Mr.. c. D. streeters Testimony.


1T was my good fortune and pleas
nre to witness the moving picture
film "From the Manger to the Crosse
at the auditorium in Los Angeles on
my recent trip. Without exception
they were the finest pictures l have
ever seen, and it is impossible for a
person to realize their beauty and
grandeur until they are viewed upon
the screen. The pictures were very
plain and they teach most helpful les
sons about the Christ-life. Every per
son in Keokuk ought to see these pic
lures. Boost for this film as too much
cannot be said in its favor"
Mr.. Bland, the young English actor
who took the part of the Saviour

Recipes for Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations
TFrom 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 "a pint
witch hazel Use as a wash lotion.
Ii 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 fakes, little each day, until
the fresh young under-skin is wholly
in evidence. The beautiful rose-tint'
ed complexion thus obtained Is not to
be compared with one made over with
cosmetics. If the old skin is marred
with freckles, pimples or other blem'
ishes, these defects are of course dis
carded with the skin itself. An ounce
of the wax is sufficient in any case.
The ingredients named are mex
pensive and can be found in any drug
store.--Louise Leblanc ADV.
