To Look and Feel
Bright in Hot Weather

This is the season when she who
would have a lily-white complexion
should turn her thoughts to mercol-
lied wax, the firm friend Of the sum-
mer girl. Nothing so effectually over
comes the soiling effects of sun. wind,
dust and dirt. The wax literally alb
serbs the scorched, discolored, freckl-
ed. withered or coarsened cuticle,
bringing forth brand new skin, clear,
soft and girlishly beautiful. 1t also un-
clogs the pores. removing blackheads
and increasing the skins breathing
capacity. An ounce Of mercolized wax
obainable at any drug store, applied
nightly like cold cream, and washed
off mornings, will gradually improve
the worst complexion.
When depressed by the heat and
you want to freshen up for the after
noon or evening, battle the face In a
lotion made by dissolving an ounce
Of powdered saxolite in a half pint
witch hazel. You'll find this more re-
freshing than an hours rest. 1t is fine
for smoothing out wrinkles, even the
deeper Ones.-Adv.
