great mills OF the Cranes were idle,
and the 600 men and 400 women OPP
eratives were present. Men, whose
fathers and grandfathers had been in
the employ of the Cranes, told of the
liz years of Cranes as employers,
and three generations of the sans
families as employees. They recalled
that the town hall, the public library,
the churches and the hotel were the
gifts OF the Cranes; they told of SEN
ator Cranes interest in the village
and the villagers, how he visited the
sick. supported the aged and infirm,
who had given their best efforts in
his employ, had always listened to
the troubles OF the people and found
way to aid them. After the schooi
children had sung, a veteran OF the
mills, Chester B. Scudder, an old sol
der, presented the gifts. He said:
We find unanimity Of expression
OF love and confidence. Every hand
that is held out to you is the hand OF
a friend. We bring an affection and
confidence which your sixty years OF
life in this community have proved
you we'll worthy to receive. There is
no home SO refined and exalted that
your name Is not mentioned there
with reverence and respect, and no
home so lowly that has not been en-.
nobled by the spirit of brotherhood
and charity you have extended to ALL
May you long be spared to enjoy the
fellowship of this people and the
honors you have SO richly earned
Senator Crane made possibly the
longest public address he has ever
made in his home town, in reply. He
said:
Il am greatly pleased and deeply
touched by this kind reception, for no
one can value more than do the
good will of friends and neighbors at
home. 1t is most gratifying to be as
sured that retained this esteem dur
ing my public service, and in spite of
difference OF opinion. Public life
brings some annoying trials, but it al
SO offers an opportunity for service
which have greatly appreciated and
enjoyed. and I sincerely thank the
citizens of Dalton and Berkshire FOR
the more than generous support they
have always given me-
Il hardly needed this reception and
these beautiful gifts to assure me Of
the affection and confidence of the
people of Dalton. That has been
shown for very many years, ard has
been constant encouragement and
inspiration to me. And yet am glad
to have visible token of SUCH friend
ship in this beautiful loving cup,
which | shall treasure as ,oug as /
live, and for which I thank you with
all my heart. ! shall always remem-
Der with the greatest pleasure, the
cordial reception given to me today

Youthful, Beautiful
Skin Easy to Haze
(From the Clubwoman)

You may be as healthy as a bird in
the air and still have poor complex
ion. Changing seasons and tempera-
lures, winds, dust and dirt, are apt to
injure any skin, even though the gem
eral health be good. When these ex.
ternal influences spoil the complexion.
the natural thing is to remove the
spoil by external means. Ordinary
mercolized wax will do this. It will
actually absorb the weather-beaten
film-skin, a little each day. In a
week or two you'll have brand new
complexion. a new skin, The exquis-
itely beautiful and youthful complexion
thus acquired, comes 30 easily, with

son why any woman should not adopt
