fired, they included all calibres. from

This Skin Peeler All
the Rage In Society

There is a growing tendency among
women of culture and fashion to pay
more attention to hygienic means Of
preserving their charms. The advent
of merco1ized wax doubtless has been
largely responsible for this. This re-
markable substance produces complex
ions so natural in appearance, so mag
netica1ly beautiful, artificial complex
ions are no longer desired Instead of
"doctoring" an offensive skin, the skin
is peeled off. The wax peels the skin
so gradually. in such fine particles, no
discomfort Is experienced. The fresf1er.
younger skin beneath, wholly in evil
dence within a week or two, Is lily
white. satiny soft and smooth. It's not
a patched-over complexion, but a brand
new one. That's why mercolized wax
has become such a rage among society
folk. The wax is put on nights like
cold cream and washed off mornings.
All druggists have DIT; one ounce will
do.
Another hygfenic treatment now
much in favor is one to remove wrin-
kles, made by dissolving OF. powder
ed saxolite in " pint witch hazel. Used
