Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made
Smooth, Says Specialist.
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying little Mentho-
Sulphur, declares a noted skin spe-
cialist. Because of its germ destroy
ing properties, this sulphur prepara-
ton begins at once to soothe irritated
skin and heal eruptions such as rash,
pimples and ring worm.

not have to wait for relief from en-
bsrrassment. improvement quickly
shows. Sufferers from skin trouble
should obtain a small jar of M4otho-
sulphur from any good druggist and
use IL like cold cream.

GLEN ISLAND TO BE A PARK
Westchester County Commission Ac-
quircs Title For S55O.OOO.

New Rochelle, N. ~, Oct. Ii
Title to Glen Island was acquired by
the Westchester County Park COM
mission. The purchase price is $780,
900.
Some time ago when the commits
sion announced it would extend its
$10,000,000 park program to Long
Island Sound, the New Rochelle
Chamber of Commerce advocated that
public park be established ON Glen
Island. After several months of ne
gotiations and despite protests from
local residents. who contended the
acquisition of Glen Island for park
would be beneficial solely to New
Workers, especially those in the
Bronx, the commission decided to
take over the site.
1t is understood the commission
will further extend its program by
acquiring Rye Beach. now used as a
popular summer amusement center.
Negotiations are said to be under
way for this acquisition.

Maynard P. Hazen of the security
Trust company. of Hartford,3 proved
himself to.be an extremely interesting
speaker at the meeting Of the Mems
Bible class of Berlin last evening when
it met III, the Community house on
berlin street. Mr.. Hazen chose as his
subiects,t the story Of his trip to India
ten years ago when he went there on
his wedding trip. Hik lecture was IL
Illustrated throughout with colored
slides representing phases of Indian
life and showing some of the beauti-
full buildings for which that country
Is noted. The slides were made from
picturcs taken by the speaker.
The fact that religion is about the
principal thing in the life of the peo-
pie of India was brought out clearly
by the speaker. He exhibited several
pictures showing how the religious
fanatics torture themselve in order to
purge themselves of sin.
| The laws of caste are very strict i'll
India, said the speaker. He told sew
eral interesting stories showing the
strictness of this system. He said that
when a high caste Brahman walks
along the street this is Immediately
the signal for all low caste residents
to move to the other.side of the street.
If even the shadow of a low caste
person falls on a person of high caste,
the latter feels that he is terribly de-
graded.
Mr.. Hazen told of one of his own
experiences with the Brahmans. One
day, unknowingly, he and his wife
went out boating with several of the
people, who are members of the high
est caste in India. In the course Of the
excursion one of the Brahmans, who
was rowing, dropped one of the oars
overheard.
Mr.. Hazen Immediately grabbed it
out of the water. This apparently was
the signal for a loud outburs4 on the
part of the rover and his friend. They
became violently excited and, al |
though the speaker did not know what
they were talking about, they had be-
come extremely put out about some
thing. The rover would not take the

footed Auto Horn
to Warn Boat

A. A. Soule of this city, who de-
clares he has travelled in an auto
mobile for the past Is years. more or
less, says he has had to toot for
cows. pigs, chickens. goats and every
thing else imaginable in the animal
kingdom to get out of the way. But
he declares he had the experience of
them ALL Monday forenoon, while
travelling in Hallowell. when he had
to toot his horn for boat to get out
of his way.
AS he was going along { Hallowell
road. n boat cased into view and got
right in his way, being in the act of
crossing the street, in water which
was very deep, in fact deep enough
at that point. Now Mr.. Soule feels
that he has had every kind of n
thrill that comes to an automobile
driver in the way of obstruction. OF
course if he should decide to equip
his car with wings he might be toot-
ing for airplancs to get out of the
road. He was on his right of way.

under several inches Of water. His
tory fails to state if the boat took
fright and turned turtle. Anyway.

High Water Holds
In A. & X. Service.

No cars operated on the Augusta
division of the Androscogsin and
Kennebec electric line, Monday, &C
cording to a statement. made Mon
day afternoon by Supt. George Bowie.
A car was started in the morning for
Waterville, but it was quickly dis
covered that the power was going
back on them and the car put back
for Augusta. The lack of service is
caused by the high water. The water
backs up into the wheel pit and no
generation OF power is obtained.
In Gardiner, the water has been
flowing over the Maine Central rail-
road tracks to the square, being
from IS inches to two feet deep all
day. In Hallowell, the water was up
to the floor of a fiat car on the cleo
trio road siding, through that section
of the city known as "Joppy."
At Steam mill hill, rather bad
land slide occurred. But it is being
cleared and the road will be
pass:.ble there. by the time that the
power is returned.

The truck was the only hope in
getting the mail on it's journey as
no trains were running through Au-
gusta and it was necessary to get
the papers to the Waterville station
in time to make connections with
such trains as were running, and to
the Waterville postoffice in time to
connect with the r. f. D. carriers
and the stage route out Of Waterville.
1t was shortly after three. the
three quarter ton Dodge truck owned
by the Kennebec Journal started for
Waterville, heavily loaded with the
the State road, on the east side Of the
river. the truck was put UT to fair
ly fast pace. and this was kept up as
much as possible. A pouring rain
which was expected to bother, really
proved a God-sen as there was just
enough water falling upon the wind
shield to keep it clean and give a
good view of the road.
Up hill and down, the car rushed,
with the eyes of the three men
strained to see what was in front. for
who could tell what culvert had been
washed out? One of the men knew
the road especially we'll for the
greater part of the distance and he
called out to- the driver whenever
the truck was approaching a place
which might be washed out.
The lights of Waterville were in
sight and all were breathing easier.
feeling that the worst was over, when
suddenly pieces of wood began to dot
the road ahead. Before the car
could be stopped it was in the middle
of a great back flow from the river
which flooded the road. and the wa
ter was around the engine. For q
minute it looked as II it would be
necessary to get out and push the
truck to dry land. as the engine
stopped. However, the water did nc
damage and the engine was soon
purring again and the truck was
safely backed out upon comparative
ly dry land.
The scene of this difficulty was
about 100 feet south Of the Winslow
station Of the Maine Central railroad
