For Chapped, Blotchy,
Red or Wrinlled Skin
(From Family Physician.)

Do you realize that just beneath
that coarse. rough or discolored COM
plexion there's an exquisitely beautiful
skin Of youthful tint and delicacy?
you could only bring this complexion
to the surface, discarding the old one!
You can-in the easiest, simplest
most natural manner imaginable. Just
get an ounce of ordinary mrecolized
wax at any drugstore, apply nightly
like cold cream. removing it mornings
with warm water. The wax assists
Nature by gradually taking off the
lingering particles of dead and half
dead surface skin, causing no discom-
fort whatever. Ordinarily it takes
from q week to ten days to complete
the Transformation. Cutaneous de-
fects like chaps pimples. blotches liv-
er spots. moth patches. freckles. of
course disappear with the old skin.
Nothing else that know Of will ac-
complish such wonderful results in 90
short a time.
Fine lines and even the deeper
wrinkles often appear at this season
In such cases nothing IL better than
a face bath made by dissolving 1 OF.
powdered saxolite In " pit witch
hazel. This Is Remarkably effective.

tucked into the deep yoke or waist in
clusters Of five tiny tucks each. The
insertion and hand embroidery form

many loops of inch-wide ribbon add a

the square neck is sufficiently large to
