1t is very common to remark that ''this is
the coolest weather ever experienced" This
remark has undoubtedly been made by many
who have suffered from the severe weather of
the past week. 1t is consoling to know that
even that tough weather has had its parallel
and even been beaten by the weather
of eye olden time" In the winter of
1916 or II there were twenty-six days in
succession, when the weather was almost past
endurance. In the most favorable places the
sun made no impression on the huge snow
banks that were piled up so high as to hide
the fences.

do, but produces lasting loveliness by
improving the health of the skin. I'M

dermis becomes finer, and the surface
soft as velvet and smooth as porcelain

admiration in company than her neigh

but, SO far, all their efforts have proved
unsuccessful. Mr.. Bartlett has always
been an eccentric man, living a secluded,
single life, and it is thought that his
mind was impaired at the time he left
home. His former neighbors are consid-
erably excited over the affair. Some have
feared that he was put out of the way,
as it is supposed he had money in his
possession. -
