REDUCING THE EXPENSE

When Senator Judson said yester- day, i've are all tired and sick, think, of procuring nominations by the use of money, he voiced a sentiment which will bring an appreciative echo not alone from the unco guid. To the practical politician, the hard headed man of business who appreciates the value of money, it has long seemed a waste, a poor investment, to expend $50. 900 for securing an office whose gross return, in salary, is only $S,000, and whose net return is much less or in some cases, nothing at all.
 This may indicate the reason why the proposal to set by law a limit not only hard and fast, but low, on the such an opposition from the politicians It is as fair for one side as the other, for one man as another And even the wealthiest of the candidates are not unwilling to be protected by law against the tendency to "tap their barrel,'' or their own temptation to spare no expense.
 This is the least of the reasons why the state should have such law That is not the only respect, to be sure, in which the corrupt practices law should be strengthened. But there seems to be a little prospect, at least of securing from the present Iegisla- ture a corrupt practices law which, either by accident or design, shall have positive effect in a desirable di- rection. We have waited for it long time. and now is none too soon to get it.-Journal Courier.

Many letters come to my desk each
 week asking for the formula of a
 depilatory-or the address where one
 can be procured already prepared which will remove superhuous hair
 quickly and permanently" A satis- factory reply to these queries is im- possible.
 Depilatories can be procured which will quickly remove the abnormal growth of hair, but none has been discovered which will, at the same time, prevent the growth from again appearing. It Is easy to destroy the surface growth, but to, find remedy which will kill the life in the roots from which the hairs spring is quite another matter.
 Electricity, applied by means of needle which penetrates the pores of the skin and carries the electric cur rent directly to the hair root will de- stroy the life in the roots But even electricity will not accomplish this result in once using, and, in some cases, even with frequent use, the hairs persist in appearing.
 A depilatory should remove all hair from the surface of the skin in one application without irritating the skin. The occasional use of the depilatory will serve to keep down the dishgur- ing growth, and in many cases its continued use will weaken the growth till 1t finally ceases to appear. In no case that I have ever heard of has the use of a depilatory permanently removed the hair in one application.
 When the hairs on the face are few they can be removed with the tweezers, causing no pain nor incon- venience. In some instances this method has entirely eradicated the growth in a short time; in other cases the hairs continue to appear, but can be easily pulled out when they first begin to show, thus preventing them from becoming an annoyance.
 It IS serious mistake to resort to any method for removing hair from the face unless it is actually a dis fgurement. On all normal skins there is downy growth which is called "lanugo," and which gives the skin it's soft, velvety appearance. This growth is heavier on some skins than on others, but is seldom sufi- ciently noticeable to warrant the use of asdepilatory. When the down is removed, the skin becomes shiny and hard looking, and the down is apt to come back much heavier and with a stronger growth.
 When the hair is prominent enough to really dis6gure the face, it is de- cidedly sensible to use the best ob- means to remove it. In doing this 1t is quite necessary to adopt the methods which have been proved safe

Especial to The Farmer.1

l. Fairfield, Aug. 19-John Sullivan, IS years old was tried before Judge Ba- con Wakeman yesterday on a charge of stealing purse containing $16 from Mrs. Elsie Wiebe of Grasmere. He is putting up a strenuous defence. He denies the charge in toto but the circumstances are against him. John has been in the reform school at Mer-
 loen and is now out on parole. He has been mixed up in several escap- ades which have brought him to the
 par. His case was continued till Tuesday. Sheriff H. R. Ellwood made the arrest and afterwards took the boy to Bridgeport where he will be held at police headquarters.
 People are asking what benefit the residents of the town derive from the presence of a motor policeman in this vicinity. Although numberless viola tions of the automobile laws are re- ported no arrests have yet been made. Last Sunday the policeman was seen in full cry after a big Fiat machine which was simply burning up the road. AS no arrest followed he is be- lieved to have been unable to catch his quarry.
 The civil suit brought by First Se- lectman Charles Fox to recover the value of a dog killed by Isaiah Ter

 Edward OLeary who was fined for running wheel of fortunei at a clam bake two weeks ago gained the sym pathy of many in the court room by his straightforward attitude. The ac- cused is a cripple and stated that he had no other way of making a living as he could not work. He admitted everything charged against him read fly and promised never to engage in any gambling games again. On ac- count of his condition Judge Wakeman reduced his fine to $15 without costs which was cheerfully paid although had.

