It is the opinion OF eminent author
tiles that II women continue to re-
move superfiuous hair with these
questionable conceptions, pastes,
powders, and so-called liquid cures
which invariably cause the hair to
grow out again coarser and heavier
after each removal. that 1t is only a
question of time when we will prac-
tically have q nation OF bearded wom-

These connections and compounds
are made Of quicklime or other cheap
ingredients. which tests have proven

each removal.
If YOU do not mind the risk you take
in using them, why pay twenty-five
cents to one dollar or more for them,
when you can procure from any drug
store for five or ten cents sufficient
quantity Of the ingredients to last

preparations does not manifest itself

quent or continued use of them.
1t is surprising that anyone should
use these uncertain means for remov-
ing superfuous hair when there Is
such a thoroughly safe and logical
method as DeMiracle for removing
these blemishes. o..
Every woman must realize that
when a soft fuzz Is removed by these
So called depilatories the hair comes
back a stiff. bristly beard, which will
necessitate a much longer and more
persistent treatment with DeMiracle
than 1t would have otherwise required
If DeMiracle had been used before the
growth of hair had been stimulated
by the use Of them.
It is needless to say that there are
several methods of deception practic'
ed by the makers of these fake hail
removers. Among them are those who
resort to making extravagant and
| impossible claims in sensational ad'
vertisements. Others who publish

Thursday afternoon will witness the
starting of the musical season of 1912
In this city, when Harold Bauer will be
presented at the New National Theater
in piano recital. Mr.. Bauer was first
introduced to American audiences by
the Boston symphony Orchestra, little
more than ten years ago, and his ad-
vancement has been rapid.
During the past year his rece options
throughout Europe have been marked
by enthusiasm, and since returning to
this country several months ago the
verdict of his American audiences have
more than justified the triumphs cred
tied to him abroad. His program Thurs
day will be devoted to the music of
Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schumann, Cho-
pin. Gluck-Sgambati, and Liszt.

Modern musical history offers few
more startling examples of a rise from

Rockefeller Beaten.

John D. Rockefeller will have to
give up a tract of land adjoining his
big estate at Pocantico Hills, New
York, which he acquired recently by
outbidding the Catholic Foreign Mis-
sionary Society of New York, and
turn it over to the society, according
to decision by Supreme Court JUS
tice Keough.
The owner, Joseph Oussani, had al
ready negotiated with the society to
sell for $4,000, the testimony in the
case ran, when agents for Rockefeller,
finding that Oussanis wife had not
stgnel the contract, bought the land
and Mr.. Rockefeller took possession,
The society sued to compel the
Oussani's to keep their agreement,
and the court now rules that the con-
tract was valid and ordered the Gus
sani's to carry 1t out.
