LIFE OF A PImPLE.
Compilations Are Cleared and Pimpes
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble.

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged to pur-
chase it without first obtaining an ex-
perimental package. Those who have
tried it will find that the fifty-cent
box, on sale at Coughlins Pharmacy,
and all drug stores. is sufficient" to
cure the worst cases of eczema,
where the surface affected is not too
large. The itching ceases on first APP
plication. 1t will also cure acne,
letter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives,
BARRIERS and every other form of itch,
including itching feet. Being flesh
colored and containing no grease, the
presence of poslam on exposed sur
faces, such as the face and hands, is
not perceptible. Water and soap can
not be used in connection with it. as
these irritate and prolong skin
troubles, sometimes even causing
them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam. it can be had free of charge
by mail. of the Emergency Labora-
tories, 80 West Twenty fifth Street,
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight. and
to rid the face of pimples in twenty
four hours.

a bridge across the st. John river be-

the provincial government would meet
the State just about half way across
the river.
Previous to the hearing upon the
resolve a hearing was held upon the
report of State Highway Commissioner

of the bridge and the most desirable
site. The State highway commissioner

This $4,000 was asked especially for
the construction of a central heating
plant. 1t would mean the saving of
many thousands of dollars annually.
1t would save the income on $4,000 at
five per cent.
Mrs. j. II. Rand of Lewiston spoke
in favor OF the appropriation from the
standpoint of the women students. Tn

serious question. Today the women,
as well as the men, must earn their

Fairfield and Clinton and $4,000 NV the
counties of Somerset and Kennebec
Inc proponents of the measure were
Iepresented by Walter A. Cowan OF
flttsHeld and each speaker was limited
10 hVe minutes. Senator Shaw of Ken
nebec explained to the committee that
tnere was no means of crossing the
kennebec river between Fairfield and
Skowhegan except the ferry AT
Plshon's Ferry. T. B.. Barrett of Canaan
spoke of the advantage the bridge
would be to the people of Canaan while
Manly Morrison of the same town
said that while the building of the
bridge would take one-third OF the
trade away from his mill to Hincklay
he believed the people ought to have
the bridge
5. r. Felker of Clinton brought out
the TACT that there were two months
IN the spring and fall when the ferry
was impossible and also spoke of he
how OF the logs, which when a south
wind was blowing made it impossible
to get the ferry boat across the river.
George Foster of Canaan declared him
self as plain farmer" and said that
while his father got along with a
ferry boat he wanted a bridge ut
Pishon's Ferry.
Representative Rounds asked the
next speaker, w. T. Totman of Clinton,
if the State gave half the amount
asked would Fairfield and Clinton give
the other half. Mr.. Totman replied
mo. We expect to get a part of it out
of the counties of Kennebec and Som
set"
County Commissioner George Tib-
belts of Somerset county was asked by
Senator Wyman what the county
would do in regard to the building CT
the bridge, but he was unable to state
definitely.
The star witness was Sanford
Strickland, the ferryman at Pishon's
Ferry He said that he was a great
deal like the farmer whose COW had
been killed by the Cattle Commission
on account of tuberculosis, for when
his ferry boat was killed by the bridge
he expected to be compensated for it's
loss, and he was afraid the people in
his section might object to his being
compensated if he did not speak for
the bridge.

breeze, but when you gentlemen vote
to put in the dam at Shawmut I shall

John Towne of Portland, agent of
the Portland Bridge Co, stated that
the estimated cost of a three span
bridge at Pishons Ferry, with a center
span of $50 feet and two additional
spans of 120 feet each, was $4,000.
In closing the case for the propon-
ents Mr.. Cowan stated that the build
ing of the bridge would increase the
valuation of that section so that it
would be a paying investment for the
State. He alluded to quarries, rich
farming soil and 300.00000O feet of pine
and spruce as among the assets of the
region.

The next matter to come up was a
resolve in favor of the towns of Scion
and Embden. asking for an appropria-
bridge across the Kennebec river be-
tween Scion and Emblem at Scion
Ferry. Turner Boswell of Scion con-
Quoted the case for the proponents and
those who spoke in behalf of the meas
ure were Representative Malon Patter
son Of Scion, Representative Frank
Thompson of SkoWhegan, Representa-
tive Forest II. Colby OF Bingham, State
Dairy Instructor l.. s. Merrill, =. S
Longley and J. H. Gray of Scion.
The proponents argued that the only
way of crossing the Kcnnebcc river
in this section was the ferry a mile
from the town of Scion and plans ana
maps explaining the situation were
shown by Mr.. Boswell. 1t was further
explained that the ferry can be oD-
Grated only about six months in the
when it is not in operation teams are
obliged to go from seven to eight miles
beyond to cross the river. 1t was IS
timated that d bridge about $50 feet
in length would be required and it was
stated by the proponents that neither
of the towns were able to make SUI
ficient appropriation for the above. The
proponents also contended that such a
bridge would be of great convenience
to residents of Franklin and PiSCata-
quis counties as well as Somerset.
