How American Women
 May Keep Faces Young

"The American smart woman ages early, far earlier than. the EngnSh woman" says Christian Miller F. C. l., the famous English health expert. She adds that our climate "so exhilarates that you overexert yourselves and grow hilarating air dries the skin. The skln that lacks moisture grows pale and withered looking and soon forms wrin- kles.
 '"The American complexion" is best treated by applying pure mercoltzed wax, which causes the faded, lifeless cuticle to flake off in minute particles, a little each day, until the fresh, young skin beneath is wholly in evidence. Ev cry druggist has this wax; one ounce usually is sufficient. Spread on at might like cold cream, washing 1t orr |neXt morning.

POLICE ARE AFTER
 TRAFFIC WOLATORS

Saturday five automobiles were "pinched" by the traffic department of the city's police force for the violation of parking rules. Their owners will in all probability be separated from five dollars each for the infraction of the city ordinance. Careless driving and general indifference on the part of motorists has been on the increase for several weeks and the police authori- ties have decided that unusual severity and strictness in enforcing the traffic regulations must be employed to con- bat them. Every day collisions are re- ported from the crowded downtown corners, and the traffic authorities are quoted as saying that it has been only the guiding hand of providence which has prevented the loss of life and limb.
 Since the adoption of the last set of traffic regulations, more than 30,00O copies of the rules have been distrib- uted and ignorance of them, say the police, can be only the result of indif- ference. They warn the public to make itself thoroughly familiar with traffic regulations and to obey them strictly.
