VOW TO BEACTIFY
WEATHERBEATEN FACE

It's really a simple matter to rem
ovate a face soiled by dirt, wind or
cold. Ordinary mercolized wax,
used like cold cream, will trans
form the worst old complexion into
one of snowy wilderness and velvety
softness. 1t literally peels off the
outer veil of surface skin, but so
gently, gradually. there's no dis
comfort. The wornout skin comes
off, not in patches, but evenly, in
tiny particles, leaving no evidence
of the treatment. The younger,
healthier under-skin forming the
new complexion is one of captivat-
ing loneliness. One ounce of mer-
colized wax to be had at any drug
store, is enough to remove any
coarse, chapped, pimpled, freckled,
faded or sallow skin. Apply before
retiring, washing 1t off mornings.
Many skins wrinkle easily with
every wind that blows, with heat,
worry, etc. An excellent wrinkle
remover, because 1t tightens the
skin and strengthens relaxed mus
cles, is a wash lotion made as fol-
lows: Powdered saxolite, ! or. dis
