Of the fleet Fletcher gets $4,000. and as

How to Look Years
Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use Of ordinary mer-
coliZed wax for from ten days to two
weeks. This remarkable substance,
because of its peculiar absorptive pow
er, actually removes the thin veil Of
faded or withered outer cuticle, lit
tie at time. Gradually the fresher,
more youthful skin underneath Is re-
vealed. This absorption process being
a purely hygienic one, an entirely nat
ural complexion is acquired-quite diff
ferent from the artificial complexion.
which appears anything but girlish,
though often bearing painful evidence
of childishness. An ounce Of merco-
lized wax. obtainable at any drug
store, is sufficient to rejuvenate any
complexion. II Is put on like cold
cream at bedtime. and removed morn
ings with warm water.
TO eradicate such age marks as
wrinkles and burrows make a wash
lotion by dissolving l o. powdered
saxolite in " pit. witch hazel. This
has wonderful astringent and tonic
properties. 1t quickly effaces all
kinds of wrinkles. no matter how
caused. making the skin firm, smooth
and young looking.-Advt.
