Real Wonder W orker
 For Wrinkled Faces

Those who have tried all sorts of so-called wrinkle removers' in a vain effort to lose those unwelcome traces of age, illness or worry, can scarcely find words to express their delight with the wonderful saxolite formula. once they have given it a trial. The success of this method is due not alone to it's marvellous effec- tfver ress-upon the deepest lines and crowsseet as well as upon the very fine ones-but also to it's surprisingly ouick action and it's entire harmless ness. Its simplicity is another com mendable feature, for one need only dissolve an ounce of powdered saxo- lite in a. half pint of witch hazel, and bathe the face in this solution. At once a remarkable transformation is beheld.
 It is not only the effect on wrinkles and creases that is so noticeable. but facial contour is remarkably improved and the face looks much younger One should be sure to ask the drug gist for the powdered saxolite. The 10 ion, being so refreshing. is parti- c114arlv grateful 70 tired faces.-Adv

 Be Prevented

KEEP AIR PASSAGES CLEAR
Inflamed Air Passages Make Ideal Breeding Grounds
 for FIue Germs.
Flu This Year Is NtiIder

While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year-the germ itself has never been positively identified - still most au- thoritieS agree that the flu germs are breathed in. If the system is in good shape and the membrane or lining or the air passages is in healthy condl- tion-these germs are thrown oil.
 A good plan is to melt little Vick VapoRub in a spoon night and morn ing, and inhale the vapors, also apply a Bttle up the nostrils several times a day, especially just before being ex- posed to crowds.
 Treat All Colds Promptly.
 Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the ar passages and make them real breed ing grounds for germs. Prompt use of Viclx's VapoRub aids in preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or Hearseness, rub Vicks well over the throat aud chest and cover With warm flannel cloth, For deep ches' colds, severe sore throat or broncnI- tiS, hot wet towels should hrst De ap piled to the throat, chest ana oach between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then ViciSs should De rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red-Spread on thickiy ana covered with two thicknesseS or not flannel cloths. Leave the cloth1ne loose around the nGChs So CHe N"POt Si released by the body heat may be freely released by the body heat, may be freely inhaled.
 These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the lungs and air passages At the same time Vicks is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, thus aiding to relieve the congestion within.
 Use Of External Treatment for Colds
 Increasing.
 Vie3S's VapoRub is the discovery of a orth Carolina druggist who found how to combine in Salve form, the standard time tested remedies am phor - MenthOl - Eucalyptus - Thyme etc.-so that when the saiTe is applied to the body heat, these in gradients are liberated in the form o1 vapors.
 Vicks is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, since Il is externally applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects.
 The best evidence of the value of Vicks is the steadily increasing num- ed to the use of this outside treat ment.
 Beginning with the customers of a small retail drug store, the use o1 Vicks has grown year. by year state by state-untn now more thar IT million jars are used annually And this in spite of the fact tha Vicks is a new form of treatment tt many folks in the North and West . Vicks can be had at all druggists 1T three sizes-S0c, soc or $1.20-Adv.
