Why Do French Women
 Always Look Young?

In France mothers and daughters look like sisters How are the women there able to retain their youthful looks until long past middle age? Is 1t because they are much given to the use of mercolized wax? This wax possesses a remarkable absorbent property which quickly removes the fine particles or cuticle which are constantly dying and which are the immediate cause of an old-looking complexion. Thus the nvelier, healthier, younger skin be- heath is given a chance to breathe and show itself. Try this treatment your self Most likely it win not require two weeks to make your complexion as clear soft and beautiful as a young girls. Just one ounce of mercolized wax Can American druggists have It) usually does the work. The wax is put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornings.
 Another valuable secret with which the French are familiar is how to quickly remove wrinkles Dne ounce of powdered saxolite dissolved in d half pint witch hazel makes mar yeIously effective aStrlngent lotion The face should be bathed in this daily until even the deepest lines are af- TRCted,

 Money Wasted-Channel Fills Up Again-Connectcut Deeper Waterways Association Formed at New Haven

''Vessels which use the Panama Ca nal to bring grain, fruits, prunes or lumber and many other products of the northwest to New England, will have to pay $1 a net ton toll,' said Major Gillette, formerly a United States army engineer, in addressing large gathering of business men of the state at New Haven Wednesday after noon, who are interested in waterways development in Connecticut. The av- craze vessel is of 3,500 tons net regist- ter That $500 tolls is to be a burden only be frightened by cheaper trans portation. If John Hay or any other statesman made poor bargain in treaty making so that $3,500 burden Is to be laid upon every vessel load of food brought from the west coast to New England we ought to have our congressman skirmish around to see what is in other treaties and find out what is needed to be done to save our honor and our tolls.''

FOR UNSIGHTLY COMPILATIONS OOAiAA AAA AAOANA '~.
 USE RESINOL

Pimples and bIackheads disappear, unsightly complexions become clean, clear and velvety, and hair health and beauty are promoted by the regular use of Resinol Soap and an occasional application of Resinol Ointment. These soothing, healing preparations do their work easily. quickly and at little cost, when even the most expensive cosmet- ics and complicated beauty treatments fail.
 for nineteen years and every druggist sells Resinol Soap (25c), and ResinoI Ointment (50c, and S10O). Avoid limitations or '-substitutes'' which a few interruptions dealers offer. they are usually of little value and may even be positively harmful. For free trial, write to Dept 11-R, Resinol, Baltimore.

Saw Woman in Black With Baby.

Except to find one more person who noticed the woman in black carrying baby bundled up along Main street in the vicinity of the New Haven de- pot on Tuesday afternoon, no further clues were reported by the police on Wednesday which might point to the identity of the person who deserted the three weeks old girl baby in the wOm ans toilet room at the railroad station on Tuesday afternoon. Both the per sons who saw the woman with the baby noticed that she was a young woman of very slight build snd that her clothing indicated extreme pover- ty. It is considered probable that she may have come from out of town and had have got safe back home by the time the baby was found.

 Henry F. Betting of Poduetanucll got five nice ones on Wednesday morn ing.
 The fishermen found that many of the ponds from which the streams ran were still covered with ice. which meant that the water was pretty cold. and that the fish were consequently not very active. In the larger brooks the water conditions were bad, be- cause they were overfiowed. but in some of the smaller streams it was easy to get to the right places for fish ing.

 He said that he had been testing clippings from a number of the varie- ties in the Kitemaug orchard and that they showed that it was not the early varieties of peaches that had suffered but rather some of the later varieties. Clippings that he had taken from a number of trees had blossomed out when kept in water in the house for a test.
