To Peel Off Freckled,
Blotchy, Pimpled Skins

AS March winds, flying dust and
dirt, are apt to iLSure any complex
ion. this information will be Of spe-
cial value right now. If you have any
cutaneous blemish, don't use paint,
powder or anything else to cover it
up. Too often this only emphasizes
the defect. Besides, it's much easier
to remove the Disagreement with Or
binary mercolized wax. Applied night
ly, the wax will gradually remove
freckles, pimples, moth blotches or any
surface eruption. The affected Gu
ticle is absorbed, little each day, un-
til the clear, soft, youthful and beau
tiful skin beneath is brought wholly
to view. Ask the druggist for one
ounce of mercolized wax and use this
like you use cold cream. Remove in
the morning with soap and water.
Many who have tried this simple
harmless treatment report astonishing

Spade Best for Smaller
Gardens; Process Explained
for Amateur at Work

Plowmen and teams are scarce
around cities and the smaller garden
plots can often be spaded to much
greater advantage than they can be
plowed. Where there are a group Of
community gardens located on a clear
plot of ground, they can often be
plowed together, and thus consider
able labor Is saved.
But the small garden plots, especial
ly in back yards, must be spaded. A
considerable area can be spaded If the
work Is done little at time so that
1t does not become tiresome.
A good job of spading will always
put the land in better condition than
blowing, but there are few points in
connection with good spading that
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture specialists explain them as fol-
lows:
In the first place, the land should
never be turned when it is extremely
wet The plowman's test Is to squeeze
together handful OF freshly turned
earth and If it sticks together in
ball with the imprint of the hand upon
it, it is too wet for blowing or spading.
But IL it crumhles when the pressure
is released, the soil may be considered
dry enough to spade or pillow.
Second, do not turn the land up in
large spadefuls. Begin at one side OF
the plot and work back and forth
across the plot, maintaining straight
line cutting the soil in thin spadefuls
and turning it completely over If the
soil does not crumble readily, use the
edge of the spade and break up each
spadeful Immediately after it IS turned.
For this work the ordinary square
pointed spade is considered the most
desirable. On loose soils and on land
that was spaded or plowed during the
autumn. a four-tined spading fork is
often preferable to spade. While
the fork will not turn the bottom soil
10 the surface quite as we'll as the
spade, this complete turning is not de-
sirable on land that was plowed or
spaded last fall, and the fork leaves
the soil in a more finely divided condl-
ton.
The Jumps that escape breaking dur
ing the spading process should be
pulveriZed within an hour or so after
the land is turned over This can be
done either with steel rake or with
q hoe, care being taken to go deeply
enough into the soil to break up all
clods that viii interfere with plant
ing.
Thorough preparation Of the soil Is
the keynote to success in gardening.
Spade reasonably deep and loosen the
lower strata of soil without bringing
very much Of the subsoll to the sur
face. The English gardeners spade
Two or three lengths OF the spade, In
depth, working manure into the sub
soil to a depth of II or IA inches. Half
the work Of cultivation should be done
before the seeds are planted in the
