How to Shed a Rough,
 Chapped or Blotchy Skin

This is what you should do to shed e bad complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inch of skin, a thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax. Let this stay on over night, washing # off next morning. Repeat daily until your complexion is as clear. soft and beautiful as young girls. This result is inevitable no matter how sotled or withered the complexion. The wax lit- eraIIy sabsorbs the flmy surface skin, exposing the lovely young skin be- meath. The process is entirely. harm less, so little of the old skin coming off at a. time. MercOlized wax is ob- tainab1e at any drug store; one ounce usually suffces. It's a verita.bae won der-wo-ker for rough, chapped, red- dened. blotchy, pimpleds freckled or Saliov skin.
 Pure powdered saxollte ls excellent for wrinkled skin. An ounce of tt dissolved in a half pint witch hazel makes a refreshing wash-1otion. This renders the skin quite firm and smooth; !; the finer lines; the deeper ones coon follow.

Woman's Triumph in Chicago

lege Of the ballot In Illinois,
where the fight has been hard and
fast for fifteen years, we have
just come into our own. One hun
bred and fifty three thousand
women have registered. At the
end of the month we shall cast
our first vote-in the Aldernanic
primaries. In FIVE years surely,
J perhaps sooner, the constitution
of this State will have been
amended so that women will have
equal rights with men.
Without Mr.. Hearst's wonder
full championship, without his
zeal for our cause. without his
wonderful fighting qualities exer-
cised in our behalf. we should not
be on the poll books of Chicago
to-day.
All honor, then. TO the man who
has blazed the trail for us. aud
to his dear mother. who instilled
into his heart and mind the doc
trines that he made his own when
he was yet q little boy.
