HOMEMADE LOTION FOR
WEINkLED, FLABBY SKIN

To remove wrinkles and age lines,
or to delay their formation. simple
lotion made by dtssolVing one ounce
of powdered saxolite IN q half-pint
of witch hazel, will be found won
derfully efflcacious. This tends to
tighten and tone up the relaxed skin,
making it firm and smooth. The IN
gradients of course can be had at any
drug store or in toilet sections of de-
partment stores.
Battle the face with this harmless
lotion daily for awhile and every line
will vanish, including the deepest
crowsfeet and burrows. Even the
first application gives surprising re-
suits. There is nothing better for
reducing double chin and sagging
cheek muscles, as wen as enlarged
pores. No trace of the treatment it
self remains on the face, so your
friends will not guess rne reason for
your re1uvenated APPEARANCE

MOVIE FOLKS
UP IN THE AIR
Three Completely Equipped Flying
Fields Operated as Sideline
by Magnates and
Actors.

Los ANGELES, Nov. s.-The
movies are seeking a higher plane
an airp1ane, as 1t were.
For some subtle reason. thus far
unexplained, airplaning has strongly
appealed to the movie folk.
AS a result southern California
now has three completely equipped
commercial flying fields, all operated
by motion picture magnates as
sldeline and as a means of amuse-
ment, and all doing thriving com
mercial business.
Cecil DeMille, noted director, was
the first to go up in the air over
aviation. He established DeMille
Iheld and later became the leading
spirit in the founding OF the Mercury
Aviation company which operates a
Ihalf dozen aerial taxis and will &C

with home remedies. Go to bed i'm

But there are preventive measures
which can prevent your being at

has proven efllcacious in cases OF
the treatment Of sore throat, la
grippe, tonsilitis, bronchitis, colds
and all troubles resulting from con-
gestion of the lungs and bronchial
tubes. Here is a plain statement on
Spanish Influenza by the secretary
Of the Board Of Health OF promi-
nent middle-west state.
This physician maintains that
Spanish Influenza is like sore throat,
la grippe, tonsilitis, bronchitis, colds
and similar troubles in that It Is
caused by infection Of the nasal pass
ages He recommends preventing
this-and hence, largely preventing
Spanish Influenza and other maladies
by keeping the nasal membranes
moist and plfable by means Of some
oily antisepic application.
For such treatment Men-ThoEze

extensively as the others. He's offer
ing, however, $4,000 for the first

The result of all Of this Is that Los
Angeles now claims to be the largest
commercial aviation center In the
world. Scores are learning to fly
and the hum of the airplane motor is
becoming such a nuisance that one
good minister is urging passage OF
law requiring flyers to shut off
their motors when they ny over
