Women's Extra SiZ
Hosiery and Underwear

Most stores make very meagre,
very inadequate provision for large
women. They are either ignorant of
the number whose avoirdupois is
sufficiently heavy to require Hosiery
and Underwear in extra sizes, or are
Indifferent to the needs of such Gus
toners. We are fully alive to the
importance of serving all who come
here, that's why we bought Hosiery
and Underwear for large women as
lavishly, relatively, as for small and
medium sized ones. This will be
welcome news for hundreds, who
have inquired for extra sizes else
where, only to be chagrined and by
a scanty excuse, or still scantier
stock. We do not think a store in
Vermont is more ready for large wo
men than we are, and you'll find our
prices the very lowest.

Beautiful Suits

The Suit Store is an interesting
and busy place at this season of the
year. High,class Suits are here in
choice variety, and you save from S.
to S. on any Suit you purchase here.
We will also see that the fitting and
fine points on which depend the
and comfort of a gar
ment, are as near perfection as the
best tailors can make them. The
compliments on Suits re-
ceived daily by patrons who have
visited other stores and come back to
buy of us, is of course most crafty
ing. We positively know that our
showing of Suits cannot be equalled
in any store in LamOille County.

A CENSUS OF ANT COLONIES.

A German naturalist recently made "a
census of ants, He arranged an app
ance that permeated an ant hill with
sulphur vapors until all the inmates
were dead, Then he carefully dug up
the entire colony, and put earth and all
IN bag, which he carried to his laLora-
tory.
The sorting and counting Of the ants
required more than a weeb Of steady
work. He found 22,5SO ants and 1880
larvae in IT,
The investigator was not satisfied
with this for he argued that some ants
must have escaped and that many Of
the workers no doubt, had been away
from the colony.
Being aware Of the trait that makes
ants crawl in hordes over any new OH
Jet near their colonies he laid broad
pieces of smooth wood In thier patti
and scraped the ants Off into recepta-
cles OF alcohol at intervals This pro-
cess was continued for whole week,
I'll the hill was depopulated.
Five ant hills were thus examined In
one summer, and the census showed
that they had the following popula-
tions; 53,01s, 6741o, 1898, 1854, and
472S2 ants, all Of which We're workers.
