A NEW PRINCIPLE IN
 COMPLEXION TREATMENT

Most creams are injurious when used habitually. They clog the pores and eventually form a permanent. soggy, stirling film which interferes with eliminative action and makes the skin sickly and pasty. There Is an application -mercolized wax-which acts upon an entirely different principle While per fectly harmless, 1t has the peculiar property of removing by absorption tho dead and half-dead particles of scarf skin, as well as unhealthy matter In the pores. Thus 1t takes away from instead of adding to the complexion. differing in this respect from cosmetics; The re- suit is a perfectly natural and healthy young complexion. Mercolized wax. procurable at any drug store Gone ounce Is sufficiently. is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morn ing.
 The correct principle in the treatment of wrinkles is to tighten the skin, which naturally irons out the lines. A face bath. remarkably effective in this df- rection may be made by dissolving I oz. powdered saxolite in F pt. witch hazel.

For those espe- 1ialfy who have been here before highly appreciate the wonderful development that has occurred here in the past 10 years. This city is an example of the new and better things being done in this country.
 ''rhe work resulting from the efforts os the imagination and genious of the Americans of today is amazing. And it's zmazement does not lie alone in our great buildings or ponderous machinery, but sust as much in our American manhood and citizenship.
 "The purpose of this association is to Berve the business men of America as s whole to the utmost of such an or yanization's ability and our ability in that line cannot be underestimated when tr hat aIr ba chamber is composed of 625 individual chambers of commerce throughout the country, representing in all over 900 business men. We are particularly glad to come here to see the south now when she is facing serious problems, for there is no doubt but what we are in the midst of extraordinary times. It's a time for us to know or find out what we can and cannot do and so shape our af- fairs as to remedy our defects.''
 President Fahey described the organ the existence of the national chamber '"There has been a remarkable change 1n the past 10 or 15 years" he said. "There was time many of us remember wher {. chamber of commerce was looked upon largely as a necessary evil in any com nlunity, little more than an empty shell lot of talking and little doing But n great change has come about and the chamber of the former days has now become an active factor in the develop. ment of the community and the nation.
