Germany has given notice to this | sciousness of the possibilities that lie a vivid conception of how unintelligent our present methods are, or how piti- fully we lack in the international field the simplest machinery for the avoid- ance of conflict such as is provided in the internal organization of the state. It is with a view therefore to arous. ing the American public to a con- in a true court of justice for the na- tions and developing an insistent de- mand for it, thus strengthening the hands of the United States government in its appeal for its early establish- ment, that we have called this con- gress.” It must be looked upon as an im- portant accompaniment of the move- ment for international peace for even though that has been rudely shaken by the European war, the great con- flict has nevertheless demonstrated the necessity of doing everything possible to prevent its repetition once peace is declared. - COOPERATIVE CLEAN-UP SULTS. Where there is general cooperation in a cleanup movement the best results can not only be anticipated, but are likely to follow. This is applicable not only to every individual, but to every department of a city and the manner in which it results is well il- lustrated by the action which has been taken In the city of Providence, There Superintendent of Health Chapin an- nounces that “Providence is a cleaner and a brighter city today than it has ever been before. The spring clean- up movement has worked wonders. However there are some people who will not clean up unless you make them and it is my intention to do that | very thing.” A This is where the heads of depart- ments have an opportunity to get in some excellent work and in support of his words the superintendent has been making a thorough canvass with the result that he has found five in- stances where he will bring prosecu- tions because of conditions revealed and in ten other cases orders will be issued to clean up the premises or vacate them, Such action means that Providence is going to realize some real and last- ing benefit from its undertaking. It is going to get rid of some eyesores and some disease breeding places, the harm from which should be antici- pated and prevented rather than per- mit them to continue and develop into worse nuisances, Every city has its work cut out in this respect. There are too few spot- less towns and If every city tackled RE- country to the effect that it has got- ten down off its high horse. It has apparently been brought to a realiza- tion that it has gone too far and that it is time to call a halt. It is well. When the ceroner's jury at Kinsale found the kaiser and the German gov- ernment guilty of murder it was a verdict which was echoed from the bar of public opinfon throughout the world. It was recognized that it was a wilful disregard for international law and rules of warfare, both of which Germany recognizes as existing and both of which it admits having violated, though it has been apparent from the very outbreal of the war that it was engaged in just such a violation of the rights of others. _ After warnings have been repeatedly presented and protests made, only to culmindte in the attacks on the Guilf- light and Lusitania, it now comes forward with a plea of guilty, a prom- ise not to attack any more neutral ships and expressions of regret. In view of the manner in which Ger- many has treated past promises, vio- lated treaties and disregarded the rights of others how much confidence can it expect other countries are go- ing to place in new promises? Ger- many is open to judgment in accord- ce with its deeds and the treatment of promises in the past. To declare the attacks upon American property and lives to be a “mistake” offers lit- tle consolation even when accompanied by reparation. The fact is that there should never have been that “mistake.” 1t was the outcome of a wrong policy. There was nothing which ever justified it and nothing which warrants its be- ing tolerated. —_— UNFORTUNATE AS TO TIME. The one unfortunate thing in re- gard to the address of President Wil- son to the large body of newly nat- uralized citizens in Philadelphia was that it should have been scheduled for that time when it was open to the interpretation that it had a bearing upon the attitude of the chief execu- tive relative to the torpedoing of the Lusitania and the rest of the series of actions which Germany has taken against American life, property and rights. It is of course reassuring that in realization of such a view being taken the president has since declared that was not intended to and did mnot wve any bearing upon the course which this country will pursue with Germany. There was, in fact, no rea- son for believing that it would, since no plan of procedure had been sub- mitted to the cabinet or received ap- proval from the president's advisers, and it is not to be believed that the first intimation of what was in mind would be given out in a public ad- dress which had been arranged for previous to the attack upon the Lusi- tania. Tt was, however, susceptible of such a twist and such is the reason for the phrase “too proud to fight” being held up across the water as the at- titude of this country. It has created much amazement in London and it an be imagined what sort of an in- terpretation will be given it in Ber- in. The fact of the matter is that the Philadelphia speech was no reply to the action of Germany and it is im- portant that his statement to that ef- fect should