It's Easy to Peel Of
 All Your Freckles
CFrom American HomeJ

The contrast between the freckles and the clear skin usually is so great that no bleach can be more than par tially successful in obliterating the disbursements. Ordinary mercolized wax is far better; it literally peels off the freckles. Get an ounce of 1t at the nearest drug store and tonight spread on enough to completely cover your face. remove in the morning with warm water. Repeat daily until every freckle has disappeared
 Rough. blotchv, pimped skin, also common at this season. may be en- tireIy gotten rid of by this same metGod. without discomfort or incon- venienee. The effort is decidedly worth while the new complexion obtained being so clear, smooth and youthful. If bothered with wrinkles, after wash ing off the mercolized wax bathe the face in lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel

OBSERVING PASSOVER.
Services Began Monday in Two Nor.
 wioh Synagogues,

With services Monday evening insthe two synagogues in this city, orthodox Hebrews began the observance of the eight days of the Feast of the Passover. Beginning from Monday evening all devout Hebrews abstain from the use of leayened bread for the eight days of the feast. The synagogue services are also continued today.
 The Feast of the Passover the oldest in the Jewish calendar goes back 5.sV0 years and it's agricultural significance is shown in the phrase that it is to be kept in the month of ripenings," when, in Palestine, the barley sown in the winter had become ripe and when an offering, consisting of an omer of bar ley, was brought in gratitude to the giver of all good. It's historical signifl- canoe has overshadoved it's sgricul- tUral aspect, as it is the festival of freedom 10 the Jew, commemoratIng as it does the emancipation of Israel from Egyptian bondage.
