Freckles and Blotches

II yon are bothered with any eutaneous
blemish, it's a poor plan to use paint,
powder or anything elese to cover it up.
Too often this only emphasizes the defect.
Besides, It's much easier to remove the

wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradu-

and water. Many who have. tried this
simple, harmless treatment report aston

plausible explanation. The house had
been long unoccupied and was infested
with bugs. Dr.. Stapleton had used q

and went to Reeds Spring for the day,

habit, his friends say, oi coming 10
from q trip, throwing himself ACROSS the
bed, without undressing, and smoking
for a while before retiring. One breath