get as wide a circula- tion as the claim that it was. The regrettable thing is that the speech should have come just at that time. WORLD COURT CONGRESS. In view of the manner in which it will deal with international questions, and the prominence which is being given to such at the present time, special interest cannot help being di- rected to the world court congress which is now in session at Cleveland. The idea is not a new one, having been urged for a number of years, and t may not result in any immediate sccomplishments, but it involves mat- ‘ers of so much importance and is supported by men of such prominence that its possibilities cannot be ignored, sven though it may be considered to e theoretical rather than practical. Concerning the movement and the sbject of the conference John Hays Hammond says: “The . present un- ragakable confiict has.brought.with it the work of clean-up week in such a manner there would be greater cause for rejoicing at the results accom- plished. The importance of a clean- up from the health standpoint cannot be safely ignored. WORKING OF DRUG LAW. The uncovering of $10,000 worth of dope stored away for illegal use in New York indicates the preparations for evading the new federal law for the suppression of this traffic and it likewise shows the value of the teeth which were placed in that piece of federal legislation. That law has been in effect for over two months and it is resulting in proof of the most convincing kind that it is thoroughly justified, and that it would have been an excellent thing if it could have been put in opera- tion some years ago. It means free- dom for a great many who otherwise would not have had the moral courage to have shaken off the terrible habit and it means prevention for a large number of others who might have been brought, consciously or unconsciously, into the clutches of demoralizing drugs. From every section of the country there come reports of many addicts appealing' to physicians and hospitals for rellef and treatment. These do not represent mew cases, but those who have been following the practice be- cause they were able to get all the dope they wanted and now find that the supply is cut off. It means the bringing to light of the army of peo- ple who had come under the influence of the lax methods which governed the trade in narcotics, It means that it may require some time to restore them to normal comditions but when that is accomplished they are going to have reason to give profound thanks to the fact that there was recognition of just such a law and that it was put into operation. Whatever extra outlay is necessary to meet the situation is well worth while. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mexico is finding it difficult to keep in the limelight in these days of big events. The person who expects to find neu- trality in the barber shop is invarlably disappointed. With all parties, except the social- ists, upited for war Italy is in a po- sition to report progress. The man on the corner says: If it is true that the world owes every man a living, it will never get out of debt. “Let them think,” says von Bern- storft and there is no doubt but what they will “Remember the Lusitania.” It is somewhat strange that the promoters of movies hadn’t anticipated the spectacle and been able to pre- sent it to the world before that time. According to Dr. Dernburg Ger- many’s responeibility for the latest ocean horror can be shed like water from a duck's back, by simply saying so. There are quite a number who be- lieve in individual option when 1t comes to wearing a straw hat and there is no good reason why there shouldn’t be, The PBritish fleet may be finding plenty of work in the North sea, but it would appear that there was an opportunity for valuable service off the Irish coast, The British admiralty will not dis- close its methods, or plans, but it gives away a valuable secret when it de- clares it needs all its warships to con- voy the transports. There is talk of erecting .a $20,000,- 000 food market in Chicago to help the poor, but just how that is going to bring down the price of commodi- ties is difficult to understand. ‘Would it have been any different had it been an American liner? is ask- ed. Well, American liners have es- caped thus far, but there is the Amer- ican owned Gulflight flying a big American flag which received similar treatment. quarrel. Two lovers were separated because the girl fell desperately in love with the Other Man. The Man returned to his distant home, while the Girl allowed the Other to make passionate love to her. As the days and weeks rolled by the Girl felt how lucky she was that she had met the Other in time. At times, however, he didn’t seem to be the pas- sionate jover he hed been in the first few days. Neither knew whether he really had changed or whether he just seemed that way to the Girl. The Other told the Girl that he could never marry her, for he was pledged to some- one else. Still he kept Making love to her, and she kept hoping that some- time she might be able to have the Other, despite the someone else. Then the fiend incarnate, Jealousy, seemed to abide in the heart of the Girl. The Other began to make love to the Girl's chum. Now the Girl was very fond of the Chum, even as she was of the Other, so she was torn be- tween Jealousy and love for them both. Of course in her bitterness she blamed the Chum for trying to take the Other from her but it wasn't really the chum's