FOR PlMPLEs, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Overnight.

A few months ago the dispensers OF
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-
vious to that time it could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success Of any
thing introduced to the drug trade in
the last 80 years. All leading drug
gists including Coughlin's Pharmacy
in Augusta are now carrying the spe-
cial 5O-cent size recently adopted, also
the 81 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, in eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately and cures chronic cases in
a few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne,
herpes, blotches, rash, etc, results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are
sent to anyone by mail free of charge,
by the Emergency Laboratories, 80

City.

The report presented Thursday by
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, president
of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada
at the semi-annual meeting of the
company in London was adopted only
after sharp criticism of the manage
ment. One of the shareholders, amid
applause declared that he was not at
all satisfied with the honesty of the
accounts and that he so seriously dis
trusted the alleged economies that h..
doubted their reality. The president
admitted that the report was disap-
pointing but said it was not discour-
aging. He said also that he was sat
isfied that the worst of the depression
that had prevailed throughout North
America was now over.

1t will be OF interest to parents to
know that fire escapes are to be placed
at once on the Smith and Webster
school buildings. While the halls and
stairways in these buildings are spaci-
Gus, it was thought best to take the
additional precaution of placing two
fire escapes on the Smith building and
one on the Webster Several more ex-
tinguishers will also be placed in the
Webster schoolhouse. This, in addi-
ton to the measures taken last year,
will render all our school buildings
safe beyond peradventure.
The tuition of resident High
school pupils has been advanced from

From time to time it has been found
necessary to add to the equipment Of

in use, and "a pupils are receiving in

Attention is once more called to the
fact that those who desire evening IN

cause the present limited accommoda-
tions afford no room little can be done
in this direction before another year
An initial step has been taken, how
ever, in giving the pupils collectively
two half-hour lessons per week in
music. This has already aroused con-
siderable interest among the pupils
and will. it is hoped, lead to the fur
