ing is more repulsive than to see wo-
man with her face all daubed with face
powder in her desire to hide marks of
age. Instead of using powder, which
clogs and enlarges the pores. it Is far
better to use a good face lotion that will
improve and permanently benefit the
skin. BY dissolving four ounces of spur
max in one-half pint hot water you can
make an inexpensive lotion that will do
wonders as skin whitener and COM
plexion beautifier. 1t removes all shin
mess, sallowness and roughness, and
gives the skin a smooth, velvety tone.
while it does not rub off easily like pow
der nor does it show on the skin.
MAKES HAIR FLUFFY-By washing
the hair with a teaspoonful of canthrox'
dissolved in a cup of hot water, after
ward rinsing thoroughly with clear
water, one finds that it dries quickly and
evenly is unstreaked, bright, soft and
very fluffy, so fluffy, in fact, that 1t
looks more abundant than it is and so
soft that arranging it becomes pleas

cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly
of all dandruff and dirt, and leaves a.

Aunt Sally'S Advice
to Beauty Seekers

X. c. F. asks: will you tell me how
to get my hands white and soft? They
have become rough and are so dark in
contrast to my arms" The method men,
toned in reply to Eloise should bring the
desired results; wear gloves to prevents
soiling the bed linen.
D. N. A. Writes: How can I reduce a
double chin? Also how get rid of crows
feet?" Use wash lotion prepared by
dissolving l OF. powdered saxolite in D
pit. witch hazel. This tightens the skin.
tending to disperse wrinkles as well as
flabbiness about the chin or elsewhere.
Eloise says: my freckles are worse
than ever this year. made doubly con-
spicuous by pallid complexion. Is there
any cure?" Ask for your druggist for an
ounce of mercoliZed wax, apply nightly
like cold cream, removing in the morn
ing with warm water. AS the wax grad
ually absorbs the lifeless cuticle not
only will the freckles vanish. but the
new and younger skin which appears will
have healthy color. Probably you will
need to continue treatment cuople
weeks or so.-Womans Realm.-Adv.

SUPERIOR COURT
AT WATERVILLE

Waterville. June s.-(SpeciaD.-
Court came in at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing. The traverse jury reported and
were sworn.
Robinson w. Kelley
The first case in order for trial was
No. 282. Leo ". Robinson Of New
York City VS.. Edwin Kelley Of vi
emma. Walter Sanborn, Esq, Of Au
gusta, appeared for the plaintiff and
E. E. Richards, Esq, Of Pennington
appeared for defendant.
This case was tried at the April
ia and resulted in a disagreement of
the jury.
This suit is based upon a written
contract in regard to the purchase and
sale of a farm owned by the defend
ant, and was entered into August 90,
| 1914. The plaintiff wanted farm in
Maine for the purpose of orcharding,
and had read some of the advertise
ments of the Strout Farm Agency.
| After some correspondence he came to
| Pennington with his wife, met Mr..
Jack, an agent of the Strout Agency,
and was. shown several farms. Mr..
Kelley was not at home at the time
his farm was shown to plaintiff. but
upon the plaintiff being assured. as
he claims. by Mr. Jack that MIR. Kel-
ley could show him the lines. he final
| ly signed a contract to buy the farm,
paying down 5000. Another payment
was to be made the 21st of the fol-
lowing October and he was then to
give a mortgage on the farm of s400
to complete the purchase price. The
contract contained a provision that in
| case either party failed to carry out
the contract he should forfeit the sum
| of 5000 to the other party. Mr.. Rob-
inson returned home. and later tried
to get description of the farm. Not
getting what he wanted he came to
| Augusta. short time before the con-
tract was to be consummated. looked
over the records. but failed to be sat
| isfied with what he found He then
went to Pennington the day the con-
tract was to be consummated He
met Mr.. Kelley and the agent of the
| Strout Co.. Mr.. Jack. The contract
was not completed, Mr.. Robinson
claiming that the deed offered him
was not a proper deed. He asked the
parties to refund the deposit he had
| made. Not getting his money back
he brought this suit to recover his
money, and also 5000 that the contract
called for if either party failed to
complete the contract.
The contention of the defence is
that the deed offered was a good one.
and that as the plaintiff did not ac-
| cept it and make his payments, he is
not entitled to the return Of his 5000.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS Eminent SPECIALIST.

So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion, wind and stomach-ache are in
probably nine cases out of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking
place in the food contents of the stom-
ach, causing the formation of gas and
acids Wind dstends the stomach, and
causes that full, oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and inflames the deli
cate lining of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the fermenting food.
Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid
formation is not only unnatural. but
may involve most serious consequences
if not corrected. To stop or prevent fer
mentation of the food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the acid, and
render it bland and harmless, a tea
spoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably
the best and most effective corrector OF
acid stomach known, should be taken in
a quarter of glass of hot or cold water
Immediately after eating, or whenever
wind or acidity is felt. This stops the
fermentation, and neutraliZes the acidity
in few moments. Fermentation, wind
and acidity are dangerous and unneces-
sary. Stop or prevent them by the use
of a proper antacid, such as bisurated
magnesia which can be obtained from
John Coughlin or any druggist and thus
enable the stomach to do it's work prop
erly without being hindered by poisonous
gas and dangerous acids.--M. F. P.-Adv.
