coming week, after about three months
of retirement. When the vessels went
into winter quarters a freeze was looked
for, but though it did not come and the

the next two weeks all the laid-up craft

WARMING TO PARENTS.

1t is risky to feed raw milk
and cream TO children or inva-
lids unless you are sure that at
the farm which produces h
milk the utmost cleanliness Is
observed at all times. particu-
larly during milking: that the
employees are thoroughly healthy
and clearly persons. that the
cows are free from diseases,
that the water used for rinsing
is Of undoubted purity, and that
the milk is quickly cooled and
kept cold and covered until de-
livered to you.
Raw milk often produces tu-
berculosis. scarlet fever, also
typhoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infec-

Success had turned the heads even

Doctors Boyish Face
Reveals Skin Remover

l heard the other day the story of
the physician with so admirable a
skin that all his women patients ask
ed the secret. He told one, who gen.
erously told others, that, knowing the
remarkable absorbent property of or
binary mercolized wax, he concluded
this substance would make an excel
lent complexion renewer and preserv-
er. Knowing the wax could not harm
the skin, he began using it after
shaving. He soon observed that the
old, withered, colorless cuticle was
being gradually absorbed and replac-
ed by younger, healthier skin. This
was the simple secret of the silver
haired doctor with the boyish face.
The secret became public property.
Now women everywhere use mercoliz-
ed wax, applying it nights like cold
cream, washing it off mornings-con-
tinuing until the complexion is entire
~ renovated. An ounce of this wax,
procurable at any druggists, will ban
ish the worst complexion.
Another valuable rejuvenator used
by this doctor was a wrinkle-remover
and preventive in the form of a face
bath, made by dissolving an ounce
of saxolite in a half-pint witch hazel
This also has become famous.-Au-
relia in Fashion Review.
