CUTTINGS FROM BEAUTY ARTICLES. THE HRF.AM OF MODERN BEAUTY ADVICE. REMOVING BAD COMPLEXIONS Cosmetics can never really help a poor complexion; often they are positively harmful. The sensible, rational way is to actually remove the thin veil of stifling, half-dead scarf skin from the face, and give the fresh, vigorous; and beautiful young skin underneath a chance to show itself and to breathe. This is best done, in a very simple way, by merely applying mercolised wax at night, like cold cream, and washing it off in the morning. It absorbs the disfiguring cuticle gradually and harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural complexion. Of course, this also takes with it all. such blemishes as red blotches, tan, moth patches, sallowness, liver spots, etc. The new skin is usually several de grees lighter, and finer in texture. TO KILL HAIR ROOTS Women annoyed with disfiguring frowths of superfluous hair wish to now not merely how to temporarily remove the hair, but how to till the roots permanently. For this purpose pure-powdered pheminol may he applied directly to the objectionable hair growth. Tne recommended treatment is designed not only to instantly remove the hair, hut also to actually kill the roots so that the growth will not return. About an ounce of pheminol should he sufficient. HOW TO HAVE THICK AND PRETTY HAIR

Soaps and artificial shampoos ruin many beautiful heads of hair. Few people know that a teaspoonful of good stallax dissolved in a cup of hot water has a natural affinity fer the hair, and makes the most delightful shampoo imaginable. It leaves the hair brilliant, soft and wavy, cleanses the scalp completely, and greatly stimulates the hair growth. The only drawback is that stallax seems rather expensive. It comes to the chemist only in sealed 41b packages. However, this is sufficient for 25 or 30 shampoos, and it really works; out very cheaply in the end.
