To keep the face smooth. white AMI

quite so good as ordinary mercolized
wax. Discolored or freckled skin SO
common at this season, is gently abb

the newer, fresher skin beneath The
face exhibits no trace of the wax,
which is applied at bedtime and vast

are apt TO appear more conspicuous
than usual these days of excessive
Precipitation. Just get an ounce of
mercolized wax at any drug store ami

the complexion will look remarkably

ADVERTISING As PROFESSION.

Within a decade, advertising in

More than that, it has progressed to
the point where 1t supports spec

Ten years ago seventy-six delegates
attended the first annual convention
of the Associated Advertising clubs of
America, as it was then known. This
organization, now known as the AS

It remained for Frank Houston OF
Kansas City. No.. to prove that the
worm trampled upon by pestiferous
book agent can turn-and turn right
smartly, too.
Seems as though Frank has been
bothered more or less with book
agents and book collectors. One book
agent kept after him SO long and so
strenuously that Frank let him send
along an armful Of books he never
wanted to read and never did read
Just to get rid OF the agent. Comes
along the collector and more Of
Franks time is taken up explaining
why he didn't want the books, but to
no avail, says che Rock Island Argus.
The book concern sued him for the
whole amount.
Now watch the worm turn
Frank Houston filed counter claim
for sum six times larger than the
price of the books. alleging that he
had been ''harassed. vexed mad annoy
ed by the aforesaid agent and collec-
tor. That he had lost lot OF vafu-
able time listening to the agents ora
tions on the merits Of the books and
to the collectors arguments on why
he should pay for books he didn't
want
Possibly you may want to keep this
story Of Frank Houston for future
needs. Some day when you are very
busy and book agent pest insists
