street, a barberry hedge would be ap-
propriate and attractive There is 4

intimate footing with a shinsied house
The barberry hedge is graceful the year

some hedges, but II you give il plenty
OF sunshine Il viii soon be hedge

mind one Of the huckieberry. In the fall
the hedge is 4 wonderland OF reds And
in the winter its berries are an abiding
bit OF warm color.

Rangeley. Me-, April 15.-The ice is
beginning to break up in the Rangeley
chain of lakes four weeks earlier than

recollect that the ice ever left before

How to Cure Pimple.

1t is truly remarkable how Cadum.
the new skin remedy, causes pimples
to disappear. The very worst cases
are frequently cured in week. and
often in even less time. Cadum causes
pimples to dry up and fall off. leaving
the skin as soft and smooth as a
baby's. Pimples are a disease of the
skin, and are not caused by bad
blood. as many people suppose. Cad
UNI cures these annoying and disfig-
uring facial blemishes because it can
be applied direct to the trouble, and
it's soothing. antiseptic and healing
powers stop the itching at once. Cad
UNI is just as efficacious in other skin
troubles. such as blackheads, blotches.
