INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
CARE FOR SKIN
DURING ADOLESCENCE

MISS Irene Libby at. 16T Water
street conducts a Harper Method
shop. In other words, her place is
one of nearly 500 in the country
wnere the famous Harper method Is
used for the treatment of scalp and
skin.
Miss Libby, since she has been ex-
eihph1vlng the Harper method in
augusta during the past TWO years,
mas oeen extremely successful in
treating both the scalp and the hair.
Hers is different from the ordinary
beauty shop and it Is because it is
Harper place that makes it so.
Particularly does Miss Libby en-
phasize the fact that the skin of
young folks should be properly cared
for
Perhaps at no time are the prob
lens OF the skin and hair more acute
than during the difficult period from
IL 10 70, known as adolescence"
says Miss Libby. 1T is unfortunate
that at no time are these problems
more neglected. There seems to be
happy belief among the average
mothers that time, in its regular
course. will take care of the trouble.
ana that no assistance is necessary.
This is occasionally the case, but
many an otherwise healthy and
beautiful skin has been ruined for
HE by carelesSness and neglect dur
ing this important period.
During the period when the BODY
Is maturing, all its functions are
over-stimulated and over-active,
The oil glands throw forth a super
amount of oil. This unsightly secre
talon clogs the surface of the skin,
giving an excellent footing for dust
ana impurities, and enables them to
penetrate into the pores. causing
tnem to enlarge, creating black
heads, and even giving rise to I'M
signify pus formations
Unfortunately at this time. the
system develops an abnormal crav-
ing Tor certain types of foods, chiefly
sweets and starches. These over
burden the body with impurities.
winch are thrown out through the
SKIN, and If the utmost cleanliness is
not exercised, result in acne, eczema
and other skin troubles in varying
acuteness. 1t seems a great pity
that these skin troubles are allowed
TO ruin the beauty of an age which
might be exquisite in it's clear and
youthful freshness. 1t is not at all
ADVISABLE for parents with small
children to rely on time to cure the
dlttlculties of adolescence"
The Harper method provides
treatment for the period of ado
lescence and in this Miss Libby has
become an adept. just as she has in
all the work she conducts in her
parlors

SHOE REPAIRER
MEETS MANY PROBLEMS

Inc man who repairs shoes these
days has problems that no other
trade faces. f. Buteau who has a
shop at 10 Water street, Augusta,
will tell YOU about some of the diff
ficulties that shoe rebuilder faces.
Mr. Buteau is a skilled workman.
He features the good news that he
guarantees his work and charges
only low prices. That he has the
right idea is demonstrated by the
fact that he has now been in bust
ness in Augusta for nearly. three
years.
Shoe repairing is a far different
proposition from what it used to be
years ago. Practically everything is
done by machinery. and when the
work is completed it is a job that
makes a bit of footwear look prac-
tically as good as if it had just come
out of the shop. But to be able to
put new thin soles on ladies' shoes
TO keep the heels as they should be
and preserve the shape is a thing
that the repairer has to look after.
Some of the womens shoes are so
delicate looking these days that it
would seem as if they wouldn't stand
a trip to the shoe repairers. The
fact that many pairs have been
| brought to Mr.. Buteau and that his
customers have been thoroughly
satisfied is the best proof of what
can be done by a skilled workman.
But 1t isn't only in work on wo-
mems shoes that Mr.. Buteau has
been called on to show his skill. Men
are infinitely harder on their shoes
than women and while the male
footwear is not as delicate as the
feminine variety, the style and
shape of each shoe must be carefully
preserved. Mr.. Buteau's customers
number both men and women and
everyone of them is satished

REAL PRIZES ARE
OFTEN DISCOVERED

Ihefe must be money In old
things, articles that the average per-
son feels are no longer of use, II it
were not so, then the F. O'Connor
Co., would not have been in bust
ness since 1884
For AZ years this concern has
been growing in the Capital City
In some places here are junk dealers
who are numerous. Augusta has
but one,-the O'Connor company
and that one has the trade all to
itself. 1t takes only a minute or
two to look at the big establishment
on Howard street to be convinced
that the O'Connor place is big one
and that the business done is on a
huge scale.
Rags, paper iron and metal Of all
kinds are bought here. Not by the
pound, but by the ton. Almost any
hour Of the day, one may see an
OConnor truck on the street piled
high with bales of old paper being
carted to the Howard street estab-
lishment, there to be weighed and
stored until a carload may be ship
ped away.
All junk Is not junk That may
seem paradoXical. But what is junk
to the average householder anxious
to get rid of the rubbish" may have
Market in some place. Mr.. O'Con-
nor knows where these markets are
and he is able to supply about any
demand for any old and uncommon
article
Sometimes. too. articles may come
to the O'Connor place that have an
even greater resale value than
ordinary. A real antique may be I'M
covered in an old lamp or a piece of
brass or iron. An oldfashioned
door knocker, wrought iron candle
stick, a rare book or something else
is just as likely to turn up as some
thing not one-tenth the value.
Everything that comes to the
O'Connor company is carefully gone
over. Some of it may be absolutely
worthless. even as the junkiest of
junk. Then again a real find may be
obtained, II is all delightful
gamble. At the same time it is a
prosperous business as is evidenced
by the way the business has grown.

24-HOUR GARAGE SERVICE
At HUPMOBILE AGENCY !

The r. A. Bagley Motor Co., on
Powhattan street has grown to be
one of the big motor service
stations of Augusta. Less than two
short years ago, MIR. Bagley came
here from Massachusetts,. He was
motor mechanic in the World War
and after the termination of that
memorable struggle, he became
Identified with some of the biggest
concerns in the East
Now he is in business for himself
and he has been successful from
the start. Not only in general auto
mobile work, but also in specialized
automotive electricity he has shown
his skill and built up worthwhile
business.
In addition to all the work he has
to do, Mr.. Bagley has taken on the
agency for the Hupmobile in this
section. OF all the cars that have
come rapidly to the fore during the
past few years. the Hupmobile
ranks high. Dependable, powerful,
good-looking and mighty easy to
operate it has won the admiration
and confidence of the many who
have purchased them.
Mr.. Bagley has been successful in
his sale of Hups. Naturally he is
enthusiastic over them, but no
more so than the man who buys one.
The Hup eight stands out as a car
that is winner, while the six is an
automobile that anyone would be
proud to own.
When Mr.. Bagley came to Au-
Susta, he realized that a 24-hour
garage service was the thing to
have. This he has provided and he
has proved the wisdom of his judg-
ment by the way business has
grown. Another feature of his SER
vice is the night washing. A car
may return home late in the after
noon or early evening covered with
mud so deep that the original color
may not be recognized. 1t is left at
Bagley's and when the owner wants
it the next morning. it is all ready
and looking spic and span. The
owner doesn't lose any time in wait
ing for the job to he done.

they are always willing, too, to give
suggestions on the making of some
complicated toy or mechanism.
But all this doesn't mean that
Parker's is exclusively a place for
youngsters. 1t isn't by any means,
for here n-mowers are sharpen
ed and repaired, razors honed to
cut the toughest hair, saws sharpen
ed so they will cut knots like cheese
and many other necessary things
done, to say nothing of shoe-repair-
ing. key-ftting and making and
radio service.
Parkers really comes the nearest
to being an all-round service station
that kennebec county has. More
than that it is making good in
every one of the varied lines.
