A special subcommittee, headed by

Skin Without Wrinkles
Now Easy to Have

There's no excuse for any woman
having wrinkles now. 1t has been
found that a simple mixture Of sax
olite and witch hazel has a remark
able action upon the deepest
wrinkles, no matter what their na-
ture, whether caused by worry,
habitual frowning, debilitated
condition or the ravages Of Father
Time. This harmless remedy,
which anyone can easily make and
use at home. acts both as an astrin-
gent and a tonic. The combined
effect of tightening the skin and
heightening its vitality is to imme-
diately affect every line and
wrinkle. keeping the cuticle smooth
and firm as in youth
The proportions are one ounce
saxolite (powdered) to one-half
pint witch hazel, ingredients which
are found In every drug store. The
solution should be used as a wash
lotion. IL Is equally effective in
disposing OF flabbiness of cheek
the eyes.-Ady E>.
