Reasons Why You Should Wear
DuOfOId Underwear.

DUOFOLD being made of two
separate fabrics it is warmer
than a single fabric of twice the
thickness. The good housewife
puts a double blanket on the bed
for the same reason. The outer
fabric in DUOFOLD excludes the
cold, the inner retains the heat.
DUOFOLD being made of two
separate fabrics, with the air
space between, bears to the
human body the same relation as
that of the double window of the
house. Air being "a non-conduc-
tor of cold, the garment made of
two separate fabrics with an air
space between is warmer than a
single garment of double the
thickness.
DUOFOLD being made from
two light fabrics i~nter-knit, it
has warmth without bulk or
weight, the inner fabric being
made of very fine combed cotton
and attached to the outer fabric
of wool, keeps wool from shrink
ing. The good housekeeper, in
washing a piece of lace, sews it.
to a piece of cotton fabric to
keep the lace from shrinking.
DUOFOLD'S inner fabric of
cotton with air cells between
the impurities Of the BODY are
absorbed by the outer fabric,
while in the ordinary single gar
ment the impurities are retained
next to the skin.
lDUOFOLD being made with
the inner fabric of very fine
cotton, it is soft, and can there
fore be worn by those who would
like to wear wool but think they
cannot.
DUOFOLD has twice the alb
sorbing and ventilating qualities
Of a single fabric.

Knights Making
 Gift Album For
 Cardinal Gibbons

New Haven, oct. 1o-During the week the Knights of Columbus. repre- scented by the Supreme council, will present to Cardinal Gibbons an album containing congratulations and resolu- tions of best wishes concerning the celebration of the Both anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood and the 25tff anniversary of his becoming a cardinal. The album has been hand Tengrossed by Clayton J. Curtiss of Livingston street, and the work on it has been in progress for the past three weeks.
 The album which MT. Curtiss has been working upon has a red seal cover with a lining of gray silk, with fine quality of paper to match in side. The work in the book is hand ilumined in old English letters of the 18th and 16th centuries Some of the letters are like those which are put into high class work now being done in the Vatican. Mr. Curtiss engrossed the memorial of the gift of the Ives memorial library to the city now at the library
 The dimensions of the book are eight inches by eleven and the page beyond the fly leaf contains the cardinals coat of arms. The rest of the album is taken up with the printing of a resolution drawn up in connection with the recent meeting of the Supreme counciF of the Knights of Columbus at Detroit ls

A COMPLICATION.
lHartford courant.l


 The Bridgeport Republican prima- ries for nomination of mayor come tomorrow. At present there is noth- ing else so abundant or so readable in the Bridgeport pApers as their gossip about the outcome. The gen eral drift Of opinion seems to be that the strongest nominee would be At torney John c. Chamberlain, ana that the leading Republican managers (such as Messrs. King and Lavery) recognize this and want him nonni-- mated, sbut that so far it has not proved easy to persuade "the boys to advocate a man who announces that he will go in, if at all, unpledged and foot-free. That's Mr. Chamberlain's attitude. The reports have it that many of the practical workers want Coroner Wilson. who has made him. self popular by his verdict against the railroad. holding the directors liable for the accident, and by glad-handing all along the line. We haven't long to wait to learn who will be nominated, and after that comes tue election, to be held Tuesday, November z. Our special correspondence from Bridge port not long ago outlined the situa- ton and intimated strongly that the people would not be averse to getting rid of Mayor Buckingham, the pres ent Democratic incumbent.

