"Complexion Secrets Of An Actress" In a recently issued volume bearing the above title, the author says: "Con tinuous use of grease mints, rouge and the like, had ruined my complexion. My skin was colorless, wrinkled, coarse and punctured with large pores. In Eng land I heard of the virtues of mercol ized wax; my first experience with this marvelous substance convinced me it was more valuable than all cosmetics combined. Now whenever my complex ion begins to go wrong I get an ounce of mercolized wax at the nearest drug store, spread on a thin layer of it be fore retiring, washing it off next morn ing. The wax, after a few such treat ments, seems literally to absorb the worn-out cuticle, when a brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin ap pears. "For the wrinkles and enlarged pores I began using a solution of saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the face in this every day for awhile soon relieved the condition most wonderfully."

Smooth, Hairless Skin Follows This Treatment (Toilet Tips) Among the home-beauty helpß. none perhaps is more Important than that which will free the skin from obnox ious hairy growths. A simple method to rid the skin of unsightly hairs is to make a paste by mixing powdered delatone with water and applying for about 2 minutes, then rubbing o(T. With it comes every bit of hair and when the skin is washed, it will be firm and free from blemish. Results are more satisfactory If the delatone Is bought in an original package. DR. D. J.
