REPRESENTATIVES
 BEAUTIFUL cOMPlExlONS-

There is no nation in which the women live as sanely as do the Eng fish and there is no nation in which the skins are as fair and clear Under perfect, natural conditions a well balanced life would guarantee beau tifui and healthy skin. But the ordin- ary social and economic American life of today forces the system to fur nish so much vital force for action that nerves, eyes and complexions all suffer. In addition to this strain many women further abuse their skin by covering it with pore-cloggine powder instead Of doing the wise thing that is, using a lotion which protects and smooths, without choking the pores.
 The reason complexions suffer so much in summer is because powder does not offer sufficient protection against the hot sun A plain spurmax lotion not only safeguards the skin from the elements, but in itself is a beautifier of great worth To prepare this lotion at home, dissolve ounces spurmax from druggists in F pint hot water Cor witch hazeD and add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. This applied to the skin becomes invisible and im- parts a velvety softness and dainty tint to a rough, faded skin, relieving that shiny. oily appearance. and its use will insure a clear, lovely com plexion.

MET ADoLPH coLBERe
 AT CHICAGO CONVENTION
Chief Stanton. Greeted by Former
 Norwich Boy.

While Chief Howard l.. Stanton was in Chicago last week attending the convention of the National Fire Pro- tection association. he was surprised to have a young man step up to him in the convention and ask if this were not Chief Stanton of Norwich. Then the stranger Introduced himself as Adoiph Colberg, formerly of this city, but now located at South Bend, Ind, where he is in charge of the insur- ance department of the Stakeholder
 MT. Colberg formerly lived on the East Side and is the son of Capt. Mar tin Colberg. He left here and went to Mexico, where he was connected with the copper mining business and later made his present business con- nection.
 On the middle day of the convention occurred one of the especially val uable parts of the three day session in a visit to the Underwriters lab oratories. where a new and enlarged testing station had been built. One of the marvellous tests conducted was with wire glass, where windows made of the glass were heated to a temper ature of some thousand degrees. then streams of water played against them They stood up perfectly under the test Another test was conducted with an automobile which was set on fire and then extinguished with a new kind of chemical. A third test was for put ting out gasoline fires. Gasoline was set on fire on top of big tank of wa ter and then extinguished with a prep aration which is shot out on the wa ter, forming sort of foam that puts out the fire.
 The Underwriters laboratories re- ported that they issued about forty million labels last year for articles which they sanction, which is about ten million more than the year before.

Story May Succeed Eaan.

A Southington man, Thomas F. Egan, chief of the state police. is slated as the republican candidate for the of flee of sheriff of Hartford county.
 It is said that Sheriff Edward w. Dewey will not be candidate for re- nomination, and therefore it is unlike ly that Mir Egan will meet with any serious opposition in the convention.
 The sheriff receives a salary of S5,0O0 a year and home. The salary of the superintendent of the state police is s3,00O a year and expenses.
 It is not unlikely that if MT. Egan Becomes sheriff he will be succeeded by Arthur l.. Story of Norwich, now assistant superintendent of the state

Aunt Sally's Advice
 To Beauty Seekers

Lydia says: i've tried most every thing for my freckles, but can't lose them. What do you suggest?" See answer to Stella" The treatment sug- gested I've never known to fail in any case of freckles or other cutaneous blemish.
 F. J. K. asks:.Is there anything bet ter than massage to remove wrinkles?'' Too much massaging may aggravate a wrinkled condition, tending to soften the face in an astringent lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered ga xo1ite in half pint witch hazel. This is remarkably effective.
 Stella writes: My complexion is hor- riNbly muddy. What shall do for it?'' your druggists. Apply this nightly like you'd use cold cream. washing it off mornings. This will cause the of fensive cuticIe gradually to make way, by process of gentle absorption, for the clear. velvety. healthy-hued skin erneath.-Woman's Realm.

May Business-Session of c. E. So- eiety-Address by Secretary E. w. Hili-Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Win chester in New Home.

The May business meeting of the Christian Endeavor society was held Sunday evening at the First Congre- gatfonal church, the president, H. T. Frazier. presiding. The reports of the different committees showed much work done. The good literature com mittee keeps two tables, one in the church and one in the chapel, well supplied with reading matter. and asks for copies of the Youths rCompanion and other periodicals.
 Other committees reported money on hand for the headquarters building to be erected for the United society. The lot has been purchased next the will cost S150.000 and it is hoped that when build it will be self H-supporting. Connecticut's share is 5000, that of the Norwich union S150. and the local society is trying to raise its propor- ton.
 After the business meeting there was an address by Y. M. c. A. Sec retary D. w. Hill, upon Hints for Better Living. He began with The Gospel of Healing. He was wounded for our transgressions. By His stripes we are healed. There is only One Who can heal the broken life. that is Christ. As we meet one in the prodi- gal country let us give him that mes sage. Come out from among them and be ye separate. Live a life so dis tinct and different that there will be an example set. Pure food However much we may try to grow we shall fail unless we often read and study and take into our souls the Word of God. For ye are not your own. Why should we be Christians? We forget that we are bought with a price. We fail to accept the redemption pur- chased on Calvary's slope. My hands and feet and tongue should be used for Hom Who trod the path from glory to Calvary. We should use our eyes for Him. We shouldn't read the trashy stuff that is so common everywhere The blood of Christ will cleanse the heart of the vilest sinner Let us tell the glad story of Christ's healing power and the price He paid.
