BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

Doris: If you wish to, make grease;
less complexion cream Jelly that will

sity of several months treatment, you

cold water; stir briskly and let stand
you will find this an excellent cream for
removing wrinkles. blackheads, frecl&les,
roughness and other skin blemishes. 1t
will leave the skin smooth clear and
velVety and is matchless preparation
for massaging and reducing the size of
large pores in the skin.
T. H: Plain delatone is the best thing
l ever heard of to remove superfluous
hairs from the face and forea-ms- 1t
is painless and requires little time. OF
course, the hairs may return, but If they
scarcely discernible. A second or third
application will rid you permanently of
lar an ounce. but one ounce is all you will
ever need. Simply mix a little delatone
with enough water to form paste: cover
the skin from which you wish to remove
the hairs with this paste; let 1t remain
two or three minutes, then wipe off and
wash with warm water
Mary F.: BY devoting just a little
time each day to the care of your com
plexion. you can ward off the marks of
tractive, youthful-looking features as
your younger friends. Use good, grease
less complexion cream (see answer to
Doris), and instead Of clogging up the
pores of your skin with face powder, get
a dependable lotion and use in exclusive
ly. You can make such lotion by buying
four ounces of spurmax at your drug
gists and dissolving it in one-half pint
hot water; then add two teaspoonfuls
glycerine and when cold apply freely to
your face, neck and arms. This lotion Is
inexpensive and unequaled as skin beau
tifier. It does not rub off or show like
face powder and you will find it excellent
for removing that shiny. muddy look from
your skin. I find it good for removing
and preventing freckles. skin pimples and
any unnatural skin roughness-
B. W: If my eyes continually had
that tired, overworked feeling you say
yours do. I would lose no time getting
a good tonic for them. My eyes are JIM
clined to be weak and keep them in good
condition by using a simple, inexpensive
remedy made by dissolving an ounce of
crystos in pint of water. A few drops
in each eye occasionally will readily re-
Iieve inflammation and make ones eyes
bright and sparkling Try this and am
sure you will not need TO wear glasses.
1t is a splendid tonic for weak, watery
eyes. also granulated lids.

Runaway Pond.

One of the descendants of John crane
now living in Keene, N. H., has writ
ten letter to the secretary of the Or
leans County Historical society stating
that his ancestor figured somewhat in
the Runaway Pond event, but objected
to his men going there to help because
he was afraid Of trouble arising from
their proceedings. He was present on
the occasion but it seems that he took
no active part in the movement. He
was there to guard against the trouble
that might arise from the indiscretions
of those younger citizens who were
more liable to be governed by excite
ment than discretion. John Crane s
name appears in the list of those who
met on June 5, to make plans to cut
the channel on the next day, but his
descendants quote what they heard him
say, that he only went to watch the
movements of the other parties, fear,
ing trouble.

Missisquoi Valley School Union.

On Saturday, April 80, the school
directors of Lowell, Westfeld, Jay,
Troy and North Troy, met at Troy, and
voted to form union for the purpose
OF employing superintendent, who
shall give his entire time to the
supervision of the schools of these
towns. Under Act No. sc of the Pub
lie Acts of 1908, the superintendent is
allowed a salary of $125O, of which sum
the state pays $1025. He is hired by a
joint committee consisting of one
member of the school board of each
district comprising the union, subject
to the approval of the state superin-
tendent of schools.
This insures each town superin-
tendent thoroughly conversant with
school work, who will see that the
teachers are competent to do their
work and in other ways see that the
schools are bought up to the best pos
slble standard of excellence. The
forming of this union has for some time
been contemplated, but not until the
present have conditions been favor
able. In the educational departure the
Missisquoi Valley School Union will
rank with the many progressive
localities throughout the state that
have adopted what has proven so fan
to be the best method of advancing
the efficiency of the public school sys-
tenn. Compared with the benefits
derived the cost of expert supervision
will be trifiing sum.
The joint committee of the Missisquoi
Valley School Union is for Lowell, DIR.

A Successful Barton Bow.

MT. EulCOr
AS Barton people are always inter
ested IN the prosperity of Barton bows
you may be as pleased, as was I. in
one of my old classmates who left
Barton 10 years ago and who has
never returned to greet old friends. I
had the pleasure today, May 7. of
dining with Graham Hall and family.
Mr.. Hall came here to Baltimore with
his folks when 13 years old and after
finishing his education engaged in the
bicycle business, and at the coming of
the automobile engaged in the auto
business, working his way up to man
ager of one of the largest garages
which sold the Packard and Buick
cars. One year ago the firm known as
the Auto Outing Company was formed
with Mr.. Hall as secretary-treasurer
and manager, backed by a wealthy lum-
Der dealer and personal friend of Mr..
Halls. A large and beautiful garage
was built at 21 East North avenue. When
Mr.. Hall left the old company he took
with him the Buick agency showing
the manufacturers confidence in him.
He handles the Buick, the HAYNES and
Chalmers-Singer cars. Mr.. Halls
quiet unassuming manner has made for
him host of friends. In the short
time | was with Mr.. Hall he sold
three cars, two going to the CITY of
Baltimore. Mr.. Hall told me his all
lotment OF Buick cars for 1910 was Is
cars, which if he succeeded in getting
would not meet the demand.
Very truly,
H. P. Baldwin.
