 The state board of health will start immediately to aid the shellfish com mission, the oyster growers of Con necticut, and the federal bureau of fisheries in freeing the waters of the state from sewage pollution. Methods of procedure are yet to be determined. As a result of a meeting this week, it seems fairly certain that at present everyone will be content with purifying the oysters between time they are lifted from the open waters and the time they are put on the mar ket. Later some general plan for open sewer will be tackled once and for a1ls
 At special conference between many bodies interested in \ the shellfish in : dustry, details were given of the work now being done to purity oysters. Concerning that meeting the shellfish commission Wednesday gave out the statement:
 The feeling is unanimous that the sewage proposition must be taken care of at once and that an end must be put to the practice of dumping sew age into the rivers and harbors. to the danger of the public health"
 Those who attended the meeting pr. ]. T. Black, J. Frederick Jackson, and E. K. Root of the state board of health; Dr. Hugh S Cummings. pr. Parsons and Dr. ". F. Wells of the federal hygienic laooratery and bu- reau of fisheries; and G. Clifford Foote, president of the State Oyster Growers association.

APPROPRIATIONS
| Commission Doubts if They Are Large l Enough to Provide Additions.

Because of the increa sed cost of building materials, the state tuber- culosis commission doubts whether the appropriations made by the general assembly for the building of additions to the Norwich and Shelton institu- = tions are large enough to pay for the amount of work to be done to the in stitutiops. Mighty three thousand dollars was set aside for the building of additions to these two institutions, S55, 900 for the completion of the new infirmary at the Shelton sanatorium, sS.O00 for the construction of isola- ton rooms at the Norwich sanator- ium and $20,ooe for additional mfr mary accommodations at the Norwich sanatoriun. The commission plans ii build extensions to the two institu- tions so far as the money appropriated will allow.
 These additions will care for ap- proximately 100 patients, but the work cannot be started until after October l. At the present time there are 12e bed patients waiting to get into the four state sanatoria, the longest wait ing list in the history of the commis- sion. The list includes 99 men. 20 women and three children: The four sanatoria can take care of 45e patients, including about 2as bed patients These are divided as follows: Hart ford. 15S patients, including 72 bed patients: Meriden. 120 patients. in cluding 72 bed patients: Norwich, 77 p1LicHeS, fc bcO S, and Shelton, 104 patients, including 36 bed patients.
 When the additions to the Shelton and Norwich sanatoriums. the com- mission expects to be able to take care Of all bed patients, the sanatoriums at Hartford and Meriden being large enough to care for all patients in those districts. These additions however, will not be completed for over a year. even though the appropriations made ny the general assembly are sufficient lv large to pay for the work to be done

LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this letien for very little D cost and Iust.~ses
 for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses. the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake we'll and you have whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar Of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle. then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smooth en and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.
