Admission to Friday’s amateur/’ath-
letic meet is practically free. This
event .is strictly a Cotton Carnival fea-
ture, but owing to lack of space at the
Auditorium grounds, it is scheduled
for Beach baseball park, close by. One
admission fee only will be charged.
Those attending the athletic meet will
be given without additional charge a
'ticket of admission to the carni-
val grounds.
The athletic meet will open prompt-
ly at 3.45 with a march by the par-
ticipants, timers and officers. The meet
itself will begin at 4 p. m. and cover
fifteen magnificent events, and end at
6 p. m. with a thrilling exhibition by
the United States life saving corps un-
der the direction of Capt. Jas. F. Phil-
lips. There will be music at the
grounds and nothing left undone that
will tend to make the evening one long
to be remembered.
Beach park resembles anything but
a place where the promoters of the
national game are wont to give exhibi
tions in “pill-swatting'.” It is studded
here and there with the things which
will be used tomorrow in determining
the state championship of some of the
athletes of Texas. Everything is in
readiness and awaits the coming of
the aggregation of athletes to the
scratch lines where the races will be
run, or to the board where other
events will be staged,

o’clock, and it is expected that all will
be in the city before the rising of the
sun Friday. The athletic contest,
which has been the close and careful
study of the committee on arrange-

the conversation of the city just now,
and from all indications there will Jje

Effective, Economical
Complexion Beautifier
I Sp
(Julia Orff in The Clubwpman)
One reason I so strongly recommend
mercolized wax is that it really takes
the place of several different cos-
metics, saving time, patience and ex-
pense. It is better than any cleansing
cream, better than any massage cream,
and better than ^ny rouge for accom-
plishing the results for which such ar-
ticles are Used. As the wax actually ab-
sorbs an old, faded'or discolored cuticle,
a little each day, the underlying skin
which gradually appears, is clearer,
■jofter, healthier-hued and more youth-
hil than any cosmetic-made complexion.
Jpreading on a thin coat of this wax at
night, washing it off mornings, in a
week or so produces a marvelous trans-
formation. Just, one ounce of merco-
lized wax, obtainable at any drug
store, will do the work. There’s noth-
ing better to remove freckles, tan, sal-
lowness, blotches, pimples or black-
heads.
For wrinkles and loose, saggy skin I
invariably recommend a face bath made
by dissolving 1 ounc® powdered saxo-
lite in % pint witch hazel. This has
remarkable astringent and tonic prop-
erties.
