Englishwomen's
Beautiful Compilations

There is no nation in which the
women live as sanely as do the Eng
lish and there is no nation in which
the skins are as fair and clear. Under
perfect, natural conditions a we'll bal
anced life would guarantee a beauti-
full and healthy skin. But the ordinary
social and economic American life of
today forces the system to furnish so
much vital force for action that nerves,
eyes and compilations all suffer. In adj
dition to this strain many women
further abuse their skin by covering
it with -clogging powder instead
of doing the wise thing-that is, using
a lotion which protects and smooths,
without choking the pores.
The reason compilations suffer so
much in summer is because powder
does not offer sufficient protection
against the hot SUM- A plain spur
max lotion not only safeguards the
skin from the elements, but in itself is
a beautifier of great worth. To pre-
pare this lotion at home. dissolve
ounces spurmax from druggists in 1-2
pint hot water Cor witch hazeD and
add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. This ap-
piled to the skin becomes invisible and
imparts a velvety softness and dainty
tint to a rough, faded skin, relieving
that shiny, oily appearance, and it's
use will insure a clear, lovely COM

give him Father Johns Medicine. We
believe that Father Johns Medicine
