once went to the paddock and looked over
the horse closely, that had ben entered
IN the race as Grey Plume, Then they
went out into the betting ring and got

that although there hadn't been much

that a white scar on the horse had been
painted out. Grey Plume had no such
scar; Trade Mark did The judge de

But the officials refused to permit the
horse to run in that race. Instead they
led him from the paddock into "dobe

day they ordered the horse and his own

the last ever seen of either around Mex

smoothly. 1t wrinkles or says.
To remedy this condition. there's nothing
so effective, quick acting, as a simple
wash lotion easily made at home. Just get
an ounce of pure powdered saxolite from
your druggist and half pint Of witch hazel
mix the two and battle your face in the
liquid This at once tightens the skin and
solidifies the underlying tissue-whieh. Of
course, smooths out the lines and draws in
the sagging skin. 1t also stimulates capii-

a chance in that race. And they opened
the betting ring by quoting something
like 70 to / against the chances OF Grey
Plume.
While the horses were being led around
in the paddock just before the race an
old Kentuckian, watching each horse
closely, turned to a friend and said:
