Don't Squeeze Black Dissolve Them

Squeezing and pinching out blackheads
 make the pores large and cause irritation
 then, too, after they have become hard you
 cannot get all of them out. Blackheads are caused by accumulations of dust and dirt and secretions from the skin and there is only safe and sure way and one that never fails to get rid of them-a simolr
 way, too-that is to dissolve them Jus get from any drug store about two ounces of calonite powder-sprinkle a little on q hot, wet sponge-rub over the blaekheads briskly for few seconds-wash off and you'll be surprised to see that every black head has disappeared. and the skin will be left soft and the pores in their natural con- dition-anyone troubled with these un-
 slightly blemishes should try this simple method.-Adv.
