A New Face Without
Surgical Skin Peeling

The surgical operation of face peeling
Is too radical, too often dangerous.
There's a better way of removing offen-
sive compilations and one that is entirely
safe and rational. Ordinary mercolized
wax causes the devitalized scarf skin to
come off, but gradually and gently. Tn
like the surgical process, the skin is not
forcibly taken off in big pieces all at
once. but almost invisible flaky parti-
cles are absorbed by the wax, and about
two weeks are required to complete the
transformation. There's no pain, no dis
comfort.
Nature renews compilations the same
way. shedding tiny cutaneous scales day
by day. But deficient circulation, or
other abnormal condition, may interfere
with the shedding-a bad complexion
results Then mercolized wax assists
Nature by Fastening the removal of the
aged, faded or discolored top skin.
Thus only the lively, young, healthy
hued skin is in evidence. as in robust
girlhood. This is why mercolized wax
produces the indescribable beauty of
ever-renewing youth. The wax is put on
at night like cold cream, and washed off
in the morning. You can procure 1T at
any druggists; an ounce is sufficient

world and more of our Creator and last end. Generally the self satisfied worIdling forgets God and the true purpose for which he was created. Sometimes he send a sorrow to break the shack1es of sensuality and strengthen the power of the Spirit. These aff1iction dispensatfons of God are as necessary as the bitter medi- cine is to the sick child;' as the surgi- cal operation to the diseased frame.
 As the mother who loves her child best will administer the better draught or hold with her own hands the struggling arms of her while the surgeon applies the lancet, even though all the time her heart is tor ,tured: So the Eeterna1 Father grieves for the necessity which compels Him to send us pain and sorrow either as fcation fou our souls. We are called and appointed to suffer,C(' says St. Paul. This is the lot of the Saint and the sinner.
 t'As gold and silver are purified and tested by fire so are holy souls cast betimes into the furnace of affiction for their spiritual refinement and pro gress.
 This is the record of the patriarchs and prophets and that long line of confessors, virgins and martyrs who spent themselves and were spent in labor and suffering for God.
 We cannot hope to aspire to the perfection of Job or Ignatius or St. Theresa We are not called upon to seek disappointm ents, sickness, pow erty or want. Nature alters evil un- der any form. It is but natural that we should hold them dn repugnaIrce and reluctance. Yet what is expected of us-is Christian fortitude and patti ence.
 We should not rebel against the perhaps as a just reinstatement of our sin, For, if we are stockholders in any special sin it is but meet and just that our share in dts punishment. Therefore, in sickness as in health; in adversity as in prosperity; in pain chastentng hand of God who is con verting these evils into blessings for us. Sinners.
 Sinner.
 While Christ as our Judge and Re deemer must cf1astize the evi1-doer yet as our physician He heals the sick soul He plunges us one by one into the healing pool of tribuIation for the cleansing of the disease that is special to us Perhaps our fever is pride and vain glory. He send1on1e humiliation to reduce us our smiling pride and make us humble of heart. Perhaps our tongue has been unjust and un- kind to others. He permits the arrow of calurnny to pierce our own reputa- tion. Perhaps you have made a, per verse use of your health, wealth or personal charms. He thrusts on a bed of sickness that body which has been polluted with unhallo owed grati- fcation, so permits a financial crisis to come to the man who has made mammon his God. Thus the divine visitations are both penal and puri- flying in their purpose and 1t is sins.