 | Certain mammals in the Alaskan re- zion are known to swallow fish in a frozen state Old guides within the Arctic circle report that dogs that have swallowed frozen fish sometimes wriggle about on the ground, still alive. This story and others like it, have not attained credence among scientists A different aspect is given to the subject by experiments recent ly made at the University of Geneva by M Raoul Pictet. whose name is associated with the production of ar tificial cold. Not long ago he placed some live goldfish in a tank Then he froze the water while the fish were swimming about in it. The result was cake of ice with the fish rigid within. This ice was frozen to a still lower temperature (below the freez-. ing point pgoper) and maintained at the lower temperature for more than two months. Next the block of ice was thawed out very slowly The fish came to life and swam in an ap- parently normal way hither and thiti1- CT To quote from the Scientific American:
 ssThis is the simple but most remark able experiment which M. Pfctet real izes, adding new discovery to the lIlpeI C11lt OiiCS iIlC 1ldo dtA Cauy AAtc1hCs However, these latter relate mainly to industrial process4s, while the present experiment is one of far-reaching in- terest to science in general. M Pictet states that his first experi-# ments upon life at very intense cold date nearly eighteen years back. He became convinced that if the chemical reactions of a living organism could be suspended without causing any or ganic lesion, the phenomena of life would disappear, but these would come back as soon as the organism was re- stored to the usual conditions Great cold will suspend the operations of life as far as we are able to observe, but without losing it totally. He made some very conclusive experiments up- on fish, as we already noted, and these could be completely frozen and then thawed out without causing loss of life On one occasion, while work ing on this subject at the university, he put 28 fish in a deep glass basin and left them for M hours in water at about the freezing point. Then he froze the water to a. solid block, to- gether with the fish, going down to twenty degrees. By breaking off part of the block, one of the fish .could be taken out, and he found that it could be broken in small pieces just as if it were made of ice itself After thaw- ing out the block, it is found that no harm has been done the fish, and they swim about just as if nothing had hap pened."

State Property at Clinton Prison Sold

PQughk eepsie, N.s Y, Oct 10.-Ten employees have been peremptoriIy dismissed from Clinton prison for lax ness in protecting the States proper tained from four of them showing how several thousand dollars worth of tools and supplies got away Tn January and February, 1911. A trip was made on Saturday to forty places near the prison and goods var den Kaiser and Special Agent w. A. McCabe of this city. The prison yard was stacked with piles of heelbarrows, rolls of cloth and tar paper, hundreds of picks and show els and jacks. l.<s
 The construction of a sewer for Clinton Prison has been the daily task of many of the able bodied prisoners for several months. The sewer is about two miles long. Its building re- quires many toools. So also does the other work about the premises the erection of minor buildings ana even the working of the sand pit own ed by the State and the laying Of new state roads to points twelve or f1fteeen miles distant.

 In this big raid it was learned that ten employees were directed impli- cated in the traffic with shiftless farmers. mountaineers and other neighboring inhabitants. who gladly materials and tools they could use and which they must have known were stolen.

the legal limit, has been observed. and leaves Reno the day the divorce 1s granted. Tn Judge Petits view. thzo fs not and never could be a real citizen ship. and any divorce granted because of 1t should not be honored in any state which retains its regard for the dignity of the law
 The ruling is not 50 arbitrary or rev. olutfonary as it may appear. The 6u~ preme court held in 1908 that di- yorces granted by states that do not have jurisdiction over both parties to the action are not enforceable outside that state. As the grist of Reno di- ment of the slim residential require ments of one party only. obviously any Of the states may refuse to rec ognize their validity at a1I especially where one of the parties happens to be resident of the state in which the divorce Is questioned This is tho legal ground forthe ruling of Judgs ter will have a larger appeal.
 To make barter of such matteru as Reno has done and boast about 1t Ca precisely similar case being the former willingness Of the state of New Jersey to qualify corporations to go out and prey on other statesJ is enough to arouse the antagonism
 
