Used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment, Baby’s Face and Head Well, Frankfort; Me.—'"When my little baby girl was two months old her cheeks began to break out in a little fine rash and keps getting worse. At the edges of her hair and behind her ears seemed to itch and burn awfully. She would wake up out of her sleep and cry and rub her face until it would bleed. At times it seemed to go in under the skin, then. it would break out just like a burn. The skin would scale up and peel off. She was fretful and scratched. “I was given two kinds of ointment and 1 also used others all without success. I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ofntment in the paper and sent for a free sample. When I had used these with a large cake of Cuticura Soap and some Cuti- cura Ointment baby's face and head were well." (Signed) Mrs. Claude Cox, October 16, 1914, Sample Each Free by Mail ‘With 32-p.

It afterwards developed that those who had filed the objection had not read the book on which the pictures were founded, nor had they seen the photoplay. Manager Goldman prompt- ly offered to withdraw the pictures if anything objectionable could be found in them, but after they had been view- ed at the special show no desire was expressed that he do so and they were shown afternoon and evening. As a matter of fact, many pictures that come unheralded and that bear the approval of the National Board of Cen- sorship, as do the Three Weeks plc- tures, make the latter look like a study in piety in comparison—and not a word is said about them.

Some time ago the neighborhood south of the new village was stirred to fear by the report that a lion was loose in the vicinity. Fears were calmed, however, when some of Plainfields noted 'coon hunters, search- ing for the wild beast, routed Mr. Betterman's huge St. Bernard dog from his lair behind the Daniel Brown homestead. Affairs are now normal in that section and the wild beast spot-light has been shifter to Flat Rock.

The animal was in all proba- bility Mr. Betterman's big dog. After Operators’ License. Fred P.

Bridge Repairs Soon. Mystic Main street drawbridge, which has been giving considerable trouble to traffic lately, is to be re- paired just as soon as the governor signs the recently passed trunk line bridge bill. The state highway com- missioner told Senator Hewitt, who has been behind the local bridge im- provement eince the start, that the plans were all completed and that the Mystic bridge would be the first one to be attended to under the new enactment. This will be received as the best news in Mystic as the old bridge has long been a source of vex- ation. Furthermore electric power will be installed for operating the draw. This will probably necessitate con- siderable work on the bridge ap- proaches and other improvements, and repairs, but as just stated the plans for these alterations are all completed and the actual commencement of the work awaits only the signature of the governor. It is not now to early to state that Senator Hewitt and Repre- sentative Crandall who have looked after the bridge interests in the sen- ate and house of representatives have made good their promise to bring about a change for the better in the operation of the Mystic drawbridge.
