A Simpl. Way To
 Reduce Freckles
(F'rom The Home Maker,

Bear in mind that wrinkles as well as bagginess of cheek or chin, are cue to the muscular tissue losing it's strength and shrinking. The skin is then too large in area to fit such tis- sue smoothly 1t wrinkles or sags
 To remedy this condition there's nothing so effective. so quick acting. as a simple wash lotion you can easily make at home. Get an ounce of powdered saXolite at your druggists, and half pint witch hazel mix the two and bathe your face in the liquid. This treatment at once tightens the skin and solidifies the underlying tis- sue--which of course smoothes out the lines and draws in the sagging skin. It also stimulates circulation bringing natural color to faded cheeks

 Value of Commercial Department.
 It has been found that the commer- cial department of Killingly High school is the means of providing more positions and means of earning money than can be accredited the other de- partments of the institution, although in this consideration the value of the other courses is not underestimated. The commercial department merely has the advantage of opening money making positions for the pupils imme- diately upon the completion of the high school course. Many stenographers now holding positions in Connecticut Massachusetts and Rhode Island cities and towns are graduates of the local school.
