ears Whoever wants soft | hands, smcoth hands,white hands, or a clear complex- | ion, he and she can have | both: that is, if the skin is | naturally transparent; un- | less occupation prevents. The color you want to avoid comes probably nei- ther of nature or work, but of habit. Either you do not wash ef- fectually, or you wash too ef- fectually; you do not get the skin open and clean, or you hurt it. Remedy— Use Pears’ Soap, rio matter how much; but a little is enough if you use it often. All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists; fall sorts uf people use it. SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, when asked by an ambitious young painter with what he mixed his colors, replied, ‘With Brains, Sir.’ So in watch- making: it is not alone the value of the jewels that makes a first- class watch—it is the brains that have planned its construc- tion. Mechanical skill and knowledge have made Waltham Watches the best in the world. For sale by all jewelers.
