To Absorb Freckles
And Other Blemishes

Every spring numerous inquiries are
made by girls seeking some reliable
recipe for removing freckles. Last
year very favorable reports were re-
ceived from many who had used mer-
colized wax during the freckling sea-
son. The wax seems to possess unu-
sual properties which completely alb
sorb the freckles, with no harmful ef-
feet. The complexion improves won
derfully, becoming as soft as a rose
petal, and as delicately tinted. Get an
ounce of mercolized wax at any drug
gist's, spread a thin layer of it over
the entire face every night for while,
washing this off in the morning. For
rough, spotty skin, sallowness, black
heads, pimples, and all cutaneous
blemishes, this treatment is superior
to any other.
Springtime also brings wrinkles to
many sensitive skins that are much
exposed to winds and changing tenn
peratures. To a half pint witch hazel
add an ounce of powdered saxolite,
which quickly dissolves. Battle the
face in this; the effect on wrinkled
skin is remarkable.-Adv.

COUNCIL BUYS
STOP WATCHES
FOR OFFICERS


Automobiles and motorcyclists will
have more to look out for than the
police automobile when they wish to
speed on the city streets.
At the meeting of the city council
last evening, an appropriation was
made for the purchase of two stop
watches for the police department and
speeders hereafter will be subject to
the keen eye of the pedestrian police.
1t will now be possible for patrolman
to stand on one corner and take the
time of an automobile as it passes
the corner and as it disappears around
another corner All that is necessary
then is to measure the distance be-
tween one corner and the next and
calculate the speed Under this sys-
tenn all the doubt will be with the
automobile driver:
With the advent of the automobile
season, the police have received
numerous complaints of speed viola
tons.
The city council also passed the APP
preparation providing $50 to cover the
expenses of Chief of Police Goodwin
at the national convention of Metro
politan police chiefs at Newark, N. ].

lowing. according to the city's brief:
And industrial depression, abnormal
rainfall, which lessened the consump-
ton. and decreased the pumpage 49,
100000 gallons.
No Adjustment Needed.
The fact that such loss or even
a deficit has occurred In any one year
as the result Of any abnormal condi.
lions does not justify a readiustment
or an increase OF rates, said Attorney
Bond. Besides, if rates are based up
on abnormal conditions of 1915, as
above set forth, 1t undoubtedly means
that this utility when operating under
average conditions. which we believe
should be the basis used in fixing
rates, it will obtain a greater revenue
than it is justly entitled to receive
and if this be true, then it necessarily
follows that the utility will be operat
ing under an adjustment and unfair
schedule of rates"
The attorney also states that the
city is now paying an exceedingly
high rate for its fire protection and q
rate in excess of that fixed for almost
any other city in the state, and that Il
is unjust to increase the rates for fire
protection as has been asked.

claimed by the company as necessary
Is $99.O6714 Attorney Bond alleges
that the company used in basing this
calculation a valuation of 100000
The earnings, the city attorney says,
are $4,000 more than the company was
heretofore entitled to receive, and that
it also charges interest on notes to the
amount of $2,S01.31, which is per
cent of $46,6S850
Pads It's Valuation.
BY this method, he says, the utility
would be earning a net income of
per cent on valuation of $40, 6SS.5 90,
which is $96,688.50 more than the value
which the commission has fixed upon
the property of the company. If it is
to receive net income of per cent
on a value of $750,000, it received
last year $8,801.31 more than it was
entitled to receive.

if this utility has been required to
borrow any money in order to pay for
extensions and betterments that the
income derived from such extensions
and betterments will be amply suffi
Client to pay such debts. and in the
meantime fully to reimburse the util
ity for all sums expended"
Among the abnormal conditions oil
last year that might cause a slight def
icit, but which ought not be used in
calculating future rates, are the fol

.Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick. beauti-
full. glossy, silky hair. do by all means
get rid of dandruff. for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night
when retiring: use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three Of
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stoy, and
your hair will look and feel hundred
times better. You can get liquir arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails
