face with warm water, drying
lightly. Before thoroughly dry, anoint
face and neck with the wax, but don't
rub it in The favorite way is to use
before retiring, allowing it to remain
on all night and washing il off in the
morning with warm water. All drug
gists have this wax in original one
ounce packages.
For the removal of a wrinkIed or
fabby condition there's nothing better
than to bathe the face in a solution
made by dissolving 1 ounce powdered
saxolite IN 1-2 pint witch hazel Benz
6cial results are quickly noticeable.

uons than the revised Pe-ru-na. On
the other hand. the revised Pe-ru-na
is a better remedy for some conditions
than Ka-tar-no. They are both in
tended as catarrh remedies. They
have both done a great work in re-
liewng catarrh, chdlic and acute.
Many hundreds Of cases Of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka-tar-no and the same Is true Of the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last six
years since its revision.
There is a difference. however, in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed. this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed. where
the bowels are regular or inclined to
be loose. then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-
tar-nol is the better remedy.
The revised Pe-ru-na is for sale at

across Yellow river at Pierce street.

and the Marshal was hurried to
the scene of the trouble. From the
complaint entered the Mayor got
the idea that a cement sidewalk be-
longing to private property was be-
ing torn up, and private rights
trampled on In a ruthless manner.
All it was found to be was that the
men were tearing out the old
rotten wooden approaches to the
old bridge, so as to clear the way
to get the new abutments in The
concrete mixer is being overhauled,
more gravel is delivered, and the
men are busy clearing away the
trash and digging the place for the
foundation work to be started
VanSkyhawk & Knoblock of Bre-
men have the contract for the abut-
ments, and will rush the work with
all possible speed, once they get
started.

Mrs. Hand Gets Insurance.

1t will be remembered that some
few months ago, John Hand of De-
long, was so badly burned by start
ing fire with gasoline that he
died. He had a policy with the
American Central Insurance Com
pany for 100000. Being away
from home at the time the premium
was due, In one way and another
he neglected to send in the prem
ium money, and died one afternoon
about four O'Clock, the limit of
time being up at noon of that day.
There was considerable talk about
the matter at the time, as the
widow was left with some depend
ent children, and needed the money
badly. Those who sympathized
with her at the time, will be graft
fed. to learn that the policy has been
paid to her.
