FEARFUL HuMOR
COVERED Face
RESINOL CURED

Paterson, N. j., Dec. 0, 1918. "Aboua
a year ago my face began to crack and
get sealy in blotches. 1t soon got
worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and it itched me very much at
night, and caused me no end of discom-
fort. After month or so, pimpies and
blackheads began to show, first in small
numbers and then gradually covering
my entire face. It was awful. The
pimples were sore and the rash was
itchy and my face had a most un-
slightly appearance. I could get no
relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol 0int-
ment caused me instant relief. BY the
time another jar of Resincl Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap were gone,
/ can truthfully say that Il was COM
plete cure. My face had assumed its
former color and looks, due to Resinol
Soap and Resinol Ointment. They are,
! think, the best for any skin trouble"

Need If Many More Cottages To
 Supply the Demand.

That the demand for cottage dwell ings in Stonington borough and vii cinay is gteater than the supply Is a faox that Is becoming more and more evident all the time. With Stonfng- torxs big manufacturing concerns, Tlre American Velvet Co. and The Atwood Machine Co, in such four ishing condition of business as they are at present the erection of a score houses ought to be good investment. Superintendent Killars of the Ameri- can Velvet Co. states that at least e1, a99 Is being taken out of the town weekly from the mill, that might just as we'll be spent in the borough if there were accommodations TOT the people, who work at the mill and are obliged to live in either Pawcatuck or Mystic. He said that there ought to be ct least 3e more families living in this place from among the employees of the mill. The same applies almost to as great an extent to the employees of the Atwood Machine Co. There is not the least doubt but that as many = 70 cottages. at a very conservative GQ9atD. could be rented here just = soon as they were built It would mean more business for the storekeep- CTS and less expene for the mill em- ployes as their trolley and train fares are a considerable item Building would. of course have to be done outside the borough limits. either to the eastward or north of the borough. If present active business conditions prevail here it is reasonable to ex- uect sooner or later something or Q boom along this line.
