For Sallcw. Wrinkled,
 Freckled, Pimpled Skin

If you have any cutaneous blemish. don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Toosoften this only em- phasizes the defect. Besides. it's much easier to remove the disfigurement with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied night ly, the wax will gradually remove freck- les. pimples, blackheads. moth patches any surface eruptions. The affected cutiole is absorbed a little each day, un- skin beneath is brought wholly to view Ask the druggist for an ounce of ner- co!ized wax and use this like. you use soap and water. Many who have tried this simple and harmless treatment re- port astonishing results
 If bothered with wrinkles or crows feet, wash lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint witch hazel will prove remarkably effectual.

He stated that in the past eight years the corn crop of the sta te had been increased more than seooO,cp bushels. and pointed out that the bankers of the state had had an importan mt part in this new order of things.

 Almost a hundred million dollars Tor single crop may have seemed an enormous and thoroughly satistae- tory sum of money, but while this stream of foreign gold was running mo our coffers. there was another of alarming proportions that was flow Ing an opposite direction that went to pay for products that could have sna snouid have been produced on, the Mis- sissippl Farms, where they could cas- fly have been produced for less ox- |, nse than where they were grown
 This outflow amounted to fror, sso,oV0,0Oo to $50.000,000 annually for very few articles namely mules ietd and foodstuffs. and while it may not have come wholly from the funds received from cotton, it was a stand orr against the money thus secured. It Is likely that the figures in your state are even of greater magnitude. or were up to a very few years ag.
