Is probably without parallel. The
new annex viii consist exclusively
of bathing establishments for dogs,
organized on the strictest lines of
class distinction. There viii be first,

that there viii be a hairdressing de

ed that this property is increased
many fold when the charcoal is cool
ed to the temperature of liquid air.
The absorption takes place so rapid
