One distributor to give zny information on t bject. seemed to be no great cer- tainty as to just who set the price of platinum. One firm said that it paid its price to another refiner, and that whole thing depended on him. The refiner mentioned said that it was in i iox:} with e former firm, and price depended on many things as the price and availability of the ores, the embargo,.and the demand, “No one,” said the agent, “deplores more than we the high price of plat- inum.

Lack of fresh air it is said weakens the oxygen carrying power of the blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu- lates and the action of many of the vital organs are hindered thereby. The heart action becomes weak, work is an effort and the beauty of the figure is destroyed. 3 Fat put on by indoor life is un- healthy and if nature is not assisted in throwing it off a serlous case of obesity may result. When you feel that you are getting too stout, take the matter In hand at once. Don't wait until your figure has become a joke and your health nuined through carrying around e burden of unsightly and unhealthy fat. Spend 26 much time as you possibly can in the opem air; breathe deeply, and get from Lee & Osgood or any druggist a box of oil of korein cap- sules; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself ‘every few days and im- keep up tpe treatment until you are down to ndrmal. Oil of korein Is abso- iutely harmless; is plezsant take, helps the digestion and even. a fe days’ treatment has beep reported to £how a noticeable reduction in weight. B LT M. J.

To Be Sent in With Report of Work Done. Each member as a part of the sew- ing club work is to write a story and send with the report of work as out- lined in the first set of instructions sent, says a bulletin sent out to the club’ members through the New Lon- don County Improvement jeague, F. C. Warner, agent. Under the caption Suggestions, the following are offered: Tell how you happened to take up the work. Tell about your club organ- ization if there is one; about your club mestings; what you have made; which article -gave you the most trouble; some interesting things which may have happened; any mishaps. What have you learned besides just making the stitches, that includes fab- rics, care, etc.? Would you like to take the second year’s course? Have just an interesting little story, and have it sound just like a real girl. You may arrange cover design some- thing like the one enclosed. The dec- oration may go below and subject of story above if you prefer. You need not make an enclosure for picture or drawing, but place it iike the figure. Some suggestions for subject of your story: Our sewing club; my summer's experiences with a needle; adventures with needle and thread; a young dress- maker’s first training. Another bulletin is on the care of winter clothing. Why care for cloth- ing? it asks. It will last lopger. It will 1ook better. It reflects the char- acteristics of the wearer. It will often mean _getting a good position for if one shows care and thoughtfulness concerning herself and her belongings it indicates the person will be careful and systematic in all things, At the close of the season all cloth- ing not needed should be carefully stored. All woolen or fur garments should be thoroughly brushed and hung out of doors in the sunshine. Look over carefully to see there are no eggs of moths present. Then hang the clothing in cotton or paper bags—or pack carefully in boxes. Have all se- curely tied so no moths or dust may Blankets, underwear, etc., be washed before packing away, Plainly label all boxes so you may quickly find the article you wish. Greese spots should be removed at once or dust gets in and may ruin the garment. If the color or material will not be injured. use warm water and some reliable soap. If not, French chalk or powdered magnesia may be put on and left several hours before brushing. Sometimes this is necessary several times. Putting blotting paper over a fresh grease spot and applying a warm iron may remove it. Look out that the heat does not change the color of the cloth. Blood stains may be re- moved by making a paste of starch and applying it. Several applications may be necessary. Paint may be re- moved by using naphtha or gasoline. Great care should be used with either, as they take fire quickly. Do not rub the article, and use it in the open air. Thoroughly air the garment several hours before using. Keep away from fire or light. New Haven——Prof. Henry W. Far- nam of New Haven was among the guests at a luncheon given Monday by Mre.

Other witnesses called to the stand corroborated the testimony of the defendant, stating that they had nev- er seen gamoe of chance played n the Sabbah establishment. INTEREST STIMULATED BY GRAIN EXHIBITS Average Fair Offers Excellent Oppor- tunity to Interested Farmers. One often hears the complaint that the county fair of today is not what it used to be and ought to be. It does seem that the agricultural end of many of our local fairs has suffered a decline, as, perhaps a result of the emphasis placed attractions—hor: racing, acrobati ete., which now seem so nece: to attract E crowds. No fair, however, really serves its purpose unless the agricnl- tural, educatisnal and social features of the event are dominant. One of the edsiest things a farmer can do to make his fair ested in theirsfair, is to prepare a good TAKE NOTICE Every Saturday, with each purchase' of $1.00 or over of our Wines and Liquors, we will give one bottle Pure California Port Wine free.
