4th Member for Frederiksted Country
District W. VI. Skeocb) remarked: Mr.,
Chairman, the fact remains chat you can
not have a modern water system in a
place without having a sewerage system.
The water is already in the town of
Frederiksted and 50 it is easy to install
the sew 9rage system
4th Member FOR Christiansted Country

to Frederiksted in better condition.
LIST Appointed Member (~StdEemnHn):
Mr.. Chairman, | would like to ask the
Chairman Of the Municipal Committee if

much the entire sewerage system will
cost.
The (ChUjrmdn): think the Chairman
Of the Municipal Committee has already
answered your question; he says the in
formation given the Municipal Commit
tee is that they do not know how much
1t is going to cost.
4th Member for C~hristiansted Country
District (Pentbeny): Mr.. Chairman, |
think before any money is appropriated
we should have information as to how
much the system is going to cost
Bird Appointed Member (AbrUmSOn) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. we are not in
the United States, we must start with
something small. | think it is right to in
stall a sewerage system in Frederiksted.
What is good for Christiansted is also
good for Frederiksted. | know that the
people Of Frederiksted were having it
pretty bard for water in times of drought.

it is dangerous to turn down any offer

ence Of the organism that causes It.
Pimples
Children, beginning with the age
of IL. frequently suffer with acne.
or pimples. Not all children are
equally subject to the condition.
1t seems to be associated with .
disturbance of the sebaceous glands
and the amount of grease In the
skin. Physicians advise under such
circumstances simple diet with
lessened amounts of starches and
sweet foods also thorough atten-
ton to the bowel and their activity.
Excessive and unsuitable cloth
ing adds to the development and
spread Of the disorders of the skin
with pimples. 1t prevents proper
function OF the skin and deprives
the body Of stimulation provided
by cool air and sunlight.
If the child is given plenty OF
outdoor air and -unlight on lts
skin, the texture and quality OF the
skin will probably improve greatly
This is one Of the reasons why the
outdoor sunlight gets better results
under such conditions than artl-
fetal light apparatus.

a fascinating air OF difference. Your
daughter-in-law declares the repairs

Yes, you'll be very comforta BILE

/ said, and Mr.. Underwood spared
me any further reference to the pre-
tended repairs.
I'm counting on your going with
me right after luncheon. Madam
Graham" said Mr.. Underwood.
Il shall be very glad to accom-
pany YOU" my mother-in-law said
primly. May my grandson, Richard
Second, come with us if Mrs Beckett
approves?"
l was exceedingly proud of my
small sons self-control. He knows
that the motto Teasing forfeits all
chances" always has been rigldly en-
forced, but l knew that he was wild
to try the new car and had to fight
to keep from uttering a fervent
plea for the drive. But he said moth
ing though his eyes We're fixed on
Katherine with an appeal calculated
to melt a heart OF stone.
The little nurse hesitated only long
enough to make the permission
doubly precious.
Il did not intend you should 60

she said, but you are really SO much
better today that ! think we may
risk 1t. Butt must come too il !

She looked toward Mother Ora
ham as did the rest of us, for We
feared this intimation that anyone
besides herself was needed to care
for her grandson would be dis
pleasing to her. But the memory OF
his accident and katherine's devoted
care of him were evidently too
fresh for her natural choler to con-
quer them. and she smiled gracious
ly at katherine,
"Of course" she said promptly
and then turned to Lillian.
That still leaves an empty seat in
front" she said. Wont you come

one on the veranda.

chemically went through the motions

haired in order to placate the vanity
Of Mother Graham. The latter was
peeved because she had not been In
