To Have Perfect Skin
Throughout the Summer
From the Guide to Beauty.

These days the face neck. arms, and
hands need special care and attention.
Flying dust and dirt. the beating sun,
are severe on any skin. Their despoiling
effects are best overcome by the applica-
ton Of pure mercolized wax. This keeps
skin and pores in a cleanly condition,
the complexion beautifully white and
spotless. Tan, freckles, blotches, and
roughened cuticle are actually absorbed
by it. One ounce of mercolized wax, OBJ
tainable at any drug store, is sufficient
to completely renovate a soiled complex
ion. 1t is used like cold cream, allowed
to remain on overnight, and washed of
in the morning.
AS the skin tends to expand in warm
weather, cheeks and chin to sag. and
wrinkles to form, a good astringent To-
tion should be used. Dissolve one ounce
powdered saxolite in one-half pint witch
hazel. Bathe the face in this mornings
or before going out for theater or social
anair IL Is a remarkable skin tig5tener
and wrinkle eraser. -

FUND STILL SHOWS DEFICIT.
Contributions to Safe and Sane
Committee StiIl Small.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Safe
and Sane Fourth of July Committee yes
terday received a check for $50 and sew
eral smaller subscriptions, there is yet
a deficit OF about $500. There have been
comparatively few answers to the ap-
peal for contributions.
Commissioner Cuno II. Rudolph. chair
man OF the committee, yesterday received
a check for $50 from the Coroy Brothers
Bakery. The total cost OF the celebra-
ton was $500. 1t has been suggested
that II all the persons who witnessed
the pyrotechnics on the Ellipse last
Thursday night would contribute a small
amount toward the fund. the defcit
would be wiped out in short order.
Subscriptions should be addressed
either to George w. White, treasurer or
the committee, at the National Metropoli-
tan Bank, or to Commissioner Rudolph
at the District Building.

There was lively response to the ad-
