Try Skin Absorption Instead of Cosmetics (From the Woman Militant.) The constant use of rouge and pow der Invites a coarsened, roughened con dition of the skin, eruptions, enlarged pores and wrinkles. If you've learned this from experience, suppose you quit cosmetics and try what I recommend Ask your druggist for an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax and begin using this tonight. Apply like cold cream, washing it off in the morning, keep this up for a week or two. The wax will literally absorb the- coarse, colorless or blemished top skin, but so gradually as not to discommode you at all. Just as gradually the clear, vel vety, naturally tinted underskln comes to the surface. And mercolized wax becomes your everlasting friend. For those wrinkles and large pores make a face bath by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witoh hazel. This has remarkable astringent and tonic properties, and beneficial results come quickly Adv, roadway ana Morrison YOU'LL find even better than you expect in fine apparel for the Gentleman.
