It's Easy to Peel Off
 Your Tan or Freckles


 This is what you should do to shed a spoiled complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inch of skin, a thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax. Let this stay on over night; wash 1t off next morning. Repeat daily until your com plexion is as clear, soft and beauti- ful as a young girls; This result Is in evitable, no matter how soiled or dis aiiy peels off the filmy surface skin. ex- posing the lovely young skin beneath. The process Is entirely harmless, so lit- tie of the old skin coming off at a time. Mercolized wax is obtainable at any drug store: one ounce usually suffices. It's veritable wonder-worker for rough, tanned, reddened. blotchy. pim- p1ed or freckled skin.
 Pure powdered saxolite is excellent for a wrfnkled skin. An ounce of 1t dis solved in half pint witch hazel makes refreshing wash-lotion. This renders the skin quite firm and smooth; indeed. the very first application erases the finer lines; the deeper ones soon follow.

Coroner Says Full Report Will Be Made on StOm-
 ach of Mrs. Fields

It will be at least five more days be- fore there will be a complete chemist s report on the contents of the stomach of Mrs. Nancy Fields, said Coroner Charles L.

However I understand the sheriff's forces are busy gathering up evidence against Isaac Fields, the &C., cused husband.'
 At the county Jail it is stated thas Fields. the farmer of Brookside, who is alleged to have poisoned his wife last Monday night still retains his nonchalant attitude. He appears to be perfectly con- fident that no case will be made out against him.
