WELL KEPT HANDS.
measures That Will Improve Even th,
Most Unpromising Ones.

MOST Unpromising Ones,
II 1t Is necessary to have the hands in
soapsuds for any length Of time mncb ot
the bad effect may be prevented by careful
treatment Immediately afteryard Wash
and rinse them well, then rub into them :
lew drops of lemon juice or fruit VINEGAR
ana dry them. The acid counteracts the
alkah OF the soap and prevents roughen-
ing anu chapping. 1t is a good plan to
keep cut lemon on the toilet table or
near the kitchen sink for this purpose and
also 1or promptly removing stains.
Before retiring at night wash the hands
with white CASTLE soap, rinse and dry,
then rub on a healing cream or lotion.
There are good ones in the market. but
some which are easily commanded at
home are quite as efficacious and less ex-
pensiye.
If the hands are red and rouoh npt a
few drops of lemon juice into the beaten
white of an egg. If lemons are not at
hand, little alum water may be used in
stead. Rub some of this mixture on tho
hands at night, letting it dry on. Some
claim THIS to be the best lotion known for
making the hands white, soft and smooth.
1t is equally good for the face and neck.
oiyCeIlu 40 SoOu lOf SOlno skins, but
should never be used alone For chapped
hands mix together three ounces of rose
water, one-half ounce glycerin and one
half dram borax. Apply at night.
Greasy creams are often recommended.
but the majority of women find more than
the occasional use of them undesirable.
Among the best oils for the skin are sweet
almond oil, lanoline and cocoa butter.
Farmers wires and daughters have an
excellent lotion at hand in the sweet
cream of their dairics
II the hands are tanned, frequent appli-
cations of lemon juice will make them
white again; SO also will magnesia mixed
into paste with soft water and spread
over the hands. When dry, wash it off
with castillo soap and warm water This
is excellent for a tanned face also.
With daily care and simple remedies
two or three months will show a wonder
tul improvement in tho most unpromising
hands, says Good Housekeeping, the source
of the foregoing suggestions.

THE WATERvLlE CONTROVERSY.
City Treasurership Matter Decided in Favor Of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Taken.

The Waterville election controversy
was again before Judge Whitehouse of the
supreme court, yesterday, at the cour
house, this time on bill in equity to de
termine the title of the city treasurer NJ
T. Bartlett is the present incumbent Of
the Office and this bill is brought by
Charles H. Redington, who claims he wa:
elected .---..ss,
c. f. johnson appeared for Redingtor
and W. C. Philbrook for Bartlett. The
question turned upon whether the mayo,
had vote in the meeting of the city
government which elected. The decision
was in favor of Redington. Exceptions
were taken.
There was also hearing upon the
petition of Redington for a mandamus to
compel the mayor to approve Redington Is
bond as treasurer. The petition set forth
that bond in the penal sum of SO, ,000
with sufficient sureties was presented to
the mayor and that he refused to approve
it simply on the ground that Redington
had not been elected.
1t did not appear from the testimony
that one reason for the rejection of the
bond was not because of the insufficiency
of the penal sum, and the petition was
dismissed. The mayor testified that a
bond in the sum of $50, GOO would be sat
isfactory to him. 1t is understood that if
the decision should ultimately be that
Redington was elected to the office, the
mayor would approve his bon1.
