approached a group of them who
were watching Lima Cayalieri work

he asked. Immediately they all
crowded around and declared them

before the camera, sometimes knee
deep in ice cold water and other
times hauling in fish, rowing boats
out from the shore and combing the
beach. They received $500 day
for their labor and seemed well
satisfied. Director Jose learned af-
forwards that they usually make
$500 a week at this season of the

earnings for the sake of becoming

done for three days along the Glou-

At very little cost any woman can

naste is spread upon the hairy sur
face for 2 or minutes. then rubbed
off and the skin washed. when every
trace of hair will have vanished. No
harm results from this treatment,

mand on the drug trade was uuex-
pected and overwhelming, and TO

Retail druggists kept omen day and
