STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council, Monday, Aug. 10. at 1870 p. M.

The sessions of the summer library
school were continued, Friday. at the
judiciary rooms at the State House.
Reference books useful for the study
of religious and sociological questions
were discussed and instruction in cat
aloguing was continued.
The instructor of the school, Mrs.
Belle Holcomb Johnson of Hartford.
CT, lectured in the afternoon on
"Children's Books" She enumerated
as among the enemies of good reading
by children, moving picture shows:
sensational books like the nickel nov
els; mediocre books, colorless and neg
alive in character; and the comic
newspaper supplement.
In speaking of the mediocre chill
dren's books, she said: 1.-THE harm done
by such books is just this: if the child
continues to read on this level he will
never get beyond the narrow bounda-
ries of his own vocabulary and the
| scenes of his daily life; as a result his
power of reading will be weakened
and his imagination dulled so that he
cannot find pleasure in strongly writ
ten books, descriptive of other scenes
and countries.
These books. too. while apparently
teaching good morals. often teach by
inference that luck, as often as hard
work, brings success; that there is al
most invariably a conspicuous reward
for the heros good actions; and that
the youth in the stories are wiser than
their elders"
Mrs. johnson urged the librarians to
use ell their tact and skill and their
own appreciation of the best books to
lead the children to love the great chill
dren's books.

FOR sALLoW, BLoTcHY,
ROUGH OR GREASY SKINS
(From Woman's Tribune.)

Some skins require constant groom
ing to keep them from becoming oily,
muddy blotchy or rough. or If such
condition has developed, to overcome
it. In such chronic cases it is par
tieularly inadvisable to keep piling on
cosmetics which clog the pores. col
lect dust and dirt-especially in
warm weather-making the complex
ion worse than ever. It's a lot more
sensible to use ordinary mercolized
wax, which literally absorbs bad
complexion. Apply the wax, like cold
cream, before retiring; next morning.
in washing 1t off. you'll wash away
fine, flour-like particles of the insight
ly cuticle. Repeat for a week or moro
and you'll have an entirely new skin
soft, satiny, spotless and beautiful
as a childs. One ounce of mercolized
wax, procurable at any druggists, is
all youth need.
If the skin be wrinkled or fiabby.
here's the best possible remedy; Mix
H5 pint witch hazel and 1 ounce pow
dered saxolte and use as face bath.
1t works like miracle. yet is entirely
harmless.
