A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman for
trying to look as young and attractive as
she reasonably can? Why should she be
placed at disadvantage in numerous ways
by wearing wrinkles, if she can avoid these
hateful marks of advancing age? Few wom-
en- however, know what to do to effec-
tually rid themselves of wrinkles saggi-
ness. Most of the advertised preparations
are unsat isfactory and very expensive. But
q very simple and harmless home remedy,
which any woman can make. will work
wonders where all the patent preparations
fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite at any
drug store. Dissolve the whole ounce in a
half pint of witch hazel and use as wash

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, July 2.-Eagerness of dis
tillers to seize the last chance to make
whisky before being shut off by war
legislation was one Of the reasons
given today for prevailing fancy prices
on corn. Exporters were also said to be
unusually active. Besides anxiety con-
tfnued regarding possible damage from
scorching temperatures in the south
west, especially in Oklahoma. Fresh
advances in values took place, although
the market on Saturday had broken the
high record. Reports of showers in
Kansas however, tended somewhat to
check the aggressiveness Of the bulls.
Opening quotations, which ranged from
Nc off to cent up with July at $1.5S
to $1.58A and September at STATS to
$1.4S, were followed by a general up
turn of about cent.
Additional upturns accompanied a
substantial decrease in the United
States visible supply total, but the ad-
vances We're not well maintained. The
close was unsettled, 1 cent net lower
to a gain of 2asc with July at s2.01 and
September at $1s4&.
Wheat and oats sympathized with
the strength Of corn. Trading in wheat,
though, was nearly at a standstill ow-
ing to general expectation of complete
control soon by the federal government
After opening unchanged at $1.S2R for
September and no dealings in July, the
market rose to $1S5.
The fact that no corn was delivered
today on July contracts here tended to
bring about further sharp upturns. and
so too did comprehensive advices which
indicated that the condition of the 1917
crop was below normal in the import
ant producing states. The close was
nervous IN to 2Hc above Saturdays
latest figures.
Commission houses were moderate
purchasers Of oats. About the only
selling came from pit spectators.
scantiness Of offerings lifted pro-
visions.
