FALL PATRONS OF THE LAKEvIEW.
 At Lake Waramaug, where summer
 boarders are so much feature, one does
 not wonder at the fall business the B. C..
 Norris house is enjoying of patrons a plenty, and much to the credit of any
 house. MT Norris is always about his
 place, which accounts for its being kept
 in such trim shape the year around. He
 has a supply of turkeys, ducks and
 chickens; in fact everything which goes
 to make life worth living, and for 8
 pleasant time he is with you always.
 Thanksgiving is upon us and those who
 are here and coming guests will not for
 get the hospitality of MT and Mrs Norris,
 though Thanksgiving is no exception to daily living there. The north side of the
 lake property was not overlooked by James Meyers of New York, as he had his eye on something besides fishing.
 William H. Bonynge of the law firm of Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge, New York, was among the first to buy, and the trees he has set out arc we'll along now. MT Norris' property has still many beautiful sites left and no doubt the parties now contemplating buying will soon secure them. The list of fall patrons at the Lakeview, Lake Waramaug, includes: MT and Mrs F. H. Bennett, Jersey City, N. J; Miss Edith Overbaugh, Newark, N. J.; MT and Mrs John E. Bates, Mt Vernon, N. r.; Mr and Mrs Henry c. Ives, MT and Mrs John F. Addis, New Milford; MT and Mrs, l.. A. Mansfield, l.. H. Stocking, New Haven; J. W. Myers, New York; F. H.

BAD BLOOD, BADn0OMR REEKION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin.
 To have smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for short time, but cannot remove per- manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfguring pimples.
