Removes BIackheadS
In Few Minutes

vaIeska suratt, Famed as the Great
est Self M ads Beauty Actress, Tells
10 the Boston American Her Won
derfuily Effective Way to Remove
1Iackheads and Pimples, and Gives
New Shampoo Secret.
'It is possible to get rid OF black
heads in only few minutes time. The
use of blood tonics and creams I have
found a waste of time and money. This
will remove blackheads absolutely and
surely: Sprinkle some neroxin on a
hot, wet sponge. and rub this on the
blackheads for few moments. Then
wash the face and see the difference.
The neroxin will cost fifty cents at the
drug store
80. "a good shampoo is abso-
lutely necessary to hair health. Ordi-
nary soap does not remove all the
scurf. grease and grit which form a
film on the scalp and take away the
vitality Of the hair. Dissolve a tea
spoonful of eggol In half cup OF hot
water, and you will have the finest
cleansing shampoo you nave ever used.
Your hair will be easier to do up. too,
than after using soap and other sham
poos. Eggol viii lcost you twenty five
cents at the drug store, and for this
amount you will have enough eggol for
over dozen luxurious shampoos.
you will get rid of pimples
very quickly by taking one or two tea
spoonfu!s, after meals. of mixture Of
twelve ounces OF sugar, one ounce of
sarsene and a pint of water. Get the
sarsene at the drug store, by the ounce.

Football Proves Greatest Money Maker
of All COLLEGE Sports.


To any one who has seen even one
of the minor fall contests upon the
gridiron it will not be surprising to
learn that football is the greatest
money maker among all the college
sports. The profits in any other field
are comparatively negligible. and the
football surplus each year helps TO
make up some of the deficit that re-
suits from maintaining Improbable
athletics. It's reported that Harvard $
receipts from football last year were
s114S64. of which sS4,713 represented
clear profit. while Princeton received
$67,3l3 and achieved neat profit OF
$32,S22. These are gains of which any
professional athletic enterprise might

less abbreviated than that in Whlcn
football has to make its money
/ SO ii is scarcely surprising that the
athletic authorities Of the college re-
gard football as their most important
sport But the game holds that pres
tiee not merely because Of the fine
showing made by its financial baRHce
sheet 1t seems rather that the large
income is to be attributed to the pres

and unique game. 1t occupies HELD
