How She Acquired
/" "Feminine Charm"

4 niceiy-dressed woman sat beside me
in the tEain- EEsryone stared Al her: y
was not her beauty OF feature that held
our eyes. nor her costume But there was
something about her. face and expression
Il risked II and asked: Would you mind
telling me how you keep your complexion
so dszZlingly pure? Don't think me I'm
pertinent, but you seem over 20 yet
haven't a line in your face, and your
cheeks are quite peach-like. How do you
do it?''
Laughing, she said: That's easy: I re-
move my skin. Sounds shocking doesn't
it? But listen. Instead of cosmetics I
use only pure meFcoliZed wax procurabie
at any druggists. I apply this nightly,
like cold cream, washing il OF mornings.
This gently absorbs the soiled, weather
beaten fllm-skin, without pain or discom-
fort, thus revealing the fresh, clear under
skin. Every woman has beautiful COM

ward of wrinkles use q face bath made

thought so. I'm now trying her plan and

LATN-AMERICAN TRADE
In STATE OF WAITING
Official Conference Delays Plans for
Development, Pending Shipping Bill
and Reserve Boards Status.

A conference Of South and Central
American diplomats and consular officers
with representatives OF the importing and
exporting concerns of the United States
and the Pan-American Union was called
to order yesterday. Secretary of State
Bryan resigned the chair to Secretary OF
Commerce Redfeld. The conference lasted
all day.
The consensus Of opinion was that pend
ing the passage of the shipping bill and
the formal Inauguration of the Federal
Reserve Board little could be done toward
the development Of South and Central
American commerce. 1t was pointed out
by the diplomats that South and Central
America are in grave need of immediate
aid.
clsrepA Owen, of the Southern Com
merclal Congress, explained that with the
Federal Reserve Board still in a forma-
tive state, il was impossible to discuss
plans. A committee of seven will be ap-
pointed by Secretary Redfeld to meet
later on with another committee OF seven
New York exporters and importers.
