WHY?
WHY DO WE HAVE WRINKLES
Copyright, 1920. By
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

Az most people realize, wrinkles are
synoms with worry and with age.
the former leading to involuntary con-
fractions of various portions Of the
face-particularly those situated near
the eyes and rnouth-and the latter
causing the tissues which support the
outer layers OF skin TO sag and give,
thus giving rise TO burrows and wrink-
les. Beauty hints and the claims OF var
ious preparations 70 the contrary,
wrinkles are really unavoidable, though
freedom from worry and the scientific
anulscation of massage treatments and
reliable skin foods viii prevent them
from appearing at a comparatively ear
ly age.
AS time goes on, however, the skin be-
comes shrivelled and puckered, es-
pecialIy in persons who are thin, for
here there is no underlying foundation
OF fatty tissue to support the skin,
which becomes too loose for the body
and fer into folds. In pc IS who
are old-ninsty or mors-tns skin oft
en- gets SO thin and so much Of It
wastes away, that the majority or the
wrinkles disappear and the skin ap-
pears quite smooth.

size of dodder seed, but in general
they are usually dull-cOated with

are usually smooth, rounded, and pos

the scar on dodder seed usually is
very inconspicuous, whereas the scar
