There's no excuse for any woman

found that a simple mixture of
saxOlite and witch hazel has a re-

anyone can easily make and use at

The proportions are one ounce

you advised someone to in
vest their money in same in

A.-The theory upon which the
postal savings bank Is based Is to
teach the value of small econom-
les; to induce and enable the peo-
pie to get something ahead; TO
make them independent of the
harsh eNactions of the credit sys-
tenn and to relieve them of a con-
dition that Is often moneyless.
These banks are I'm the postof-
fices and are there for reasons to
deposit small sums OF money. IL

London, Sept. 11.-A warning to
the public against over-confidence as
result of reports of the German
retreat in France is made today by
the Times. 1t says:
"There is no great change in the
characteristics of the great battle rag
ing in France. The slow, steady pres
sure of the allies still is thrusting
back the Germans, who still are re-
firing, but they are fighting over
every mile with dogged persistence.
''The British troops have crossed
the Marine river from the south, thus
regaining much of the ground which
they were forced to give up a week.
ago. The Germans have suffered Sc
verely.
"Thus, so far as a general view is
possible at the moment, all goes well,
but over-confident expectations of the
final result are still misplaced. The
French ministry of war at Bordeaux,
with wise caution, has issued a. warn
ing that it would be we'll not to an
ticipate the final result.
"The battle is now extending over
a front nearly 200 miles in extent"
