A Simple Way to
Reduce Wrinkles
Remember that wrinkles and hac-el-
ness of cheek lr chin -re due to the
muscular tippuej losing Its strength and
shrinking The skin is then too large
in area to fit such tissue smoothly, it
wrinkles: or sags.
T remedy this condition, there's
nothing too effective. o quick-acting-,
as a. simple wash lotion easily made' at
home. Just get an ounce of pure pow
dered saxolite t your druggist's, and
a half pint of witch hazelmix the two
and bathe your face in the liquid. This
at once tightens the skin and solidifies
th- underlying tissues which , of
course, smooths out the lines and
draws in the sagging skin. It also
stimulates capillary circulation, bring
ing natural color to faded, checks.

Higher Salaries Great Need
A olea for higher salaries to
maintain the efficiency of the school
system was made by Mr. Todd who
declared that the personnel changes
every year because of more tempt
ing offers elsewhere.. This, hinders
the smooth working of the system
he said. ,
He paid high tribute to the school
board, declaring that the members
are working conscientiously for the
good of the schools and that none of
them "has an ax to grind."
"The situation in the Salem pub
lic schools today is the clearest it
has ever been," said Mr. Todd In
conclusion, "and it is up to you bus!
nesa men to keep it so, by giving i
good men on the board. Without
good directors the faculty and offi
cial personnel of the school can do
nothing. And don't forget the
teachers' salaries." I i
Mr. Todd was enthusiastically ap -
plauded.
The meeting was attended by
about 50 business and -professional
men. Robert C. Paulus, president of
the club, presided.

APPLES BILLED

Boxes of Jonathans and

It is quite a long jump from Sa

But that is the journey scheduled
for 4900 boxes of Jonathans and
Home Beauties, something over six
carloads of apples.
They.wUl go by way of San Fran
cisco,, an dthey have been sold by
Itobert C. Paulus. who is manager
for the Willamette Valley Fruit ex
change.
They are small apples In size, but
good in quality. They-will be sold
by count by the retail dealers of that
far away land, and they could not
stand the long price and the long
journey and tne long freight charges
of larger sizes, per apple, or per doz
en. or In whatever way they will be
counted when the ultimate consumer
In New Zealand will bite Into them
If one goes through the country
surrounding Salem there days, he
will wonder what Is going to become
of 'all the1 apples but when it Is
considered that there are many ways
of taking care of them, including the
journey of some of them to the ends
ot the earth, the - wonder becomes
less. t-mmtm
In, fact, when all matters are ad
justed, after Uncle Sam gets his name
on the dotted line of the peace treaty

Have worked out for a spell, or
couple of spells, the apple hungry
world will easily take all the applcsR
this district can supply, no matter
how large may be the bumper crops
of the future and they are going
to mount up to surprise the old tim
