The Secret of Keeping
 the Skin Wrinkle-Free

The great secret of keeping the face smooth, wrinkle-free and refined in texture is to use an effective astringent when the skin shows a tendency to become loose or the pores to enlarge. The best thing of the kind is simple solution made by dissolv- ing ounce of pure powdered saxolite in a half-pint of witch-hazel. Used as a wash lotion, this promptly tightens the skin which of course smooths out the lines and wrinkles and reduces too-large pores
 Large pores, by the way, encourage blackheads, being so easily clogged with dirt and erime. The lotion referred to therefore serves as a blackhead preventive It is also valuable in cases of sagging cheeks ana chin. the astringent action of course serving to draw in'' the folds and obliterate the creases. Powdered saxolite now being sold by druggists generally in this country, any woman make this lotion herself.-Adv.

The local democrats are planning for the biggest rally of their cam paign to take place at Fox's theater tomorrow at 2:30 p. m. At that time Augusuno Lonergan, candidate for U. S. senator opposing Frank B. Brande- gee, will speak on the league of na- tions. Sheriff Thomas Reilly of New { HaVen, a farmer New Britain man. VIII also be on hand to give his views on the cause of dem ocracy. The dem oc;xitic town committee have been pre- pairing for this rally for the past month, and have secured the two most popular politicians, from local standpoint, in the state Judge Will liam r. Mansan will preside.
 Congressman Lonergan of Hartford, candidate for U. S. senator, has rep resented the first congressional dist at Washington for three terms and he considers New Britain one of his strongholds. especially because of the fact that he carried New Britain at the last election against George Quig- ley, a local man. Congressman Lon- ergan's record in congress is consid- cred excellent by his friends. He is an excellent orator and a friend of the ex-sersice man. He was the author of a-cent-a-mile travelling expenses for service men cn leave, the free post age act for service men, and the right of way act for. Christmas packages to the boys away from home. There are many families here in Now Britain that remember his untiring efforts to locate a missing service man, and dur ing the most trying periods of the war he was never too busy to help the people whom he represented.
 Former Congressman Thomas L. Reilly has been touring the state for
