A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a disadvan-
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, if she can avoid these hate
full marks of advancing age? Few
women, however. know what TO do to
effectually rid themselves Of wrinkles
or sagginess. Most of the advertised
preparations are unsatisfactory and
very expensive. But a very simple
and harmless home remedy, which
any woman can make, will work won
ders where all the patent prepara-
tions fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in a half pint of witch hazel
and use as a wash lotion. The re-
suits are practically instantaneous.
Marked improvement is noticed inn
mediately after the very first trial.
Wrinkles and sagging are corrected
and the face feels so refreshed and
smug-like.

every other game played this year the
contest has been nip n tuck through
out, and the Graingrowers nave been
right behind the other team or in the
lead part of the way. In every other
game the locals have landed a nice
bunch of runs at least. Not so yes

That blue clad bunch of pill swat

auspices OF Lefty" Davis, sure hand

season. When the operation was over

itors on an adding machine. and an
nounced that they had crossed the
home plate eleven times to once for
the G~raingrOwers.
Winona got twelve hits off the local
pitchers, and the home team got six
hits off Pitcher Snow. But those
twelve hits are much worse than they
look comepared with the locals hits.
for three OF the Winona hits were
home runs, and one Of those home runs
came with two men on bases In the
sixth, and another with n man on
the bags, in the seventh.
Manager Unglaub used two pitchers

seventh, and Watkins replacing him
in that inning. The visitors got seven
hits off Klontz, and five off watkins.
