Instantaneous Wrinkle
Lotion Easily Made
(From Signs of the Times.)
Beauty specialists, physicians and
chemists long have sought some method
of removing wrinkles that would not only
be really effective, but that would not
injure the skin in any way, nor cause any
bad after-effect. A simple astringent and
tonic lotion which seems to meet these
requirements has at last been found.
Any woman can easily make the prep?
aration at home by procuring an ounce
of powdered saxolitc and a half pint of
witch hazel at the nearest drug store,
mixing the two. By bathing the face in
this liquid the skin immediately becomes
taut and firm, likewise the muscular tissue
underneath. The effect is to push out
and obliterate the wrinkles, as well as to
draw in hanging skin about the cheeks,
chin or neck. Enlarged pores are reduced
the skin looks more refined and the face
more youthful. The lotion is wonder?
fully refreshing and invigorating.

SHERMAN LAW IS FEARED
George W. Perkins Has "Cure,:'
Which He Relates to
Committee.
Washington, D. C, December 13.?
George W. Perkins, llnancler and direc?
tor of the United States Steel Corpo?
ration, who occupied tho wltnesp aland
practically all of to-day, discussed
with members of the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce hid Ideas of
how a commission could meet the bus?
iness situation, and was subjected to a
running Are of questions by members
of the committee. He said that tho
practical way to give the country's
"big business" relief from existing un?
certainty and depression would be to
create In tho Commerce and Labor De?
partment a business court or control?
ling commission, with the power to
license corporations doing Interstato
cr International business. Violations
of regulations laid down by such a com?
mission, he urged, should be punishable
by Imprisonment of Individuals, rather
than by revocation of licenses.
Mr. Perkins said this commission or
court should bo composed largely of
experienced business men. Ability t6
comply with conditions laid down by
Congress In creating the commission
and with regulations preserved by the
commission ttsclf. ho declared, should
be the test of an applicant for license;
publicity both before and after l'cens
ing should be tho essential feature of
these regulations, and every company
should be required to secure tho ap?
proval by the commission of all Its
atfalrF. from capitalization to business
practice.
Mr. Perkins suggested that In the
beginning only broad principles be laid
down, with a view to elaborating and
perfecting them as conditions roquire.
After proposing this plan for Imme?
diate relief, Mr. Perkins offered another
for "prospective relief.1' This contem?
plated the appointment by the Houso
and Senate of a committee to make a
careful study of the Sherman law ami
the various suggestions that have been
made regarding Its appeal, amendment
and amplldcatlon, and to report on the
wisdom and practicability of a national
Incorporation act.
"Any ono familiar with present bus?
iness conditions in this country, both
as to domestic and foreign trade," said
Mr. Perkins, "realizes that the brakes
arc on. We are not expanding our
domestic trade to the extent we should.
New enterprises ore not being under?
taken a? freely as thy should be. Cap?
ital In this country Is contracting
rathr than expanding Its operations,
while Oermany, Canada and other coun?
tries are forging ahead with their In?
dustrial plans. The reason for this
attltudo on our part arises largely from
the fear engendered by tho prosecution
under the Shermaji act. At the pres?
ent time the business man's complaint
Is that he does not know when he Is
right or when he Is wrong; that this
apparently cunnot be known until he
is prosecuted and his case reaches the
court, and that as matters now stand
he does not and cannot know as he
proceeds with his business whether he
is a good citizen or a criminal."
He declared In conclusion that im?
mediate relict is clearly desirable, If
such relief can be provided along con?
servative lines.

The Easiest Way
To Remove Fuzz
(Boudoir Secrets.)
No longer is it necessary for women
troubled with hair on face or arms to
submit to the torturous electric needle,
or experiment with injurious prepara?
tions, for it has been found that ordinary
powdered delatone, mixed with water to
form a paste and spread on the hairy sur?
face, will remove every trace of hair or
fuzz.
After leaving the delatone on for two or
three minutes it should be rubbed off and
the skin washed. Not only will the hairs
vanish, but the skin will be left white,
soft and firm. Even though druggists
charge a dollar for an original one-ounce
package, no one will hesitate an instant
to get it, as it is unfailing.
