Freckled or sun- fanned skims How to.whiten them Summer suns bring to many women a new complexion problem. Skins which at other times seem flawless, during this period often develop freckles oF other unsightly spots. Prolonged exposure oiten brings about an undue tanning which, if not corrected, may become permanent. Something must be done to whiten the skin without injuring its texture. Try this simple, natural method tonight: Just before you retire, cleanse the skin thoroughly by ‘washing in your usual way with Woodbury's Facial Soap and lukewarm water. Wipe off the surplus moisture, but ieave the skin slightly damp. Now dip the cake of Woodbury’s in a bow! of water and go over your face and throat several times with the cake itself. Let its lather remain on over night, and wash again with Wood- bury’s in your usual way the next morning. Woodbury's Facial Soap is the work of a skin specialist. This treatment with it is just what your skin needs to whiten it, Use it every night, unless your skin should be- come too sensitive, in which case discon- tinue until this sensitive feeling disappears. A few applications should show a marked improvement. Use Woodbury’s regularly thereafter in your daily toilet and keep your skin in perfect health. A 2s¢ cake of Woodbury’s is sufficient for a month or six weeks of this treatment and daily use. a cake te Iv is for sale by dragnists and t ters everywhere throughout the United States and Canada Note: Those who have very thin, tender skins should not use this rather severe treat: mient as it may cause smarting.

Progression A clergyman had taught an old man in his parish to read, and found him an apt pupil. When he called at the cottage some time after, only the wife was at home. “How's John?” he asked. “Very well, thank you, “1 suppose he can read the Bible com- fortably now?” “Bible, sir? Bless you, be was out of the Bible and into the sporting papers long ago."—Eterybody's. The Trolley System ‘O the habitual user of our trolley lines the old idea that lightning and electricity generally were direct mani- festations of Satan does not seem un- sound. On no other theory can its innate depravity and general cussedness be ac- counted for. The motorman’s artistic touch is dis- played at starting, when he makes the large, fat colored cook sit down in the dignified and precise lady's lap, but un- due racial discrimination is avoided when stopping, by having said dignified and precise lady career madly down the aisle and embrace the conductor like a long-lost brother, when we all know she really doesn't care anything about him. The company’s commendable desire to co-operate with the civil authorities is shown in stopping the car a little be- yond the crossing, where the passengers’ feet will carry away the mud, and thus help clean the street. The conductor contributes his quota by insisting, with a crowd of women passengers, on “ Front way out!" where they might alight in a large mud puddle. The company’s motto is, “ To miss con- nections with all trains,” and that is its one dependable running schedule. There is a railway station at either terminus, which adds to the fun. The acrobatic exercises, with appropriate facial expres- sion (and other expressions thrown in, quite often) on the part of the passcn- gers who see the train start just as the car gets in, is a sort of circus and mov- ing-picture show combined that is hard to beat. The trolley crew place mild bets on the best runner, and sometimes a few men do really catch it, while the women sit down and wait for the local train. And the surprised look of would- be passengers, who saw the car waiting, from the train, but find it has started when they get nearer, also sustains the interest If there is any trolley line in’ the United States that this description does not completely fit, will someone kindly at once notify this office?
