TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS
To clear up and whiten tbe ekln
and secure that charm of pink and
white youthful freshness go much
desired by all women you will find
It far eajfer to rely upon a good fare
lotion rather than powder. To get
rid of that shiny and muddy appear
ance in your complexion, dissolve
four ounces of- spurmax In one-half
pint hot water, and add two tea
spoonfuls glycerin. Apply thla to
your fare, neck and arms, rubbing
gently until dry. Thla lotion does
not show or rub off like powder and
Is much better. It is splendid for
removing tan, freckles, pimples and
sallowness.
You can make a delightful sham-'
poo for a very trVfllng cost If you get
from your druggist a package of can
tbrox and dissolve a teaspoonful In,
a cup of hot water. Pour a little
at .a time on- the scalp and rub
briskly. . This creates an abundance
of thick, white lather that thorough
ly dissolves and removes all dan
druff, excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with
a fluffllneBS that makes it seem
heavier than It is. and takes on a
rich luster and a softness that nakea

An air attack by one ship, followed

Beginning today we are pleased to
announce a real cut in the ENGER
SIX-50. This is identically the
same car we had for 19T5 with some re
finement. We have not cheapened the
car, but made it better. The cut is as much
or more than anybody has made or claimed
to make this year so far. Several have an
nounced cuts in price, but on examination
of the specifications and car, you will find
'most of the cut has been made in the ma
terial and car as well as the price. Not so
with the ENGFR. We are cutting price
only. We certainly do not hesitate to say
now that this is the best car on the market
for the money
We invite inspection and trial of the
tfreat ENGER SIX. Cut in price is only
on account of our buying ability and fa
cilities for handling and building cars.
Cut does not take place January 1st or
August lsfT but takes place on Wednes
day, June 16th, and cars are ready for
delivery
There is nothing on the street that is nicer
at anywhere near the price. Parts are ab
solutely standard throughout with the
concern behind them that makes good.
Compare specifications of the ENGER
SIX -with cars selling for the same
money; then compare with the cars sell
ing for $2,000 and see to what class they
belong.
