RECIPES FOR WRINKLES
AND BAD COMPILATIONS
(From Art and Nature)

of all the beauty recipes in my
scrap book. here are two that have al
ways given complete satisfaction;
Wrinkle Remover--One ounce pow
dered saxolite, dissolved in " pint
witch hazel. Use as wash lotion. 1t
brings instantaneous results.
Face Peeler-Pure mercolized wax,
applied at night like cold cream, only
not rubbed in. wash off in the morn
ing. 1t causes the worn out scarf
skin to come off in tiny, almost in
visible flakes. a little each day, until
the fresh young under skin is wholly
in evidence. The beautiful rose-tinted
complexion thus obtained is not to be
compared with one made over with
cosmetics. An ounce of the wax is
sufficient
