CLOGGED PORES
CAUSE BLACKHBADS

Blackheads are invariably the result of
clogged or enlarged pores. The pores
will quickly become enlarged II the face
is not thoroughly cleansed and rinsed
each time II Is bathed.
Powder should always be carefully
washed from the pores at night before
retiring. as IL this is not carefully done
much harm will result in enlarged pores.
Tho dirt and digestion have also much to
90 with this condition.
Pastry and rich, greasy foods have a
most disastrous eject on the skin. 50
that to have a skin OF flne texture tits
necessary to look we'll to the diet. Green
vegetables, such as spinach, fresh salads.
and carrots should be freely partaken OF,
also cranberries and celery. Fish, eggs,
poultry, and milk are all good numbers
for a sensible diet.
Another important remedy which aids
vastly in treating this condition OF the
skin is fresh cir, plenty Of II at all times.
The skin needs the aid for a healthy con-
dition quite as much as the lungs.
The green soap treatment is very good
for the blackheads. IL consists Of two
ounces of tincture Of green soap and two
ounces of distilled witch hazel. This is
put on the face after It has been cleansed
left on for a few minutes. and then thor
oughly removed with very warm, but not
hot, water, and rinsed with cold. II this
should prove Irritating, apply q cold
cream and use only every other day.
Battle our face well each night with
warm water and lather with a good. pure
soap, rinse with plenty Of warm water,
then with cold until the skin tingIes,
when pat dry. In the rinsing water you
might use a few drops of tineture of
benzoin, and in the morning use a cold
spray on the face Almond meal IN ex-
cellent for softening and cleansing the

As Old Sol approaches the zenith Of
his journey across fhe heavens and the
days grow longer and warmer. we begir
preparationS for protectionl against his
seorching wrath.
The sunshade affords this protection,
and at the same time Is charming addi-

The thoroughly up-to-dats woman al
ways is on the alert for something smart
and new.
When the shops displayed their tempt

the sunshade was of silk in a paisley

inserted six inches from the extreme
edge, formed the only trimming.
This was designed to harmonlze with

Green taffeta parasols win be exceed
ingly good style. The prettiest Of these
have handles and tips OF crystal.
Handles OF carved wood. 10 represent
animals and birds. tinted with the natural
colorings, are considered smart.
Since taffeta gowns and hats are TO be
worn much this season. a parasol covered
TO match the costume worn displays good
taste.
II expense Is no consideration. there
are exquisite handles OF carved ivory and
precious metals richly incrusted with
jewels.

ton of whether these things are de-

full use of money. The Great Apostle
said that for him all things We're law
full. but not all things Were expedient
TO the Station many things. as de-
monstration work, giving away of seed
without consideration, exhibition of
fruit and other crops at State and in
terstate shows might be expedient in
making it popular, but such things are
not lawful. DR. Twitchell also more
than intirnated that if the Station had
exhibited at Boston, Maine would have
won the prize. Even if it were lawful
for the Station to thus use its funds.
and even supposing the managers of 81
contest would admit the Station as a
competitor for prizes it would be man.
ifestly unfair, immoral and unrighte-
Gus for State institution to compete
against private effort and private cap
ital, be it at Boston, Augusta or any
other place.
In the work in corn breeding and in
oat breeding the cooperation of indiv-
hope will be had for many years. In
this way the varieties being tried and
the strains being developed at High
moor Farm are being tested under the
oversight of Station officers in the diff
ferent sections of the State. This can
be done lawfully for as a consideration
for the seed thus distributed the Sta
ton reserves the right to make all de-
sired records during growth and at
harvest. To distribute seed beyond
this experimental work would be I'M
lawful and probably no one would crit
icise the Station for so doing quicker
than the Doctor who now complains
because the seed produced beyond the
need for governmental purposes is sold.
| In fixing the price for anything sold
by the Station two considerations are
always kept in mind: Not to place the
price beyond the reach of the average
farmer; and not to make the price SO
low that it would be unfair competi-
ton to the private grower of like
crop.
The statement that DR. Twitchell
makes that 'by the act the State has
no jurisdiction over the receipts, no
auditing OF the accounts no voice in
| the~expenditure of the income from the
farm" is true only in respect to the
words "by the act" The very facts that
the farm was purchased for the use
of the Station that the Station is a
department of State institutions that
all it's receipts and expenditures are
controlled by the State through the
Trustees appointed by the Governor
and Council for that purpose; and that
all its accounts of every kind are au-
dited by the State Auditor explains
why these matters are not mentioned
in the act by which the purchase Of
the farm was authorized.
DR.. Twitchell says relative to the
purpose for which the farm was pur-
chased that the work in corn. grain
and vegetables was an afterthought
and that this Is properly State fruit
farm. DR.. Twitchell had nothing to
do with, and knew nothing, except by
