A Home Recipe for
Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying TO look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a disadvan-
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, " she can avoid these hate
full marks Of advancing age? Few
women. however. know what to do to
effectively rid themselves of wrinkles
or sagginess. Most Of the advertised
preparations are unsatisfactory and
very expensive. But a very simple
and harmless home remedy. which
any woman can make, will work
wonders where all the patent prepara-
tons fail.
Buy an ounce Of powdered saxolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the
whole ounce in half pint Of witch
hazel and use as a wash lotion. The
results are practically instantaneous.
Marked improvement Is noticed Inn
mediately after the very first trial.
Wrinkles and sagging are corrected
and the face feels so refreshed and
