Cosmetics Not Needed;
 Peel the Skin Instead

One reason mercolized wax Is so strongly recommended is that 1t really takes the place of several different ca1a metics, saving time. patience and ex- pense. It is better than any cleansing cream, better than any massage cream and better than any rouge, for accom- plishing the results for which such ar ticleS are used. As the wax actually absorbs an old, faded or discoiored cuticle, little each day. the underly- ing skin. which gradually appears, is clearer. softer healthier-hue6 and more youthful than any cosmetic-made com plexion. Spreading on a thin coat of this wax at night. washing 1t off morn ings, in week or so produces a mar yelous transformation. Just one ounce Of mercolized wax. ,obtainable at any drug store, will do the work There's nothing better to remove freckles, moth patciles liver spots, salIowness, blotcf- ee. pimpIes, or bIackh eads.
 For wrinkles and loose, saggy skin, a face bath made by diaeoIv5nS Oz. powdered saxolite in jk pit. witch hazel is the best thing that can be recom- mended. This has remarkable astrin- gent and tonic properties.

 Just now our chief problem Is to have facilities enough to do the bnsi- ness offering, and we are approaching ia condition in the United States which have long anticipated, namely, there is not enough transportation to go around, and business will be checked for that reason. am very fearful of the situation in New England. because the conditions for the last four or five years have been such that 1t has been practically impossible for the rail- roads to go ahead with constructive work
 Now we are doing everything we can to get equipment. sidetracks, yards, etc. but the continued investi- : gations and the present trial are handicaps, to a certain extent, on the class of work to which the officers shoald be devoting their entire time.
