Skin Easily Renovated

Since brown or yellow, over-red

derstand why so many continue to
wear them. Surely every woman
has heard Of mercolized wax, This
one knows-from her own and 9TH
ers' experience-will positively BAN
tsh every unsighly tint. The wax
really takes off a bad complexion.
It Gradually. harmlessly, absorbs
the thin layer of surface skin with
all its defects, as chaps, liver
spots, pimples, freckles. blackheads.
Just as gradually the discarded
skin Is replaced by the clear, white,
youthful skin underneath. Merco-
LIKED wax, procurable at any drug
store, Is applied nightly like cold
cream and erased mornings with
warm water. One ounce will pro-
duoe the loveliest girlish complex
ion In less than fortnight.
One can't understand. either, why
folks will be bothered with wrin-
kles, since the famous saxolite for
mula has become public property.
One ounce of powdered saxolite dis
solved in a half-pint witch hazel,
makes a wash lotion that will
quickly efface every line, even the

out evenings to moving pic
ture shows; then i got to
going to skating Kinks and
dances and now 1 just don't
want to stay home at all.