fault for it was the Other who had started the love-making. ‘The Chum, lonesome to be loved, had mere- 1y been too weak to resist the charms of the Other, for he was a very fas- cinating man. There came a time when the Other began to realize that he had played too far with the Girl. She really did care for him, while he, even though he did care in his way, had beer plain- ly playing with her, for he was to marry someone else. Then he grew cool toward the Girl, and she wor- ried over his coldness. Of course with Jealousy behind her, she blamed the Chum, never thinking of the Other's financee as the cause of the breech. Meanwhile the Man came again to see the Girl, and she, still loving the Other refused finally to marry the Man. So the Man went back home once more, for he was broken-hearted over the Girl whom he loved better than life itseif. His hopes and ambi- tions were gone, killed by the Girl, who had once said the she loved him and wouid marry him. And the Girl left him to his misery, while she long- ed for a returning warmth in the love that the Other gave to her. At times it seemed as though he were really giving her more of that old love. Then the Girl was happy, but not for long for she soon found that if she was receiving love from the Other, so was her Chum, and no girl wants to share the kisses of her lover with An engagement—another ~ man—a REPENTANCE THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1915 another girl. The Girl was at loss what to do, for she still loved both the Other and her Chum. Then came the day when the Other asked a special interview with the Girl* She was happy to grant it, but soon found that it was to be an unhappy ending to all her hopes. The other told her plainly that they could never be anything but friends, and that she had best forget him. The Girl was overwhelmed with grief for she really cared for the Other. She bade him good-by, however, promising not to write to him or see Tim as that would be the easjest way to forget him. The Girl brooded over the Other in silence for a short time, and listened with aching heart, while the Chum told her little things said and done by the Other. She realized that she had lost him forever, and her heart ached. There came a day when the Girl sud- denly knew that she had been a mere passing fancy to the Other, and that when she had taken his attentions too seriously, he had felt it best to be rid of her. She realized that he may not have meant to hurt her, and he no doubt thought that she would play at love with him and not mean it. She knew then that she could never be happy with a man who would make love to her one day and her Chum the next; so she resolved that she would get over the ache, by just think- ing of the Other as a dear friend and nothing more. About that time the Girl began to think of how she had treated the Man, who had gone home broken-heartéd. Deep down in her heart she had al- ways felt sorry for him, but she had trled to drown that feeling for she wanted to forget him. Now that she had given up all hope of the Other, except as a friend, she thought she ought to try, if possible, to make %up for what he had done to the Man. So she wrote to the Man and told him she repented of all she had done to cause him sorrow, and that she would marry him and try to make him @ good wife if he really wanted her, after the way she had acted. He, like the generous-hearted man that he was, answered that he had always loved her and had wanted her even after she had sent him away. He was more than glad to get her at all, for he had given up all hopes of ever having the Girl, whom he had always loved. When the Girl received the letter from the Man, telling her that he still wanted her, she was so happy that she cried. At last she was to have a chance to make up in happiness what she had caused him in sorrow. How glad she was that she had repented before it was too late—Boston Post. Stories of Getting Ready for Casualties of New Offens France has for several weeks been clearing hundreds of its more accessi- ble hospitals of patients in order to provide for the heavy casualties of the new offensive movements. Sick and wounded have been removed to cross- roads villages and to hospitals in the country improvised from former mon- asteries and convents. Although al- ready crowded, beds are added to ev- ery hospital in order to increase the capacity. The plan is to have the base hospitals and all those on the main railway lines ready to care for the newly wounded. In the early months of the war much of the loss of life and limb was due to gangreme resulting from slow transportation. A report describing France's prepa- rations for the new rush of wounded and the difficult problems with which her hospitals are already confronted has been laid before the French Wounded Emergency Fund by Miss Daisy Polk of San Francisco, who re- cently toured Brittany with Mrs, Par- tridge Klots, formerly of Baltimore. In the Breton section of France, Miss Polk and Mrs. Klots delivered sup- plies to 142 hospitals, of which they personally inspected 92. These sup- plies came in large part from Ameri- can contributors. French provineial hospitals, Miss Polk found, are poorly equipped as a whole, some as primitive as one would expect in Serbia. France failed to an- ticipate the war by storing supplies and cataloguing possible hospitals. Her entire energies for a time were con- centrated on the military end. Surgical instruments, drugs and an- tiseptics