Try This Treatment
For Hairy Growths
(Helps to Beauty

A single application of paste
made by mixing together a little now
dered delatone and water and applied
to Objectionable hairs for about 2 or 2
minutes, then rubbed off, takes with
it every trace of hair or fuzz. The
skin should then be washed to free
it from the remaining paste and IL
will be firm and spotless. This is a
quick, painless treatment, but its sue
cess depends greatly on using fresh
delatone, which can be purchased
only in original packages-Adv.

The Main Aim Is To Get Rich.

Inc MAIN Aim is 10 Get KlCh.
With how many people does the
business of life mean literally
the getting of money?
We all have dreams of philan-
thropy, perhaps, and would give
something to humanity, as well
as take from it. But with how
many of us does the idea of Civ
ing come first, and that of get
ting take second place?
Money-making is the first
great pursuit-in this country at
least. And the fact is showing
ltself up even in the colleges.
Unprecedented observers will
view the increase in the enroll
ment in the scientific depart
ments of universities as evil

spirit of commercialism has
struck deep into the thought of
the time. Young men are seek

A Million for a Domestic.

The Chicago Croesus who an
nounced that he would give ST.
600. 900 to the model domestic
who should remain in his serv-
ice until her ministrations should
be no longer required, has solv-
ed the long vexatius servant
girl problem.
He is said to be receiving enor-
NOUS quantities of letters offer
ing faithful and continuous ser
vice. and this goes to show that
domestics can be secured by one
having the genius and the mon
ey.
All that the servant girls have
needed is proper encouragement
and showing Of appreciation.
The family that expects a serv-
ant girl to keep the home life
healthy and happy, while effac-
ing herself, and all for a paltry
SO or 81 a week, is expecting too
much.
The Chicago Croesus has set
a new pace. He gets offers by
the ton, and is afforded an al
most infinite field for selection.
Men have millions to spend in
yachting, automobiling, horse
racing, philanthropizing and end
less other fads. Why should
they not spend a million once in
"A while servant-girlizing?
A really good, staying domes-
tic counts more for a family's
real happiness than all the
yachts and automobiles combin-
ed. Then what is there erratic
in offering 81 100000 for do
mestic who will serve satisfac-
torily and stay as long as want
ed? Nothing. 1t is a most SEN
sible offer.
The promise of million throws
a glamor over an existence that
heretofore has been deemed alb
solutely barren of romance as
well as profit.
If this Croesus' example is not
permitted to perish but is fol-
lowed by others and made the
rule, the troublesome servant
girl problem will pass away as
