kBGbHEAA AO8A to a coat of tan Is that once acquired the original whiteness of the skin sell dom returns. And if patch of tan ends somewhere around the neck where the original whiteness of the skin begins the effect is far from beautiful.
 Bathing in pure lemon juice will help to remove tan. First wash the skin thoroughly with warm water and castillo soap. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or towel, then apply the lemon juice with bit of absorbent cotton. A solution of peroxide used in the same way will also aid.
 A simple solution for preventing sunburn Is to mix five drops of gly- cerine with one ounce of water, adding any perfume desired. Dab on the face with soft cloth and leave on for about five minutes. Then wipe off very gently.
 If you rub cold cream into your face before going out into the sun be sure to remove it very carefully. If grease of any kipd is left on the face even in small quantities and the face is exposed to heat the burning will be very severe and sometimes will result in blisters Rub the face with

BREAD IN SUMMER.

Keep the bread in, the ice box-is the recommendation of the food ad- ministration.
 With the arrival of summer heat the question of keeping the bread in its best possible state arises. It is of special interest this year because of the use of the substitute cereals and the necessity of preventing any possi- ble waste through bread drying out, or through it's spelling in moist warm air.
 Wrap the loaf or any unused DOT ton in the waxed paper it reached you in or in any other clean waxed paper and place it in your ice box. This is the best place to keep it in hot weather and it will remain in fine fresh condition longer than when kept in the warm air. Careful wrap ping will prevent it's coming in con- tact with moisture or absorbing odors from other foods in the box.
 The Zee box is the place for your bread in the summer time.

TWO RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY WOMAN
 SUFFRAGE ASSN
"A. G. Porritt.)

Two resolutions were passed at the suffrage meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles Boughtop Wood in Simsbury Friday afternoon. One of these reso- lutions was addressed to the Presi- dent, and was intended both to sup port him in his present stand in favor of the Federal Suffrage Amendment and also to urge him to greater activ- ity on it's behalf. The other was ad- dressed to Senator Myers of Montana, who is paired with Senator Mclean, and thus prevented from casting a vote for the Amendment. The first resolution read as follows:-Resolved that we citizens of Connecticut as- sembled in meeting at Simsbury, do petition the President to use his un- doubted power on behalf of the wom- en, as he has already used it on be- half of many measures, to bring about the passage by the Senate of the Federal Suffrage Amendment, and thus to give reality to the magnificent democratic sentiments he has ex- pressed as spokesman of America and to uphold the great principle of demo- cracy as a leader among civilized na- tions.'
 The resolution addressed to Senator Myers was as follows: Resolved that we, deploring our lack of any man from Connecticut in the United States Senate who will represent the pro
 gressive sentiment of the state and the new and powerful sentiment for democracy, do petition Senator Myers of Montana, whom we know to be our friend, to do what he can to prevent our continued misrepresentation by
 breaking his pair with Senator Mo Lean, and casting his vote for the Federal Suffrage Amendment"
 Much attention was devoted by the speakers at the meeting to both Sen ator Brandegee and Senator Mclean. Their position of opposition to the president and to the leaders of their own party on the woman suffrage question was severely scored. It seemed the general opinion that the only thing that could be done with Senator Brandegee was to put him where he could do no further harm. But much amusement was aroused by the prophecy of Rev. Hugh Mccall lum that Senator Mclean might very speedily make his appearance and announce his conversion.

Machines Make Socks.

To keep pace with the demand for
wooden socks for sailors and soldiers the
comfort committee of the Navy League
Mt Washington has placed AN initial
order for ten sock-knitting machines.
which will be installed in the head
quarters in that city. These machines
will turn out in an hour pair Of knitted
socks which require the most expert
worker two days to make by hand.
The committee has found it impossible
to supply all of the requests for socks
and has decided therefore to supple
meDt with machines the work of the
thousands Of women now engaged in
knitting socks.
