L. R. you are perhaps one iuto wno nave Deen mixing pow paste to remove super- iuua nairs. iou nave probably found it very distasteful, not to say irritating and dangerous. This is not at all necessary.

There are lots of things that will "burn oft" hairs. thov will Irritate and redden the skin at ine same time. Wftat is desired is to use something which has for its work merely the removal of hair, and nothing else. This is very easily accomplished by the application of a few drops of sulfo solution on the hairs to be removed. The -hairs can then be wiped off with the finger, leaving the skin exquisitely fresh and beautiful.

This sulfo solution can be frequently used, and just as easily and with as much pleasure as any face cream or lotion. It can be secured at any drug store. EXPECTING. The following method of removing wrinkles is entirely revolutionary. It is done by the common sense method of making the pores smaller.

It is surprising the effect that this produces. The texture of the skin is immediately made finer. Every one knows how wrinkly a coarse skin usually is. This is because the tissue is flabby and the pores are large. By this new method the pores "brace "up," the skin be comes more vigorous and as a natural result wrinKies begin to disappear.

Get a two-ounce package of eptoL By mixing this with just one tablespoon-ful of glycerine with water, a cream is secured which is extremelv satinv and delightful. The eptol can be se cured at the drug store, and the quantity of wrinkle remover which can be obtained for the small cost will make you revel in it and you will also get the results. BUTTERFLY. You win find the shampooing of hair no drudgery, but an unqualified "picnic" by using, instead of the usual head washes, a teaspoonful of the powder, eggol, dissolved in a cup of water. It is safe to say that you never realized your scalp could be so clean, and your hair so gloriously silky.

The cause of much of the hair trouble we hear about is the accumulation of fatty substances and dandruff scales on the scalp. These can hardly be removed as they should be by the ordinary methods of cleansing the scalp. They must be dissolved away, and, this eggol does It in splendid fashion. It lets the hair breathe, takes off the seal which has kept the pores choked and robbed the hair of Its growing power. Try tnis eggol and you will find it a revelation.

Enough eggol can be obtained at the drug store for twenty-five cents to last for a dozen or more shampoos. JMPIJJBIUa. 121 MARKET-ST.

OrientalrCrei a 1 for Trial RlM rnsx T. HOPKINS rw Tj flair Can Be Forced to Grow ScTcral Inches a Month, It Will Stop Falling Out In a Few Days. Some Other Beauty Methods Exceptionally Effective. By Valeaka Snrnft Strengthening and enlarging the of the hair Is one of the real fcecrets of forcing hair to grow, something which has heretofore not been fully realized. Merely stimulating the surface tissue of the scalp will not stimulate the hair growth to the extent desired.

By the new method just mentioned hair can be forced to grow several inches a month. Hair will stop falling as if by magic. The new vigor of the hair will be quickly noticed, and all bald spots will be soon entirely filled out with new sprouts. This can all be easily obtained by the simple use of beta-quinol, which can be secured at any drug store In the original one-ounce package. This can be easily mixed at home with a half pint of bay rum and a half pint of water.

It contains no oil whatever. DESPAIRING. "Skin transparency" can not be achieved by the use of many of the ordinary face creams sold. The tissue immediately below the Burface can be affected in such a way that every uneven spot, all so-called "muddiness," can be made to disappear quickly. The following very simple means will bring this about in a very astonishing way.

When zln-tone, a powder, is mixed with water (about a pint), and two tablespoon-fuls of glycerine, it makes a thick cream. This should be used liberally every day, and other complexion creams avoided for the time at least Soon the blemishes, red spots, freckles, sallowness and muddiness will give way to a startling rose-petal transparency. The zintone may be secured at any drug store in one-ounce original packages. This is not a wrinkle-remover, but a complexion beautlfler par excellence.
