Popularity Of Cinema Halls,

London, Nov 3.-The heated contro-

the last two weeks over the representa-

For some years the American companies

fered acutely from the odor Of my per-

thing to stop 1t, but | didn't know it
would ruin my complexion"
This was the pitiful story she told
her physician. She had used some as
tringent powerful enough to contract
the pores and stop perspiratiOn, with
the result that the body could not throw
off impure matter through the pores,
and this impurity went back into the
system and broke out in pimples and
large sore. eruptive boiis.
Never try to stop perspiratiOn. The
more you perspire the more impurity is
leaving your system, and your COM
pleXion should be clearer.

Use HID. 1t Is a pure, dainty, cream
deodorant, nothing more. 1t never clogs
