To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition All Summer

It would be much better for the skin If
little cream. powder or rouge were used
during the heated term. Mixed with
perspiration, dust and CRIME. these
things are anything but identifying.
Ordinary mercolized wax will do more
for the complexion and without giving
an oily, streaked, spotted or pasty ap-
pearance 1t is the ideal application for
the season, as it not only keeps the pores
clean, but daily removes particles of
scarf skin which have been soiled by
dirt or weather By constantly keeping
the complexion clear white. satiny, it
does more toward perpetuating a youth
full countenance than any of the arts or
articles commonly employed. One ounce
of mercolized wax, obtainable at any
drugstore, will completely renovate the
worst compilations. 1t is applied at night
like cold cream and washed off in the
morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
wrinkling, or TO overcome such condition,
there's nothing better than a face bath
made by dissolving / ounce powdered
saxolite in IN pint witch hazeL-Adv.

Sheriff Thompson Surprised

A big surprise came to Sherin
Frank Thompson Tuesday afternoon,
when he was confronted by band or
his deputies and before he could COM
mand himself was presented with a
gold watch and chain, their equal In
value not found on any other person
in Skowhegan. 1t was Merchants day
in the town and the sheriff noticed
that a number Of his deputies were
present, but supposed it to be for that
event alone. They had other designs.
About noon they gathered at the home
of Jailer Charles H. Chute and when
the sheriff came into the house from
feeding the prisoners, Deputy Mckin-
ney of Madison jumped up and cere-
moniously presented his CHIEF In be-
half of the deputies Of the county, the
beautiful token of their regard. NO
one wonders that the sheriff was with
out words, 1t being several minutes
before he could speak. He then said
that he had the best lot of deputies
found in any state. The watch on its
back bears in Old English the sher-
ifs initials On the inside Of the back
cover are engraved these words:
Prom his Deputies, 1913-1915." The
gift included a charm, with emblems
of the Odd Fellows and Canton. The
sheriff is that proud that his friends
thought Wednesday that his front had
grown a little since the morning be-
fore.

No Chance For Fight With Willard In

to return to Australia Sept. 80.
According to Lippe the war has not
affected the fight situation in the Anti

new MANAGERS
MAKING GOOD
StaIIlngs, Higgins, 0'Dsy and Her
zog Show Class In National

How are the new managers-the
men who haven't been at the head OF
National league teams more than two
seasons-making out? How do they
size up, anyway?
You can hardly call Stallings a new
bird, as he has been in and out Of the
fast company as a manager a large
number OF times. However, this may
be, he has shown better class and cap
ability this season than he ever did
before, and seems to have learned as
much for his own good as he is teach
ing his players.
Miller Higgins has improved won
derfully over anything he displayed
last season, showing all sorts Of clev-
erness, good judgment in picking his
pitchers, and plucky spirit that has
helped his team immensely Few
managers could have done so well
with the material he had at hand
only praise and the glad hand can be
extended to him.
Hank O'Day, making his second es-
say at the head of a club, has had a
lot OF troubles, many handicaps and
yet, on the present returns, can not be
called anything but winning manag-
er. He put the Reds in fourth place,
which honorable standing they main
tanned neither before nor since Hanks
short leadership, and he manages to
keep the Cubs, though only phantom
OF the old champion team, up and a
pennant contender. You can't call that
a bad performance, can YOU?
The portly Robinson is having the
same fate that annually befel Bill
Dahlen; the downfall OF Brooklyn to
an average gait OF about .45O, which
they will maintain till the October
finish. Just why or how so powerful
a club as Brooklyn always nops like
that is ineXplicable. Robbie, with his
magnetic GOOD humor was expected to
lead them upward-but his is the same
story as Dahlen's was each summer.
Even though his team is in the Sec
ond division, Buck Herzog has been
one OF the 1914 sensations. has gained |
great popularity both in Redland and |
round the circuit and looks like the |
only logical man to take the reins in |
1915. So far as HerZog himself and |
his management are concerned not one
fan or expert in any city doubts that |
Buck, with one more pitcher one more
batsman, could have held his
gang way up in the first division, and
made good from April to the ending.

TWO VETERANS
HAVE FORTUNES
Nap lajoie and Hans Wagner Near.
ing End of Their Tenure

Ballplayers will come and go-thou-
get most Of them as quickly as their
names cease TO appear in the box
scores, but the names OF two players
who are about To pass out OF the sport
as active articipants will live IA long
az the national pastime itself.
The names OF Napoleon Lajoie, fam
Gus Cleveland second baseman, and
Hans Wagner, equally famous Pitts
burgh shortstop, have been written in
letters OF fire on the walls of baseball

these Launcelots of the diamond are
slowing up and soon must give way to
younger men.
Lajoie's sudden slump in baseball
mystery. Few players ever lose their
batting eyes as suddenly as has Lajoie.
He can offer no explanation. It's just
one OF these things that happen" he
says. Lajoies fielding is still brilliant,
but he cannot cover as much terri
tory as few years ago. lie has also
slowed upon the bases.
When he passes out OF baseball he
will not he required to resume his
youthful occupation Of hack driving.
He is rich. He is worth no less than
100000. He has a valuable farm and
a fine home in n Cleveland suburb.
Lajoie will be 80 in September
Hans Wagner, OF the Pirates, has
not slumped as badly in his hitting
this year as Lajoie, but he has slowed
up noticeably in all departments of the
game.
This is Wagner's eighteenth year as
a major league player He made his
debut with the Louisville club of the
old National league a year after La
joie joined the Phillies.
Wagner led the National league
eight seasons. He averaged $40, in
Guiding this season. Lajoie has aver
aged about .343 in his 10 years of ma

Both Pittsburgh and Cleveland are

star players. 1t is significant that the |
Pirates and Maps both dropped To last |

That's the edict OF Charles w. Somers

All sorts OF stories have been going

absolutely no chance of anything of the
sort coming to pass.
He believes that Birmy has been
more sinned against than SHINING. And
he intends to back him To the limit.
There's no getting away from the fact
that Birmy has had some of the tough
est breaks in luck that ever fell to the
lot of big league manager. He hasn't
been around with any alibis, the truth
always serving his interests best, and
this made a hit with owner Somers.
