Wonderful Skin and
Wrinkle Ren,oUers

The method Of removing bad COM
plexions by absorption seems to have
come into general use in this country.
Ordinary mercolized wax, applied
nightly like cold cream and erased
mornings with warm water, gradually
absorbs the coarse, faded or discolored
outer film skin in almost Invisible
particles. Soon there's brand new
complexion, formed by the younger,
healthier under-skin No cosmetic or
artificial treatment can possibly pro-
dute a complexion of such radiant,
Youthful liveliness. Druggists all
have melcolized wax; it is seldom
that more than one ounce is neces-
sary.
Thousands have also reported great
success with the famous saxolite
wrinkle-removing formula. One ounce
Of pure powdered saxolite is dissolved
in a haif-pint witch hazel and, the So
luton used as face wash. The eff
feet is almost magical. The deepest
wrinkles and crows feet. as well as
the finest lines-whether due to age,
illness. wealth Or worry-completely
and quickly vanish. No one need
haritate to try thi- simple lotion, as
it won't harm any skin.

FIRST RESULTS
FROM THE PROTEST
Great Britain Releases Three Amer'-
can Ships Which Had Been
Detained.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON Jan 2.-The first
result Of the United States protest to
Great Britain against interference
with shipping. was seen tonight when
the state department announced the
receipt Of dispatch from Consul Cen
eraI Skinner at London telling of the
release OF three American ships de-
tanned in English ports to which they
had been diverted by British war
ships. The released ships were the
Tif1is, the Narragansett and the
George r. Hewlay. The first two were
ioil tankers an6, the George r. Hawley
carried mixed cargo carrying some
oil. Their detentions were not known
to the state department, 1t was stated.
While the British government has
only begun ons:deration Of the Unit
ed States note and release of the
ships was generally regarded as the
result of influences Of the protest 1t
gave ofncials further hopes that the
difference of the United States and
Great Britain over shipping will be
speedily and amicably settled.
Seizure Of the Brindilla, tanker
of the Standard Oil company. for the
second time since the war broke out
but this time by the French, was re-
ported tonight The incident revived
the suggestion that similar protest
might be made to France. That Italy
will attempt to clear up the British
misunderstanding regarding the cop
rar situation with formal note short
ly, was indicated by a statement Of
the Italian ambassador tonight.
The list and formal protest filed in
each case, will probably be made pub
lie Monday.
