To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic over the
identifying qualities Of mercolized wax.
Nothing discovered within recent years ae-
composites SO much, SO quickly, without
harm. at such small expense. The principal
reason for its wonderful merit Is that it
works in harmony with physiological laws.
Instead of hiding complexion defects. 1t re-
moves them. II actually takes off the aged,
faded, sallow, freckled or blotehy surface

venience. IL Is Natures way of renewing
compilations. When the natural process Is
retarded because Of deficient circulation or
nerve tone, rnercolzed wax comes to the
rescue and hastens the skin shedding. The

one. youthful, healthy, exquisitely beautiful.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff AT

you destroy it entirely. To do this.

common liquid arvon from any drug

it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in

BY morning, most if not all, of your

OMAHA FOLKS PAY
| BILLS PROMPTLY
Never in the History of the City
Have the Monthly obliga-
tions Been Met So Well.
PROSPEROUS CITY CAUSE

Bills are being more promptly met
in Omaha today than they have ever
been in the life OF the city.
This is shown by the records of the
office Of the Associated Retailers Of
Omaha. More people are living up to
the agreement entered into with the
retailer, which is usually to pay the
bill on or before the tenth day OF the
month following the month in which
the purchase was made.
Few people realize the enormous
credit business the large stores are
doing, and what it means to have ac-
counts drag for a period of months.
There are large department stores
here that have as much as $ls0,000 to
100000 in accounts standing on the
books all the time.
For the last few years the retailers
here, through the Associated Retailers
of Omaha. have been carrying on a
kind of campaign of education seek
ing to instill into the minds of their
customers the importance of meeting
accounts promptly when due.
The promptness with which bills
are met at present in Omaha is be-
lieved by the retailers to be partly due
to this campaign, although the retail
ers are not slow to admit that it is
partly due to the generally prosper
rus condition of Nebraska at present.
Value of Promptmess.
Secretary ]. w. Metcalfe of the As
ISOLATED Retailers of Omaha, after
making a survey of the card index in
his office giving the credit standings
of the customers of the various stores
as they are reported to his office, said:
More people today realize the
value of individual credit rating than
ever before in the history of our or
ganization. More of the customers are
now living up to their agreements
with the retailer to pay by the tenth
Of the month following the purchase.
The credit buyer formerly didn't real

ing the retailer pay interest on large
sums OF money he is forced to borrow

seem to realize more fully their obi
CATION for the accommodation they
are getting. The retailers are really
the biggest bankers in the commun-
ity. They are bankers charging no in

money, but in the form of merchan-

initiated and mannikins take the stunt

To blow up a dam in washtub, TO
sink a liner in dishpan, to have a
vicious head-on collision on the studio
table, is now an everyday matter.
Rivers, forests, caves, high trestles and
barren deserts are built in miniature
and inserted in the films so cleverly
that few persons in the audiences "tum-
ble."
But, inasmuch as the serial thriller,
the two-dimension melodrama, has
come to stay, there will always be a
field for certain class of the human
punch, the stunt men of the movies.

being to risk is dummy made up. But,
instead of the limp, loose effigy, the tech

figures of the exact weight and dimen-

this manner the actions of the dummy
can be made so similar to the original
that the deception is marvellous.

Giants Who Crunch Temples
Occasionally Relax

The "caulifower ear" is the badge OF
he fstic daredevils of the movies. Con-
slant pounding with or without boxing
gloves has thickened their ears almost
twice their natural size. They don't care
if brick houses fall on them, and by
virtue of their violent avocations they
have taken an undisputed place in the
centre of the limelight of the Stunt
Mems Club.
An assortment of freaks is group
that is regarded as legitimately ell
titled to the crowd. They are the
dwarfs, giants, skeleton men, fat men
and others whose misfortune Is their
fortune. A seven-footer-for instance
one who makes his living as a stOrk in
fairy tales at SIS day; colossal giants
that pull up trees by the roots or crunch
the columns of huge temples with a
twist of the wrists or who stop a
freight train with each hand and light
a cigarette with the other-all are in
this group.
