How Many Men Keep
Youthful Looking

1t is we'll known that within recent
years the men have become extensive
patrons of beauty specialists and mas
seurs. Not only the fastidious, but men
generally who have a care for personal
appearance. This has also led to the
employment by many Of home methods
calculated to enhance or preserve phys
ical attractiveness. especially by those
who abhor beauty parlors" or these,
perhaps the most widely used Is the
mercolized wax treatment, which ex-
plains the mystery of the silver haired
gentleman with the boyish face. The
mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug
store, is applied the same as cold
cream, only not rubbed in. This grad
ually absorbs the dead and half dead
cuticle In tiny particles. revealing the
fresher healthier hued skin beneath
To secure best results many apply the
wax at night, washing IL off in the
morning. Women not only encourage
husbands in this, but use the treat
ment themselves.
To keep away wrinkles and flabbi-
ness, many men use, after shaving
preferably. a simple lotion made by
dissolving an ounce OF powdered saxo-
lite in half pint OF witch hazel. This
gives splendid results. adv.
