Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

A Simple Way to
Reduce Wrinkles
(From The Home Ma ker. }

Remember that wrinkles and bag
giness of cheek or chin are due to
the muscular tissue losing its strength
and shrinking. The skin is then too
large in area to fit such tissue
smoothly. 1t wrinkles or says.
To remedy this conditions, there's
nothing SO effective. so quick acting,
as a simple wash lotion easily made
at home. Get an ounce of powdered
saxo1ite at your druggists, and a half
pint witch hazel, mix the two and
battle your face in the ilquid. This at
once tightens the skin and solidifies
the underlying tissue-which, of
course, SmootheS out the lines and
draws in the sagging skin. 1t also
stimulates circulation, bringing nat
ural color to faded cheeks.
