Special Antires.

Pure soap IS white. Brown soaps are adulterated with Rosin. Perfume is only put in washing soap to hide the odor of decaying animal fat, or "Soap grease" Washing pow ders are strong alkalies and ru- in clothes washed with them. The purest soap obtainable is the best and cheapest. Dob. bins Electric Soap is pure, white, unscented, unadulter ated, and has been acknow. ledged ever since 1869 to be the only PURE family soap made. Is it economy to save a few cents buying a poor, nasty soap, or strong alkali washing powder. and lose dollars in ru- ined clothingf
 IF NOT use Dobbins' Electric Soap,
 white as snow and as pure and harmless, and your saving will be twenty times the soap bill. It is no new experiment, for 1t has been made ever since 1869. Look ont for limitations. See that our name is on each wrapper.

 tion, Addressed by Mrs. Bond of
 Monastir, Turkey.
 The regular monthly meeting of the New Haven Branch, Ladies' Foreign Missionary association, was held ct the Center church chapel yesterday afternoon. The attend anoe was not quite e large e usual. owing to the stormy weather.
 In the absence of Miss Daggett, Mrs. Oady occupied the chair.
 The report of the corresponding secre- tsry (read by Mrs. Ailler) gave an account of some unusual missionary successes. She also alluded to the contrast between the greeting which awaits our missionaries now and that which met those of genera tion ago.
 Following this report, Mrs. Bond, 8 med ical missionary at Monastir, Turkey, made an address. She said in part: "T went to my first missionary field with nay husband in 1868, twenty five years ago, and was driven away from there, los ing everything, and thankful to escape with our lives. This was at Eiki Zagra In 1868 there were no churches in the Eu ropean Turkey field, and now there ar' twelve. In the last twenty-five years ovel $6, 900 has been contributed by the na tives.