 igan law fnterposes reasonable ob5ec- tions to the get-divorced-qutck" de- sires of perhaps questionable class Of people, and if by obtaining wholly artificial and temporary resi- dence" in Nevada one Michigan cifi- zen can get a divorce to the possible hurt of another Michigan citizen, then the state of Michigan has the legal right, under the Supreme court ruling, to protect the citizens who remained at home content to let the laws of Mich igan take their own course.
 In the case before Judge Petit, the husband was the Reno party. By methods well known in that notorious town, he secured a divorce which left him under no responsibility whatever to the family he had virtually aban- doned. Returning to Illinois with his Reno freedom, his family appealed for some help toward their support He flashed his divorce as his permission to see his family starve If it could do which Judge Petit declared void in the state of Illinois.
 This is the most encomagaing d. vorce proceeding heard for many day. It's chief encouragement lies in the fact that it represents a growing conviction on the part of host of judges in the country. Behind the plea for equal divorce laws lies the question whether the hurtfulIy uu- equal bnes- should be discriminatgd against by the states which hold high ] standards in the matter. The de- nial of recognition to Reno as the di- vorce hub of the universe is an indi- cation that when divorce laws are equalized they will not be- equalized downwards to the Reno standard, bnt to the highest standard pub lie opinion will sanctfon And public opinion will sanction a reasonably high standard. too
 With one judge keen enough and brave enough to pierce the Reno mask it should not be difficult to find many others to follow in biz path.

wHDN IS A DIVORCE A DIVORCE?

Detroit News.)
 When the newspaper cartoonist sa- tirized the Astor- Force marriage, by representing the officiating minister with upraised hand, saying: T pro- nounce you man and wife in the fol- lowing states and territories-'' he was more prophetic than he knew. In the case referred to, the couple are not married in the view of the New York law. What will happen to them if they ever try to live as in marriage in that state is matter of conjecture although consistency would require the administrators of the law to take the usual steps.
 The state divisions in the matter of marriage and divorce are increasing instead of decreasing. Judge Petit, of the Cook County circuit court, has just held that Reno divorce is not divorce in Illinois. This reasoning is sound, even if novel, and has the highest legal Justification He ques- tions the point of citizenship in case where a person goes to Reno fos the few months residence required has his case brought up the day after

BRIGHT GEMS
 or THOUGHT

(By the Kaustic Kid.) The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year. For Jimmie wants another suit, CTbe winter season's here.) The melancholy days are come, l. Indeed they're almost nigh; The trees are bare, the ground is hard
 And coal is awful high. The melancholy days are come,
 I guess they're here to stay For food is now so dear, think
 We'll have to live on hay. The melancholy days are come.
 How came I by my Knowledge? Why the melancholy started when Our IRA went to college. They tell me that these Giant boys
 are sure to win the pennant, Take this from me,-they'll have to
 or my house will lose a tenant. I took my little bunch of dust and
 spread it on the Giants, Tn Rube Marquard and Mathewson I
 place all my reliance, This Connie Mack,s a foxy guy for
 that I'll give him credit And I'll admit his gang is good,-both l2u1Qu ana w dt0IS Sdlu its But what's the use of beefing; when E I think of Mugsy's staff I know my tin is safe and so really
 have to laugh.
 When the seasons safely over and
 the pennant's in New York; And the Mackites see the folly of the
 trust they put in cork, Then I'll take my roll of iron men and
 hit the great White Way And-when the winter comes I'll wish
 I'd salted it away. Madeline Force didn't marry be- cause John Jacob Astor, no indeed. It was because her mother wished it and she really couldn't say Noma.

ASHES THROWN
TO The WINDS
UNUSUAL DYING REQUEST OF ST.
LOUIS BACHELOR CARRIED
OUT AFTER DEATH.

st. Louis, jan 3O.-In compliance
with the dying words of Joel Braumil-
Ter, the wealthy bachelor who died
last week at Maryville, Mo-, his ashes
were consigned to the winds from the
middle of Eads' bridge yesterday. The
peculiar disposal of Mr.. Braumiller's
remains was in obedience to plans
made by him seven years ago.
While in st. Louis to view the
Louisiana Purchase exposition he paid
visit to the crematory and when he
returned home he declared he would
dictate his burial when he died. Ac-
cordingly, when he drew up his will
last week, after having sold his farm
for $4,000, one paragraph stipulated
what should be done with his body. It
said:
II direct that after my death my
body be shipped to St. Louis and there
cremated and my ashes strewn to the
winds from the south side of Eads'
bridge over the river"
There was no service nor ceremony
of any kind whatever at the bridge.
