YOU'LL GET RID OF
BLACKHEADS SURE
There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never falls to get rid of
blackheads and that Is to dissolve them.
To do this Ret about two ounces of
plain powdered neroxin from any drug
store —sprinkle a little on a hot, wet
sponge—rub over the blackheads brisk
ly—wash the parts anil you will be sur
prised how the blackheads have disap
peared. Big blackheads, little black
heads, 110 matter where they are,
simply dissolve hnd disappear, leaving
the narts without any mark whatever.
Rlackhends are simply a mixture of
dust and dirt and secretions from the
liodv that form in the pores of the
skin. Pinching and squeezing only
cause irritation, make large pores, and
do not get the blackheads out after tliev
become hard. The powdered neroxin
and the water simply dissolve the
blackheads so they wash right out,
leaving the pores free and clean and In
I their natural condition. Anyone
troubled with these unsightly blemishes
should certainly try this simple method.

One da ya butler who had been in the
royal service for many years had the
misfortune to smash one of the pre
cious cups, and in an agony of fear
he went to Queen Emma and told her
what he had done.
"Never mind!" said her majesty.
"Stick the cup together with cement ■
and leave the rest to me."
This was accordingly done, and !
when the royal family sat down to tea j
the next day the mended cup was|
placed close to Queen Emma on the J
table.
Suddenly her majesty turned hasti
ly round to speak to the King, and as
she did so she swept the cup on to the
floor with her arm. As it crashed j
into a dozen pieces she pretended to I
be deeply upset, and said timidly to |
the King: "There, see what an awk- '
ward servant I am! You will have to J
dismiss me from your service.
Seeing how grieved she was, the |
King buried his chagrin and made!
[light of the matter, while the old but- 1
I ler who had broken the cup in the|
first instance stood tremblingly by, I
his good fortune that he pos-1
sessed a mistress who, by her tact and
kindness, had saved him his place.
