VALUABLE DISCOVERY IN
COMPLEXION REAUTlFIER
(From the Home Maker.)


Because of it's peculiar power of alb
sorption, also because it serves every
emollient purpose. ordinary mercolized
wax is perhaps the most valuable
complexion beautifier discovered with
in recent years. If one uses this she
needs no toilet cream. Some use
powder afterward, but this is not ne
cessary and is inadvisable particularly
when one perspires freely. This rule
for applying mercolized wax has been
found very satisfactory Wash the
face with warm water, drying lightly.
Before thoroughly dry, anoint face and
neck with the wax, but don't rub it in.
The favorite way is to use before retir-
ing. allowing it to remain on all night
and washing it off in the morning with
warm water. All druggists have this
wax in original one-ounee packages
For the removal of a wrinkled or
fiabby condition there's nothing better
than to battle the face in a solution
made by dissolving l ounce powdered
saXolite in 4 pint witch hazel. Bene-
fetal results are quickly noticeable.
