It is well known that within recent ye: &e men have become extensive pas---s of beauty specialists and mas ,seurs. Not only, the fastidlous. but men generally who have a care for personal appearance. This has also led to- the employment of many home methods calculated to enhance or preserve physical attractiveness, especially by those wno abhor beauty parlors.' Of these. per per coilzed wax treatment which explains the mystery of the silver-haired gentle, man with the boyish face. The nlercolized wax, oftainable at any drug store, is aI,-

 rubbed in. This gradually absorbs the dead and half-dead euticle in tiny parti- cles. revealing the fresher, healthier hqed skin beneath To secure best results,
 many apply the wax at night, washing It off in the morning. Women not only en- courage husbands in this, but use the treatment themselves. l, To keep away wrinkles and Aahbiness,

ROLLER RINK
New Skating Rink Will BE Opened
in Ford Garage Building.

The Ford Garage building on East
Superior street has been leased TO j.
Foch Of PetOskey who announces that
on Saturday new roller skating rink
will be opened at that location under
the name of the Palace Roller Rink.
The Ford Garage, which was ac-
quired by c. NJ. Johnson, several
years ago, was before that time used
as a skating rink for some years,
the large floor space, making it an
ideal place for such a place. Work
men are now busy there with an
electric scraper, which is smoothing
down the roughened floor, again
making it suitable for skating
rink.
It is the plan of Mr.. Foch to have
the rink open every night, follow
ing the opening Saturday. The mat
inee Saturday afternoon will be for
the youngsters Of the city.
Mr.. Foch has had experience in the
roller skating business in a number
Of states in the Union, and may be
depended upon TO give Alma first
class skating rink at the new loca-
tion.

etc So far 35,5s2 men have been
aided in this country
The Gratiot committee had 1884

arships are still available, it is re-
ported

ed il is said, with a gun in the hands
Of John Miller, farmer living two
miles east of Alma, and kept away
from his automobile, in which he
had driven to the place just shortly
before.
When Miller first objected to Will
lard taking the car, the latter be-
came rather insistent, naturally
that he be allowed to take his own
auto. Then, it is said, Miller went
into the house and got a gun, and
returning covered willard and in
formed him that il would be advis
able to vamoose.
This Willard did. Officers were
called both Fsom Alma and from
Ithaca, who reached the place at
about the same time. Miller was
subdued by the officers, and taken to
Ithaca.
It was then found, it is said, that
Miller had been drinking, and Off

LOCALS WIN
High School Wins Over GreenvilIe
Eleven to 0.

The Alma High School football
team put over another victory Fri
day defeating Greenville high at
Greenvile under conditions that
were anything but good, a lone
touchdown and the resultant goal
kick being the margin Of the locals.
AT that il does not show the super
iority of the Alma elan over the
Greenvilleites.
The only score Of the game came
late in the second quarter, when a
long forward pass, that went thirty
yards, Stearns to Brad Sartor, put
the latter in a position to romp over
Che goal with the counter. Alma
kicked the goal making her total
seven.
The game was hard fought from
start TO finish as the score would
indicate, but excessive penalties on
the part of the Greenville official
killed off several Alma scoring
chances, once calling the ball back
for the inflicting of penalty, after
the locals had crossed the Green
vile goal. Time and again Alma
carried the ball into Greenville ter
titory, but in two of the four quart
ers, they were unfortunate in hav-
ing TO travel the last few yards
through heavy sand, and in both
periods Greenville managed to hold
Alma away from the goal. In the
other two periods heavy penalties
cost counters for the locals.
Greenville put up a fine battle, at
every stage of the game, and al
times made good gains against the
Orange and Black, but when punch
was needed TO shove over touch
downs, the Alma team would brace
and hold so solidly that Greenville
had no chance TO score
Stanley Sarter, Stearns, Brad Sar>
tor and Marzoff all played in splen-
did form for the locals, especially
Stearns. who put up the best brand
of football that he has shown this
year.
