How to Look Years
 Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years younger after the use of ordinary mer- colized wax for from ten days to two weeks This remarkable substance, be- cause of its peculiar absorptive power, actually removes the thin veil of faded or withered outer cuticle. a little at a time. Gradually the fresher. more youth full skin underneath is revealed. This absorption process being a purely hy- gienic one, an entirely natural complex- ion is acquired-quite different from the artificial complexion. which appears anything but .girlish. though often bearing painful evidence of childish ness. An ounce of mercolized wax, ob tainable at any drug store. is sufficient to rejuvenate any complexion. It is put on like cold cream at bedtime. and re- moved mornings with warm water.
 To eradicate such age marks as wrin- k1es and furrows. make a wash lotion by dissolving one ounce of powdered saxolite in one-half pint witch hazel This has wonderful astringent and tonic properties. It quickly effaces all kinds of wrinkles. no matter how caused. making the skin firm. smooth and young looking.-Adv.

STREET TAX WILL BE REPEALED SOON Commission Will Not Leave It on Books Longer
 Than July l

Street tax will not be an issue in the approaching campaign for city comms- sioners. Those candidates and prospec- tive candidates who would make this the main plank in their platform have been circumvented by the board of commis- sioners themselves.
 The street. tax ordinance will be repealed before July l. After that date no one need fear the approach of an officer. with a receipt book In .one hand and war rant in the other.
 To Commissioner Truss, who in advo- eating the measure when it first came up for consideration, proclaimed it the most just and equitable tax ever proposed; and who believed that 1t should either be paid by the citizens who came within it's provisions or they should be put upon the streets as city convicts, is reserved the privilege of introducing the ordinance repeating, annulling and resembling the street tax ordinance.
 It is not known just what new method of raising revenue the board of commis- sioners will devise to take the place of the street tax.
