Anyway, the Pip didn't get Uncle Wlgglly's

To Ward Off Winter
Complexion Ills
To keep the face smooth, white and
beautiful till winter, there's nothing quite
so good as ordinary tner^bllsed wax.
Rough, chanped or discolored skin, inev- I
itable in this weather, Is gently absorbed ;
by the wax and replaced by the newer,
fresher skin beneath. The face exhibits
no trace of the wax, the latter being ap-
plied at bedtime and washed off morn-
ings. Creams, powders and rouges, on the
other hand are apt to appear conspicuous
nt tills season, because of alternating ex-
pansion and contraction 0f the skin, duo
to ( hanging temperatures. You are advised
to try this simple treatment. Get un
ounce of tnereoll/.od wax at any drug store
ami use like cold cream. This will help
anv complexion at once, and in a week
or so the skin will look remarkably youth
fill and healthy - lAdv.)
CLAIM FOR $40,000 GROWS
OUT OF BALLOON RECRUITING
A material advance in the price of fresh
eggs before the holidays Is anticipated by
San Antonio dealers. The market Is
scarce at present, some dealers receiving
only about half their normal supply, and
besides hens are not hying good.
Had weather Is chiefly responsible for
the present shortage, as the muddy roads
prevent the farmers from bringing in sup
piles. Aside from this feet, many country
stores, through which local produce deal-
ers get their supply, have reported that
they are using in their own communities
nearly all eggs obtained in their vicin-
ity.
Fresh eggs are now ^retailing In San
Antouio at from 70 to 75 cents a dosen,
while the cold storage variety are bringing
from 00 to 75 cents. Cold storage eggs,
dealers declare, will not advance in price,
nor will there be u shortage.
•lust what eggs will be selling for by
Christmas cannot be estimated dealers
stated. The pries is largely determined,
in a case of scarcity, by the Individual
bidding of the dealers In order to obtain
a supply, one dealer will pay the farmer
more, they say, and others are obliged to
follow suit
The wholesale price of eggs yesterday
was $20 per :'»<)-dozen crate of fresh eggs,
and $17 and $l*i per crate for cold storage
eggs.
