An opportunity which is sure TO
prove as beneficial as it is rare will
be afforded the women of Skowhegan
and vicinity when Mrs. N. Goodwin, the
much talked of Beauty Specialist, now
touring Illinois as representative OF
the United Drug Company of Boston,
creators of the many Harmony

known toilet preparations. starts her
public demonstrations for the week
commencing Monday. April 6. as the
guest of f. w. Buchanan. proprietor
of the Rexall Store and sole distribu-
tor of the Harmony Toilet Products
in Skowhegan.
Mrs. N. Goodwin contends that it is
the privilege of every woman to take
advantage of anything that will tend
to lend touch OF added beauty to the
skin: but, says Mrs. Goodwin, extreme
care should be exercised to choose
only such preparations that really do
help nature in the identifying of your
complexion.
"Of course no one will question the
assertion that the woman with the
clean. well-preserved skin is much
admired person anywhere, and, she
continues, IF the woman OF To-Day
would only take the care to treat her
skin to the benefits of good massage
that she takes in reading the house

see fewer wrinkles, and more, yes, a

We have no doubt about Mrs. God

The long struggle, the battle on
the river Aisne, as it is called, be-
tween the Germans and the allies.
which began on the eleventh day of
September. will pass into history as
the longest field battle the world

Mukden between the Russians and

the great battles have been over in
a day, though Gettysburg continued
three days. The duration of some
famous engagements has been as
follows: Waterloo, s hours; Sedan

Gravelotte, 8 hours; Mars-la-Tour
10 hours; Koeniggratz, s hours;

thought that the business in which
he was employed could get along
without him. He would sometimes
say:
Yes, | work hard and probably
contribute something to the profits;
still guess IL you had to you could
do without me, all right"
And again:
"A good many men think they
are Indispensable. They get the
idea that the wheels would stop If
they weren't around. That's a wrong
idea. ! know a great deal better
than that"
One day the head of the firm sent
for this young man and said
you have given me an idea. I
have heard you say so often that the
business could get along without
you, and 1t has had such a psyche
