 Mir. Smith is 7S, healthy and active. Some of his Danielson customers have traded with him for more than 25 years He has nine cows on his farm. No ice is used there in the summer, but the butter that is produced will, as he puts it. stand all day in the sum-" because it has been worked in the old-fashioned laborious way until it has the staying qualities that he de- mands.

HotU English Beauties
 Keep Faces Youthful

Christian Miller, F. C. l., noted Eng fish health expert, attributes the early aging of American women mainly to the national nervousness" The women of England, she says, can teach us the inestimable lesson of re- pose.
 Another valuable lesson to be learn ed from the English woman is that she docs not go in much for cosmet- ics the continual use of which must ruin any complexion, The beauty de- voices of King Georges realm have the mercolized wax habit, a more wholesome method of keeping the face girlish-l looking and healthy. Ordin- arily mercOlized wax used like cold cream, reiuvenates the worst com piexon. American women may easily acquire the habit, this wax being ob- tainable at drug stores generally in the United States, It is applied at night and Washed off in the morning. One ounce is sufficient to completely renovate q bad complexion. II has a peculiar action in keeping the face free from the particles of dead and deVitaiized scarf skin which are con- stantly appearing. -Womans Herald.

 No great amount of business was transacted during the evening, aside rom hearing and accepting the report oi the teachers committee relative to certain teachers and their salaries.
 Principal J, l.. Harroun of the Nat chaug school appeared and related to the committee the difficult task con fronting the committee in securing a competent teacher to handle the sev- tnth grade at that school for the en- suing year, as Miss Standish had re- quested that she be released from her contract. She has been offered a school near home. her father is in ill health and she deemed it advisable that she accept the place offered. So far, he has been unable to get teacher suf- hclently well qualified for the figure that the committee wanted to pay. He said that the grade would have at the least calculation 56 pupils the com- Ing year and that it required a good strong teacher to hold the place, the biggest in the school since he had been there. A good teacher for the grade ought to get not less than s14 per week ln view of the work to be done.
 Miss Clarissa Davis was engaged as teacher in the commercial department at the Windham high school at sal ary of $500 and P. k. Palmer was engaged for the same department at a salary of $S60. Concerning the mat ter of the salaries of Miss Bass and Mossrs. Shea and Waugh it was de- Cided to let them stand as they are. A letter was read from Miss Anna L. Bates teacher of English at the high school, requesting to be released from her contract for the coming year, as she had a more advantageous offer frcm the Gilbert school at Winsted. The majority of the committee did not want to let her go, and it was finally voted to instruct Principal Egbert A. Case to offer her s1,000 with the hope of retaining her services. There was some opposition to this but the vote prevailed Miss K l. Spaulding took occasion 10 say that if the public gen. orally did not know what was paid Tor teachers there might not be such difficulty in keeping them as at pres ent.

Two Foreclosures Granted-RaiIroad Cases Settled Out of Court-Jury List Prepared-Barrett- Clifford Mar riaqe.


 There was a brief session of the superior court here Wednesday morn ing, Judge William s. Case presiding. Two foreclosure cases were disposed Of at the sitting
 In the case of Sophia Pollock ys. the heirs and creditors of George A. Wal len, late of Ballouville, and his wife and daughter foreclosure was granted, one week being allowed in which to redeem.
 Several years ago Mrs. Pollock deed ed her property in Ballouville to MT. Wallen, he giving her a mortgage on the property and agreeing to support her during her life. His death, oc- curing about a year ago, of course, prevented his carrying out his part of the agreement, which his heirs were not willing to assume; hence the fore closure action became necessary. Tor rey & Geissler were counsel for Mrs. Pollock.
 The other foreclosure case was that of Willie s. Sprague of West Somer- vile, Mass, vs. Mary A. Nichols of Danielson, John 4. Paine of Danielson and the Windham County Savings bank of Danielson. Judgment was for $1,565.15, the amount due on the mortgage on the Mary A. Nichols prop erty, occupied by Irving H. Roberts, or School street, Putnam. The court allowed Mrs. Nichols until the first Monday in September to redeem, MT Paine until the second Monday in Sep tember, and the Windham County Savings bank until the Tuesday in September following the second Mon- day.
 The railroad cases set down for trial here ednesday-Fayette L. Wright of Pomfret vs. the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co., and Mary A. Nich- ols and John NJ. Nichols, executors vs. the N. T., N. H. & H. R. R. Co.,, were settled out of court.
