] ENGLISH BEAUTY TELLS COMPLEXION SECRETS.
~>>>~~%~%~>>A~~>>A<~>>~A~S.
5e J, m A American Home

Through fortunate meeting with an English lady, noted for her dag zling compIeXion, I recently learned the full meaning of that old adage, Beauty is but skin deep" She taught me how to remove my muddy old skin, revealing the young and beautiful skin underneath. The proc ess is so simple, harmless and mex pensive, I'm sure you'll be glad to know about it. Just get an ounce of ordinary mercoized wax at any drug store and apply nightly, like cold cream, for a week or so. Every morn- ing in washing off the wax, tiny par ticles of worn-out cuticie come off, too. The action is so gentle and gradual, there's no discomfort It's a wonderful treatment. as it not only peels off the faded or discolored skin, but all of it's defects, as chaps, rough ness, freckles, pimples, blotches, blackheads.
 I am indebted to the same lady for a remarkab.e wrinklefemoving for mula. One ounce powdered saxolite is dissolved in a half pint witch haz- el. Used as a face bath, this is so effective that just one application causes the finer lines 10 disappear, and soon even the deeper ones go.

ar THE PRINCESS.

Who does not enjoy the songs of
 yesterday-the old time melodies that
 were dear to everyone-the songs of
 home and fireside the sweet melodies
 and sweeter themes of days gone by? The Village Choir" the headline act at the Princess for the last half of the week. two men and two women, gifted with voices that blend delight fully in the harmony of the old time songs, who sing for the very love of singing, and who bring back with their musical charm thoughts of by gone days, of boyhood pranks and girlhood joys and sorrows. who sing the songs of yesteryear, the songs of today and the songs of forever. Tn their quaint rural makeup and with their splendid voices this quartetta accomplished something that is en- tirely out of the ordinary at a matinee show. Thursday, at their first appear ance they stopped the show-tIhe audi ence simply would not let them go without an additional encore, not withstanding the fact that they had already answered several curtain calls. It is one of the best singing acts of a season
 The Cycling McNutts, a quintette of comic acrobatic cyclists, have much more than comedy offering to recommend them. They perform some marvellous feats on wheels, from the baby who rides bicycles and turns somersaults like grown up, to the older members of the party who offer some new and startling stunts in bicycle riding and in balanc- ing. Without doubt they bring the biggest and best act of the kind of the pTesen season.
 The Musical Geralds, a team of splendid instrumental musicians, stag ing their act in Mexican costume and with Mexican scenic surroundings, have another mighty big offering. They play large number of instru- ments, including the world renowned feat of playing thirty-four mandolins at the same time. This is the only instrument of the kind in the world and is played only by the Geralds.
 Joe Hardman, dispenser of humoc- ous compounds, is a merry jester, monologist who puts over his stuff in just the right manner to please his audience. He has a merry line of batter that never fails to please.
 Miss Iza Hampton and company ih their humorous sketch, "The Woman Of Tomorrow" anticipate woman's freedom by 100 years and bring a very laughable conception of the sta tus of the human family one hun dred years hence.
 The bill is splendid balanced vaudeville offering. One of the kind that pleases all.

Nogales, Ariz.-News of a great dis
aster to the Constitutionalist forces

tives of the rebels left behind at No
gales, Mexico, by Gen. Carranza.
Dispatches to them say that a force
Of $500 men which attacked Mazatlan
under Gen. Juan carrozco has been
annihiIated.
Gcn. Carrozco led his army into the
suburbs of the city and endeavored to
storm the strongholds of the Federal
forces who had long been besieged
there.
The Huerta leaders, however, had
made preparations for just such an
emergency. They had placed their
forces and iRtrenched themselves in
such fashion as to get the attacking
army into a trap. When they were
ready they sprung it
AS a consequence the dispatches
say, only twenty-five men of the Con-
s-titutionalists came out, the others
being put to death or captured.
1t is also said that the Federals have

fall, and announcement was made re-

leaders to take an army through the
territory of Topic and march on Mex

SURPRISED bv Gods FaIthfuIness.

Amusement and shame are often
among the emotion-experiences OF ever
the mature Christian-amazement be-
cause of wonderfully answered prayer
and the kept promises of our Heavenly
Father, and shame because Of this
amazement. Again and again the glo-
rious surprises come, that ought not
to surprise US as r~evealings Of Gods
love. and again and again the shame
because of the doubt of God that help
ed to make the blessing somewhat I'M
expected. Some of US are far o
ready to accept, without wonder. q
sending that we call a trial, than we
are to receive, without amazement. a
gift that more than fulflls a long
cherished desire. But God would have
us count upon him to do more than we
can ask or think. Our surprise when
we get personal evidence that God is
as good as his word comes from doubts
that really make 1t harder than 1t
needs to be for God to fulfill his pur-
poses for US and through US. May ev-
cry one of us be set free from the
shame OF surprise at Gods faithful
ness.-Sunday School Times

TO CHRISTIAN LIFE
Words of the Savior Were "FoI-
low Thou Me-" No Thought
of Greed or Preparation.

Now, when we say that Christianity
Is a life and not a creed. we mean
that, whether a person can read a
creed or not, whether he had been
taught it in words or not, il he sees
the Christian life, he can enter into
It and follow it.
We mean just what the Saviour
meant when he insisted upon action
instead of expression. And it is very
interesting to see. in his own person
al history, how closely he held him
self to his own statement.
Take that most pathetic
ton with the young nobleman Of
Edom So far as verbal expression
went, he and the Saviour were at one.
The young man says. almost sadly.
Il have kept the Ten Command
ments-that is, / have obeyed the
written laW-fnom my youth up"
Jesus tells him what is the one thing
which he needs.
The n thing he needs, it seems, il
action. Follow me-; do as / do: lift
up that which has fallen down. bring
comfort where there Is no comfort.
make men see and know that the
kingdom Of God is at hand"
Modern Churches Different
All the established churches, when
young men come to them who wish to
be minister OF the Gospel, say, ~Yes. IL
you will go into such and such a
school and study such and such Ian
guages and read such and such books,
and pass an examination In those
books. at the end of such and such q
time. if you believe what we wish,
we will give you a license which shall
enable you to go out and say to all
the world that the kingdom Of God Is
at hand"
But Jesus Christ took no such pre-
cautions for good grammar or for con-
sentative utterance- He found some
fishermen washing their nets. He did
not say to them learn anything" but
he said, Follow me-"
He found a man changing money at
the tax brokers stall. and he did not
say to him learn anything" but Fol
low me-"
Men Worthy of Selection.
There is not the slightest indication
that one of the IL apostles had made
any study whatever in the formulas OF
the Jewish church. or of the Christian
church that was to be. They were
simply men who, as Jesus thought.
had pluck and energy enough for the
position to which he was to appoint
them; who had followed SO far hat he
knew something about them. and
whom he therefore appointed. because
they men OF action for the emer-
gency.
And the Master is willing that his
church shall stand the test to which
he leaves fisherman. apostle. young
L0Bssnsan and KeHentzns sinner. It Is
the same test for kings and emperors
and fishermen, for preachers and
blacksmiths, for artists and dress
makers-that simple test of thistles
and vines and fg-trees.
All of them. the emperor like the
blacksmith. shall be judged by their
fruits. The fishing net and the church
will be judged by what they do. The
doctrine will be judged by the life.
The life viii not be judged by the
doctrine.-From a sermon by Edward
Everett Hale.
