GOLD FOR JEWELLERS.
Most Of the Raw Material lie Bought
From tho Government.

jewelers. derive their gold supply
from various sources, such us old jew
elry. banks and refneries, but the
greater part Of the raw gold used by
the manufacturer comes from the gov
eminent.
From the refiner the gold comes to
the factory in the form OF buttons or
granules. The refneries employ the
waste of the jewelry shops and by
burning Off the material portions and
subjecting the result to certain proc
esses recover much gold that other
wise would be lost to the trade.
For many years there was steady
drain on the gold coin In circulation,
caused by the use of the coin by jew
elers In search of raw material The
fact that our government turned out n
coin that after passing through the
assay Office was of twenty-five carat
flneness, only two grains below the
pure gold standard. and had also been
worked over, the silver and copper
forming the alloy having been mixed
thoroughly in the gold before the coin
was minted, made the gold coin par
ticularly attractive to the jeweler.
The manufacturer experienced no trou-
BILE when the gold coin was used, In
asmuch as the alloy always had been
combined with the metal. and all that
was necessary for the commercial
utilization of the coin was to alloy 1t
to bring the gold down to
the point required; also, from the jew
eler's viewpoint, lot Of time and diff
Guilty was saved. inasmuch as this
scheme did away with much bookkeep-
ing and rendered unnecessary. the ty-
ing up of considerable amounts Of
money in the purchase of raw mate
rial to be held as stock. Later, how
ever, the government made up the
pure gold In brick or bar form. and 1t
is in that shape the greater bulk OF
the supply Is now derived.
Thousands of dollars pass between
the banks and the manufacturing jew
elers every year in the forms Of bars
Of gold, the banks handling these for
the benefit of their clients. The bricks
vary In value according to weight from
$500 to $500 and come with the gov
eminent assay office stamp as guar
antee Of purity and fineness.-New

TRUSS PAD Chatting.

If you are one of the many thousands
who have to wear truss, you doubtless
suffer much at times from the chatting
and pressure of the pad.
To prevent this easily, you need only
dust well with Comfort Powder when
the truss or bandage is applied and
again when it is removed. 1t not only
overeomes all irritation but keeps the
skin firm and smooth. The leading truss
makers recommend Comfort Powder.
BE sure to get the genuine with L. S.
