 Miners Alone Suffer
 With the advent or warmer weather the matter becomes one of no great concern to the average domestic con sumer of anthracite, but for the sake of the families of the miners, who have now been out of work almost five weeks, it is desirable that the present status should not continue much longer.-Philadelph Record.

A New Face Without
 Surgical Skin Feeling

"l do not approve of the surgical op- erati0n of face peeling," says Julia Orff. It's too radical, too often dangerous. There's a better way of removing offensive complexions and one that is entirely safe and rational. Ordinary mercolized wax causes the devitalized scarf skin to come off, but gradually and gently. Unlike the sur gical process, the skin is not forcibly taken off in big pieces all at once, but almost invisible flaky particles are absorbed by the wax, and from ten days to two weeks are required to complete the transformation. There's no pain, no discomfort.
 Nature reneWs complexion the same way, shedding tiny cutaneous scales day by day. But deficient circulation, or other abnormal condition, may in- terfere with the shedding-a bad com plexion' results. Then mercolized wax assists Nature by hastening the re- moval of the aged. faded or discolor- ed top skin. Thus only the lively young. healthy hued skin is in evil dence, as in robust girlhood. This is why nerColized WAX produces the in descrinable beauty of ever renewing youth The wax is put on at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning You can procure it at any druggists: an ounce is sufficient

Public Irritation.

The whole public is patient on the surface. Underneath the surface, how ever, there is much of irritation, much of justifiabIe indignation.

POI4I'S

With an unprecedented array of vaudeville talent, Polls this week of fers a bill of feature acts throughout, every number on the program being of sufficient calibre to be starred as headliner. With such an offering, Bridgeport's most popular playhouse and one real vaudeville theatre is sure to be thronged to the doors at every performance, and seats should be or dered as early as possible.
 Lulu Mcconnell and Grant Simpson, metropolitan favorites and head iners everywhere, are among the stellar fe a. lures of this weeks offering. Their latest production is "The Right GirI'', bert Hall Wfnslow. In it Miss Me Cornell plays a dual role, as twin sis .ters. The sketch is a light one, built for the purpose of laugher only, and with two such great vaudeville artists as Mcconnell and Simpson in the leading roles, is bound to create a furore.
 Cook and Lorenz, starred in musical comedy for their great laughing work in tramp roles, are included in this weeks bill, and will give their scream fngly funny version of 'The Million aire Hoboes." Cook and Lorenz are probably the two most famous tramp character comedians in the world and their idea of the subject is ludicrous in the extreme and one of the greatest provokers of laughter ever staged. They will be great features on the bill
 Towards Ponies, everywhere known as the greatest animal act in Vaude- vile, will be another of the stellar attractions. Towards Ponies are the prettiest and the brightest lot of equine performers ever gathered to- gether, and the tricks they perform are marvellous; at the same time they go through their feats and stunts W tn evident enjoyment and need but lit tie urging from their trainers. ~~ This act will delight the chi dren and equally appeal to. the grown ups.
 Three White Kuhns, one of the very classiest of the three men and a piano act", and one of the originat- ors of this form of vaudeville enter tainment, are bound to durlicate thS immense hit which they achieved for themselves on their previous appear ance here. Playing a variety of in StrumentS, and offering the rag time and popular selections with that gin ger and vim which make for vaude- vi le success, they are sure of plea S. ing every audience and obtaining as many encores as they will take.
 still another headline feature of the weeks great bill will be Willard s Temple of Music, one of the latest and biggest of musical move ties. with a company of six capable musicians, a big scenic setting and every attraction that makes for vaudeville success. One of the special features of the act is the variety and novelty 9f the played by the performers.
 Other great features of the week of headliners will include Cartmell and Harris, a pair of classy American singers and dancers, just back from a big success on the Eurouean va riety circuits: the Smith Sisters, two pretty girs with new songs and steps to capture the audiences: Poli's Photo Plays, with the latest and most en- tertaining products Of the motion pie ture studios, and PoIi'S concert orchas- tra, led by Prof. Berg. with the very hest of musical seIec tions includ ne the catchy and popular Pink Lady '

 CLUB NOTE.
 Dear Doctor:
 Is there any cure for carbuncIe?
 Have been troubled with them for the last five years Had them remov- ed three times and they are still growing and are very painful. I
 like your new department very much. B. E. J. A carbuncle means a destruction of the skin and the tissues directly be- meath. It is most common with elder ly or feeble persons, and produces se- were constitutional symptoms. Oc- casionally more than one carbuncle
 may appear on the body at one time, and if so the constitutional symptoms are ape to be graver.
 Poultice the spot with flaxseed. Sprinkle over with golden-seal Have an incision made across the carbun- cle, which should be cut deeply and then apply the poultice as before, all though it would be beneficial for you to mix tt with a litt-e myrrh and Slycerine. Apply around the edges compound tincture of myrrh. Change
 these poultices every four hours, also washing around the ulcerous surface 1 with extract of witch hazel one ounce, | hOrax one dram, warm water one i pint. A small syringe should be used. The stream will wash away ] all accumu ations. While suppura- ton lasts these poultices should be ! constantly applied. In order to keep | up your general health and strength you should have a very nourishing diet, sufficient exercise and sleep in { well ventilated rooms
