Until you try it you form no idea of the marvellous change 1t VIII make in just one application. The prescription, which you can prepare at your own home, is as follows:

Before applying Derwillo, cleanse the skin thoroughly with a good cleansing cream.

PEACH CROP LOOKS GOOD
 AT THE PRESENT STAGE

It looks like a good time ahead for the lover of peaches. There is a good crop in prospect. sugar is cheap and the price of peaches is expected to be mod crate. Stancliff Hale, owner of the Hale orchards in Glastonbury, said the first local peaches would be ready for market in about a month or at least by August l. He said the crop was about 75 per cent. normal, and if the dry weather did not continue much longer the quality would be very good as the trees were not heavily loaded which would mean a large-szed peach.
 When we say 75 per cent. crop we mean, of course, on the basis of ap av- craze crop from the number of trees now bearing. Remember that the number of peach trees in Connecticut at present is only about half of their number in 1917F' he said. Because of the early spring the peach crop would be earlier than usual, and in view of the total failure last year a brisk demand was expected as all peach cans are empty.
 "As for price, we peach producers are best satisfied if the price is moder- ate when there is good crop because that will mean fast movement and it saves us much in wastage. The price will depend also upon the publics ability to pay in view of the financial conditions generally. Just now our chief worry is the drouth as peaches contain lots of juice and must get 1t somewhere"
 Leonard H. Healy, secretary of the board of agriculture said Thursday that reports from various parts of the state indicated a 75 per cent normal peach l crop. Various kinds of weather in tho spring had shinned out the blossoms somewhat and the result had been a dis tribution of peaches that is favorable fol good Size.
 In the south the peach crop is good below Delaware and Pennsylvania bu the high freight rates make shipping somewhat of handicap. The Georgia peach crop has been estimated at 4,65e,' 900 bushels, compared with 3,799,O00 las year. The bureau of estimates says tha shipments will amount to about S,5O( cars about 500 cars more than last year

 Essay on Boy Scouts.
 The following essay on The Boy Scouts was delivered by Scout Irving A. Kelley, Troop l, at the Poquetanuck grammar school graduation exercises:
 The Boy Scout movement is similar te that of the English Boy Scouts which organized in 1907 under the leadership of Lieutenant General Sir Robert S. $. Baden-PowelI. Since this time troop or ganizations have sprung up all over the country. On February 8, 1910, the Boy Scout Headquarters of this country was established at 124 East 18th, street, New York city. After this organization. boys who were twelve years of age could reg ister as Boy Scouts. A boy must then pass a test to become tenderfoot, he must then pass another test to become a second class scout and SO on until he becomes an assistant scout ma ster
 A scout must know the scout oath, the scout law. the scout salute and the his tory of the American flag. Another thing a scout must know is first aid to the ir- jured and many other useful things. The | Boy Scouts have done their bit to their i country and have helped to win the war
 The boys who have joined the Boy | oCoutS nave .uOHe d SOoQ InInS. They 1 can go on hikes and go to camp and get l all the physical training that any boy can get. They. also can learn to swim ] and many other useful things A scout l can learn to cook and learn about the kinds of trees and birds. A scout must know the different poisonous plants.
 The Scout motto is SBe Prepared" i" which means that Scout Is always in a 1 state of readiness in mind and body to do his duty and meet any emergency. | The scouts have helped the police in many ways, in finding lost people and 1 helping the police in big parades. No 1 boy can grow into the best kind of citi- zenship without recognizing his obliga- tion to God. A scout must do his duty to his country. No matter what boy | is, whether he is a Catholic. Protestant or Jew, this need of good citizenship | should be kept before him. If he is a l Catholic Scout, the Catholic church, of which he is a member is the best chan mel for his training. If he is a Hebrew boy then the synagogue will train him
 in the faith of his fathers. If he be
 a Protestant. no- matter to what denom. | inatien of Professionalism he may belong
 the church of which he is an adherent i or a member, should be the proper or.
 ganization to give him an education 1T
 the things that pertain to his allegiance to God
 Every boy who Is here today should
 become a member of the Boy Scout or
 ganiza tion. for it. will train him to be
