For Chapped, B|cttby,
Red or Wl.inkled Skin
(From Family Physician.

Do you realize that just beneath that
coarse, rough or discolored complexion
there's an exquisitely beautiful skin of
youthful tint and delicacy? If you could
only bring this complexion to the sur
face, discarding the old one! You can
in the easiest simplest, most natural
manner imaginable. Just get an ounce
of ordinary mercolized wax at any drug
store, apply nightly like cold cream, re-
moving it mornings with warm water.
The wax assists Nature by gradually
taking off the lingering particles of
dead and half-dead surface skin. caus-
ing no discomfort whatever. Ordinarily
1T takes from a week to 10 days to COM
plete the transformation. Cutaneous
defects, like chaps, pimples, blotches,
liver spots, moth patches, freckles, of
course disappear with the old skin.
Nothing else that l know of will accom-
plish such wonderful results in so short
a time.
Fine lines and even the deeper wrink-
les often appear at this season. In
such cases nothing is better than a face
bath made by dissolving / OF. powdered
saxolite in " pint witch hazel. This is
remarkably effective.

The democratic executive committee of
hale county met in the courthouse
here on Wednesday morning. The plur-

niittee with respect to the qualifica-
tions for those participating in the pri-

ton of the abolition or retention of

tatives from this county in the legisla-
ture The court was created by the leg
islature in 1911 and Charles e. Wal
Ter was appointed to the judgeship by
the governor. One of the planks in the

the legislature, Lee M. Otis, advocates
the abolition of the court. 1t is expect
ed that a warm fight will be waged. In

ARE FRAMING ORDINANCE
TO REQUIRE REPORTS ON
ACCIDENTS AND AFFRAYS

There is no ordinance on the statute
books of the city at the present time that
requires hospitals and ambulance drivers
to make reports to the police of all un-
usual incidents and therefore al times
it is hours before the police department
hears of an accident. 1t is stated that
many cases of attempted suicide never
come to the attention of the police, be-
cause the hospitals make no reports of
the patients taken in. Physicians are
also said to be careless about report
ing accidents or the injuries received in
affrays or automobile accidents. At times
local infirmaries have positively refused
information to the local police, claim
ing that there was no law requiring them
to divulge information in regard TO any
of their patients. 1t is to cover such
cases that ordinance of the widest
scope will be drafted and passed by the
city commission in the near future
George Ward, president of the commits
sion, will be sponsor for it.
