pies work.

addresses by these gentlemen,
outlining the work that each ex-
pected to do during the week.
The Tuesday morning session
opened promptly at 10 o'clock
with song followed by prayer,
led by Mr.. Flake.
The first hour was devoted to
the study of that part of the
Sunday School Manual dealing
with the organization of the
Sunday school. Mr.. Flake con-
Quoted the recitation in a most
interesting manner.

To Absorb Freckles
And Other Blemishes

Every spring I receive many letters
from girls seeking some reliable
recipe for removing freckles. Last
year I advised many to try mercolized
wax. Such favorable results we're
reported that this season have
recommended nothing else for the
purpose. The wax seems to possess
unusual properties which completely
absorb every freckle. with no harmful
effect. The complexion improves
wonderfully. becoming as soft as a
rose petal, and as delicately tinted
Get an ounce of mercolized wax at
any druggist, spread a thin layer OF
1t over the entire face every night
for awhile, washing this off in the
morning. For rough. red skin, SAL
lowness, blackheads, pimples. and all
cutaneous blemishes, this treatment
is superior to any that has ever come
under my observation.
Springtime also brings wrinkles to
many sensitive skins that are much
exposed to winds and changing tenn
peratures. Pour a half pint witch
hazel into a basin, then an ounce OF
powdered saxolite. which quickly dis
solves. Bathe the face in this; the
effect on a wrinkled skin is remark
able.-Marie Demarest in Ladies' Fav-
orite Magazine.

THERE a no valid reason why convcts of certain
classcs should not be employed on the roads in

Ncts be guarded properly when at work in the open

Women and children who are alone on the farms or

There is another question that will enter into the
matter that now has been brought formally to the
attention of the Levy Court by the trustees of the
county workhouse That is that one section of the
county shall obtain the bulk the benefit that in
evitaby will result from such work There must be
some equitable arrangement with respect to that The
suggestion that the convcts be kept at work for
long time the public roads near the workhouse is
not likely to be acceptable to the peape in the other
sections OF the county unless they receive positive as
surance that they will be the recipients of an equiv
aient amount Of good road work from non-convct la

Levy Court Commissioners and the workhouse trus-
