the matter may have seemed small

a NeuD Face Without
Surgical Skin Peeling

The surgical operation Of face, peehng
is too radical too often dangerous. Tneres
a better way of removing offensive COM
plexiOns and one that is entirely safe and
rational. Ordinary mercOliZed wax causes
the devitalized scarf skin to come or but
gradually and gently. Unlike the surgical
process, the skin is not forcibly taken of
in big pieces all at once, but almost in
visible faky particles are absorbed by the
wax, and about two weeks are required TO
complete the transformation. There's no
pain, no discomfort.
Nature renews compilations the same
way, shedding tiny cutaneous scales day
by day. But deficient circulation, or other
abnormal condition, may interfere with the
shedding-a bad complexion" results.
Then mercolized wax assists Nature by
Fastening the removal OF the aged faded
or GsSSOlOred top skin. Thus only the live
~, young, healthy hued skin is in evil
dence, as in robust girlhOOd. This is why
lnercolized wax produces the indescfibable
beauty of ever-renewing youth. The wax
is put on at night like cold cream and
washed of I'm the morning. You can pro
cure 1t at any druggists; an ounce is
sufficient.

CHAPTER VII.
For a whole OF the forenoon We
had heard firing in the distance. the
thunder OF cannon and the rattle OF
musketry. Our regiment had been
marched hither and thither. The
fight had drawn nearer and nearer.
We were expecting 10 be under fire
at any moment, and then we had
to fall back again, and look for a
new place to develop our attack. II
seemed as if the orders that came
through were contradictory, and this
tension OF uncertainty fell like a
blight on our spirits, and got on the
nerves both of officers and men. AT
length we had wound through a de-
file. the steep slopes of which. left
and right, were thickly grown with
trees. Things had got into a bit OF
a mess. We had had to force oul
way through underground soaked
with rain, through brambles and
clumps Of tall broom on which the
green pods were still pendent. AZ
times there was nothing in sight
except the roof and wall of greenery
We breathed more freely when al
last the sky spread clear overhead
again
So now we have reached a greer
meadow, and are marching straight
across il, but are still unable to see
anything of the enemy's forces yet
Even the firing has died down

every step. We shall, if we go on

try she was popular, and her ability as
a teacher was appreciated by the board
Of education. She professed a desire
to become an artist and this prompted
her to enter school i'm Chicago.

school principals will be chosen to sit
on the coroners jury. which will in
vestigate the death of Stanley Birns,
killed last night in a revolver battle
between two squads of detectives in
Chicago's vice district, which had been
officially reported closed. Birns and
John Sloop, his partner. who was shot
in the thigh, were regular plain clothes
detectives. Two others, Joseph Merrill
and Fred Amert, detectives of the
morals squad, were less seriously
wounded.
Il intend to make thorough inves-
tigation. of the affair and have select
ed high school principals in order to
have intelligent men on the jury"
said Coroner Hoffman. 1T appears 20
me that the two patches of detectives
did not recognize each other and THAI
is apparently dangerous for two diff
ferent squads to make a raid in the
same district"
The police say the shooting was pre-
cipitated by gang of levee characters,
who are alleged to have fired many
shots.
