C.,, Dec. 15—Sealskin sacques will cost 40 per cent rhore than last year, that being the advance in the | prices realized at the annual sale of seal- | skins in London to-day, when record prices were obtalned.

The average price last year was §18. The catches of the Cape Horn schooners were sold for $6 a skin. Many of these were shaggy, the average pelt not being as good as the North Pacific skins. The high vprices realized were due to the in- creasing #scarcity of sealskins and the greatly increased demand. The prices brought in London to- day are the highest on record. e ———— HOGS ARE KILLED TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF DREAD DISEASE VANCOUVER, B.

The man who offers you a silver set, dishes, pictures or any kind of a premium with a year’s subscription to THE LAD1ES’ HOME JOURNAL is a swindler. Don’t you know that THE L.aAp1ES’ HOME JOURNAL never gives a premium #o a sub- scriber, and that it has spent thousands of dollars for twenty years past in advertising the fact that any one offering a premium of any sort with THE JOURNAL may be regarded as a swindler? And yet it goes on year after year, and we keep jailing them. Why are women so easily fooled with a bargain offer?
