MISS T. /. R.-You are perhaps one
OF those who have been mixing pow
ders into paste to remove superfuous
hairs You have probably found it
very distasteful, not to say irritating
and dangerous. This is not ut all
necessary. There are lots of things
that will burn off" hairs, and they
will irritate and redden the skin ut
the same time. What is desired is TO
use something which has for its work
merely the removal CT hair. and moth
ing else. This is very easily accom-
plished by the application OF few
drops of sulfo solution on the hairs to
I be removed. The hairs can then be
wiped off with the finger. leaving the
| skin exuuisiiely fresh and beautiful.
! This sulfo solution can he Frequently
used. and just as easily. and with as
| lotion. 1t can be secured 1T any drug
store.
EXPECTING.-Thc following method
of removing wrinkles is entirely revo-
lutionary. 1t is done by the. common
sense method of making the pores
smaller. 1t is surprising the effect that
this produces. The texture OF the
one knows how wrinkly coarse
skin usually is. This is because the
tissue Is nabby and the pores arc
large. BY this new method the pores
| brace up" the skin becomes more
vigorous, and as natural result
wrinkles begin TO disappear. Get Il
two-ounce package of eptol. BY mix
ing this with ujst one tablespoonful Of
glycerine with water. n cream is Sc
cured which is extremely satiny and
delightful. The cptol can be secured
ut the drug store, and the quantity of
wrinkle remover which can be obtained
for the small cost will make you revel
in 1t. and you will also get the results.
BUTTERFLy.--You will find tho
shampooinr Of hair no drudgery. but
an unqualified picnic" by using, in
stead of the usual headwashes. a tea
spoonful of the powder, eggol, dis
solved in cup OF water. 1t is safe to
say that you never realized your scalp
could be SO clean. and your hair so
gloriously silky. The cause of much
OF the hair trouble we hear. about is
the accumulation Of fatty substances
and dandruff scales on the scalp. These
can hardly be removed as they should
be by the ordinary methods of cleans
ing tho scalp. They must he dissolved
away. and this eggol does 1t In SPLEEN
