TO WASH GLOVES.

Among the most useful articles Of
girls toilet are chamois gloves.
Besides adding a great deal to the
appearance, they are comfortable,
and one does not have to think al
ways about keeping them clean, be-
cause. with very little effort, they
can be washed at a minutes notice
and look just as good as new: that
is, if one knows how. There is a
great art in washing gloves, and like
everything else, it is easy, when one
knows all about 1t.
Put the gloves on, then rub thor
oughly with white soap, just as II
the hands were being washed and the
gloves were not there. Rinse them
out in cold water in which there IL
a little bluing; this prevents them
from turning yellow.
When they are thoroughly clean
ed, rub ivory soap into them before
removing them from the hands. This
keeps them from becoming fuzzy and
looking as though they were made
of flannel Hang the gloves up to
dry in a cool place in the shade, as
the sun discolors them and heat stiff
ems the chamois.
When they are dry. put them on
again and press into shape. In this
way chamois gloves will last long
time and look well after a great many
washings.-New Haven Register.

PRICE OF COAL
REMAINS SAME
Local Dealers Continue to
Deliver Ton for $3.50.

Prices of chestnut and manufac-
turing grades OF coal have been in
creased twenty-five cents a ton to
dealers In this section. Patrick Con-
very, one of the oldest dealers In
these parts, stated that Increases
had been made by the Lehigh COM
pany In those grades and that stove,
egg and pea coal remained un-
changed at present. He stated he
did not exactly know the cause of
the increase, other than that 1t might
be because OF scarcity of the fuel or
because 1t Is being shipped westward
In large quantities this time of the
year.
The Perth Amboy Coal Company
states it received notification on No
vember 12 that stove. chestnut, egg
and pea coal had been increased
twenty-five cents q ton G.. NJ Pc
tersen & Company has been notified
from the Lehigh- Wilkesbarre Com
pany to expect increase in prices, but
they have not as yet been made.
Whether coal will be increased to
the consumer here cannot definitely
be stated as yet This is a matter
length of time the prices remain
boosted to local dealers. 1t was
stated recently that this subject
would be taken up by the, dealers by
December /. but it is likely to be
deferred indefinitely,
Mr. Convery and representative
of the Perth &mboy Coal Company
explain that coal can be sold cheaper
in New Brunswick because of water
shipments on the canal. Most the
docks border on the canal, they
state, and therefore is no loss in
weight, such as continually occurs
with railroad cars. Dealers must
accept railroad weights taken at
Packerton, no matter what portion
of the coal might be lost or stolen in
transit.

WILL INSPECT
MILK BOTTLES
SeaIer Toft to Ascertain IT
Any Are Under Size.

With upwards of a score of milk
dealers in Perth Amboy serving milk
throughout the city and its suburbs
it is possible that some of them
either knowing or unknowingly are
delivering their product in bottles of
less than the true pint or quart
measure. Such at least is the opin-
ion of Sealer of Weights and Meas
capacity Mr.. loft will soon begin the
inspection Of these bottles for the
benefit of the general community.
Out in Chicago the sealer of
weights and measures found on the
first inspection of milk bottles in
that city that 1000 out of 10000
ran small. On the last test made in
that city only 500 out of $500 were
found understood. The milk dealers
in Chicago claimed that 1t was i'm
possible to make every bottle alike
to hold either pint or quart but
they could show no cause why they
should not hold little bit more If
necessary to be ON the safe side.
After giving the milk dealers ample
notice to weed out their short bottles
the sealer of weights and measures
In Chicago were subjected to $500
in fines and costs before the general
use of full sized bottles was adopted.
Mr.. Toft has several cases pending
for the use of short weights and
measures. One is that of A. Belaf-
skie, of 14S Seaman street, charged
with selling potatoes out OF a sack
supposed to weigh 168 pounds and
only tipping the scales at 152
pounds. City Attorney Hommann
has this case in charge. Mr.. Toft
will soon begin the inspection of
measures in dry goods stores Work
is progressing in the fitting up of an
office in the city hall for the use of
the sealer.
