Costs Only 3 Cents to
Remove Wrinkles

Better than massage for removing
wrinkles and age lines. far less eX-
pensive and bothersome, is a
simple Tarkroot mixture which
any woman can prepare and apply
in a jiffy. Almost Immediately
after spreading this over the face
there is a pleasant, soothing sensa-
ton and the mirror shows the
horrid age lines and "sags" disap-
pearing like magic. In less than Is
/ minutes the face is as smooth and
/ firm as a schoolgirls. Seems al
most too good to be true, but the
actual experience quickly removes
all doubt.
/ All one need do is to procure an
/. original package of Tarkroot from
the druggist, mix a spoonful with a
spoonful of lemon juice and apply
with the fingers. This, of course,
/ is perfectly harmless. It is easily
washed off, leaving the face Won
derfully refreshed and rejuvenated.

Nick The Greek, F" The :
International Gambler
Passes Through City

Many people of national promin-
ence pass through Winslow annu-
ally on the main line of the A. T.
& S. F. Some receive much pub
licity-some merely passing notice,
others are not even recognized.
This week mick, the Greek" in
ternationally known as the biggest
gambler in the world, passed thru
here on No. 4, eastbound, enroute
from Tia Juana to Chicago. Nick
had been to the Mexican border
Monte Carlo, where he offered a
bet of more than 100000 on the
races, but was not taken. The
amount was enough to break the
association if Nick won, so he was
told there was nothing doing"
Unable to place his money on any
thing else, due to his reputation,
he decided to return east, he told
passengers on No. 4 here Monday.
Mick, the Greek" represents a
series of clubmen in the east made
up of his own nationality, who
peel their money and place it with
him to bet the limit on anything,
no matter what the game of
chance, if he sees fit. 1t is said
that Nick has the keen eye of an
eagle and the craftiness ia fox.
Not a few years ago he cleaned up
over 100000 in one game in Los
Angeles, turning the tables on a
gang of crooks who had framed
