It's really a simple matter to renovate

gradually, there's no discomfort The

but evenly. in tiny particles. leaving no
healthier under-skfn forming the new
complexion, is one OF captivating lowell
ness. One ounce of mercolized wax, to
be had at any drug store, is enough to
remove any tanned, redeemed. pimpled,
freckled, or blotchy skin. Apply before
retiring, washing it OF mornings.
Many skins wrinkle easily with every
wind that blows, with heat, worry. etc.
An excellent wrinkle remover, because it
lshtens the skin and strengthens the re-
laxed muscles, is a wash lotion made as

PERSONALITIES | HAVE MET.
HENRY MILLER,

IRON all over the country the
r. moving picture fans who have
had the pleasure OF seeing
Mr. Miller on the stage are wonder
ing why he does not appear in pic
tures. And the moving picture fans
who have not had the JOY of be-
holding some Of Mr. Miller's superb
performances are clamoring to see
him on the screen and wondering
why-as most OF the famous stage
stars have been photographed-he
does not step before the camera
that his art might be studied and
appreciated by the interested masses
when his pictures are scattered TO
all corners of the globe.
| know OF one little reason which
l can whisper to you all-it is be-
cause Mr.. Miller is not conceited
enough even to appreciate his own
good looks upon the screen.
1t happened out in California,
and here is how we discovered it;
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Dillingham;
and Mr.. Henry Miller came out to
the Famous Players studio one aft
ernoon and were very much amused
at the taking of a scene from Rags.
Mr.. Miller was so interested he had
to have everything explained to him,
from the arrangement of the sets to
the operation of the camera.
Come in here, Mr. Miller" l i'm
plored him, "and have your picture
takcn-just for fun-to see yourself
upon the screen"
At first he thought | had said il
in Jest, but after the whole company
had argued, persuaded, and even
threatened, Mr.. Miller determined
that after all it would be quite a
jolly bit of an experience
Come on in here and play my
screen fathers part" asked him
waving my hand at the bar-room
set. But you will have to be a

barefooted and wears overalls." !

that he was going to enter into the

Did you ever know that you could

light yellow, scarcely perceptible, it
is ready for cookies or sponge cake ;
II 1t turns a nearly decided yellow, it
is ready for pies, pound cake and
mince pies; If deep yellow. it is
ready for bread. II it blackens the
paper, cool the oven right off.
Did you ever know that if you want
ed anything cooled quickly that by
placing it's dish in pan of heavily
sailed cold water. you would get re-
suits as quickly as If it were set on
ice?

Foolish Man.

A Boston woman has won wager
of $50 by promenading the principal
streets of Boston, Providence and Wor-
cester, wearing startling hand-patnt-
ed gown and hat and carrying hand
painted parasol. Her venture was the
result of dare from Boston artist.
She has given the money to the Red
Cross relief fund.
"YOu must not dare a woman to do
anything, even If she is growing old, "
says this successful creature, "for she
will do It, even If her husband should
object"
Here and there there may be hus-
band who will wonder what that word
"even" is doing in this declaration OF
feminine intentions, but otherwise the
sentiment will go uncorrected. Daring
a woman is superfuous, redundant
and superogatory piece OF work. The
gentleman gets off cheaply at $50
