BEST WAY TO END
 BAD COMPLEXION Lasting Results Can Now Be Had By Using Famous Black and White
 Creations

When girls and women realize they have become victims of a bad complexion they seem to forget all reason and try most anything they hear of which promises relief, with out finding out the one sure and safe way to get rid of blackheads, pimples, blotches and rough. un- pleasant skin.
 Thousands of these girfs and women have learned that simply giv- ing their complexion the care it ought to have regularly by using Black and White Cleansing Cream to clean out of the pores every particle of dust, grease and other injurious things which might come in contact with the skin during the day when 1t is exposed to everything, will bring back and preserve that lovely, soft. smooth complexion of earlier years.
 Then, when the skin is soothed after a nights rest from the pre- vicus days exposure, first use lit- tie Black and White Peroxide Cream before you put on your face powder, This will hold the powder on your face so you won't have to keep put ting on more powder every few min utes to keep your skin exquisite.

Department of the Attorney General
Augusta. January -. 1923.
To the Clerk of the House Of Repre-
sentatives:
Dear Sir:
Replying to the joint order, re-
questing me to transmit in writing
to you an opinion on the following
question:
what fees. IL any, aside from
those provided in Chapter 145, Sec
ton 40 of the Revised Statutes, in
addition to their salaries are the
Judges of Probate in Maine entitled
to by law for their own personal ben
eft and use?"
I wish to say that the question may
be fully answered by reference to
Chapter III, Section 80. of the Re-
vised Statutes, which reads as fol-
lows: land the fees to which they are
entitled by law. except the fee pro-
vided in Section 40 Of Chapter AS.
shall be taxed and collected and paid
over by the Registers of Probate to
the County Treasures for the use of
their counties"

Increase VS.. Income

A typographical error in the ac-
count of the city meeting held Mon
day evening, conveyed a totally
wrong idea One of the sentences
in the report went to the linotype
operator in the following shape: HE
also called attention to the fact that
the fire department had started in
with about a $500 yearly increase"
The finished product of the linotype
operator read, "He also called atten-
ton to the fact that the fire depart
ment had started in with about a
$4,000 yearly income" Changing a
yearly increase in expense to a yearly
income is a process that most of us
would like to accomplish.
