Simple Home Remedy
For Wrinkled Faces
(From Fashion Monthly.)
Thousands of women are spending
fortunes In their frantic efforts to re- |
move the signs of premature age from
their faces. When In this slate of
mind a woman will spend almost any
amount of money on worthless wrinkle
removers, of which there are many.
If these women only knew It, the
most effective rems'ly imaginable is a
simple, harmless face wash which can
be made up at home In less than a
minute. They have only to get an
ounce of powdered saxollte and half
a pint of witch hazel at the drug store
and mix the two. Apply this dally as
a refreshing lotion. The effect Is al?
most magical. Even after the ftr.'t
treatment a marked Improvement Is
noticed, and the face has a smug, firm
feeling that Is most pleasing.

? Mount Morlah Church. Pnwhatan
' Vii,".-. will be the meeting place next

Association, and Rev. W. H. Lawson
will preach the Introductory sermon.
This was decided yesterday at the
meeting of the association, which has
been in session the past two days at
the Weatherford Memorial Church.
South Richmond.
The final session takes place tins
morning. It will he devoted to the
llnal consideration of several Import
I ant church activities, and to the elec
, tion of officers for the coming year. The
> ehooslng of the officers at the close of
I the convention Is a departure from
the practice that has obtained up to
this year, the officers having always
been elected at the beginning of the
annual sessions. The change was de
] elded upon at the present meeting
The officers to be elected this morn
j Ing are: Moderator. Clerk, treasurer
I and the executive board.
Speaks Ills Mind.
"The Training of Our Young Peo?
ple" was the. first subject announced
by Modern tor Davidson at the open?
ing of the session last night. It .fur?
nished Pastor W. C. Scales, of the
vVeatherford Memorial Church, with
the opportunity of scoring what ho
considers a reprehensible tendency In
the smaller churches?the unnecessary
formation of Raptlst Young People's
L'nlons, when some other form of ac
i tlvlty would be far more useful. He
I quoted Wagner's dictum that no or
j gantzation even rises hierher than Us
I leading spirit and denounced Rnptist
I Young People's I'nions when without
j efficient leadership.. Without a good
j and dominating personality to guide
these organizations, he said, they be
i came a force for lndiqerence Instead of
; good.
j The pastor. In his opinion, holds the
I key to the situation. No one has as
! good an opportunity as he. to guide
i nnd lead the young people of both
sexes to a life In Christ,
j Through the medoum of the Sunday
j school and mid-week meetings he has
! frenuent opportunity to work good,
j With the efficient Baptist Young Teo
i pie's l'nlons he has no qinrrel.?they
1 are a great force for good, he said;
I but too many of these young people's
! organizations soem to aim at turning
out good public speakers Instead of
servants of the Lord.
Dr. A. Bagbv. who spoke on the
same subject thought that too much
stress Is laid on the Importance of
church organizations in forming the
charncters of thn ypung. The task
belongs properly to the home, and no
amount of present day sophistry. In
his opinion, will ever be able to shift
the responsibility to other shoulders.
Defends Organization.
An unwillingness to leave the sub
I Ject of the Baptist Young People's
I I'nlon In th? somewhat compromised
j position In which It was left bv the
] first speakers, prompted W. R. Miller
to Its defense. While ho admitted that
I It wos not always possible to attain te
I the Ideal organization, he held that
I even a moderately successful Baptist
i Voting People's Union In a church, was
i far better than none nt all. He ex
i pressed himself as unable to under?
stand how It would be easier to effect
the evangelization of the young by
the means suggested by the ttrst-epenk
er. The Baptist Young People's Union,
he thought, was sure to do good wher?
ever organized.
Reports were heard on the suhiecf of
home missions, and two illuminating
addresses were delivered bearing on
this phase of church work Dr. Wes
ton Bruner. formerly of Cavalry
Church, this city, nnd now superinten?
dent of the evangelistic work of the
