WRINKLES ALL
AWAY
Read What A Grandmother
Says About Usit, the Won
derful Skin Treatment
"The bottle of Usit has completely
cleared my face of the horrible
wrinkles that were such an eyesore
to my five daughters, and even my
grandchildren have their say about
Grandma's wrinkles. It is a Godsend
to wrinkle suffering humanity."
It really seems to make no dif
ference whether wrinkles are due to
advancing years, or other causes.
When Usit is regularly applied for a
reasonable time the> disappear, the
skin regains its former smoothness,
plumpness and color and the youth
ful appearance returns. Usit is such
a splendid skin treatment that every
woman, old and young ought to have
a bottle on her dressing table always.
It not only banishes wrinkles but it
keeps the skin soft and velvety, sup
plying just the nourishment re
quired. Rough skins are made
smooth; sallow, dry, faded com
plexions get back their natural fresh
ness from its use, and It is also a tine
treatment for freckles, blackheads
> and many forms of eczema,
j Gorgas, the druggist, and all other
I first class dealers can supply Usit.
| It is not a cream or paste, but a pure
| nut-oil liquid, always put up in
i bottles. The formula for this truly,
| wonderful preparation came from
j Egypt where it hag been in use by
I famous beauties for centuries. Usit
lis very daintily perfumed, guaran
! teed not to cause hair-growth, and
the first few applications will make
| such a difference in the looks of your
I skin that you will be delighted. It
| is only necessary to use it at night
before retiring.

APPLICATIONS
FOR FT. NIAGARA
NOW OVER 250
Will Receive Recommenda
tions Only of "Specially
Qualified After Today
Candidates recommended by the
local examining board for the offi
cers' training camp at Fort Niagara
have passed the 260 mark. The office
this morning was packed because no
applications could be filed after
noon and the half-dozen physicians
who have been examining candidates
were overworked.
Although no word has been re
ceived from the War Department on
an extension of time for enrolling ap
licants, the Military Trairfing Cainps
Association issued a bulletin from
New York this morning that speci
fically qualified applicants for the
camps may be examined until May
7. Names and addresses will be re
ported by wire to Camp Commander
Colonel Samuel W. Miller.
Captain Harrell has placed the fol
lowing interpretation upon the
term "specially qualified," and after
Monday no applicant will receive
any consideration at the recruiting
office except men of real military
training, educated and of broad ex
perience in affairs generally, on an
average between the ages of 25 and
40 years.
The men who have been recom
mended for the camp as having pass
ed the physical examinations and
being possessed of the necessary edu
cational and military qualifications
will have to be approved by the
camp commander before being
ordered to the camp. Possibly fifty
per cent, of the number recommend
ed will be among the number finally
accepted, and the 2,500 who are to
go will be notified on May 8 or 9 of
their selection. They will report at
Fort Niagara not later than May 14
and will receive each SIOO a month
and expenses.

HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.
Whatever the cause, we want to
say to every person who needs
strength, you need Vinol as it is the
most efficient strength creator we
have in oar store. Here is proof
from Dorchester, Mass.:
"I don't know what we would do
without Vinol in our family. I was
weak, nervous and run-down as the
result of an operation, and Vinol
restored my strength. Then Grand
mother had a nervous breakdown,
and Vinol built her up and restored
her health and strength after every
thing else had failed. We have used
Vinol for 13 years in our family, and
would not l.e without it in the
house." Myrtle L. Healy, Dorches
ter, Mass.
We believe in Vinol because we
know it is a great strength creator—
due to the beef and cod liver pep
tones, iron and manganese pepton
ates and glycerophosphates, all dis
solved in a pure medicinal wine, so
we always return the purchase
money if Vinol fails to benefit those
who buy it.
