END OF A RED NOSE
New Flesh colored Product That
Heals and Hides Skin Imperfections.

A peculiar feature of poslam, a new
skin discovery, is that it Is naturally
flesh colored and contains no grease,
so that when used on the face for the
complexion, or for pimples, red noses,
or any other inf1ammations, blemishes,
or discolorations. it's presence cannot
be detected. 1t can thus be applied in
the daytime, the natural color of the
skin being Immediately restored and
the actual healing and curing process
accomplished in few days. 1t can
be had Of any pharmacist who sells
pure drugs Coughlin's Pharmacy
make a speciality of it. Fifty cents
worth will answer either for the
troubles mentioned or in curing
ordinary cases of eczema. Itching
stops at once.
The Emergency Laboratories, No.
80 West Twenty-f1fth Street, New
York, are the sole dispensing agents
for poslam in the United States, and
will send an experimental quantity
free by mail in plain wrapper to all
who write for it. This will show re-
suits after an overnight application.

The work of decorating City hall for
the coming reception to the Governor,
Council and members of the Legisla-
ture, which will be held next Tuesday
evening, Feb. 16, is progressing nicely
and an idea may soon be had of how
the decorations will appear when COM
pleted. The decorations will include
a combination of bunting and ever
green, but the latter will not be used
so extensively as on some former oc-
casions. There will be festoons Of
evergreen along the front of the bal
cony and it will be used to some extent
in the stage decorations but there will
be no festoons from the center of the
ceiling, the effect Of that style of deco
ration being considered too heavy. 1t
is understood that the decorations in
that portion of the hall will be festoons
of bunting and colored lights. Some
new ideas in decoration will be intro
duced and it is expected that the gen.
eral effect will be one of much beauty.
