How American Women
May Keep Faces Young

THE American smart woman ages
early, far earlier than the English wo-
man. says Christian Miller, F. C. L..
the famous English health expert. She
adds that our climate so exhilarathes
that you over-exert yourselves and
grow old before you know it. That
same eXhilarating air dries the skin.
The skin that lacks moisture grows
pale and withered looking and soon
forms wrinkles.
The American complexion" is best
treated by applying pure mercolized
wax. which causes the faded. lifeless
cuticle to flake off in minute particles,
a little each day, until the fresh. young
skin beneath is wholly in evidence
Every druggist has this wax; one
ounce is sufficient Spread on at
night like cold cream, washing it off
next morning
For wrinkles. dissolve an ounce of
powdered saNolite in a half pint witch
hazel; battle the face in this. Immedi-
ately every wrinkle is affected. even
the deeper lines. Both treatments are
remarkable facial reiuvenators.

BOSTON, April LIT is we'll with
in probability that the deaf, dumb and

to help Don Jaime, the deaf and dumb

broken mother, Queen Ena, is believed

whose perseverance surmounted the
obstacles with which she was handi
capped by Nature. Queen Ena has
read great deal of Miss Keller and
has sent representative to America to
make sure that all that has been writ

desired official confirmation and will
soon make flattering offer to Miss
Keller to induce her to aid the afflict-

The particular universe of stars in
which we dwell is half again as large
in scale as the world has been suppos-
ing. Our own sun is still youthful and
keeps travelling northwardly through
space at the comparatively leisurely
pace of twelve miles per second, or
only two-thirds the average speed of
stars of its own class. The north star
is not really a single star. but triple.
consisting of three suns revolving
about a common center These are
