wax, obtainable at any drug store, IS
sufficient to completely renoVate a
soiled complexion. 1t is used like cold
cream, allowed to remain on. over

As the skin tends to expand in warm

Such is the purport of a warning
issued by C. T. Wardlaw, chairman
of the Imperial county exemption
board. He says that in the future
the regulations governing the board
will be much more stringent than in
the past, with the result that the
board will have less latitude in deal
ing with the delinquencies of the reg
istered men who fail in complying
with the army service law.
Failure to receive a questionnairc
or failure to understand its meaning,
or any other excuse, will not suffice
in the future. Nothing but the strict
est compliance with the regulations
iof the War Department will serve
Mr.. Wardlaw is anxious to impress
upon all men within the draft ages
the absolute need of using every pre-
caution, that they do not lay them
selves open for trouble by any fail
ures on their part.
If in doubt as to what you should
do, if you are within the draft age
consult the postmaster, any member
of the advisory board, or call on the
members of the exemption board fol
advice. Take no chances. Become
informed and abide strictly by the
regulations if you wish to avoid trou
