COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM.
Continued from Page ~

The theme was developed to-, show
that false or msdirected ambition,
slothfulness, the mechanical use of
one s powers. and encouragement were
the four evils that must be fought
against constantly and resolutely. Rev.
| Mr.. Osgood then addressed the class in
| these words:
Members of the graduating class of
the Brattleboro high school:
| As / have strlven to develop, and
make emphatic, the lesson which this
evening hour has brought with it, |
have had you and your future con-
stant1y in mind.
| You all possess gifts that need to be
used faithfully, and for some high pur
| pose, as YOU are confronted with the
| more subtle problems of life, and take
your stand more definitely among the
workers of the world. Talents have
been intrnsted to your keeping that
must not be allowed to rust, or, be de-
| spised, because of their seemingly little
value.
! Neglect not these gifts, therefore,
| whether yours from birth or slowly and
i perhaps painfully acquired through pa
tient study and faithful experience,
amid familiar scenes, while safeguard
cd by school and home.
1 These are strenuous times in which
we live and demand much of the youth
Of the land. As you leave yonr school
days behind you-whether for college,
, or advanced technical training; wheth-
en- to be enrolled among the laborers on
the soil or among those engaged in
business pursuts-whatever your cho-
! sen calling may be, remember that it is
not for yourselves alone that you must
take thought, nor even for the dear
ones that make up the home circle, or
. the little community in which you
: chance to live. Nay! 1t is your coun-
try that must be, above all, borne in
J mind; and how best your efforts may be
6 directed toward so perfecting the talents
you call your own, that this country of
g which we are all SO proud may be aid
: cd by the service you render and be
, glad to enroll you in the vast multitude
Of her sons and daughters that are
: working and sacrificing in her behalf

cessfully apply steam propulsion to
boats, and even though England shot

To Have Perfect Skin
Throughout the Winter

These days the face and hands need
special care and attention. Strong
winds, quick changes of temperature
from indoors to outdoors, are severe
on the skin. Their despoiling effects
are best overcome by the. application
of pure mercolized wax. This keeps
skin and pores in a cleanfy condition,
the complexion beautifully white and
spotless. Chapped. redeemed, blotchy
and roughened cuticle are actually
absorbed by it. One ounce of mer-
coiized wax, obtainable at any drug
store, is sufficient to completely reno
vate a weatherbeaten complexion. 1t
is used like cold cream, allowed to res
main on over night, and washed of
in the morning.
AS the skin tends to expand In a
warm atmosphere. cheeks and chin to
sag and wrinkles to form, good as
tringent lotion should be used by the
woman who keeps pretty much in
doors these days. Dissolve one ounce
powdered saxolite In one-half pint
witch hazel. Battle the face in this
mornings or before going out for the
ater or social affair. 1t is a remark
