The Lucky At the approach of the shedding period the skin over his entire body apparently dries up. As soon as new skin has formed underneath, which usually requires a couple of days, the old skin peels off and Mr. Price feels rejuvenated, with a skin as tender as that of a child. Until the new skin hardens he is obliged to exercise care to prevent it breaking. MR. PRICE Most of us-so the learned physiolo gists tell us change our skin and have a complete new covering once in seven years. By one of Nature's freaks, Mr. Price of Montana, changes his once a year, and has it over with in a jiffy. The skin-changing process with ordinary mortals is a slow one-the skin is constantly shedding little scales of dead matter, which are supposed to be worked off by the clothing, the movement of the body in exercise, and in the bath. Unless, however, these minute little particles of dead waste are discharged from the skin, they collect, work into and clog the breathing pores of the body, and cause a deal of unnecessary trouble in the form of skin diseases and sickness. Good soap and water will remove them and keep the surface of the body clean, sweet and wholesome. But all soaps sold as such are not good soaps -are not pure. They contain an excess of alkali, cheap materials and adulterants such as rosin, or artificial coloring matter which are little short of rank poison to the tender skin. There are soaps which are good and pure and made from the best obtainable materials-the kind that are kind to skins. Most of such soaps sell for 25c and 50c a cake. We know of but one that retails for 5c-FAIRY SOAP. It is just as good and pure as carefully selected and high-grade ingredients can make it. Edible Beef Fat and Choice Cocoanut Oil form the basis of FAIRY SOAP. No better materials than are used in FAIRY can be found in the most expensive soaps on the market. The latter may contain expensive perfumes that delight the nostrils, and add nothing to the actual working merit of the soap-may be packed in a fancy box with a cover beautifully lithographed in seventy-'leven colorsBUT The soap stock-the ingredients which do the work are not one whit purer or better than those used in the making of FAIRY— When you buy FAIRY SOAP you get all possible soap goodness, without the extravagances; you get a soap that will cleanse thoroughly, purify, soothe and soften the skin, and add many fold to the pleasure of your toilet and bath.

To know what a closet should be to be is not self-cleaning, odorless, positive in its action when flushed, replace it with the SY-CLO Closet,-"the closet of health." The SY-CLO Closet overcomes the offensive and dangerous faults of the common closet of the wash out variety by its syphonic action. In addition to a copious flush of water from above, a powerful jet of water enters at the bottom of the bowl. This starts the flow of water over the retaining rim into the soil pipe, where a vacuum, or suction is formed, into which the entire contents of the bowl are drawn. If your closet merely empties without thoroughly washing the bowl, replace it with the SY-CLO TRADE MARK The SY-CLO Closet as shown by the illustration of the sectional view, is formed in a single piece-fine hand moulded china-without a crack or crevice where impurity can lodge. Unaffected by water, acid or wear. No enamel to chip or crack. If your closet is different in any respect, it is unsafe. Replace it with the SY-CLO. The name "SY-CLO" on a closet guarantees that it is made under the direction and supervision of the Potteries Selling Company, of the best materials, and with the aid of the best engineering skill, and has the united endorsement of eighteen of the leading potteries of America.
