l16 PROPERTIES
HAVE BEEN SOLD
These Transfers Recorded
Within Half Year; Rent
Houses in Demand

How real estate sales in Steelton
have increased recently is shown by
figures just compiled by Borough Sec
retary Charles P. Feidt.
Within the past six months accord
ing to Mr.. Feidt, just 116 properties
have been transferred in the borough.
This is a much larger number than
in any siv-month period for years,
the borough secretary says.
Mr.. Feidt obtained these figures in
checking up accounts OF the water
department preparatory to mailing out
the semi-annual bills. He is being
aided by Assistant Secretary Mark
wood d. Myers and the work is pro-
crossing rapidly.
Real estate men and others who
have watched Steelton property in the
past declare that values have never
been as good as at present and pre-
dict long continued period of activ-
ity in the market. Houses of all kinds
are in demand and rentable properties
are SO scarce that builders are be-
ginning to give the problem conside-

To Improve Expression
As Well As Complexion

No face is really beautiful that lacks
expression. Do you realize that con-
tinual use of powders and creams tends
to Spoil pliancy of skin and elasticity
of expression? Why not quit cosmetics,
use something better, which won't clog
the pores or make the skin dry, pasty
or oily? Ordinary mercolized wax acts
quite different from any cosmetic. 1t
wonderfully improves any complexion,
giving it life and expression. By. gradu-
ally, harmlessly peeling off the thin
veil of surface skin, 1t brings to view
a pure. soft, spotless complexion, deli
cately beautiful and youthful. Every
druggist has this wax: 1t is seldom
more than an ounce is needed. 1t is
spread on nightly like cold cream and
washed off mornings. In a week or two
the transformation is complete.
Wrinkles do not of course enhance
the expression. Neither do the pasty
things many use to eradicate them. A
treatment free from all objection is
made by dissolving an ounce of pow.

Efforts are being made to ascertain
his name. The manifest calling for