fell far short of the demand. Trained nurses were few. When thous- ands of wounded began to arrive from the front daily, their housing and care had naturally to be done in rough emergency fashion. Conditions have now greatly improved, yet there is not a_village in France without its quota of_convalescents. ‘The hospitals of Brittany, Miss Polk found often badly furnished and over- crowded. In the village of Quimper she visited a hospital hout either gas or running water, without chairs and without the necessary operating equipment. The operating table was of plain wood, and the sterilizing had to be done, as in many of the French hospltals, by improvised ovens. When patients arrived after dark, wounds were dressed and emergency opera- tions done by candle light. In one hospital at Brest, the beds were merely mattresses on boards. In another, a windowless attic badly ven- tilated through its skylights, contained 75 peds. There were in all 8,000 beds in Brest, but all patients who could be moved were sent away and a thousand beds added for the spring quota of wounded. The shortage in anesthetics and an- tiseptics has now been overcome, but the lack of instruments is etill serious- 1y felt. Miss Polk took a descriptive catalogue of instruments on her tour and made notes of the needs of vari- ous hospitals. This need was often filled immediately by the supplies dis- tributed.* Pillows, blankets, hospital clothes, sterilized cotton and bandages from the emergency fund have been God-sends., In many places even the cotton had run out, and dressings of coarse towel were used, washed and used again. Sterilized absorbent cot- ton is e rarity in all the French hos- pitals, and cotton batting is ordinarily used. Trained nurses were few in the early part of the war, apart from the Sis- ters of Mercy as France has no train- ing system corresponding with the English or American. But French Women, even of the highest society have worked with great devotion, do- ing the most menial tasks, while men and women nurses have been hastily trained to . supplement the Sisters. Nuns banished by the church separa- tion act have also been called back from exile. The nurses at the village of Broons were recalled from the Is- land of Jersey. Miss Polk says the cheerfulness and patience of the French wounded sur- passed bellef. They are as easily handled as children. Miss Polk saw one man who had been in eight hos- pitals and undergone five operations during the past three months, yet he seemed cheerful and contented al- though he etill had some unextracted lead in his body. Operations On Peninsula. has written the following account of operations on the peninsul “While Australians and New Zea- landers were fighting so gallantly against heavy odds north of Kaba Tepeh, British troops crowned them- selves with equal laurels at the south- ern end of the Gallipoli peninsula, A firm footing* now has been obtained. The line stretch across the southern end of the entire peninsula with both flanks secured by the fire of warships. The army holds many convenient landing piaces immune from the en- emy's guns. “The problems British landing par- ties faced differed from those the Aus- tralians solved farther north. Here the cliffs are not high and irregular, but rise about fifty feet from the water’s edge with stretches of beach at inter- vals. Five of these baches were se- lected for disembarkation under the cover of warships. It was hoped the Turkish trenches would be rendered untenable and the barbed wire en- tanglements cut by the fire of the ships but these expectations were not realized. “For example, the landing place be- tween Kaba Tepeh and Cape Helles was the secene of a desperate struggle which raged all day. The Turks held barbed wire protected trenches in force and their snipers covered the rore shore. After hours of bombard- ment the troops were taken ashore at daybreak. Part of the force scaled the cliffs and obtained a precarious footing on the edge of the cliffs, but boats which landed along the beach were confronted with a solld hedge of barbed wire and exposed to a terrible cross-fire. Every effort was made to cut the wire, but almost all those who landed here were shot down. Later the troops on the cliffs succeeded in driv- ing back the Turks and clearing the beach. “The most terrible of all landings, however, was on_the beach between Cape Helles and Seddul Bahr. Here the broken valley runs inland, enfilad- edby hills on either flank, on_which were built strong forts which defend- ed the entrance to the 'Straits until they were knocked out by our guns. Although the guns and emplacements were shattered, the bombproofs and ammunition chambers remained intact and running back formed a perfect network of trenches and entangle- ments right around the semi-circu- lar valley. The Turks had mounted pompoms on the Cape Helles side and had the usual snipers concealed every- where. The fore shore end valley also were protected by trenches and wire, rendering the position most formid- able. “One novel expedient was running a liner full of troops deliberately ashore, thus allowing them to approach close in under cover without being exposed in open boats. Great doors had been cut in her sides to permit rapid dis- embarkation and she was well provid- ed with Maxims to sweep the shore while the troops were landing. Owing to her going ashore farther east than was intended, however, it became nec- essary to bring up a lighter to facill- tate