FLAGSTAFF COMING ALIVE

The present year promises great things for Flagstaff. For some time the business men and others of the city have evidenced a spirit of progressiveness and advance ment that speaks volumes for our future as city. Several new moves have been made for the up- building of the town and the advancement of the surrounding country. Regardless of who we are or where we come from, or what our interests may be, every one is willing to take hold and aid all in his power to accomplish that which will aid in making Flagstaff the metropolis of north ern Arizona. We all realize that there is a future before us-it remains for us to develop the re- sources at our command. This is in part making opportunity. Ii is a privilege to be of use and service in the laying of a founda- ton upon which we, as we'll as those to follow, may build.
 The need of Flagstaff at present is proper presentation of its most excellent opportunities and unsur- passed climate as summer resort.
 That get-to-gether spirit that makes us all enjoy the other fellows prosperity.
 That anxiety which reaches out to take hold of a proposition that will benefit the town generally--a wide-awake board of trade and a first class realty company.
 The good roads movement IS one of the essential elements in building up a good feeling and cooperative spirit among all the people.
 Establishment of the northern Arizona auto high line via Flag staff is the stepping stone to a greater Flagstaff. That's what we all want.
 Then the advertising of this section in a way that will bring summer visitors to us is the second stepping stone to greater Flag staff.
 The establishment of summer camp city is very much needed to accommodate those who want to spend the heated term up here.
 Let's all boost Now Keep it up all the time.

Doctor Tells How to
Shed Bad Complexion

We cannot restore degenerated
facial tissue any more than we can
restore lost limb. II is useless to
attempt TO convert a WORKOUT com
pleXiOn into a new one. The ra
tiOnal procedure is to remove the
complexion instead-remove the de-
vitaliZed cuticle. Not by surgical
means, however as the underlying
cults is too thin, too tender, to with
stand immediate exposure. Apply
ing ordinary mercolized wax will
gradually absorb the offending cuti-
&c. BY degrees, a new youthful skin
appears: a skin soft and dcliCately
tinted as a rose petal.
No lady need hesitate TO try this.
Procure an ounce OF mercOlizcd wax
of the druggist. Spread on thin
layer before retiring, removing this
in the morning with soap and water.
In from one to two weeks the com
plexion is completely transformed.
An improved treatment for wrin-
kles is provided by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half
pint witch hazel. Bathing the face
in the solution brings prompt results.
