What to Use and Avoid
On Faces that Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. 1t
also must perspire-must expel, through
the pores, Its share of the body's waste
material. Certain creams and powders
clog the pores, interfering both with
elimination and breathing, especially dur
ing the heated period. If more women
understood this, there would be fewer
self ruined complexions. II they would
use ordinary mercoliZed wax they would
have healthy compilations. This remark
able substance actually absorbs a bad
skin, also unclogging the pores. Result !:
Inc tresher, younger under skin is per-
mitted to breathe and to show itself.
The exquisite new complexion gradually
peeps out, one free from any appearance
Of artifciality. Obtain an ounce Of mer-
colized wax from your druggist and try
It. Apply nightly like cold cream for a
week or two. washing 1t off mornings
To remove wrinkles, here's a marvel

naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve an
