CHANGING HER FACE
(From the Household Friend)
Any woman not satisfied with her com

is an encumbrance and should be removed
to give the fresh, vigorous young skin
underneath a chance to show itself and to
breathe.
Thsrs s a aimpls old-fashioned home rem
edy which will always do the work. Get
an ounce of pure mercollsed wax from your
druggist and apply it at night Uke cold
cream, washing It off In the morning. The
mercollde will gently absorb all the life
less skin and leave a healthy and beautiful
complexion, as fresh as a child's. Natur
ally It take with It all such facial blem
ishes as freckles, tan, moth patches, sal

pleasant to use, effective and economloal.

Confidence in a product is established only by its qnality,
iiot how it is made. Machines alone can not produce good cuts.
They are only a part of the manufacturing facilities. Halftones
and zinc etchings require the intimate touch of the artist and
engraver to give depth and color value. Progressive methods,
plus skilled workmanship is the service we offer to the cut users.
