Summer Soiled Face
It's really a ilmpl matter to renovat
a face foiled by tun, winds or dirt. Ordi
nary mercollzfd wax. used like cold craam,
will transform the worst old complexion Into
one of snowy whiteness and velvety soft
ness. It literally paWs off the outer veil of
surface kin, but so gently, gradually, there's
no discomfort. The worp-out skin comes
off, not in patches, but evenly, in tiny par
ticles, leaving no evidence of the treatment.
The younger, healthier underakln forming
the new complexion Is one of captivating
loveliness. One ounce of mercollied
wax, to be had at any drug store. Is enough
to remove any tanned, reddened, pimpled,
freckled or blotchy akin. Apply before re
tiring, washing It off mornings.
Many skins wrinkle easily with every wind
that blows, with heat, worry, etc. An ex
cellent wrinkle remover, because It tightens
the sktn and strengthens relaxed muscles.

The Remington Self Starter
(Column Selector) adds at least 25
per cent, to the speed of the typist
in writing ordinary letters.
It does this by .cutting out all
the tap, tap, tap, and fumble and
fuss in setting the carriage. No
matter where the line begins, the
carriage practically sets itself. All
the operator does is WRITE.
The Self Starter is a Remington
feature exclusively. No other type
writer has it or anything like it.
A demonstration will prove to you
that the Remington Self Starter is the
most important time and labor saving
feature ever placed on the corre
spondence typewriter, Come

TJie Self Starter adds to the
