The thousand and one prepa-
rations sold for improving the
complexion really make it very
difficult, instead of easy, for
woman to attain the object of
her desires. A =" beautifying
cream must be used very literally in
order to be successful at all-but at
the price at which such creams are
sold, the identifying process is tedious
indeed. Besides, the ingredients lack
strength. The only sure way: to be
successful is to make up the following
formula yourself at home: Mix two
tablespoonful of glycerine, and one
ounce of zintone in a pint of water.
This results in satiny cream, and
makes over a pint, which is several
times more than what you obtain in
the stores, and besides you have a
beautifier which has no equal for
quick and positive results. 1t will re-
move every blemish. red spot and
freckle and all muddiness, and the re-
suit is perfect tint, purity and clean
illness of skin which is exquisite. The
zintone can be secured at any drug
store. I would advise every woman
to abandon at once the identifying
cream she may be using and try this.
She will not fail of success.
MRS. AMANDA FL give you here
the only really successful method by
which all wrinkles. both big and little,
can be thoroughly and successfully re.
moved This has the peculiar property
!, OF making the skin plump and vtgor
GUS. 1t produces in a short time a
youthful appearance which. is really
startling. Mix at home, in a half-pint
of hot water, two tablespoonfuls OF
glycerine and two ounces of eptol. This
will make a half-pint of cream at a
cost several times less than you ordi
narily pay for so-called wrinkle-cream
at the stores. The eptol can be Sc
cured from your druggist. Use this
cream literally and faithfully and you
will find at last that your dream of a
youthful face has come true.
ARABELLA M.-Dandruff may now
be dissolved away completely This
can not be done by soap, because OF
the alkali it contains. 1t is done quick
~ and thoroughly by using as head
wash one teaspoonful of eggol dissolv.
ed in half cup of hot water. Enough
eggol to make over a dozen of these
shampoos can be obtained from your
druggist at small cost.
MRS. OTTO r. H.-The ordinary
hair tonics bought these days merely
stimulate the hair trifle for the time
being; they can not and do not make
hair grow. What is necessary is some.
thing that will supply the proper nour'
ishment to the scalp, and hair roots, in
this way putting an end to the sick
hair, dandruff, etc. For this purpose
nothing is so astonishingly effective

up your mind to use this formula and
absolutely discard everything else you
may be using as hair treatment
MISS PATIENT-Youll never be
able to pipch out all the blackheads
from your face. My positive method
is to sprinkle some powdered neroxin
on hot, wet sponge and rub on the
blackheads. After few minutes rub
bling, wash off and look in the mirror
The difference will startle you You
can get neroxin at any drug store.
HANNAH M. b am not surprised
that you have failed to remove your
superfluous hairs. The only sure,
thorough way is to dissolve them away
instead of burning them off By
moistening the hairs with sulfo solu-
ton, which you can obtain at the drug
store, every hair, the heavy and light,
simply melts away, and unlike other
hair removers, leaves no mark or spot
but leaves the skin soft, smooth and
clear. It works without fail, no mat.
ter how sensitive the skin or how
heavy the growth.
MRS. A. CT am sorry you could
not get the beta-quino1. Upon In.

stores will furnish you with it, or with
any other article necessary for pre-.
pairing my beauty forulas.

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.

1t was probably owing to the threat
ening condition of the weather last
Friday evening that there was not as
many in attendance at the entertain
mnt given in the Orpheum, under the
auspices of the Commercial Club as
were expected, but those present were
glad they braved the elements as they
were treated to one of the best musical
programs that has been presented in
Oroville for many a day. Owing to ILL
ness neither Mrs. Lewis nor Mrs.
Major could take part and other num-
bers were substituted. The orchestra
music was of high order, and the
members were generous in responding
to recalls. The trombone solo by Mr..
Mallory, the violin solo by Mr. Steiner
and the xylophone solo by Mr.. Ingram
were rare musical treats Mrs.
c. c. Hedger and Mrs. E. s. Taylor
gave two delightful piano duets, and
vocal solos by Miss Eliza Grathwohl
and Mr.. Starrett wr admirably render
ed. After the entertainment a number
of the audience remained and took
part in a social dance. The receipts
did not set the club exchequer very
far forward.

building and c. Schassbrgers tailor
shop. 1t is Mr.. Bartells intention to
put up modern brick moving picture
house on this property this summer.
The property embraces two of the
most desirable inside lots on Main
street, and a better location for an

selected. The new building, on the
plans that he proposes to follow, will
be great improvement to the business

had much experience on an irrigation
project on Lake Chelan, has been en-

1t will be necessary when the system
is completed and ready for use to have
force of men employed to constantly
watch and care for the fumes and
bitches, with one man of experience in
charge as manager, and Mr.. Criswell
was the gentleman selected for that
purpose.
