The bichloride of mercury solution of

today in the issuance of fraud order
against a Richmond firm whose adver-

Because the department doesn't feel
kindly, the distribution of Marvin, -
the marvellous discovery for making
dark skins white, will have to be con-
Quoted independently of the postal IA

The department sent a sample CT Mar

reported that the preparation consisted

Hotel Etiquette.

When a woman bows to a man who
is seated at a table in a cafe or hotel
dinang-room. he should rise slightly
from his seat as he makes the acknOwl-
edgment. If the oma with her es-
cort should stop to speak to some OF
her friends who make up the party
with whom he is dining he should rise
and remain standing until she passes
on. When a man is introduced to an
other man they should rise and shake
hands as they acknowledge the intro
d~uction. A man should always raise
his hat as he opens the door for a
woman in a public place, ever if she
is an entire stranger. Men should also
remove their hats in the presence of
ladies when going up and down in the
elevators in public buildings. A defer
entail and courteous name always
shows good breeding, and one cannot
be too particular in small matters, as
a mans breeding is revealed by his
department and conversation quite as
much as by his appearance.
