“No one need to have an old

get a new skin periodically, with

wrinkled, yellow skin is the re

knowing how," she said.
Madame Jackson says that car

wife wouldn’t tolerate dingy
clothes, thinking the colored wash-;
erwoman should know better, she
will let hcr skin grow dingy and
yellow when it could be kept
white and dainty with the proper
cure.
The Elmo toilet niticlcs include
every requisite for the complexion,
according to Madam Jackson, and
she extends an invitation to the I
women of the district to call to
see her and learn some of her
secrets of beauty culture and how
to kook young though old and,
better still how to retain the youth
that is the rightful heritage of
every woman under 50 years of

for use during the fall term.
Darlington is a fully accredited school and has had a remarkable record in preparing students for
college. During the first ten years of its existence only one graduate failed to enter college and

How To Help Your '
Sickly Children
Just read this If you have a
child that is thing and weak, is
timid or backward.
.
- Here’s a good fair offer—give
the little one McCOY’S as directed
f or 30 days and if he doesn’t gain
in weight—in strengtn—in keeness
of mind the druggist who supplied
you will return your mnoey.
McCOY’S has helped tens of
chil- f
thousands of frail, emaciated
dren to grow strong and sturdy—
why won't they help your ailing
little one ?
You can get 60 McCOY’S tablets
for 60 cents at M. E. Cole and Co.
or any druggist, anywhere in
America and the vitalizing vita- ,
mines will help any weak, worn
out man or woman to better
health. Ask for McCoy’s.
If your blood is pure you
will enjoy eating. Food
gives you strength—gives
you “pep” and makes you
up—and going.
You can take S. S. S. with con
fidence—millions testify to its
merits. An unbroken record of ,
service for over 100 years is
a great testimonial to a great
medicine.
Remember S. S. S. is made only
