To clear up and whiten the skin and secure that charm of pink and white youthful freshness so much desired by all women you will find it far safer to rely upon a good face lotion rather than powder. To get rid of that shiny and muddy appear- ance in your complexion, dissolve four ounces of spurmax in one-half pint hot water, and add two teas spoonfuls glycerin. Apply this to your face, neck and arms, rubbing gently until dry. This lotion does not show or rub off ke powder and is much better. It is splendid for removing tan, freckles, pimples and sallowness. You can make a delightful sham-{ poo for a very trifling cost if you get from your druggist a package of can- throx and dissolve a teaspoonful Ign a cup of hot water. Pour a little at .a time on the scalp and rub briskly. . This creates an abundance of thick, white lather that thorough- ly dissolves and removes all dan- druff, excess oil and dirt.

This is identically the same car we had for 1915 with some re~ finement. We have not cheapened the car, but made it better. The cutis as much or more than anybody has made or claimed to make this year so far. Several have an- nounced cuts in price, but on examination of the specifications and car, you will find -most of the cut has been made in the ma- terial and car as well as the price. Not so - with the ENGFR. We are cutting price only. We certainly do not hesitate to say now that this is the best car on the market for the money"* We invite inspection and trial of the great ENGER SIX. Cut in price is only on account of our buying ability and fa- cilities for handling and building cars. Cut does not take place January 1st or August 1s; but takes place on Wednes- day, June 16th, and cars are ready for delivery. There is nothing on the street that is nicer at anywhere near the price. Parts are ab- solutely standard throughout with the concern behind them that makes good. Compare specifications of the ENGER SIX with cars selling for the same money: then compare with the cars sell- ing for $2,000 and see to what class they belong. FOSHIER-ENGER CO.
