JANUARY SESSION
OF COURT TO END
IN PRESENT week

Judge William NJ. Maltbie will con-
clude his duties with the Superior
Court here with the closing of court
business Wednesday, and the Janu-
airy session of the Superior Court will
come to a close. Judge John P. KEEL
logg of Waterbury, who recently pre-
sided over a criminal session here, will
open the April session of the court
next Tuesday He will preside over
a short calendar session of court for
hearing Of motions and assignment of
cases, Thursday, at 10 o'clock. The
question of calling a jury for the April
session will be taken up at that time.
Later there will be a special ses-
sion of the Superior Court for hear
ing of civil cases, over which Judge
Donald T. Warner will preside.
Today Judge Maltbie resumed hear
ing of testimony in the suit of the H
J. Lewis Oyster Co., against Lucy T.
West and others, hearing in dam
ages. Under an agreement made in
1888 the Oyster Co. claimed the right
to purchase dock property owned by
the West interests, at a fixed price,
plus all improvements made. In a
trial before Judge H. J. Curtis this
right was confirmed, and the question
before Judge Maltbie is to determine
how much the plaintiffs are damaged.

Lemons Beautify!
Make Quarter Pint
of Lotion, Cheap

Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, whiteness
and beauty.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such bIemishes
as freckles, sallownass and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. and see for yourseh.-Adv.

DESERVES COLD
medal FOR this
Cincinnati authority tells
how to dry up a corn so
it lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and
women need suffer no longer. Wear
the shoes that nearly killed you be-
fore, says this Cincinnati authority,
because a few drops of freezone ap-
piled directly on a tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn loosens so it can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as 1t is inexpensive and is said
not to inflame or even irritate the sur
raaundfng tissue or slin--AdE.

Munitions Workers
Are Urged to Buy

The local committee is in receipt
of a letter from the National War
Savings committee asking details
about the distribution and sale of
stamps in the factories whose entire
output consists of government work.
The National committee has it in
mind that the patriotic feeling which
led the proprietors of these factories
to devote their entire energy to the
production of munitions of war must
necessarily find its echo among the
factory operatives which will be evil
denced in an insistent demand for War
Savings and Thrift stamps. The War
Savings committee in response to this
is preparing to make report upon
such factories

British contact with the French, the
Germans were held up nearly every

the British artillery fire.
Masses of enemy troops which,
coming forward in waves, again and
again attempted to reach their OBJ

the Old Guard at Waterloo. In only
