FOODS GOOD
 FOR CLEAR SKIN
Physician Recommends Three Vegetables to Improve
 Complexion

It may seem strange to hear a professor of medicine recommend the eating of cabbage as an aid. to beauty, as was done in an address in St. Louis recently. He stressed cabbage, carrots and spinach as dict aids to good skin.
 We believe that most medical au- thorities will agree that the clear and beautiful complexion is one of the results of good health. If that is so, the words of q food scientist have bearing on the subject of beauty. This authority says that we should eat at least one raw fruit and one raw vegetable each day, also fruit and a vegetable well cooked. The vita rlins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables tone up the whole system, They give many of the healthful clements the body requires in the diet.
 A dash of sugar is recommended for adding to the pleasure of eating fruits and vegetables. Nature de- veloped this supreme favorer for relieving our diet of blandness and monotony. Use a dash of sugar on cereals, on berries. in stewed fruits. Remember an old secret: Use a dash of sugar in nearly every vege- table while it is cooking (prefer- ably in little water). This small amount of sugar does not make the vegetables taste sweet. But it is surprising how it develops the natural favors of the foods. Foods tastefully prepared encourage fealthful eating, The sugar way is the happy way. The Sugar Institute.

Boston, July IS Up)-Though Jesse Pomeroy. probably America s most famous life, has not enjoyed liberty for nearly 53 years he still retains an unbrokcn spirit of inde- pendence.
 It vas this spirit which today had moved him to place a seemingly in- surmountab ble obstacle in the path of 2ood-intentioned attorneys who thought they would he doing him a favor in arranging for his transfer from Charlestown state prison to the BridgoWater insane hospital.

TRUCKS BANG AWAY
 DURING THE NIGHT
Berlin Street Residents Con- plain Of Rude AWaEenlnSs
OFFERS FOR SCHOOL MADE
Two Would Buy Blue Hills Building -l'irance Board to Aicct-Court session Ton9ht-Bcrlin Items East Berlin News.

Residents of Berlin street are complaining that the heavy trucks that pass during the night are dis turbing their sleep by their loud noise. The claim that trucks costing down the street backfre with regu- larity and the noise is like Fourth of July celebration.
 There is law against the Coasting of trucks and state police have had many drivers in court who have at tempted to make up lost time by coasting. Most of the large trucks have governors which hold the speed down to about 25 miles an hour. But hy coasting it is possible to gain speed of 40 to 50 miles an hour. This is a favorite method of the drivers and is resorted to a great deal.
 At the intersection of the New Britain road and the Hartford pike there is much traffic. and coastlng on the street is dangerous prac- tice, as there may be cars turning il and out of the New Britain road. Truck drivers admit that there is little chance to stop the heavily loaded vehicles if they are going 40 miles an hour. Police have been very active in an effort 10 stop this practice but there is alWay some driver who will coast down tn" grade when he thinks that there arc no police on duty.
 There is also grade 'oming up the hill, going toward ..Crid"n. This grade is rot very steep, but every truck changing gears is not tho most pleasant sound to awaken one from sound sleep. But the only way that this sound may he rcme- died is by cutting the grade,
 Many of the residents of the town feel that if there were a traffic po- liceman on duty through the night truck drivers would be cured of the habit of coastng through the town. Even traffic lights at Damon's corner would prohibit the coastine. as >iruCks would have to be able 10 stop at the bottom of the hill in case the lights were against them. The matter of lights has been called to the at tcntion of the Berlin selectmen sev- cral times, but as yet there has been no action taken on the matter.
