How to Keep Age-Lines
 and Wrinkles Away

Don't forget that the woman who smiles will have a skin more free from wrinkles than the woman who frowns. When wrinkles begin to appear it is a good plan to bathe the face once q day for while in a harmless solution made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saEolite in half pint of witch hazel.
 This is remarkably effective in eras- ing the hateful lines. not only because or it's astringcnt action which tigitens the skin, and thus irons out the lines, but also because of a helpful tonic ef- feet which improves capillary circula- tion and nerve tone. There is nothing better for fiabby cheeks or skin Be sure to ask the druggist for the pow dered saXolite

feet of water into which he fell five
minutes later. The police station
was called a half dozen times and
asked to send city physician. No
physician could be found and an

ment of son of the dead man, who
accompanied his father when the po-

there.

and no trace of the money was found
there. Members of the family ex-
pressed the belief the money disap-

was rescued from the water and be-
fore he arrived at the hospital.

Mrs. Redin possessed at the time.
Her husband had been paying on a

The company has refused to pay the
insurance pursuant to the report
made by Detectives Thestrup and

committed suicide by jumping into

Despite Mrs. Redin's appeal to the

husband committed suicide, Police
