APYERTIKEMEXT How Many Men Keep Youthful Looking It is well known that within recent years the men have become extensive patrons of beauty specialists and mas seurs. Not only the fastidious, but men generally who have a care for personal appearance. This has also led to tin employment by many of home methods calculated to enhance or preserve physical attractiveness, especially by those who abhor "beauty parlors." Of these, per haps the most widely used is (he mer coltzed wax treatment, which explains the mystery of the silver-haired gentle man with the boyish face. The mercolited wax, obtainable at any drug store, is ap plied the same as cold oream, only not rubbed in. This gradually absorbs the, dead and half-dead cuticle in tiny parti cles, revealing the fresher, healthier-hued ski beneath. To secure best results many apply the wax at night, washing it off in the morning. Women not only encourage husbands in this, but use the treatment themselves. To keep away wrinkles and flabbl. ness. many men use. after shaving pref. erably. a simple lotion made by dissolv ing an ounec of powdered -saxolite in a half -pint of -witch hazel. Thia gives splendid results. ' -- rrr PILES FREE TREATMENT We rty postage snd send frrs Bed fro pile S '1 T stls Curs nCA CO. Oast. 47. Hlnssasslli. Mia.
