REGULATES LIQUOR
Carranza Puts Restrictions of Sale of
Pulque.

Mexico City, Sept. 26.-Stringent
regulation of the manufacture and
sale of pulque, the principal strong
drink of Mexico, is ordered by First
Chief Carranza in a decree which has
just been promulgated. The beverage
is made from the. juice of the maguey
cactus. The new regulations double
the tax on the bringing of pulque into
towns, and require manufacturers of
it to record with proper authorities all
details concerning their business.
The decree provides that no fac
tories may be established more than
forty kilometers from the town in
which the product is to be sold. This
is to insure that the pulque arrives
quickly and in good condition.

Peel Off Your Freckles

To remove freckles. blotches or any com
pIexion difficulty, the best thing to do is
to remove the skin itself. This is easily
and harmlessly done by the application of
ordinary mercolized wax. The wax peels

day, gradually bringing the second layer
of skin to view. The new skin is beauti-
fully soft clear, white and young looking.
just procure an ounce Of mercolized wax
at any drug store and use like cold cream.
