To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations

1t is more important now than during
the period of prefuse perspiration, TO keep
the pores clean. All cosmetics clog the
pores In cool weather this interferes
greatly with elimination of waste mate
rial, injuring instead OF aiding the com
plexion. Ordinary mercolized wax serves
all the purposes of creams. powders and
rouges, giving far better results. IL actu-
ally peels of an offensive skin, at the
same time unelogging the pores. Minute
particles of scarf skin come off day by
day, causing not the least discomfort.
Gradually the healthy. younger skin be-
meath peeps out. and in less than
fortnight you have lovelier complexion
than you ever dreamed of acquiring. Mer-
colized wax. obtainable at any drug store
IS spread on nightly hike cold cream and
washed off mornings. one ounce usually
sufflces.
For removing wrinkles, without stop
ping the pores with pasty stuff, here's a
never-failing formula: One ounce pow
dered saxolite. dissolved in one-half pint
witch hazel Battle the face in this daily
for awhile. every line will vanish com
pletely. Even the first application gives
surprising results.
