EASY WAY TO GET
RID OF PIMPLES
Resinol Really Does What Cosmetics
Are Supposed To Do.

1t is so easy to get rid of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol, and it
costs 30 little, too, that anyone whose
face is disfgured by these pests is fool
ish to keep on with useless creams,
washes or complicated "beauty treat
ments." Here's the way to do it:
Battle your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with dash Of
cold water to close the pores. Do this
every morning and evening, and you
will be surprised to see how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol balsams
soothe and cleanse every pore, leaving
the complexion clear and velvety.
Resinol stops itching instantly and
speedily heals eczema, and other skin
humors, dandruf, sores, burns and piles.

ment, so cts. and Sl.00, Resinol Soap,

Fruit Growers Of Eastern Maine II
Meet at Bangor.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting Of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. M.
Thursday, Feb. 26.

The officials Of the State highway
department are hard at work making
preparations for the State roads con-
vention, which will be held at Bangor
during the second week in April and
which will last two or three days. This
convention will be held for the pur-
pose of giving the members of the
State Highway Commission an oppor-
tunity TO meet the local officials and
discuss the years work with them and
it is planned to make the convention
as educational as possible. To this
end material and machinery manufac-
turers have been invited to make ex-
hibits and a dozen representatives of
this kind have signified their intention
of being present.
The State Grange and the Maine Au-
tomobile Association have promised to
cooperate in making the convention
a success and addresses will be deliv-
cred by officers of each of these or
ganizati lions. 1t is also hoped to have
addresses from representatives of the
office of the public roads department
at Washington. The highway commits
sioners of New Hampshire, Vermont
and Massachusetts are expected to give
addresses SO that the road builders in
Maine may have an idea what the 9TH
er New England states are doing in
this line.
Not the least interesting feature of
the convention will be several Illus
trated lectures on improved road and
bridge construction by engineers thor
oughly conversant with their subject.
Arrangements have also been made for
the loan of four sets of moving pic
ture films which will show all the OPP

for use in the construction of modern
highways together with all the steps
in the construction of all highways.
The Bangor Chamber of Commerce is

make the meeting a success.
Inquiries and information which has
already been received indicate that the
coming meeting at Bangor will be the
largest attended road convention ever
held In New England.

State Highway Officials Make susses
tons.


Letters were recently sent out from
the State highway department to the
chairman of the municipal officers
over the State, calling attention to the
last page of the new State road law,
which contains a table showing the
maximum amount which may be rails
ed by any town against which State
aid will be apportioned, and also the
amount of State aid. The letters state
that if an amount less than the max
imum is appropriated by the town.
State aid will be apportioned on the
basis of the amount appropriated.
The following articles are given to
be inserted in the warrant in order to
bring the matter before the town meet
ings:
Article -. To see If the town will
vote yes or mo- on the question of
appropriating and raising money nee
essary to entitle the town to State aid,
as provided in Section 20 of Chapter
$50 of the Public Laws of 1918.
Article -. To see If the town will
appropriate and raise the sum OF s.
for the improvement of the section or
State aid road as outlined in the re-
port of the State Highway Commits
sion, in addition to the amounts reg
ularly raised for the care of ways,
highways and bridges; the above
amount being the maximum which the
town is allowed to raise under the
provisions of Section 10 of Chapter
1870 of the Public Laws of 1919"
The officials attention is also called
to Section %, which provides for the
raising Of additional money by the
towns and the apportioning of addi-
tional State aid. And the letters re-
quest that the action of the towns be
reported to the State highway depart
ment Immediately after the own meet
ings on the enclosed blanks.
Other letters sent out to the mu-
nicipal officers all over the State call
attention to Section IS of the State
highway law, which reads as follows:
Section IS. State aid highways
shall be continually maintained under
the direction and control of the COM
mission at the joint expense of the
State and town in which the same are
located; the charge against such town
for maintenance of its State aid high
way shall not exceed so per centum
of the actual cost of such maintenance
nor an average of $50 per mile per
annum. The provisions of this section
shall apply only to those State aid
highways constructed and improved by
the State under this act and to such
other portions Of designated State aid
highways. to the improvement OF which
the State has here tofore contributed,
as the commission may hereafter in
dictate as taken over by it, and the
commission shall as rapidly as 1t
deems advisable so take over such
highways for the purpose of mainte-
nance as herein provided"
The commissioners state that 1t is
their intention to take over for main
tenance as much Of the State road
highways already constructed as it
can arrange for during the coming sea-
son and the details will be announced
as soon as worked out. 1t is suggested
that an article be placed in the war
rants asking the towns to raise and
appropriate sums proper to comply
with the provisions Of the section
quoted.

The care and treatment of tuberculous
patients in prison is now a much dis

that the tuberculous patient should Ne
kept apart from healthy people. Under
the present condition at this institution
this is impossible. I would advise a
building being built for the confinement
of the tubercular in this prison. I do
hope that this State will soon realize TIE
necessity of segregating and treating the
tuberculous inmates IN this institution.
