Facial Operations

Paraffn is used for filling Impressions in the faces of patients by placing the wax under the skin in solid state, in stead of melted, as has been done gener- ally in the past says the Popular Me- chanics Magazine. The method followed is very simple. After the material has been sterilized by heating, 1t is poured into a basin and allowed to solidify. It Is then broken up, and piece of the proper size is shaped with knife to serve the purpose for which it is in- tended. small incision is made in the skin at the point where 1t is desired to made in the skin at the noint where 1t is disired to insert the paraffin, and the bit of wax is pushed through the opening

It was Charlie Chaplin who stopped the flu epidemic, at least that is what the motion picture producers told Herbert Corey, who says, in Everybody's. Per- haps they ere wrong. but this is their reasoning: For five weeks the flu had ragged. In the west people wore flu masks. The film houses and regular theatres were closed. Department stores suffered The film manufactures agreed to produce nothing for period in order to save the situation financially. Then Chapln's sec ond film of .he year was put on the mar ket.
 We could rot keep the houses closed say the managers. The people would not stand 1t. So we reopened them and nothing happened There was no more flu than there had been. A ghost had been laid" '"

Of the experiences which l have gone through of the dsappointments which have suffered of the temptations have overcome
 And in this story too I have woven the adventures and the dangers which have come to girls that have known.
 Love is very wonderful thing, but oh how few of us really find it. and how often we fail to recognize 1t when it comes
 am going to lay bare every secret of my troubled life shall hold back nothing Because is my dream that what I write may prove of help to at least one lonely heart and if accomplish this my work shall not have been in vain.
 Much of what am going to write will be hard to tell but you will know that every word comes from heart that for many long year starved for love, but which now is so filled to overhowng that want vou too, to share in the happiness which came to me late but which thank God, came to me at last.
