GETTING EXCITED
LitchfleId Contemporary Views With
 Alarm

LitchfieId Contemporary Views With
 Alarm
 Our usually calm and serene, and always esteemed contemporary, the Litchfield Inquirer, is just now so fustered over newly discovered mares nest with the mare on, that it permits itself to relax it's characteristic and becoming sunny Jim" smile, and to view with alarm. This is tits alarm ing view. under the sassy heading of "Leave Us Alone."
 Certain members of the Legislature seem to be interested in upsetting Litchfeld county all they can. Of course we expected the revival of the bill to remove the court records to Winsted not for the benefit of the tax payers of the county but simply to &C., commodate a few lawyers and help along Winsted in her desire to take away all she can from old Litchfield, but we hardly expected it would be a Thomaston man who would introduce the motion. If Thomaston and Plymouth are to be annexed to Waterbury. as part of a new county, what use have they in thls fight anyway?
 "We have referred to the taxpayers standpoint, now let us look at it from that of the lawyers and see just what there is in it. Winsted has IA law yers, New Hartford 3, Norfolk 1, North Canaan 5, Salisbury 3. This makes a total of five towns with population of 19,061. Add to this Barkhamsted, Canaan and Colebrook and the population is increased by 2,124. For some reason Thomaston, as we have said, seems to be on the of side, so giving her to Winsted it makes that town favored by 28 law yers and 8 towns out of 26 in the country.
 "On the other hand this is no real ar gument in favor of Winsted. She is simply way station on the O, N E and happens to be at the upper end of the former Naugatuck division. The real metropolis of this county is Tor rington with it's population of nearly 17,000, almost three times that of Win chester. Yet Torrington and her or 10 lawyers are with Litchfeld, as here tofore in this latest Wihsted grab act Litchf1eld has nine attorneys, New Milford five or six, Sharon l, Cornwall 1, Watertown 9, Woodbury 1, Wash ington 1. That makes Litchfield stand with 25 attorneys and a population of nearly 5O,000 against 28 attorneys and a population of 10000 for Winsted. We are proud of the old county. We are proud of the towns south, east and west of us. We have helped you out before, we need your help again. It is on par with another grab scheme of Winsted, which will develop in the near future. Stand by old Litchfield Hill and it's county seat. The Legislature has turned Winsted down before. it will again. The upper end of this county is not as unanimous as appears. The lower end is."

 That Charles E.

Sagging or Hanging
Cheeks and Chin
(From Woman's Magazine)

(From Woman's Magazine)
Flabbiness of cheeks, chin or
neck has been considered very
difficult to correct, until the re-
cent discovery of a veritable won
der-worker for such conditions.
The preparation is so simple and
harmless any woman can easily
make and apply it. 1t is all the
more remarkable in that it's bene-
ficial effects are apparent even
after the first application, both as
to appearances and the feeling of
comfort produced.
The formula is: Powdered saXo-
lite, 1 o., dissolved in l pit. witch
hazel. Use daily as a wash lotion.
The solution tends to contract and
solidify the loosened, baggy It's
sue, smoothing out the folds,
creases and wrinkles, besides hav-
ing a refining influence on skin
of coarse texture and large pores.
AS witch hazel and saxoltie can be
had at any drug store at little
cost, many will doubtless be glad
to have this successful recipe.