The rain fell in torrents for few minutes but the wind did the damage. Trees were blown down in different parts of the town A big tree fell across the trolley tracks at Spring street oppos- ite w. H. Goulds store. The trolley and guy wires were torn down and no cars passed until the construction cars arrived from Bridgeport with their crews. A trolley man was stationed on the street with red flag to warn travellers that live wires were down and to move with care. Branches were blown across the wires at the town hall and also at Benson's switch. | At other points the wires were car- ried away. Passengers were transfer l red around the Instructions and the | regular schedule was entirely suS- | pended for the balance of the day.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

H1LDA e. F.: Preparing the green soap for a shampoo is not a very diff ficult task. Two tablespoons of the m the S haa aaa water f is be stirred till the soap is dissolved. This requires little time, but it makes enough for several shampoos, and can be bottled for future use. A couple of ounces of alcohol makes an improve ment. Apply as you would any ordinary shampoo, rinsing carefully and thor there is dandrun of an oily nature @ ~A .
 sUBscRIBEE: The great objection is that the strong acid is very likely to l ,tgro11 would = think hi the brown spots due oil glands. Your skin is to dry and the pores do not eliminate properly, and this alone will cause the complex ion to look brown and withered. You bleach. I will suggest the best creams for your needs, if you will send me the necessary envelope.
 1nDDLE-AGED READER: You will find very satisfactory results from the especially for white hair, as they not only greatly improve the growth of the hair. but keep it snowy and beautiful as pared and the tonic is so refreshing and cleansing that 1t does not have to be "shampooed out" as you seem to think necessary.
 TIRED, CITY: Nothing will ever take the place of reasonable rest. If you are overriding every day, you must evolve some plan to snatch a half hour twice during the day when you can relax entirely and relieve the nerve ten- sion. There is nothing better that I can suggest and it will make new woman of you in a short time. Your health and happiness are of much greater mo- ment to the family than so much scrub ping and dusting, and you would better plan to preserve yourself, even at the risk of neglecting some of your duties.
 QUIZ, CITY: You can make a soap jelly by dissolving about five ounces of the best white soap, in a pint of boil ing water. Keep warm till the soag is all dissolved and put in wide mouthed jar to cool. Two tablespoonfuls of this jelly with two raw eggs beaten in it makes good shampoo. It is needless to say that the eggs should not be mixed with the soap until ready for the shampoo. Thorough rinsing should always accompany the shampoo, no matter what medium is employed for the cleansing.
 BURDENED: The external remedy for reducing flesh will answer your needs very nicely and will take off a number of inches from your waist meas ure within reasonable time. It is per- fsctly safe to use and you are welcome to the address where it can be procured.

PARK THEATRE ATTRACTIONS

To the Park theatre this afternoon
 and evening Henry W. Savage will
 send his latest production, which is
 one that has taken rank among the
 most successful stage offerings which
 this producer. of successes has pre-
 sented in the last decade. It is the
 farce called Excuse Me- the work of
 Rupert Hughes, equipped with a sub
 title to wit "A Pullman Carnival the
 proper application of winch is at once
 made evident when it is announced
 that all of the action of the piece
 takes place aboard an overland limit
 ed railroad train bound from Chica-
 of the principal stopping points for overland trains the passengers upon the particular one which carries on it
 the story of Excuse Me- include
 several who have that separation metropolis for their objective point
 and divorces as their object. Also,
 there are a minister and his wife who
 for twenty years have been existing monotonously in small town and have decided to treat themselves to a vaca-
 tion without betraying the nature Of the husbands calling. Then there is a young couple which would be on a
 wedding tour but for the fact that
 the breaking down of a cab has pre-
 vented their arriving at a parsonage in time to allow for the marriage ceremony The fact that the friends of the couple believe them to be mar
 ried adds to the narrowing nature of their experience. The three acts of Excuse Me" so teens with incidents that it would be futile to even at- tempt to tell it's story. The fact that it has proved to be, the one really big laughing success of the season wher- ever it has been seen thus far and the name of Henry W. Savage as it's managerial sponsor will, doubtless, be accepted by local playgoers as suffi- cient guarantee of merit to justify an unusual amount of interest For the interpretation of the story of Excuse Me" MT. Savage has gathered a cast that is really remarkable. The or ganization numbers thirty-one and it's roster includes the names of num- Der of the best known and most cap- able American character actors. Some of them are: Geraldine O'Brien, Geo. W. Day, Marguerite Skirvin, Isabel Richards, Frederick Macklyn, Charles Abbe. Charles D. Hermann, Philip Staats, and Harry Carter.
 The musical comedy success "The French Maid" will be seen at the Park Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, This announcement will, no doubt, be received with pleas ure by all of his patrons as it is con- sidered musical treat of the season. the big cast of principals will be found such we'll known artists as Billy Hallman, Tony Murphy, Ray mond Knox, George Herbert Edgar | Robinson, Arthur Tillet, Eddie Nich- ols, Tony Brewster and Edgar Lori- | anne Gertie Favor, Florence Leslie, | Helen Forn, Marie Janview, and Stella l Bracket have important female parts l to interpret. l
