SOLDIERS BALLOTS WILL
 BE FEW IN NUMBER
Will Have But Little Effect on the
 Presidential Election.

Will the votes of the members of Battery B of Branford, and Battery P. of Stamford, of the field artillery of the Connecticut National Guard affect the result of the coming state and national election in Connecticut?
 Hardly. with only 270 men in the commands. and not all of these reg istered voters, but Colonel William C. Cheney, of Manchester, and Colonel Christopher I. Avery of Groton, com- missioners appointed by Gov. Hol- comb to take the vote of the men at the border, are on their way south just the same.
 There were 2.000 votes there a, few days ago. it will be remembered. When Chairman J. Henry Rorabacl5 of the republican state central committee had a conference with Governor HoI- comb few months ago on the desir- ability of having the vote of the Con- necttcut soldiers on the Mexican bor- der taken, he was not unmindful of the needs of the republican party. He evidently believed most of the Connec- ticut boys wearing the khaki had re- publican sympathies and, taking a survey of the political situation in this state, he decided his party needed their sympathy in the most practical way. This primary regard for the interests of his party, which Chairman Rora- back showed, was perfectly consistent with the broader view that the sol diers of the state should not suffer the penalty of disfranchisement.
 When Governor Holcomb decided to call a special session of the general assembly for the purpose of making provision to take the vote of the sol diers, it was thought that about 2,000 votes would be boiled on the border. That was the opinion of the governor, and it was shared by others, including MT. Roraback. But at that time all the Connecticut troops were away and there was nothing to indicate they would be home in time to vote. Their vote had an importance which cannot

BRIDGE ARRIVES

Some Of the steel for the new rail-
road bridge at Fairfield is arriving
new and it is expected in railroad cir"
cles about here that crews will arrive
almost any day for the commencement
of actual construction. The houses
which have to be moved to make way
for the bridge are now all either out
Of the way or are being rapidly moved
so that they will not delay the work.
While in a way the building of the
bridge will make very little difference
to Waterville everyone in the city is
anxious to see the work done and it is
hoped that there Will be no delay In
the starting so that it may be finished
this summer. The expenditure of the
large amount Of money which will be
necessary to get the bridge built will
come at a time when the merchants in
this vicinity need the extra trade and
will be greatly appreciated. The
changes that are being made in the
Waterville yard are fast approaching
completion nd the large crew which
has been at work on them will be re-
leased to other work.

How You May Change
Your Face Completely

Any woman not satisfied with her COM
plexion can easily remove it and have
new one. The thin veil of sitting half
dead cuticle is an encumbrance and
should be removed to give the fresh, Wig
orous. young skin underneath chance to
show itself and to breathe. There's a
simple, old-fashioned remedy which will
always do the work. Get an ounce of
pure mercolized wax from your druggist
and apply it at night like cold cream
washing 1T off in the morning. The wax
will gently absorb all the lifeess skin
and leave healthy and beautiful COM
plexion, as fresh as a child's. Naturally
It takes with it all such facial blemishes
as freckles, moth patches sallowness
liver spots, pimples. 1t is pleasant to use,
and economical. The face so treated soon
looks years younger.
To keep the skin free from wrinkles
there's nothing quite so good as the old
reliable saxolite lotion. 1t Is only neces-
sary to dissolve an ounce of powdered
saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel and
battle the face in this as reuuireo.-Adv

The story that the Maine Central is

above the upper Maine Central cross
ing on College avenue has sprung up
again and although the officials them
selves will say nothing about it, there
seems to be good reason to believe that
they are contemplating some such
move While such a move would not be
very we'll liked by the people of the

everybody that some change has got
to be made and that a new freight
house will be built somewhere.
