"Smple Remedy From Eagle Drug
Store Removed Them" Says
Society Lady.

1.-THE best skin specialists told me
that nothing would remove my frcck-
les and that | would carry them to my
grave" said a well known society wo-
man, "but l fooled them all with a
new drug. othine-double strength,
that l bought at Eagle Drug Store
which cleared my skin and gave me a
fine complexion"
The action of othine is really re-
markable. for when applied at night,
many of the freckles disappear entire
lY by morning, and the rest have be-
gun to fade. An ounce is usually all
that is needed, even for the worst
cases.
BE sure TO ask the Eagle Drug Store
for the double strength othine as this
is sold under a guarantee of money

PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE NAMED
ment This sesson-Grounds Off Lake Street to be
Developed

At the special meeting of the board
of trade on Tuesday evening in the
board of trade room in the Shannon
building, all the speakers were in ia
vor of the idea of doing something in
behalf of the playground movement,
AMI the first step in that direction was
taken by the decision to go ahead, the
appointment of a special committee to
have charge of it and the appropria-
ton of $50 for the starting of the fund
to carry on the work

President Haviland called the meet.
ing to order, the minutes of the last
meeting being read by Clerk Tibbits.
An explanation of the report of the
civic committee given at the last
meeting was given by Amos A. Brown
ing, chairman Of the committee who
said that if anything is to be done II
must he Done at once ard not wait un-
til the first of July. The city has been
at work on Comstock pond land, off
Lake street, and that is nearly ready
for use as a playground. Mohegan
park is some distance to go. and for
that reason many would not go there.
1t has been thought best to form q
playground association and do what
is possible to help it along. The Prin-
cipals' club had to go ahead and form
such an organization and he reiom-
mended that a committee be appointed
to cooperate with them forming a
voluntary organize ton to do what it
can Perhaps l. VIII he possible to
do much without great outlay and
not have It cost the city anything.
The committee recommended the APP
prevail of the movement. the naming
of a committee to act with other or
ganizations committees and the APP
propriating of $50 from the treasury.
Advocated by Supt. Stanton.
Supt. J. B. Stanton of the West
Chelsea district stated that he was
much interested in the movement,
having been named as chairman of the
Principals club committee on this
matter. This is q busy time for the
principals, he said. but they will do
all they can, and have been about the
city looking UP places and find that
there is no lack of places for play
grounds. There are many schooly
which are considered able, num-
Der of places owned by the city which
could be used, and if those would not
be adequate. others could be secured
as there are unoccupied lots which
could be secured and in time the city
might purchase them. He thought that
many would be willing to donate land
or lend their assistance IN many ways
to the movement. The development
would be a matter of time
He showed a map of the city on
which had been placed eleven circles
representing a quarter of mile in
diameter The common center for
many of these would be Michigan park

sum of $50 to the movement. Re

was stated that no estimate had been
made. The city will level off the
ground at the Comstock pord land, but
there ought to be someone there TO
have the oversight of the grounds. as
