To Renew Complexion
 Without Cosmetics

If the excessive user of cosmetics only knew the impression her artificiality really makes upon others. she would quickly seek means of gaining naturaf complexion, Let her acquire the mercolized wax habit dis carding make-ups entirely, and she will soon have the kind of complexion that women envy and men admire. It's so easy to get ar ounce of mercolized wax at any drugstore use nightly like cold cream and wash it of mornings. And the results are so remark able. Gradually the lifeless cuticle peels off in almost invisible flaky particles. In weel or so there's brand new complexion. clear velvety, soft. of girlish color and texture.
 The treatment is so simple, harmless, ant so marvelously effective. the wonder is tha every woman whose skin is withered. discol ored, rough. freckled or pimpled. has not al ready adopted it.

You Want Promptness

The other day in Chi cago a well known min ister forgot an appoint ment to perform a mar riage ceremony.
 You may picture for yourself the anxious party waiting at the church, the bridegroom pacing up and down, the crowd of curious on- lockers, and then the peace and serenity of the minister's study sud- denly disturbed by an irritated and belated telephone call.
 It is true there were other minister's; and one of them eventually tied the knot. It is also true that the minister lost his fee, which he could ill afford to do; and the happy couple will soon forget the unpleasant in- cident. rsr
 But they positively will never make another engsg ement with that minister
 Nor would that minis ter make a good agent for you or any other man to place his insur' ance business with. He might go mOonln g around for weeks while your house or your busl ness or your personal in surance policy drifteC like a chip in the eddy o1 a sluggish stream!
 What the people o1 Birmingham ant k promptness in the hand ling of their business by any public service man
 That is why the corp' of insurance experts il the Trustees System In surance Departm ent headed by James H AWtrey, are so popular That is why business i always rushing" in tha department.

 The three met some time yesterday afternoon and following a long con ference it was announced that both offices were now working in perfect harmony and that arrests may be looked for within the week.
