Battle your face for several minutes
working the creamy lather into the
skin gently with the finger-tips. Then
wash off with more Resinol Soap and
warm water, finishing with dash of
clear cold water to close the pores.

soothes and cleanses the pores, re-
moves pimples and blackheads, and
leaves the complexion clear, fresh and

give a larger amount Of humus than

A large number Of varieties are be.
ing offered by different nurserymen
in the state. 1t is important to select
either the earliest varieties or those
that ripen late or very late. The mid.
season budded varieties must compete
with the large mass Of seedlings, and
for that reason the fruit usually sells
low. Baldwin and Early are among
the good early varieties. Trap is
good for late and the various Guate.
malan varieties for very late. The
earliest fruits in Florida ripen about
the first week in July. Then follows
a succession until late in October or
November when the Trap begin TO
mature. Guatemalan varieties ripen
during January and the early spring
months.

LAW OF GEOR-

Atlanta, Ga, May 1-Georgia's new
prohibition law, one Of the most Strin

Virtually all the clubs had purcha :

the proviso that any left over could

into effect.
Many difficulties are placed in the
way of the person who wishes to have
shipped the small amount allowed by
the law. Transportation companies
are held responsible for the consignee
signing a receipt, attested by notary
public, and the delivery Of the receipt
to county ordinarles. Attorney Gener-
al Walker decided that the transpor-
tatiOn companies could not charge the
usual notary fee for Witnessing such
receipts, and that every agent Of the
companies could act as notaries to
the extent OF witnessing liquor ship
ment receipts.

The range Of soil that may be en-

is much wider than for citrus culture.
The avocado, however, takes very
kidly to the best soils that can be
obtained. The best citrus soils will be
found to be among the best for avo-
cado. After the site has been chosen,
clearing should be done in the usual
way. All debris should be removed
from the field and the soil well pre-

The trees may be set in rows q

For the more vigorous varieties il
would be advisable TO give greater
