How to Absorb Freckled,
Chapped Or Harsh Skin

An over-red or sallow complexion,
or q chapped, blotchy, pimply or freckled
skin can be changed by quite simple,
harmless and inexpensive method, to one
of flower like radiance, spotless purity
and We lvety softness, One ounce of
common mercolized wax, to be had at
drug and department stores generally,
will remove the most unsightly COM
plexion in from one to two weeks. BY
its remarkable absorptive power, the
coarsened, roughened or discolored layer
of thin film-skin which hides the
healthier skin underneath is gradually
flecked off in tiny, almost invisible
particles. This is done so gently there
is no inconvenience, and no trace is
left on the skin except that of enhanced
beauty. The wax is smeared on like
cold cream before retiring and removed
in the morning with warm water. adv

THE PRIMARY DEFICIENCY.

The present New Jersey primary
election law needs changing. 1t is a
base fraud, as such laws go. The
spirit of fair ballot of any kind is
that it is no ones business how one
chooses to vote. Yet the present pri-
mary law says man mS st go to the
voting precinct and say Whether he is
Democrat, Republican, Heather,
Mugwump or whatnot. That is one
reason why SO few people are willing
to vote in the primaries. They are al
ways notably small in totals. Some
brave, progressive man should make a
name for himself by having the pri-
mary law changed to the same plan
that prevails in the regular election,
when Il man may go into the booth
and vote for whom he likes, and no
one can say aught about it. Why con-
tinue something that is an abortion?