the landing. The Turks directed a perfect tornado of rifle, Maxim and pom-pom fire on 200 men who made a dash down the gangway. Only a few survived to gain shelter. All the oth- ers were killed on the gangway. Dis- embarkation, therefore, which meant almost certain death, was postponed until later in the morning, when an- other attempt also failed. “Then while the liner carrying 2000 men packed in like sardines with the officers huddled on the protected bridge, lay all day on shore with a hail of bullets rattling against her pro- tected sfdes, the battleships Albion, Cornwallis_and Queen Elizabeth fur- lously bombarded Seddul Bahr and the encircling hills. Meantime the Turks on the Astatic side tried to destroy the liner by howitzer fire, which was kept under only by.the bombardment from covering ships in the straits. In spite of this covering fire the vessel was pierced by four big shells and it was decided to postpone any further m&ve- ment until night, when the troops got ashore almost without the Turks fir- ing a shot as a result, perhaps, of troops landed on other beaches having pushed along and destroyed some Tur- kish positions.” Censorship in Copenhagen.

Mr. Editor: The trade at home sen- timent is practical and would find more favor if those who preach it set the example, A Norwich business house solicited its patrons to trade at home by an issue of circulars bearing upon them the imprint of a Chicago print shop. Doesn’t the business man think his patrons have eyes to see and minds to comprehend his disloyalty to the prin- ciples he advocates? Our newspapers advocate home trade. boom every local enterprise, and those benefited buy their printing wherever they can get it cheapest. If Norwich merchants are patroniz- ing Long Island farmers instead of New London county farmers, and patronizing New York and Chicago printers instead of their own, and pur- chasing household goods in New York and Boston, how do they expect to hold the trade of the people? N It the cheapest market is what the merchants all seek, why should not their patrons do the same? The trouble with Norwich business combinations is that they are not con- sistent, they are asking the people to do_what they do not do themselves, This Chicago circular was a very pretty piece of printing, but it was no better or more attractive than Nor- wich printers can produce if they are paid for their work. The writer buys most of his goods in Norwich, but his eyes are wide open to the violation by business men of the very tenets which they advocate as best and most profitable for their patrons. KEEN-CUTTBR. Norwich, May 12, 1915, Tent Caterpillar Pests, Mr. Editor: I wish to call the at- tention of the readers of The Bulletin to the prevalence of the tent caterpiliar this spring, and to urge everyone able to help to volunteer in a campaign against this pest. All who have had occasion to drive into the country all about Norwich must have noted the numerous nests of the tent caterpillar. Though this pest is one always with us it is gen- eraliy kept in check by its natural en- emies. It is only once in a genera- tion that it really becomes a menace. We are row passing through one of those perivas of menace. It is a real menace, too, ag all who have travelled through certain parts of Massachu- setts and the northeastern part of Connecticut within the last three years can testify. I have seen whole or- chards cf apple trees absolutely ruined by this caterpillar. On some of the trees could be counted thirty and for- ty huge nests and not one green leaf to be seen though it was the month of June. As the owners neglect- ed to take active measures and as the natural enemies of the caterpillar did not catch up with their prey early enough, the trees were killed outright the second season. At present in this locality the insects are largely confined to the wild cherry shrubs, for they prefer the cherry to the apple. Unless the natural enemies niultiply cxceseively this season So as to destroy 75 per cent of the caterpil- lars we shall next year see the pests upon our apple trees in alarming num- bers It is not for us to take chances, and we should start in ourselves to lessen the number of nests. At present the caterpillars are small, being scarcely one fourth grown in most of the nests. They have there- fore eaten less than one fourth of what they are to eat this year, prob- ably less than one tenth, because thelr appetite ~ seems to grow faster than their bodies. At this age they are found at home in their nests much of the time, going out only to feed. Later they will scatter and then it will e impossible to destroy them. These insects are perfectly hamless to mankind. One can handle them with impunity| They are unpleasant, but they cannot harm a human being. Let reason overcome judice and get right to work and destroy every nest you can reach as follows: ‘While ths caterpillars are bunched in the nest, tear the nest off carefully with the fingers, throw the bunch on the ground and crush it with the foot. If one is careful he need not get into much contact with the insects, for the web serves as a coating between the fingers and the caterpillars. Person- ally- I lay all feeling aside and trust to soap and water to remedy the ap- pearance of my fingers after making War upon numerous nests. ‘There are many people in Norwich who could help in this way. Let them load up their gutomobiles with boys and take any road out into the coun- trv. Turn the boys loose upon the pest and clean up one or two miles of roadsides in an afternoon. It is an easy remedy, and if ten automobile owners were to do this for one week, or even for two days, the pest would be given a big check. I am practic- ing what I preach. I would not ven- tare to say how many hundreds or DEAFNBESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf- ness, and that Is by constitutional rem- edles. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Kustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have & rumbling sound or {mperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafriess 1s the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forover; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot _be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars free. F. J.

