as it is next to impossible to get the
road built so it will be smooth If
travel keeps punching up the road
just as it is ready to be tarred.
When that section is completed we
will finish from the crusher on the
Gardiner end Of the work Down to :,
road turning off to the right and
leading across the Causeway, so
called. In fact. this last piece may
be finished while the work at Rich
mond Corner is in progress. This
will then allow travel to have the
new road all the way 20 this ROAD
leading to the Causeway and from
Richmond Corner down to Bowdoin-
ham.
''In order to get around the work
we have laid out a detour which
crosses the Causeway. runs down
the Mallett road. west Of the pond,
and at the present time continues
down the Mallett Road nearly to
Bowdoinham Village. AS soon as
the road is finished from the Bow
doinham line to Richmond Corner,
the detour will be brought intos the
Corner. The contractor has al
ready had force of men on this de-
tour work for several days: in fact,
they started about a week ago, put
ting it in good fair condition for
travel to use. We purpose to see
that it is smoothed up and gravel
put on where necessary to make it
good, and we hope in this way TO
pass traffic quite comfortably over
the detour. That will enable us to
complete the section in from the
Causoway road to Richmond Corner
road without any interruption or in
reference frorl traffic With the ac-
tn"l construction work. The cetour
has been signed all the way around.
"On the Bowdoinham end il will be
necessary to detour from Bowdoin-
ham village round the Shore road to
Topsham. Work is progressing weil
on that end of the road. The COM
missioners went over the work a
week ago. but we should think that
1t would be nearly two months before
the surface will be completed be-

Highway Work Plans

The following statement in rela-
ton to road construction was issued
Tuesday by the State Highway
Commission:
Our general plan for completing
the road work between Bowdoinham
and Gardiner is as follows: To first
complete the section or new road
from the Bowdoinham line TO Ricn-
mond Corner. This Is all sub
graded and the foundation work is
Completed. Probably ny now we
have begun to lay surface, although
we have not the report before us.
We are placing June Is as the time
when we will have this section Of
road finished so that travel can use
it. If we should have good weather
we might get it done before that.
1t is far from desirable. from the
road builders point Of view. to have
travel going over this bituminous
construction when it is under way.

Recommendations and suggestions
A faucet and running water in the

care of the stock. farm tools and
barns. The tuberculosis State pauper
should be removed to an almshouse
which can provide better hospital
care for him, as he is here a menace
to the officers and inmates.
Two children have been inmates Of
this almshouse for more than 60
days in violation Of the law, and
should be removed at once.
The house should be shingled. this
is contemplated. The instalment Of
the separator in the mems smoking
room is not ideal. A milk room is
needed.
Query: It is question whether
the town did not make a mistake in
buying this for an almshouse. for
the dwelling is small. and all the
supplies have to be hauled a great
distance The farm is four miles
from the trolley line. AS the county
almshouse bill failed 10 pass the
Legislature of 1919. it behooves the
town to consider whether this site is
the best and most convenient pro-
vision it can make to care for the
town poor who need permanent care.

Juice of Lemons!
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost OF a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softencr and complexion beautitier,
by squeezing the juice OF two fresh lem
ons into bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon Juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
sallowness, freckles and tan and is the
ideal skin softener, smoothener and
beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
/ the face, neck, arms and hands. q 1t
naturally should help to soften, freshen,

Atlanta, Ca, March 25.-Mrs.
George c. Aiken and L, S. Massey
who shot Mrs. Aiken because of his
supposed jealousy and then shot
himself, are both at Grady Hospital
with wounds in their heads that will
probably result in blindness for both
should they recover. At present the
indications are that Mrs. Aiken will
get well but that Masseys chances
for recovery are light. She was shot
through the left eye. the bullet tear

shot himself through the temple.
Both eyes arg now blinded with blood
clots, With ~5a probability that they
will remaIIso.
In her statement yesterday MRS.
Aiken declared that after Massey had
already shot her twice and had shot
himself he tried to raise himself from
the ground in order to shoot hef
again. She said also that just before
he shot her Massey said:

while BAT have declared themselves
favorable to the league, In instances
where figures are not stated, the cor.

per cent. of the papers favor the lea

MIDDLE WEST-While the papers
in this section favor the league idea,
there is considerable 0utspoken OPP
position to the draft of the covenant

which there has been aconstantly in

act directly upon the liver, but can
not possibly cause gripping or nausea.
This is because the calomel they con-
