To Keep the Face
Fresh, Clear, Youthful
More important than the cosmetic
care of the complexion is its physical
care. To keep the face clear, fresh,
youthful, there's nothing better than
ordinary mercolized wax. It absorbs
the. soiled or faded worn-out skin par
ticles. Cosmetics simply add un
wholesomeness to the complexion.
That's the difference. By all means,
acquire the mercolized wax habit. It's
so easy to get an ounce of the wax at
the druggist's, apply at night like cold
cream and wash it off next morning.
There's no detention indoors, the old
skin coming off so gradually no one
suspects you're using anything. When
in a week or two the alluringly youth
ful, roselike underskin is fully in view
—well, you won't want, or need, a
make-up complexion after that. It
must be apparent that this process
means complete riddance of all cu
taneous blemishes, like freckles, pim
ples, blotches and blackheads.
For a wrinkled, loose or saggy skin,
a face bath made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxollte in a half
pint witch hazel, surpasses massage
cream and everything else for results.
Its action is instantaneous, and per
fectly harmless. It Improves faciei
contour wonderfully.—Advertisement..

How to Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness or Head Noises
If you have catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises caused by catarrh,
or if phlegm drops in your throat and
has caused catarrh of the stomach or
bowels you will be glad to know that
these distressing symptoms may be
entirely overcome in many instances
by the following treatment which you
can easily prepare in your own home
at little cost. Secure from your drug
gist 1 ounce of Parmint (Double
Strength). This will not cost you
more than 75c. Take this home and
add to it % Pint of hot water and I
ounces of granulated sugar; stir until
dissolved. Take one tablespoonful tour
times a day. An Improvement Is
sometimes noted after the first day's
treatment. Breathing should become
easy, while the distressing head
noises, headaches, dullness, cloudy
thinking, etc., should gradually disap
pear under the tonic action of tne
treatment. Loss of smell, taste, de
fective hearing and mucus dropping In
the back of the throat are other symp
toms which suggest the presence of
catarrh and which may often be over
come by this efficacious treatment. If
nearly ninety per cent, of all ear
troubles are caused by catarrh, there
must be many people whose hearing
may be restored by this simple home
treatment. —Advertisement.

Wealthiest Indian Puts
$640,000 Into Bonds

Barnett, reputed to be the wealth
iest Indian in the United States, to
day subscribed $640,000 to 'Liberty
Loan bonds through his guardian,
Carl J. O'Hornett, of Henryetta,
Okla. Secretary Lane's ruling that
Barnett, who is a ward of the gov
ernment, might do this opens
(he way to many Indian subscrip
tions.
Barnett, full-blooded son of a
Greek chieftain, derived his wealth
from oil lands near Tulso, Okla.,
which he at first indignantly reject
ed. declaring the tract fit only for
coyotes and jack rabbits and in no
wise sutted to an Indian who mere
ly wanted to fish and hunt as he
pleased. The discovery of oil and
the lease of Burnett's land made
the Indian a "millionaire—he had
$755,895 cash on deposit May 1 last
—but he was unable to handle his
financial affairs and a guardian was
appointed for him. Barnett" has
never accepted more than $175 a
month of his income and shows lit
tle interest In tho size of his for
tune. Last year he paid an in
come tax estimated at $50,000.

PICK SERVICE
AT FT. NIAGARA
Many Pcnnsylvanians Will
Select the Artillery
Branches
Fort Niagara, N. Y„ Juno 12.
Twenty-four hundred Pennsylvanlans
in the Reserve Officers training camp
here are to-day making a decision as
to what branch of service they wish
to enter at the end of the present
term of training. Their decision
must be presented in writing to Lieu
tenant Colonel John W. Heavy, chief
instructor, t>y this evening.
This decision Is regarded as a seri
ous matter by the. men and they are
taking their time in deciding. Al
though the blanks to be filled out were
distributed some days ago few have
signed them and sent them in to
headquarters.
Many of the men who had first in
tended to enter the infantry branch
have changed their minds since the
bayonet drill wos taken up. The stu
rdent officers do not fancy the possi
bility of this mode of fighting.
Jinny dinar Artillery
It is considered likely that a large
number of the Pennsylvanlans will
chose the artillery branch and its
subdivisions. Home will specifv the
coast artillery and others the field ar
tillery, theso men desiring to see early
service in France.
The student officers have been
quietly informed that there is little
room in the cavalry branch for them.
Only one troop of cavalry will be sent
out of camp to complete training.
Many of the men have declared their
desire to enter a machine gun bat
talion and it is more than likely that
a machine gun battalion will be train
ed here.
The aviation corps is claiming a
large number of recruits. Eleven stu

AGtDS IN STOMACH .<
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain
How to Treat
Medical authorities state that near
ly nine-tenths of the cases of stom
ach trouble, indigestion, sourness,
burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc.,
are due to an excess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach and not as some
believe to a lack of digestive juices.
The delicate stomach lining is irritat
ed. digestion is delayed and food
sours, causing the disagreeable symp
toms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try layin/g aside all digestive aids and
instead get from any druggist a few
ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and
take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass
of water right after eating. This
sweetens the stomach, prevents the
formation of excess acid and there Is
no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated
Magnesia (in powder or tablet form
—never liquid or milk)'ls harmless to
the stomach, inexpensive to take and
is the most efficient form of magnesia
for stomach purposes. It is used by
thousands of people who enjoy their
meals With no more fear of indiges
tion. Geo. A. Gorgas.—Advertisement.
