To Ward Off Winter
Complexion Ills
(From The Queen)


70 keep the face smooth, white and
beautiful all winter, there's nothing
quite so good as ordinary mercolized
wax. Rough, chapped or discolored
skin, inevitable in this weather, is
gently absorbed by the wax and re-
placed by the newer, fresher skin be-
meath. The face exhibits no trace of
the wax, the latter being applied at
bedtime and washed off mornings
Creams, powders and rouges, on the
other hand, are apt to appear con-
spicnous at this season, because of
alternating expansion and contraction
of the skin, due to changing tempera-
lures. I advise you to try this simple
treatment. Get an ounce of merco-
ilzed wax at any drug store and use
like cold cream. This will help any
skin at once, and in a week or so the
complexion will look remarkably
youthful and healthy.
Winds and flying dust often cause
squirting and other contortions
which make wrinkles. You can quick

READFIELD FAIR.
kennebeC Society to Hold
Important Meeting.
Questions Of New Grounds, Nov
ling Buildings, Permanent Home.
New Fair likely to Come TO Augusta
.-0ifer Of Manager Hanks.

Readfield Me. Jan. 10.-tSpeciaD.-
The annual meeting of the Kennebec
County Agricultural Society, which
viii be held at Grange hall, Readfield.
on Tuesday. Jan IA, at 10 A. NJ,
promises TO be of unusual interest and
should call out large attendance of
laymen as well as members.
One of the important questions to be
discussed is the rights of the society as
to the use of the Fair grounns. For
some time past, there has been friction
between the owner of the land and the
society. the lessor claiming the right to
pillow up and plant the ground within the
enclosure TO the serious Inconvenience of
the society and its patrons. The lease
is silent as to the exact use which the
lessor may make of the grounds but the
society contends that the lessor shall
make use of the grounds for the pur-
poses of a pasture only as the lease
states that the society shall maintain a
land suitable for pasturing purpose,
hence by implication the ground shall
be used for the purpose of pasture.
Being To dSIte. tAte itS-Oi OldiiiS
the society has broken its agreement, he
has refused to accept the rent due from
the society and has taken possession of
the grounds. This leaves the society
without a home.
Some members propose TO purchase
suitable grounds in close proximity to
the railroad track at the depot, build
suitable track, move the buildings there
on, and have permanent home for the
society. For this purpose, land can be
obtained at reasonable rate and the
NJ. C. r. r. will be glad to assist. AS
the society has not the funds at its dis
posal to effect so great a change In sea-
son for the annual fair of 1913, it is pro-
posed to hold that exhibition in Augusta.
Negotiations have been entered into
with Mr.. Hanks. manager and lessor of
the race track and grounds at Augusta,
and Mr. Hanks has rendered the use of
the track. grounds. and buildings to the
society without charge. Mr.. Hanks has
also volunteered to assist the society in
every other possible way 1t is hoped
that satisfactory arrangements can be
made in every way and the old Kenne-
bee Agricultural society, the oldest in
stitution of its kind in the United States,
have a permanent home. Dinner Will be
served to all.

Castro's Habeas Corpus Fails,
But tie May Be Admitted to
Bail--Decision Expected, Today.

New York, Jan. 10.-Cipriano Cas-
tro, former President of Venezuela,
who declares he is being unlawfully
prevented by the immigration authori-
ties from entering this country, had
his day in court, today, before a fed
eral tribunal in this city, but tonight,

tempt to land. The writ of habeas
corpus sued out in his behalf was not
dismissed outright in the United
States district court when the matter
came up for hearing before Judge
Holt. The judge, however, announced
his decision to dismiss it but held his
decision in allegiance until he could
settle the question as to whether he
had authority to grant an application
for Castro's release on bail pending
the determination by the immigration
authorities of the Venezuelan's right
to remain in this country.
Judge Holt said he was disposed TO
grant an application for bail provided
he had authority to 10 so and request

where he has been confined since his
arrival in this country, ON Dec. 81.
Judge Holt upheld the contention
of District Attorney Wise that Cas-
tro's examination by the immigration
authorities had not been completed
and that for that reason the court had
no authority to interfere in the case.
Castro's counsel, George Gordon Bat
tie. held that the case had in fact
been completed, on the ground that
the immigration authorities had "Ex-
