To Make Skin Clear

Don't worry about skin troubles. You
can have clear, clean complexion by
using little zemo, obtained at any drug
store for 25c, or extra large bottle at
$1.00.
Zeno easily removes all traces of PIN
pies, black heads, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is neither watery, sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs mere trifle for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
Zemo. Cleveland.

FRANK CLEkVELAND'S GRANDs ON
Kills Himself by Poison and Shooting,
 Through DespondencY.

Clifford Lester Cieaveland Porter, aged Is, a grandson of the late Frank F. Clcaveland, the blind lawyer, who ouce lived in Canaan with his mother, Mrs. p. A. RikeT, at the old Stevens House. committed suicide in an apartment ho i'll New York. Thursday, by talk. ing poison and shooting himself twice -once in the brain and again in the heart. He drank two different kinds of poison, aconite and ge!semium and fired ont shot into his brain and another into his heart.
 The New York police explain this unusual circumstance by saying he shot himself first through the left temple and then, as his hand, grasping an au. tomatic pistol. fell past his chest, his death convulsiou caused him topull the trigger q second time.
 The janitor of the building where ynuug Porter lived. bS3 Riverside Drive. heard the two shots. and broke into the young mans bedroom, and found hlm. clad in pajamas, lying dead upon the bed
 In addition to note to his mother and another to his employers, the George H. Doran Publishing Company of New York, Porter left $50 in bills and d check on his bank, made out to his mother. who was not at home when he killed himself. She was hysterical when. on her return from work, she learned of the tragedy. She declined to plake known the contents of the note which had been left for her. In the one addressed to the publishing house, Porter said he was worn out and dis. couraged over his drudgery. His act is attributed to despondency over his failure to win success us a magazine writer.
 Mrs. Riker, his great.grandmother was in the apartments at the time, but being over 80 years old and of impaired hearing, she failed to hear the reports of the revolver.
 The young man had lived in Hart ford, with his mother, the widow of Dr. Clifford W. Porter, until about two years ago when he went to New York hoping to achieve success writing for magazines, but became discouraged with that and took up the writing of synopses of the new novels with the Doran Publishing Company.
 The body of the young man was brought to Falls Village. Monday and inferred in the family plot of his mother. the Halstead plot, in Grassy Hill Cemetery.

MORE AUTO THIEVES
Clever Game of Deception Played by
 Crooks in New Milford.

Monday evening Deputy Sheriff Ike Hornbeck, of Falls Village who had been notified from New Milford to be on the lookout for a couple of young men wanted tEere for stealing Packard automobile, received word from Mrs. George Judd that two young men had just arrived at her house. whose general iemeanor cUnviLceI hef that they were nog what they shonld be, and ill the in. terest of justice she deemed it her duty to notify the officer.
 The sheriff went to the house and in- terviewed the men. They told ap. parently straight but contradictory stories to account for their whereabouts at the time the automobile was stolen, nut finally their stories became so toL- dieting that the officer decided that they were the men wanted and accord. ingly took them into custody and uoti- lied the New M!liort autl critics, .whu came up in an auto mobile and took them to New Milford.
 According to the story, the ring lead 1T, who gave the name of Mcdonald, but who is supposed to be George Walden, had telephune,i late Saturday night to the keeper of New Milford garage that he was the chauffeur of the machine, which was owned by New York gentleman who kept it at the garage while in town. The garage nan, who was at his house, taking the man wuId for it, told him to go to he garage and get the machine, at the ,ame time informing him where he could find the key, as tie place was locked. The bogus "Mc Donald, which is the name of the real chauffeur whom the thief iinpersonated, got the auto, and, accompanied hy two otAer young men, naLied Richardson and Root, started away. At Boardman's 3ridge, Richardson alighted and the other two went on without him.
 They proceeded to New Preston, where subsequently, the machine was found abandoned, beside tine road, where it had evidently left the roadway and smashed into a stonewall. as tht front end ot the car was completely de. molished and the car pat out of busi. ness
 From New Preston if was impossible ro trace the fugitives but the warning notices sent out rom New Milford gay, Sheriff Hornbeck the clue which, ,s.hrough the helpful sagacity of Mrs. Judd, enabled the officer to shorten their careers.

