How to Absorb an
Old Complexion
(From Popular Monthly

(From Popular Monthly
A girl signing herself discouraged"
writes she has tried everything" for
her coarse, horrid, muddy complex
ion" and asks, rs there no really ef-
fective remedy?"
Doctoring your complexion with
stuff that comes out of jars and bot
ties is liable to make it worse. The
surest way to Danish bad complexion
is to remove it. Ordinary mercolized
wax (get an ounce at your druggist's)
will do this. Apply at night like cold
cream; wash off in the morning. The
wax absorbs the old skin, revealing
the clear, soft, healthy. and beautiful
skin underneath. Naturally all sur
face defects go, too, as pimples, blotch-
es, liver spots, freckles and black
heads. The treatment causes no dis
comfort; no one can tell you are using
it, the cuticle coming off SO gradually

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
natural echo in the world is to be
heard by the side of a small lake in
Bavaria. On one hand rises a perpen-

dense forest. If a pistol Is fired on

Good Joke Wasted.

There is such a thing as being too
clever. Lawyer Towns, whose long
famous forensic effort was flour
ished In the interest OF Valet Brandt,
knows it from experience. Like this:
In the course of a court address
the other day his tongue slipped and
he named Counselor Cans as having
been in prison when he meant to say
Brandt. a.
Cans jumped to his feet in horror
and rebuked his opponent. A SIMS
ter smile played about Towns mouth
as he replied:
"Ah, yes, that was a mistake. MY
client is certainly an entirely differ
ent breed Of goose"
Nobody laughed Lawyer Towns
was surprised. He supposed every
one knew that a ''brant" is a wild
goose and also that "gans" is the
German for goose. Next time he will
explain first and spring his Joke
later. AS a matter of fact, it is very
disconcerting to have a perfectly
good joke like that go to waste.
