How She Discarded
Unsightly Complexion

How often exclaimed as I beheld my
ugly complexion in the mirror, 'If I only
could tear off this old skin"' And do you
know. I've learned how to do that very
thing? Not to actually remove the entire
skin all Of a sudden; that would be too
The worn-out cuticle comes off in such
tiny particles, and so notwithstanding
about ten days to complete the transforma-
uon-it doesn't hurt bit. Day by day the
beautiful complexion underneath comes
forth. Marvellous! No matter how muddy,
rough, blotchy or aged your complexion, you
can surely discard It by this simple process.
Just get an ounce Of ordinary mercOlized
wax at your druggists, apply nightly like
cold cream, washing It off mornings.
Ny wrinkles I got rid Of by an equally
simple method. By dissolving an ounce OF
powdered saxolite in half-pint witch hazel
and bathing my face in the solution, every
line completely disappeared. First the finer
lines, finally even the deep crows feet
vanished entirely.-Mona Morrow in Town

SAYS RESTRAINT OF STATES
WOULD HELP PREVENT w

Somerville, Mass, Dec. 1O.-Rather
than increase the army and navy, for
mer president Taft declared in an ad-
dress Wednesday night before the Hep
tOrean club that the best way to pre-
vent war between the United States and
a foreign power would be to authorize
congress to prevent states from VIC
lating treaties with foreign countries.
THE only real possibility Of a war
that L can foresee is in the Wanton,
reckless or wicked willingness on the
part OF a narrow section of the country
TO crafty prejudice and class hatred
by flagrdut breach Of treaty rights IN
the form of state law, or by laWless vtO-
lence," he said.
