UNIQUE PROCESS 
FOR RETAINING and 
REGAINING BEAUTY. 
By MLLE. CHARLOTTE SIRIER 
Does your skin chap or 
rou)^hen easily, or become 
unduly red or blotchy ? Let 
me tell you a quick and easy 
way to overcome the trouble, 
and keep your complexion 
beautifully white, smooth, and 
soft. Just get some ordinary 
mercolised wax at the chemist's, 
and use a little before retiring 
as you >vould use cold cream. 
The wax, through some peculiar 
action, flecks off the rough, 
discoloured, or blemished skin. 
The worn-out cuticle comes off 
just like dandruff on a diseased 
scalp, only in almost invisible 
particles. Mercolised wax 
simply hastens Nature's work, 
which is the rational and proper 
way to attain a perfect com- 
plexion, so much sought after, but 
very seldom seen. The process 
is perfectly simple, and quite 
harmless. « * * 
It is astounding the number of women who suffer froi'n un- 
sightly growths of hair on the face, and it will come as a piece 
of good news to know that tliere is a simple substance, known 
as powdered pheminol, which will remove it immediately and 
permanently. Mix a small quantity into a thin paste with a 
little water, and apply to the objectional growths. In two 
minutes all trace of tlie hair will have entirely vanished, and 
vour skin will be as soft and smooth as a child's. 
* * * 
Tiie hair should be allowed to breathe, and the greasy film 
aiound each strand must be removed with a mild non-a!kalinc 
shampoo. Soaps should l)e tabooed. The very best solution 
for the purpose can be made by dissolving a teaspoonful of 
stallax granules in a cup of hot water. It stimulates the scalp 
to healthv action, and at the same time leaves the hair in that 
soft, fluffy condition so much admired. Any chemist can suppl\- 
you with'an original packet of stallax, sufficient to make twcnty- 
fi\-e or thirty shampoos. * * * 
One need not resort to the very questionable expedient of 
hair-dve in order not to have grey hair. The grey hair can 
easily be changed back to a natural colour in a few days' time 
merely by the application of a simple, old-fashioned, and per- 
fectly harmless home-made lotion. Procure from your chemist 
two ounces of tammalite concentrate, and mix it \vith three 
ounces of bay rum. Apply this to the hair a few tinies with 
a small sponge, and yoU will soon have the pleasure of seeing 
your grey hair gradually darkening to the desired shade. The 
lotion is pleasant, not sticky or greasy, and does not injure the 
hair in any way.
