HOW TO KEEP FACE
YOUNG AND ATTRACTIVE
National HygIenIc RevIew.l

(National Hygienic Review.)
The way to ward off old age is not
to fear 1t, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of advanc-
ing years. Use only legitimate pre-
ventives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not endorsed by
physicians. An entirely safe and very
effective way to keep the complexion
young-lookng and beautiful is to ap-
ply ordinary mercolized wax at bed
time, using it like cold cream, wash
ing it off in the morning. This grad
ually absorbs the withered, faded cuti-
Gle, which is replaced by the more
youthful, pink-tinted underskin One
ounce of this wax, to be had at any
drug store, is enough to completely
lejuvenate a worn-out complexion.
Wrinkles and flabbiness of cheek
and chin, the first signs of advancing
age, may be lessened by a simple,
harmless preparation made by dis
solving an ounce of powdered saxollte
in a half pint witch hazel. 1t is used
as face bath

for this purpose were provided at
once the opening of the big ditch
might find it without an operating
force.
