HosU To Bunish
Wrinkles Quickly

II your face is disfigured with
wrinkles, no matter what the cause,
you can quickly dispel every line,
even the most obstinate, by using q
simple, homemade wash lotion. Mere
ly dissolve an ounce OF powdered
saxolite in half pint witch hazel
inexpensive Ingredients found In any
6rug store Battle the face in this,
and-presto!-you scarcely believe
your own eyes when you look into
your mirror and behold the marvellous
transformation!
The remarkable astringent action
OF the saxolite so tfghtens the skin,
wrinkles are literally pressed out.
Best OF all, this result Is not purely
temporary, for the lotion also has q
healthful tonic action. which tends to
strengthen and tone up the weakened
tissue, and added ben SIT may be ex-
pected with continued use. Use this
once a day for awhile; 1t cannot In
jure the most delicate skin, the treat.
ment eli leaves no trace-no one
guesses the secret of your increasing
youthful appearance.

LEE COUNTY CASE
HAS BEEN AFFIRMED
Judge Bank was Trial Judge and His
Decision Has Been
Upheld.

In the list of decisions by the Iowa
supreme court yesterday appears the
case of Grifiths vs.. Murray, which
was affirmed. The case was tried
year ago before Judge Henry Bank
at Fort Madison. 1t is considered an
important case in that 1t involved
large number OF new questions. 1t
was a case in which some lands In
the Green Bay district were the sub
ject of litigation.
The case involved the title OF some
real estate In the Green Bay district
north OF Fort Madison. 1t involved
the requirement OF title by adverse
possession and the question OF ac-
quiescence in boundary. Also the dis
position Of surplus land which was
attached to the property. This sur
plus came from survey OF government
lands.
The case was heard before Judge
Bank over year ago, and was con-
sidered by the parties involved and
the attorneys to be an important
case, because of the issues involved.
