TRAVEL COST
LESS Than
TWO CTS.

DETROIT, Mich, May 9.-To
the man inclined to believe that
motor car travel is still somewhat
OF a luxury, figures recently Sc
cured from more than three hun
dred owners in Cleveland, show
ing conclusively that il costs on
the average a cent and a half a
mile to drive ore well known
type of car i'm that city, should
prove interesting.
At present there are more than
fifteen hundred owners of Ford
cars in Cleveland. OF this num-
Der three hundred and seventeen
had owned their cars an average
Of Eine and a half months, and
he d kept careful and complete
record of the cost entailed.
Each of the three hundred and
seventeen owners had driven his
car an average distance of five
thousand two hundred and seven
ty-three miles.
II cost an average of $500 for
gasoline per car for the nine and
over half months service. The
average expense for lubricatinp
oil during the same period was
$6.28. The average cost of re.
Pairs per car for the entire period
o. operation was $3.50.

Bloom of Youth
Now Easily Attained

You no longer need to doctor"
that sallow, freckled, blackheaded,
rough, blothchy. pimply or over-red
skin. You can remove IL, instead
easily, painlessly, fnexpensively. BY
new scientific process, which any
one can use without assistance, the
dead and near-dead surface skin,
with all it's imperfections, is gently,
gradually absorbed-and a radiant
ly youthful and beautiful complex
ion comes forth! Go to your drug
gist. get an ounce of pure merco-
lized wax; at night apply enough
of this to completely cover the face;
don't rub it in. Next morning re-
move the wax with warm water.
The result after a few days Is
astonishing. You wonder why this
secret wasn't discovered long ago.
Let the wrinkled folks also take
hope. Put an ounce of powdered
saxolite into a half pint witch hazel,
battle the face in the solution and
--say!-there's nothing that will so
effectually, so promptly, smooth out
all those hateful lines.
