gave up hope until I heard of PE
RL'-NA. I tried it. Followed in

It is not necessary for anyone
to go on year after year suffering
with catarrh in any form. PE-RU
NA is just as effective for catarrh
of the stomach, bowels. liver and
other organs as it is for coughs,
colds and catarrh of the nose and
throat. It is by regulating the di

membranes healthy, the body is
better able to repel disease and
ward off such troubles as the Grip
and Spanish Flu. PE-RU-NA is of
extraordinary value in rebuilding
the body to normal health and
strength.

Bad Complexion
Peeled Off At Home |
The girl with the poor complexion j
complains. "I have to touch up my I
cheeks. 1 am sallow and a sight, and !
unlv inv makeup saves me."
Now. as a matter of fact, more wo- i
men spoil tlieir good looks than im- j
prove thorn with cosmetics. The prac- [
tiee < ertainly is unnecessary, now ■
that the virtues of ordinary tnercoliz- |
ed wax as a beautifier have become |
known. It has been found that the i
wax has wonderful absorbent powers.
It causes the faded or discolored '
scarf skin to flake off in minute, al- 1
most imperceptible particles, so gent-
I ly, gradually, as to cause no incon
' venience at all. In this way the old
complexion is actually removed
i likewise all tine lines, freckles, pim
ples, blotches, moth patches and
I other surface defects. A new complex
-1 ion appears—a clear, smooth, youth
i ful. healthy-hued skin such as no
paint, powder or cream can produce.
Mercolized wax. to be had at any drug
store in convenient size package, is
applied like cold cream and allowed
, to remain on over night.

SCHOOL TAX RATE
JUMPS FIVE MILLS
Marysville Board of Educa
tion Compelled to Increase
Levy For Coming Year
Marysville, Pa., June 4.—The
I maximum tax rate for school pur
j poses permitted by law, will be paid
by Marysville property owners this

ough school directors to tlx the rate
this year at -'5 mills.
The new rate is live mills beyond
the rate paid the past several years,
j Every cent of it will be needed to
cover school expenses this year, di
rectors explain.
That the borough may be in a
position to pay its share of the
proposed increase in teachers' sal
aries, provided in the bill now be
fore the Legislature, is given by of
ficials as one of the reasons for the
need for the jump. Other expenses

risen considerably within the past

ed as other reasons for jumping the
tax rate.
School directors to-day said that
the low assessments made otP bor

sible for the high tax rate.
