Capt Charles Chase, who last Sun
day took Stanley Clark's new motor
boat Edith around 10 Rockland on its
way to Bar Harbor. has returned to
Augusta and reports that the trip
down the Maine coast was a fine one.
The boat made the trip to Rockland in
az hours running time and Capt.
Chase reports that the engine never
made a skip for the entire distance
and was one Of the best running boat
motors that he ever handled. Capt.
Bill Moody of the Journal force, who
accompanied Capt. Chase on the trip,
would have had a good time had 1t
not been for the fact that the motion
of the boat so upset him that he paid
tribute to Neptune as long as he had
any tribute to pay and afterward tried
to pay more. and did not feel like him
self again until he reached Rockland
and had been on shore for some time.

Sun1n1er-Sp0iIed Skin
Removed by ABSORPTION

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan,
redness or roughness, often freckles, too,
the sensible thing to do is to remove such
surface. There's nothing better for this
than ordinary mercolized wax. which ac-
tually abSorbs an unwholesome COM
plexion. The thin layer of surface skin
is itself absorbed. gently, gradually. so
there's no inconvenience. no detention
indoors. Spread the wax lightly over the
entire face at bedtime and take it off in
the morning with warm water. If you
will get one ounce of mercolized wax at
the drugstore, use it for a week or So
you may expect marked improvement
daily. When the underlying skin is
wholly in view your complexion will be
a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful
whiteness.
Don't let those summer wrinkles worry
you: worry breeds more wrinkles Ban
ish them by bathing the face in solu-
ton of powdered saxolite. o., dissolved
in pit. witch hazel. Used daily for
while this will be found wonderfully
effective.-Adv.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELPS

COMPLEXION B e A U TT Fl E R
Nothing is more repulsive than to
see woman with her face all daubed
with face powder in her desire to
hide marks Of age. Instead of using
powder, which clogs and enlarges the
pores, it is far better to use a good
face lotion that will improve and per-
manently benefit the skin. BY dis
solving four ounces of spurmax in
one half pint hot water you can make
an inexpensive lotion that will do
wonders as a skin whitener and COM
plexion beautifier. It removes all
shininess, sallowness and roughness,
and gives the skin a smooth, velvety
tone. while it does not rub off easily
like powder. nor does it show on the
skin.
MAKES HAIR FLUFFY-By wash
ing the hair with a teaspoonful of
canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot
water, afterward rinsing thoroughly
with clear water. one finds that it
dries quickly and evenly, is UNI
streaked, bright, soft and very fluffy,
so fluffy. in fact. that it looks more
abundant than it is and so soft that
arranging it becomes a pleasure. This
simple, inexpensive shampoo cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly OF all
dandruff and dirt, and leaves a clean,
wholesome feeling. All scalp irrita-
ton will disappear, and the hair will
be brighter and glossier than ever be-
fore.-dAdv.
