Real Wonder Worker
For Wrinkled Faces

Those who have tried all sorts of So
called ''wrinkle-renovers''- in a vain
effort to lose those unwelcome races
Of age, illness or worry, can scarcely
find words to express their delight with
the wonderful saxolite formula, once
they have given 1t a trial. The sue
cess of this method is due not alone
to it's marvellous effectiveness upon
the deepest lines and crowsfeet, as we'll
as upon the very fine ones-but also
to it's surprisingly quick action and its
entire harmlessness. Its simplicity
and it's Responsiveness are other COM
menda.ble features, for one need only
dissolve an ounce of powdered saxo-
lite in a half pint witch hazel, and
battle the face in this solution. At
once a remarkable transformation is
beheFd.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles
and creases that is so noticeable but
facial contour is remarkably improv-
ed and the face looks much younger.
One should be sure to ask the drug
gist for the powdered saxo1ite. The
lotion, being so refreshing, is particu-
larfyagratefulzto tired facEs.--AdWs

trained are now rendering inyaluahle
service, both in community and re-
construction work in France, and in
the public health work IN the zones
around cantonments.
AT this time, when the nursing
profession is giving SO generously Of
its talent to the base hospitals abroad,
1t Is more important that the profess

may more extensiN ely participate in

THE .NIAD" DUKE

The Duke of Cumberland whose
son, the Duke of Brunswick, married
the Kaiser's only daughter is reported
to have become insane from brooding
over the war The Duke of Bruns-
wick, too, is said to have become in
sane from brooding over the same
subject; the Brunswick line, in fact,
Is said to suffer from the curse of in
sanity. The Duke of Cumberland was
born seyenty-two years ago today,
Sept. FL, 1S45. His long feud with the
Kaiser, ended by the marriage of his
son into the Hohenzollern family, en-
Filtered the life of the aged duke,
whose life has been succession of
tragedies and disappointments. In his
youth, when he was Crown Prince of
Hanover, the Duke was a Colonel in
the Austrian army. and as such fought
CALAMITY against the Prussians in
1855. He fought by the side of his
father, King George of Hanover, who,
although blind, insisted upon taking
part in the campaign. Hanover was
annexed to Prussia in 1856 and King
George became an exile, dividing his
time between Austria, France and
England. When he died in 1878, the
Duke of Cumberland assumed the title
OF Ernest Augustus II, King Of Han
over, and maintained his claims In a
circular to the sovereigns Of Europe.
The Dukes royal relatives, however,
advised him to abandon his claims to
the Hanovarian throne, and to be con-
tent with his English title of Duke OF
Cumberland, but his bitter hatred OF
the Hohenzollerns continued until he
was finally persuaded to abandon the
feud in order that his son might wed
| the Kaiser's daughter.
