Clever Beauty Secrets REVEALED BY A LONDON CHEMIST j-™- This series of artides by E. W. jdF ' 'Di Sinitn. M.P.S., a Hp ' Z qualified registered London chemist and pharmacist, is particularly interesting because of its autlioritativeuess. Considering the bowildering mass of toilet requisites now otfered to the public, y|L $ -. S' Air. Smith's simple and homelv sugges- . lions should come as a ercat relief to the puzzled beauty seeker rhe dispensing chemist, above all others, is in a position to judge results from long experience with thousands of oases. Air. Smith has made a special study of the chemistry of beauty culture for many years, and the time is npe for some such expert's clear statement, backed by the authority of experience and knowledge. Renewing Complexions. It is foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a sallow complexion., when, you can so easily remove the sallowness itself. Rouge and the like on a brownish skin only emphasises the defect. The better way, is to apply pure mercolised wax—the same as you would cold cream —putting it on at night, removing it in the morning with warm Tater and eoap. following with a dash of cold water. The effect of a few applications is simply marvellous. The half-dead cuticle is absorbed by the wax —painlessly, gradually, in tiny imperceptible particles. revealing tho beautiful velvety white new skin beneath. No woman need have a sallow, blotchy, pimply or freckled complexion if she will just get some good mercolised wax and use as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. / The women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a moth id of permanently (eradicating the same will come as a piece of good news. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be used. Almost any chemist should bo able to supply an ounce of this drug. The recommended treatment. _is designed not only to remove the disfiguring growth instantly, leaving no. trace, but also to actually kill the hair roots without irritating the skin. The Kiss Curl. I cannot too strongly condemn the use of the hot curling-iron. It means death to the hair eventually. Aloreover, it is entirely' unnecessary. The hair can be made beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any form desired, merely by using such a simple ingredient as pure silmerine. This perfectly harmless should be applied to the hair'vwith a clean tooth brush at night. In the morning you will find that a very beautiful natural wave and curliness has. resulted, and the effect will last many days. The liquid silnierine is very benefi’cixl. and is not sticky or greasy. A couple of ounces should last a very long time. The Magnetism of Beautiful Hair Beautiful hair adds immensely to the personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are ever on the look-out for any harmless thing that will increase the natural beauty of the hair. The latest method is to use pure stallax .is a shampoo on account of the peculiarly glossy, fluffy and wavy effect which it leaves. As stallax has never been used much for this purpose it comes to the.chemist only in Jib. sealed original packages, enough for twenty-five or thirty shampoos. A tea-spoonful of the fragrant stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient, for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulating to the hair, apart from its beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny nose and a dull or greasy complexion. Few know that there is an instantaneous remedy at hand in the home, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection even under the closest scrutiny. If you have not eleminite in the house, get about an. ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to the face will instantly cause tho greasiness to disappear. and the skin will have a perfectly natural, velvety youthful bloom that any woman might envy. The effect will last for many hours, and no powder is required, even under the i.iost trying conditions, indoors or out. To prepare the face, neck and arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom, nothing can compare with this simple home-ir ado lotion.

Hid the elneh of creeds and dogmas without end, Wo puzzle o'er life's chart of many ways. Are we worshipping sincerely as we wend? Are we mortals pious only when it pays? Devotees now treat the devil as a joke. And dull, penitential Sabbatba quite abjure: Hut when gripped by influenza they invoke Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.—Advt.
