Of many small warts on the face.
The British Medical Journal tells how

cuts them of with fiat sharp steel

This Is painless, but 1t leaves tiny

applied twice again the same day. On
the second morning the sites of the
warts have small brown scabs, which
are bathed once day with pure al

APPLE TIME.

Indication that the apple season Is In full swing
Those who can pick the fruit are fortunate, Tor
the apple fresh from the tree. at this time OF
the year, Is unrivaled In flavor and temptlngy
tnrt and juicy. But the privilege Of gathering
apples Is no longer limited to those who live In
the country. for nowadays many families who
own cars avail themselves of the opportunity Of
motoring to the suburbs, where they may either
gather a generous supply from unclaimed trees
or purchase the privilege of picking better WI
rietiss from the orchard of some thrifty farmer
After few of these trips the housewife will hnd
that she has obtained enough apples to supply
her family with "A variety Of preparations for the
