over 30 years ago. Yet you see me
still playing youthful parts, and l
look like girl of 10.
Many girls one-third my age en-
w my youthful bloom. Countless
women marvel at my smooth, soft,
rosy skin. And thousands have ask

employ.
I am doing that now, as a duty 10

bring to scores Of my friends the
results they brought to me. So !
am convinced that millions of wo-
men can, in these ways, multiply
their beauty and retain their youth.
My Famous Cleanser

does much for me. call it my Fa-
cial Youth. Lucie Lantelme, the
famous Partisan beauty, gave me
the formula many years ago. Now
the worlds greatest experts in beau
ty are advising this formula, but
they price it too high for most wo-
men.
My Facial Youth contains no ami
NAL, no vegetable fat. So it cannot
grow hair on the face. 1t cannot as
simulate in any way with the skin.
1t simply penetrates to clean the
skin to its depths. When I wipe It

HOW TO BUY A LOT
IMPORTANT BEGINNING
Homebuilder Stands Change of
Loss by Not Properly Inform
ing Himself.

In many cases a family buys a lot
and starts building on it within. few
weeks or months. This is vastly differ
ent, as noted above. from buying sew
eral years in advance of building. While
there may be enough increase in land
values, in the latter case. to give some
profit, speculation is involved The
outgo for taxes is sure, and there may
be special assessments for street and
other improvements, which must be
added as part of the cost of the lot
There is also a continual loss of inter-
est on the money invested in the lot.
Lots are frequently sold to innocent
purchasers in a territory that will not
be developed fog years 1t is to be
noted that some cities prohibit building
where sewers have not been installed.
The question of how much to spend
for the lot itself depends largely on
whether or not 1t is improved" Where
streets. curbing, sidewalks, water, cleo
trio, Sas and sewerage improvements
have not been made, lot may some
times be obtained for less than S per
cent OF the total cost of the house and
lot and 10 per cent should probably
be the upper limit. If all improvements
have been made, the cost of the lot fire.
quently runs up to 20 per cent, but it
should rarely exceed 25 per cent
