Healthy, Wrinkle-Free
Skin Easy to Have
(From The Woman Deautlful)
A dull, drab, muddy, complexion, or a
blotchy, pimply or freckled skin, can by
a quite simple, harmless and inexpen
sive method, be changed to one of
flower-like radiance and purity. One
ouhoo of common mercollzed wax, sold
by druggists generally, will remove the
most unsightly complexion In from one
to two weeks. By Its remarkable ab
sorptive powec the withered, faded, or
discolored layer of thin nlm-skln which
hides the healthier skin underneath, la
gradually flecked off In tiny, almost In
visible particle. This I done so gently
there I no Inconvenience;-and no traee
Is left on the skin except that of' en
hanced beauty. The was Is smeared
on lke cold cream before retiring,' and
removed In the morning with warm
water.
If the skin be wrinkled or saggy, a
face bath, by dissolving 1 ox. powdered
saxollte In M pt witch hazel will be
found most effective. Combining both
astringent and tonic properties, this
tightens the skin and .braces up It
supporting muscles.
It's Time You Bought a Home
These are the best years of your life. The time when you are fined to enjoy things most. Don't mistake this fact. Easy payment

"Where and of Whom Should I Buy?

business concern in and out of the city with whom it has had dealings during the years of its existence.

tional but merely the improve
ment that time and experience has
given us. Certain it is, that here is
a home value unsurpassed in this

facts about this home and the fact
that should appeal to you, is that
a cash payment of but $300 is re