Big Auto Truck pitched.

The Dover Plains firemen, an auto truck load of them, on their return trip from the Canaan tournament. Monday evening, met with mishap at Smith Hill, that added to the thrills of the day. Half way up the hill the chauf. feur attempted to change lis gear, but the clutch failed to hold and the big car started to run backward. The brake was applied, but that also proved ineffective. and the car gained in momentum. Several of the men jump ed up i'll alarm, which prevented the driver to see the roadway behind him, and the car left the roadway and backed down the bank and brought up against a heavy pole. In the meantime two men hal jumped blindly to the ground, one of them receiving severe sprain in the leg and the other being badly bruised and scratched, but fortunately no serious damage was done.

THAT SIREN ALARM

Gives Early Morning Recital and
 Proves Decidedly Effective.
 The Glorious Fifth was ushered in at an unearthly hour by an unearthly scream that rang out over the town anC far beyond its borders, and started the sleepers from their beds with all un. canny horror that chilled the marrow in their bones and r ade the blood run cold. It was a long sustained and un dulatng shriek, that started i'll a low moan, like a man in the agonies oi green-apple collie, anl rose in steady pitch, climbing the whole ganlut 0 sound like squirrel shinning up wal. nut tree, till it reat he'd piercing tone that tickled the ear-drums and seut the chills skittering down the backbone then it seemed to modulate and fall, only to climb up again, with d cry tnat sounded like the vail of a lost soul in the regions of the damned.
 It was the new siren fire alarm, which had been temporarily installed i'll the gable-end ol the Ives 6 Peirc' tted mill, and that early morning re- ;ital was it's first l. st. Apparently ii 0loved success, for it awakened sleep e,s who would not ave even rolled ovoI if freight train had travelled throagl. their sleeping quarters.
 The slren IS what is called the quad ruplex design, giving four times the volume of sound of the former sample machine, and is elt critically operated. It is made iu Deu, CT, Colorado, anO costs about $4O0. installed on its per manenC tower.
 Although no definite decision has yet been arrived at, the probability is that the Canaan Hose Company will pur- chase it. If so, it will be stationed oI tower at some central spot i'll the VII lage-probably on the roof of the Full Ter block-and will be operated from the central telephone office and from q public station, or box to be fixed to au electric light pole near the corner of Main and Railroad streets.

Hatters Settling Up.

Assessments of one per cent. on the salaries of all union matters in Nor walk, Danbury and other places were made for the first time on Saturday of last week for the purpose of relieving those matters affected by the Loewe judgment. It will be remembered that the United Hatters of North America at the recent convention voted to assess each member to the extent of one per cent. of the salary earned and that such assessments begin on the first pay day in July, namely Jdly 3. No def mite time has been set for the assess. ments to continue.
 Incidentally, Judge William F. Tammany, of Norwalk, will get busy during the next few days and procure about $2,000 from the Norwalk Savings society and the South Norwalk Savings bank, this being the amount due on those accounts where judgment was not secured and in those cases where the matters passed away during the progress of the suit of D. E. Loewe 6 Go. vs. Martin Lawler ct als.
 It is estimated that about $9,000 per week will be raised from the assessment which went into effect on Saturday. The judgment was for $252, ,000.

Success of a Hospital.

What was at first n doubtful experi- ment is now demonstrated success in Great Harrington. We refer to the Fairview hospital, Mrs. Mason pro- vided for its establishment and it is a pity that she could not have lived to know the good it is accomplishing in the world. Maybe she does know !! The limitations of the present buildings were long since exceeded, and every available inch of space outside the quarters provided for patients is in use Dr. Ayres P. Merrill has a fine X-ray department there. Dr. I. s. F. Dodd goes down for major operations. Dr. R. Fl. Blanchard does eye, nose and ear work there and other physicians devote their talents to the cause of humanity in that part of the county. The in- stitution, we'll administered, every day justifes its existence. It is conducted on broad lines, efficiently and con- mands the best surgical and medical skill. Great Harrington and its ad. jacent towns are fortunate indeed in this institution n.-Pittsfeid Eagle.
