Valeska Suratt,

ula has become famous for its Won
derful results in making the skin
plump and vigorous and removing
quickly all traces and lines of age:
Mix two tablespoonful of gylcerine
and two ounces Of eptol in half a
pint of water. This forms a beauti-
full, Satiny cream with wonderful It's
sue-building properties. Big and lit
tie wrinkles, crows feet and loose
ness of flesh simply disappear, max
ing a difference in appearance Of age
which is truly wonderful. Use this
fomula literally and you will not fail
to achieve the desired results. 1t is
very economical and more effective
than any cream known.
MRS. T.. G. Sam sorry you

drug store. In such a case, my Sec
rotary will get it and send it to you

MARTHA DIT is often a difficult
matter to develop the bust and no
one can tell with certainty that it can
be accomplished n any particular
case. But my formula, made with
two ounces Of ruetone and half cup
OF sugar in a pint of cold water and
taken in two teaspoonfuls after each
and surest means known for the pur-
pose. Mechanical appliances, pills,
ETC., should not be used.
MRS. B. 0. R-Blood tonics will
never remove blackheads. Pinching
them out makes the condition worse
and spots the skin. 1t is not gener-
ally known that blackheads may be
removed in a very few minutes by
sprinkling some powdered neroxin on
a sponge, made wet with hot water,
and rubbing this on the affected
places. The result is astonishing.
even in very advanced leases. Any
drug store has neroXin. My method
is the only practical one, and you
can actually see the result taking
place.
MISS MARJORIE Tan amazing

cured by dissolving a teaspoonful OF
eggol in half cup of hot water.
Enough eggol can be secured at any
drug store for small price to give
over a dozen of these head washes.
MISS p. o. R.-Yes, the face pow
der + use is made after my own form
ula. 1t is called "Valeska Suratt Face
Powder" 1t is free from the chalki-
ness of nearly all face powders, ana
superb in fneness, smoothness and
scent. 1t is sold in many drug and
department stores. Should you find
difficulty in getting it, write to my
secretary as suggested to Mrs. T. G.

The national president of the uni

lives. They attended meeting oil
the local hatters' union. They said
they did not know what would be the
outcome. Tonights meeting was not
called especially to take up the sub
ject OF the big fine. and so 1t was
discussed only informally. Tomorrow
night there will be a special meeting,
at which will be devised ways an
means to meet the situation.
The officers OF the hatters' union
tonight deplored any suggestion that
violence might result. They avowed
that their members are orderly and
law loving and that only legal steps
will be taken.
At the same time the reporter
learned that there may be high feel

In the minds of union officials there
was one fixed idea tonight. That

offenders singled out by the supreme
court will not be forced to bear the
whole burden.
John ]. O'Hara. secretary of the
hatmakers' union here. was quoted
yesterday as saying that he believed
the full force of the judgment would
fall upon the 1856 hatters specifically
named by the supreme court. Mt
