not be raised for thirty hours af err
she was released. IL the vessels

loss OF some thousands OF doll RS TO
the Government. An effort will be
made to save the stuff by exposing 1t
TO the air. A similar experiment was
tried with the Meade's -four. but an
inspection was made OF II. and 1t was
condemned and ordered sold. Thus
far no purchaser has been found who
prefers formaldehyde liked with his
-four to the straight bread9;uff.-S. f,
