tent to remain as you are. l am glad you
like my shampoo recipe and l am sorry
you had trouble in getting canthroN. l
never mention an ingredient for any
recipe that you cannot obtain in any
first-class drug store without difficulty.
If your druggist happens to be out of
any article named he can easily obtain it
from his wholesaler. 81
Anxious Inquirer: Large pores and
blackheads are frequently caused by use
of face powders. Amoline cream jelly
(you can make it YOURSELF is the best
remedy I know for clearing the skin of
blackheads, large pores, certain types of
pimples, etc. Put an ounce of amoline in
a fruit jar and add ~ pint of cold water
and two teaspoonfuls of glycerine, stir
briskly for a few minutes and let stand
until it becomes a thick cream jelly. For
massaging, apply with the fingers and let
remain for a minute on the face, and
then rub well with the hands The dirt
will at once roll off and the pores will be
thoroughly cleansed. In cases of tan,
freckles, chapped face, ETC. apply and let
remain for few hours. 1t contains no
fats or oils that will cause hair to grow,
SO you can use it as freely as you wish.
X. Y. T.: Face lotions or washes are
to be preferred to ordinary face powders,
but the manufactured brands are pretty
expensive for everyday use. Your sal
low, dark and oily skin can be made
white and more youthful if you will use
this recipe To a half pint of hot water
and two teaspoonfuls of gycerine add 4
ounces of spurmaN; let stand until cold.
Apply to the hands and face with the
palm of the hand and continue rubbing
the skin where applied until dry. This is
complexion beautifier that whitens the
skin. 1t is also good for cold-sores.

Ellen r.: To keep your eyes bright and
clear, use an eye tonic made by dissolv
ing an ounce of crystos in a pint Of
water. This makes an eye tonic that is
good for tired, weak or infamed eyes. 1t
will not smart or burn. 1t strengthens
the sight. tends to make the eyes beauti-
full and lustrous. and is an aid to those
who wear glasses. Apply by dropping
one or two drops in each eye.
Grace J.: Your blood is out of order
and the blotches on your face are prob
ably caused by torpid liver. Get from
your druggist l ounce of kardene and Y
pint of alcohol. TO these add 4 tea cup
of sugar and put into liz pints of boiling

Unfinished business: AN Act to re
store Portland bridge.


MIR. MOULTON of Cumberland: Mr..
Speaker, this bill was tabled pending
the adoption Of House Amendment A
Last week l made a motion to indefi-
nitely postpone this amendment with
the bill. The gentleman from South
Portland (Mr Spear proposed that UNI
less he could offer proposition which
was acceptable to every representa-
tive on the delegation outside of the
city of Portland he would let the mat
ter drop. Under those conditions I ac-
copied the proposition. At that time
every delegate in Cumberland county,
together with the county commission
ers, was opposed to this bill except
three, and during this time the Port
land delegation have got together and
have agreed on matters in regard to
City hall and the other matters per-
tanning to Portland with the under
standing that the remaining delegates
from Portland shall support this bill
that the Portland bridge shall be built
over. This amendment says that work
on this bridge on the passage of this
act shall at once begin. The bridge at
the present time is in a good state of
preservation and probably the best au-
thority we have says that it will an
swcr the purpose and be safe for from
four to six years. Three county COM
miSSiOnerS are opposed to this bill and
the best experts they can obtain say
that the bridge is absolutely safe. The
only thing about it that they bring us
is that the bridge is inadequate to do
the business which is done at the pres
ent time. I make a motion to indefi-
nitcly postpone this bill and the
amendment.
Mr. ROUNDS of Portland. Mr.
Speaker, have an amendment to offer
which provides that in the judgment of
the county commissioners, when they
deem it advisable, they shall build
Portland bridge on certain lines. Those
of you who wanted to do so had an
opportunity to look at the situation
there and you saw what it was. how
they had to wait for the draw to be
opened and working as it did in the
old way: but we are willing to keep
on until it gets worn out so that it
may be built right under the direction
Of the county commissioners; and If
YOU vote against the indefinite post
ponement of it I shall introduce an
amendment to that effect.
When Portland draw was built is
years ago that bridge was not built
to allow an electric car over it. It was
Only designed for a six ton bridge. That
bridge has existed all these years and
since then the large Saco cars weigh
ing 10 or - tons are passing over that
bridge 1 am not asking for the county
commissioners to construct this bridge
right away, but when in their judg-
ment they shall think it best to do SO.
If 1 am permitted I shall offer an
amendment to this effect. that when
ever in the judgment of the county
commissioners public safety and bus
mess requires the reconstruction Of the
