To Remove First
 Signs of Old Age

The infallible first sign of age is the sagging cheek muscles" says Mime. Cava- lieri. whose fame as beauty culturist is scarcely less than that as a songstress These are more difficult and serious to treat than wrinkles" she continues "The saggng muscles indicate they have grown too weak to remain in place; they must be assisted, strengthened"
 The best way to strengthen them is by bathing the face in . simple lotion made by dissolving an ounce of pure powdered saxolite in half pint of witch hazel. This creates . freer circulation to the parts, besides causing muscles and skim to contract. Saxolite. procurable at every drug store. has long been known by com plexion specialists to possess remarkable tonic and astringent properties. valuable in treating flabby tissue and wrinkles.-Adv.
