The pim- ples were hard and large, and were very sore and red. They itched and burned 8o that I could not sleep at all. My face was altogether disfigured and the pimples lasted three months. “I tried everything I could think of and the eruption was so bad I had to stay at home from work. A friend rold me to write for a free sample of Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. I did, and my face started to improve. I bought more, and I used two boxes of Cuti- cura Ointment and four cakes of Cuti- cura Soap when I was healed.” (Signed) Samuel Pollins, 168 Lippitt St., Prov- idence, R. L., June 15, 1917.

At the business meeting of council last night 59 sepatate items were received for consideration and after presiding for some time Mayor Quigley resigned the chair to Jester. As soon as the meeting opened Aclerman Jester was on his feet to protest about a veto of the mayor which was sustained by the council at its previous meeting, The veto had to do with a different meth- od of payment for charity depart- ment workers and while it is unim- portant the third warder said that it He explained that the provides that a veto must be read at the following meeting of the council and in this case there were two meetings before it was read. The mayor explained that the fault was not his as he had filled his veto in time but in order that the council shall not go on record as violating any provisions of the charter it was voted to have Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper review the matter with a view to its legality and advise how to strike it from the records. Holt is Sidestepping—Curtis. The report of Dairy Commissioner Holt in which he said that the town farm dairy barn is an excellent bulld- ing and he does not think that keep- ing horses in the same building would cause any insanitary conditions, was read. Alderman Curtis explained that his resolution had called upon Mr. Holt to pass upon the legality of the barn and he thought his reply was a “neat way of side-tracking the main question.” The third warder in- sisted that the law prohibits the keeping of other animals in the same apartment as milk cows, There was also a lengthy discus- sfon relative to the time of paying city employes and it was finally vot- ed o pay full time by cash each week and the salary committee and ordin- ance committee are to draft an ordin- ance to cover this, which was backed up by Alderman Curtins. Council- man Richards was the only one to against the measure which also 5 that other certain part time officials and employes be paid month- 1y, while members of the board of compensation and assessment, the water board, selectmen, clerk of the civil service commission be paid quarterl A petition was received from the clerk of the probate court asking permission to buy a $233 adding ma- chine.
