Your Face Completely
< x < Z x < < !. < x < x <

Any woman not satisfied vita her
complexion can easily remove it and
have a new one. The thin veil Of
sitting half-dead cuticle is an encmnb-
rance and should be removed give
the fresh, vigorous, young skin under
meath chance to show itself and to
breathe. There a simple, old-fash-
iosed remedy which will ALWAYS do the
work. Get an ounce of pure mercOlized
wax froa your druggist and apply it
at night like cold cream, washing it
off in tae morning. The wax will gent
ly absorb all the lifeless skin and
leave a healthy ami beautiful complex
ion, as fresh as child's. Naturally
it takes with it all such facial blem-
ishes as freckles, moth patches, sal
lowness, liver spots, pimples. The face
so treated soon looks years younger.
To kee' the skin free from wrinkles
there's nothing quite so good as the
old reliable saxOlte lotion. 1t is only

gates to the national republican convention at Chicago
for the purpose of naming standard bearer for the party
in the coming presidential election Those delegates are
perfectly willing to do the work they sent to do but
find that will not let them That strange con-
dition for great party in free country 1t reminds one
of the complaint Of the old Roman which one Just now
cannot say probably Cassius but Shakespeare puts
his mouth these words
"Now in the name Of all the gods at once upon what
meat hath this our Caesar fed that he hath grown so
great that like huge Colossus he doth bestrde this mar
row world and petty must peep about and creep
beneath his huge legs to find ourselves dishonorabe

noon trading some Of the war issues

Mexican Petroleum and the like
moved up sharply. The recovery in
Mercantile Marine preferred was the
most active feature of the session,
extended to five points and more.
Improvement elsewhere was of more
moderate extent but practically every
thing on the active list reflected gains
ranging from fraction to a point or
two.
There was very little in the way of
news to explain in the upturn which
was associated, however, with the
favorable impression created by Ger
many's admission of responsibility for
the destruction of the Sussex and it's
offer of an indemnity to the Ameri-
can sufferers Extensive improvement
was confined almost entirely to the
special issues and standard rails and
leading industrials were dull and only
slightly changed for the most part
