COST Of L!VINGlI
HIGH IN FEANG[
Americas Troubles in This Line Be-
inq Paralleled in That
Country.

Paris, Aug. 12.-Increased cost OF |
living in America as shown by the |
report of the bureau of labor, is be-
ing paralleled in France where the |
housing problem has become acute.
There is little place in Paris for the
man of small means and large fam
ilyily. An illustrative case is the fol-
lowing: A working man, earning
about $1.20 a day, and his wife and
seven children, wandered over the
city. looking for a lodging. He was
able to pay $50 year, but proprie-
tors Of houses of that price refused
to receive him when they saw the
children. Apart from the question of
children, it is extremely difficult for
working man to find accommoda-
ton in Paris at the present time,
however inadequate. Rents have
steadily increased in the past ten
years. BY reason of the increased
wages and shorter work hours in the
building trades the cost of construct
ing house has gone up 40 per cent.
Formerly the poorer classes lived
in the more remote parts of the city,
but the increased lines of subway
bring these districts within easier
reach of the centre, and the small
two-story house is being rapidly de
molished to make room for six-story
: modern structures where the rental is

PUTNAM
Two Suits Agsreeatins S26,soo Brought Against City = Basketball Team omised-Launchne of Men and Religion Forward Movement

Two suits for damages aggrega ting $26,500 in claims have been brought against the city of Putnam. One of the suits, brought by the Connecticut Contracting company of New Britain, is for $25,000. the other, brought by the Peter Suzio company of Hartford being for s1,500.
 Deputy Sheriff George F. Holbrook, acting for Bernard Gaffney of New Britain attorney for the plaintiffs, has served City Clerk Frederick W Sew ard with the papers.
 Tfe writs are returnable to the su perlor court in Hartford on the first Tuesday in November.
 No bill of particulars has been filed, but it is understood that the actions grow out of contracts between the plaintiff companies and the city for the construction of what is known as the second section of Putna1n's sewer system, a part of this section extend ing through an almost iTnpenetrabe ledge on what is known as the liar ris property, between Elm street and the Quinehaug river and it is assumed that the basis of the suits is diff ference of opinion in the interpreta tion of the terms of the contract.
 Tfe contract, according to the re- turns, was to have been finished De- cemEer 31. 1910. but the work was not completed until about a month ago. During the past summer the Italian laborers employed on the job quit work because they had not received five weeks pay that was due them but they were finally induced to return to work. the city guaranteeing their wages if they would do so.

 One of more than passing interest is given here: T have been a con- stant user of Dufy's Pure Malt Whis- key for many years, and although I am now past 78 years of age and soon will reach my seveI1ty-ninth birthday, I can outwalbl most of the young men of to-day.

How To Safely
 Peel Your Face
(From Beauty Culture)

If you have a muddy, sallow or blotchy complexion, the most sensible thing to do is to remove it-rather than to patch it over or doctor it with any cosmetic, rouge or lotion. The only way to really remove the com plexion-aside from resorting to an ex- pensive and painful surgical opera tion-is by means of ordinary mer- cCliztd wax. Spread the wax over the face, as YOU would cold cream, wash
 ing it off i'll the morning. This grad ually absorbs the 1ifeless and the half dead outer skin, it minute. almost in visible particles-and gradually the fresh young skin beneath beams forth. Then you have a clear, smooth, velvety, healthy-h complexion such as no unnausral method can poss .bly produce.
 Surface defects due to weather. ill., health or the raSages of time, of course disa ppear with the discarded skin. Ask the druggist for an ounce of pure mer- eallxa@s wax: this is usually sufficient.

There is a new angle to the pros Dect of basketball in Putnam. a pros pect that glimmered, flared, faded, if na1ly fIunke1 and had it's obiruarie $ written.
 Now comes Joe White of Webster, sport promoter premier, with the an nouncement that he will give this city a Basketball team and put it in the interstate league. This will proba bly, nold some real interest for the fans, now that they have got the worlds se- ries fever out of their systems.
 MT. White figures Putnam one of the best basketball propositions in two states-a real money maker All he wants. he says, is the assurance that he can have hall to play in and he should be easily able to get that. Thereafter he will take two Putnam players, complete his combination with out Of town stars, get into the league and burn up the circuit This sounds good and gets the hurrah from the local sporting fraternity.
 There's the story: the rest is up to MT. Joe" If he can deliver the goods he will get the support. Putnam is a real Basketball town.
