Proper Thing NouU Is to
Peel off SoiIed Skin,

Those who abhor sticky, greasy, shiny,
streaked compilations, should religiously
avoid creams, powders and rouges during
the heated days. There's no need for
them, anyway, since the virtues of merco-
liked wax have become known. No amount
of perspiration will produce any evidence
that you've been using the wax. AS it is
applied at bedtime and washed off in the
morning, the complexion never looks like
a makeup. Mercolized wax gradually
takes off bad complexion, instead of add
ing anything to make it worse. 1t has
none of the disadvantages of cosmetics
and accomplishes much more in keeping
the complexion beautifully white, satiny
and youthful. Just get an ounce of it at
your druggists and what few days
treatment will do. Use like cold cream.
Another effective warm weather treat
ment-heat tending to cause wrinkles and
fabbiness-is a skin-tightener made by
dissolving one ounce of powdered saxolite
in half pint of witch hazel. Its use las
a face BATH leaves no trace. Remarkable
improvement is noticed Immediately, and
there is harmful effect whatever.-Ad-
vertisement.
