PLAYWRIGHT IN HERO ROLE.

Vote in 1910 Shows That the District Is Reasonably Close
 One

Willimantic, July 23.-William A. King of this city, former attorney-gen- eral, will probably be the Republican candidate for congress from the new second district Congressman E. Stew ems Henry of the first district, who is now resident of the second district, has declared himself not candidate for reelection and Congressman Ed win w. Higgins has also declined re- nomination.
 It has been considered possible that Col Andrew N Shepard of Portland, who was the Republican candidate for congress in the old second district in 1910 and who went down to defeat by Congressman Tom Reilly, might want to try his chances in the new second but Kings friends believe that he can win out against Shepard, who in some quarters, is reported to have had all he wanted of congressional fight in 1910.
 As a matter of fact former Governor Frank B. Weeks is reported to have a liking for a life in Washington and he would prove a more formidable can- didate against King than Shepard.
 The vote in 1910. in the counties which comprise the new second district prove interesting in a discussion of congressional possibilities. The vote in the governorship was as follows:

by wireless. l was not permitted.
I was told that the wireless was
in constant use on line business,
presumably with the White Star
offices at New, York. ..,.
I believe the holding up of the
wireless messages was more due
to excitement than any desire on
the part of the Olympic captain
to censor news.

TO REMOVE FIRST
SIGNS OF OLD AGE

The infallible first sign of age
Is the sagging cheek muscles.
These are more difficult and seri-
GUS to treat than wrinkles. The
sagging muscles indicate they
have grown too weak to remain in
place; they must be assisted,
strengthened.
The best way to strengthen
them is by using a wash lotion
made by dissolving an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint
witch hazel. This creates a freer
circulation to the parts. besides
causing muscles and skin to con-
tract. Saxolite, procurable at
every drug store, has long been
known by complexion specialists
to possess remarkable properties,
valuable in treating flabby tissue
and wrinkles. Advt.
