After Vacation Peel
Your DiScOlOred Skin

Women returning from the seaside

compilations will be wise in immedi-
ately taking up the mercolized wax
treatment. Weather-beaten skin had

the wax on before retiring, as you
would cold cream, and rinse it of next
morning with warm water. Minute
particles of scarf skin will peel off
day by day, gradually showing the
healthy, youthful skin beneath. One
ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable
at any drug store, is enough to make
any discolored or spotted complexion
clear, white and satiny soft It's action
is so gentle no injury is caused and
tie face shows no trace of it's use.
Burning heat, irritating winds and
dirt are such wrinkle-makers that the
daily use of the following astringent-
tonic lotion at this season is highly
advisable: Powdered saxolite, l o.,

a face bath this is a splendid wrinkle

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or Is pounds of healthy stay there"
fat should try eating q little Sargol
with their meals for while and note
results. Here is q good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself Then take Sargol-
one tablet with every meal-for two
weeks. Then weight and measure
again. It isn't a question Of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can cas-
lily add from five to eight pounds in
the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best OF all,
the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat.
but mixing with your food, it turns the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten. into rich, ripe fat produc.
ing nourishment for the tissues and
blood-prepares it in an easily assimi-
lated form which the blood can readily
accept. All this nOurishment now
passes from your body as waste. But
Sargol stops the waste and does II
quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones Sargol is safe, pleas
ant. efficient and inexpensive. Leo

GROSVENOR FIGHTS
OUTLAY OF FUNDS
TO CONVERT DUMP
President of w. r. I. A. Sees
More Profitable Ways of
Spending Public Money
Than for Park.

What attitude the West Side I'M
provement association will take on the
matter Of the conversion of the river
dump into park is matter of spec
ulation but its president, DR.. E. b.
Grosvenor is personally opposed to
the proposed expenditure of public
funds for the park. 1t is probable that
this matter will be brought up at the
meeting of the association next Fri
day evening.
"The administration is right in re-
fusing to issue bonds or the purchase
and improvement of that property"
said DR.. Grosvenor this morning.
That money could be spent much
more profitable to the city in other
ways, the improvement of Glen Miller
park, fo~ instance, or applying this to
fund for the purchase of Morton
park, which really amounts to some.
thing"
Not Good Investment.
II see no reason why there should
be stirred up such personal feeling
in the matter by some of the men at
the head of the agitation in the West
Side The west Side Improvement as
sociation has secured almost every
thing it has asked for from the public
officials and they didn't have to make
personal ATTACKS and threats of i'm
parchment either" said DR.. Grosve-
nor. IF a park were constructed on
the dump lot, it would not be used
any more than South Seventh street
park or North Tenth street park and
consequently would not be a good in
vestment at the present time when
there are SO many other places for the
CitV TO mt IT'S money!
A meeting will be held of the West
Side Improvement Association next
Friday evening for the election of Of
ficers for the ensuing year. Meetings
have been suspended during the sum-
mer months, the meeting next week
being the first since spring.
DR.. Grosvenor said today he would
not consent to the use of his name for
reelection as president Of the asso-
citation. He has held the office for
three years. 1t is not known who will
be proposed by the nominating COM
mittee of which George Guyer is chair
man.
1t is expected that the question of
the South Side bridge will be taken up
Within all probability recommends
tions will be made to the county COM
missioners to construct the bridge at
South H street instead of South l.,

while the Light Heat & Power COM

for an increase in these rates. This

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this Through Faded LifeIess
Locks and They Become Dark,
Glossy, Youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair which
is so attractive, use only this old-time
recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
so cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, SO evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied Besides, it takes Off dan
druff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
stand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights
the ladies with Weyth's Sage and Sui
phur is that, besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after few applications
it also brings back the gloss and lus-
ire and gives it an appearance of
abundance.
