rough, chapped, blOtchy, or pimply,
there's nothing that will so surely
overcome the condition as ordinary
mercOIized wax. The wax literally

the dead and near-dead particles of
surface skin, so gently, gradually. you
experience no Inconvenience at all A
new complexion is then in evidence,
one SO clear, spotless, delicately soft
and beautiful, you look many years
younger. One ounce of this wax, pro-
durable at any drug store, will re-
juvenate even the worst complexion.
It is smeared on like cold cream be-
fore retiring and removed mornings
with warm water. The mercOlized wax
habit is a healthier and more ecOnom-
icaI one than the cosmetic habit.
If the skin be Wrinkled or creased,
battle it daily in a solution made by

BY MRS, MAE MARTIN.

Grace: Certainly that brittIeness of
hair and your dandruff are dangerous
conditions and should be corrected
quickly by a proper shampoo. Get
some canthrOX from your druggist and
dissolve a teaspOOnful in a cup of hot
water, then pour this mixture on the
head slowly and rub we'll This makes
an abundance of rich, cleansing lather,
and rinsing leaves the scalp and hair
wonderfully sweet and clean These
ShampoOS are very soothing to tender,
itchy scalps and so invigOrate the hair
roots that a growth of glossy, fluffy,
even-colored hair results. CanthrOx
shampoos are invaluable to the finest
growth of hair and prevent as well as
overcome all scalp and hair difficult
ties.
Lolita M: Here is a simple, inexpen-
sive treatment for hairy growths; Mix
n thick paste with some powdered del
atone and water. Apply to hairs not
wanted and in two or three minutes
rub off and the skin will be smooth
and hairless Then wash the skin
to remove the remaining delatone.

for my eyes when they are weak,

my druggist and put into one pint

lids and will give a sparkle and de-
lightful expression to dull, expression

Dolly: Your itchy scalp can be re-
lieved and cured, as well as the falling
hair, by the use Of a quinine tonic
which at least a dozen Of my personal
friends are using and making at home

used) pour one ounce kardene, then
add One-half cupful sugar and hot
water to make a full quart. Take one
tablespoonful of this old-faShiOned
blood cleanser and tonic before each
meal. This is splendid for that weak,
worn feeling and restores the kidneys
to normal action and the blood to a
healthy condition. Its timely use will
save much serious sickness.
Teacher: In your case the wrinkles
and lines in your skin are probably
caused by its extreme dryness- To re
move them use this preparation which
you can make for yourself, which will
act rapidly and restore the sOftness
and natural tone to the skin. Get an
ounce of almozoin at the drug store
and dissolve it in One-half pint cold
water, adding two tablespoonful
glycerine. Apply this before retiring
and leave over night. This will re-
move wrinkles, prevent crows feet
and make your face soft and satiny.
Since it has removed my crows feet
I use 1t to clear and whiten my skin.
