To Overcome .Suflburn
Tan, Freckles, Wrinkles

If your skin is unduly Redeemed,
freckled or tanned. dab a liberal amount
of ordinary mercoiZed wax on the face
and allow it to remain over night.
When you wash off the wax in the
morning, fine faky, almost invisible par
ticles of cuticle come with it. Repeating
this daily. the entire outer skin is alb
sorbed. but SO gradually, there's not
the slightest hurt or inconvenience.
Even the stubbornest freckles are at
fected. The underlying skin which
forms the new complexion Is so fresh
and youthful-looking, you'll marvel at
the transformation. It's the only thing
known to actually discard an aged,
faded. muddy or blotchy complexion.
One ounce of mercolized wax, procurable
at any drugstore. is sufficient in most
cases.
If sun and wind make you squirt and
frown, you're bound to cultivate
wrinkles and crows feet. To overcome
these quickly, bathe the face in a solu-
ton made by dissolving an ounce Of pow
dered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel.

opinion that the statute governing the
disqualification of judges should be

Court has given construction of the
statute in the decision announced by

bition preventing Judge CRANKY Hill

hearing the cases of three former coal
strikers charged with murder. In dis
cussing the statement, which was is
sued in typewriter form, the governor
said he had particularly in mind the
relation of the decision to the prose-
cution of liquor cases under the pro-
hibition law. After reviewing the de-
cision, the governor says:
'If defendant believes that the
trial judge is prejudiced against him.

trial judge meets such statements by
evidence from his side, the Supreme
Court then would have record before
it in which both sides had been heard