It half the people of Norwich had destroyed one half as many nests || each as I have done there would not be a nest in Norwich or vicinity to- day. But it is & task that calls for many hands. Some mistaken persons say—cut down the cherry bushes and so stop their increase. On the contrary it is wise to leave the wild cherry shrubs alongside the orchard, for these will serve as traps for the pest and keep them off the apple tree very largely, But one should destroy them on the cherry every year. The mistake is made in destroying only those on the apple trees, leaving thousands close by to breed moths to lay eggs for next year upon the apple trees. If any of my readers think that this is a trivial matter, let him go from Norwich Town to Fitchville. Let him count the nests upon some wild cher- ries. Let him note the indifference of the people who live in that locality. This is an indifference that will be noted cverywhere, and one can _see again and again cherry shrubs right in the back yard or within stone throw of the front door with from six to six- teen nests defiling the landscapg. Those who are persuaded to thelp should act at once Yours very truly, ALLEN LATHAM. Norwichtown, May 12, 1915, ‘ OTHER VIEW POINTS | It was only a coroner's jury, con- vened in a small Irish town, which found that the victims of the Lusi- tania horror died by wilful murder, but its views of international law and the rules of civilized warfare were as clear as those of the highest court or most learned professor of Jurisprudence.—Providence Journal. Good news comee out of Springfield over Sunday. The threatened strike of the trolleymen is off for good and the dispute over the conductors discharged is to be settled in the police or su- perior court through a suit. If the court says the men are innocent they will be reinstated by the company. If it says they are guilty they will stay discharged. The arbitrators, who ar- ranged this sensible compromise are deserving of a good deal of credit. Ar- bitration stock should take an upward turn in view of this arrangement.— Ansonia Sentinel. Jitney accidents are beginning to come in from Hartford and New Hav- en and they have caused so much comment in the latter city that there is some talk of enacting a city ordin- ance to regulate the operating of the machines. It seems as if such action may be contrary to the state law be- cause when the legislature was fix- ing the license fee for the jitneys it was understood that they would be subject to the state law in regard to automobiles and to no other. It would be much better, however, if the jitneys were subject to local regulations be- cause then it would be possible to have the condition in the particular place where they are being operated DAVIS THEATRE NEW SHOW TODAY THE SHOW THAT HAS BROKEN ALL RECORDS HOMAN’S MUSICAL REVUE 16—ARTISTS—16 Everything Will_be Entirely Different Today NEW SONGS NEW DANCES NEW NOVELTIES — Complete Change of Photo- ’ plays Also Mat. 2:30 10c; Children 5c recognized and there would be more freedom from criticism.—New Britain Herald. The modern house is equipped with gas and _electricity, and for such a household the approach of summer weather carries no terrors. The sub- stitution of a gas rangé for a coal range is the first step toward kitchen comfort and efficiency. Fireless cook- ers and auxiliary electric cooking ap- pliances are the second step, while a multitude of electrically-driven house- hold helps such as vacuum cleaners, washing machines, polishing outfits, electric fans, etc., help abolish the drudgery of housework. It took & long time for modern humanity to con- ceive the idea that labor-saving de- vices can be applied to housework just as well as to any other form of labor, but that idea is now taking hold in great style and remarkable progress has been made, as a perusal of the ad- vertisements of household goods will quickly convince.—Bridgeport Tele- gram. For Sallow, Wrinkled, Freckled, Pimpled Skin If you have any cutaneous blemish, don’t” use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easler to remove the disfigure- ment with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth-patches, sallown red or yellow blotches, or any surf: eruptions. The affected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day. untll the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view. Ask the druggist for an ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this simple and har: les‘s treatment report astonishing r sults. 1f bothered with wrinkles or crow's feet, a wash lotion made by dissolvin an ounce of powdered saxolite in a hal pint witch hazel will prove remarkably effectual Conn.
