Louise Huff'S
Beauty Talk

That dainty and charming actress,
Louise Huff, is famous for her beau
tiful complexion and as an author of
many articles on the subject of
beauty, she has been persuaded to
tell the readers of this paper how
they may quickly acquire a soft.
smooth, rosy-white complexion like
hers. She says: "To get the best re
suits the skin should be thoroughly
cleansed, then apply Derwillo which
can be obtained at the toilet counter
of any up-to-date drug or department
store" This instantly beautifies the
complexion and its continued use
makes the results permanent. Over
five hundred thousand girls and
women are using Derwillo in prefer
ence to face powder and other beau
tifiers and they are just as enthu-
siastic over it as Miss Huff. BE sure
to read her large article on he COM
plexion soon to appear in this paper.
In the meantime get Derwillo which
she recommends and try it today
you will be delighted with it and
soon have a complexion for which
everyone will compliment. you. Ring
