Aged, Wrinkled Faces Easily Rejuvenated e is often only a mask to a_comparatively youthful person. Be- neath is a countenance young and fair to look upon. It's a simple matter to remove the mask. Ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store, grad- uall absorbs the worn-out surface skin; in a week or two the user has the loveliest pinky white complexion imaginable. An ounce of the wax usu- ally is sufficient to complete the trans. formation. It is put on at night like cold cream and taken off in the morn- ing with warm water. This remarkable treatment is invari- ably effective. no matter how muddy, saliow or discolored the complexion. Freckles, moth-patches, liver spots, pimples, blackheads and other cutane- ous blemishes, naturally vanish with the discarded skin. To remove wrinkles, here is a recipe that cannot be too highly recommend- cd: Powdered saxolite, 1 oz, dissolved in 1 pint witch hazel. Use as a wash lotion. It acts instantaneously and is wonderfully effective.

Two children, six, the other two or three years of age, were taken in charge by the police Friday night at 6 o'clock when found wandering about the streets, and placed at the town farm. They were the children of a Jewish couple, who have recently been living at Hop River and have aired their domestic difficulties in the courts.

The boys were rounded up and given a severe talking to by Chief Richmond, They took some partly rotten pota- toes from the rubbish near W. H. Smith’s produce store and used them as missiles in the course of the eve- ning. The first place they bombarded was Chosen’s store at the corner of Valley and Jackson streets. Then they started west and on Meadow street hit a man who was just coming out from working in his garden. ‘The climax of their activities was when they found a woman coming out of the back door of a Main street sa- loon, and threw some forty or fifty potatoes at her, causing her to run home with the “bucket” full. The odd part of the affair is that the gang was recruited from boys liv- ing all the way from The Oaks to Mansfield avenue. Brief Mention. Leander Smith has returned to New- port. James P.
