ABSORBS OLD SKIN
(From The Feminine World)

The quickest and surest way to
make a good complexion out of q bad
one is to actually remove the thin veil
of faded or discolOred outer skin.
This can be done easily, safely and
privately by process of gentle alb
sorption.
Get an ounce of pure mercolized
wax from your druggist and apply At
night like cold cream, washing 1t off
in the morning. In a few days the
wax will have absorbed the disfigur-
ing cuticle, revealing the fresh young
skin underneath: you will have q
beautiful, clear, natural complexion.
The face will look brilliantly attrac-
tive and youthful. This also effectual
ly removes freckles, moth patches,
liver spots, pimples, etc. Every wo-
man should keep a little mercolized
wax on hand, as this simple, old-fash-
toned remedy Is the best complexion
beautifier and preserver known.

A Conscientious Jury


On one occasion native in Kali.
Hawaii. cheated a neighbor out Of a
small sum Of money. The community
was indignant and determined that the
guilty party should be punished. The
day Of the trial came; the testimony
was conclusive: the judge closed his
charge. reminding the jury that 1T
takes nine to convict" for a three
fourths majority was required instead
Of a unanimous jury. 1t was thought
that the twelve might decide in the
box. but the Hawaiian likes form. and
they gravely withdrew to the jury
room. They were gone an unconscion-
able time. At length the judge. impa-
tent. sent to find out what in the
world was the matter and discovered
this predicament: All twelve were for
conviction, and no three could be in
duced to vote for the defendant.

popular vaudeville house.
The Hines-Kimball Troupe who
open the show, are a wonderful troupe
OF acrobats. These five people three
good looking young ladies and two
men are considered one of the best
acts Of the kind in the business and
this season will be one of the main
features with the famous Ringing

an easy manner and in such a way
that the hardest are made to look
easy.
Madell and Corbley, eccentric mus
ical act are one of the hits of the bill.
As character performer the lady
member of the team deserves to rank
well up with those engaged in this
line of work. She makes several
quick changes and acceptably fills the
role of each character she is called up
on to portray. The sketch is easily
one of the best acts of the kind ever
seen at the Murray and one of tho
high class acts now travelling on this
circuit.
