This Actually Removes
Superfluous Hair Roots
ENTIRELY New and Quick Method)

By the introduction in this country
of what is known as the "phelactine
process" any woman can now rid her
self completely Of annoying super
fluous hair or fuzz. The process is
entirely new, different from all 9th
ers, and far better-because it re-
moves the roots, as well as the sur
face hair! 1t is almost instantane-
Gus, perfectly harmless, odorless and
nOn-irritating.
Just get a stick of phelactine from
your druggist, follow the simple direc-
tions--and see the hair roots come
out, with your own eyes! No depila-
tory or electrical treatment can pro-
duce this result. The skin is left
soft, smooth and hairless as a child's.
Phelactine can be used with absolute
safety-one could even eat it with i'm
punity.-advertisem

WARDMAN TO SELL
NEW APARTMENTS
To Erect No More Buildings
on Speculative Basis at
Present Time.

Plans have been inaugurated by
Harry Wardman for the erection of a
number of apartment houses in Wash
ington on the cooperative plan Of the
10 per cent plus cost. basis.
Mr.. Wardman says he has decided
not to build any more apartment
houses in this city on speculative
basis. The housing condition of
Washington and practically every
other large city in the United States
today is great deal more serious
predict that If this condition keeps
up for another ninety days. next year
families will be living in one room.
Building Loans Small.
AT the present time we have in
Washington great many families.
even man, wife and two children,
living in two-room apartments, which
is unquestionably un-American. Our
banks, trust companies. firms and in
divlduals who make loans on real
estate. and firms and men who have
of Washington feel that they cannot
possibly make loans any larger with
safety, and for myself / agree with
them. because | undoubtedly think
that they are right, and that being
the case. we have decided not to build
speculative basis.
THE difference between the cost of
a building today and the amount of
the loan is so great that it is unques-
tionably suicide for any speculative
builder to attempt to build"
Mr.. Wardman said, however, the CO.
operative apartment house ownership
plan appears to be developing in a
very satisfactory way and that he has
decided that if the public will buy
these apartments and help to finance
them by paying from rs to so per
cent cash. he will try to build a few
this coming year. He said that other
wise. at the present time he does not
see any workable plan to develop
properties.
Homes Are Scarce.
Something must be done for the
people in this city in order to give
them places in which to live" he said.
