MILFORD SCHOOL NEWS.

The reports for the second month

cent. This Is the best record made by
the school IN four years.
Investigation shows that twelve per
cent Of the boys of the Milford Schools
between the fifth and twelfth grades
use tobacco. In the seventh and
eigth grades the percentage is thirty
seven and one-hslf per cent. Without
entering into the consideration Of the
tobacco question as whole it can be
safely said that the use Of tobacco by
the immature ia ordinarily fatal to ad

Vienna, October Especially Some re- markable incidents in connection with the agitation against exorbitant rents and the high prices of foods have followed the riots of Sunday of last week.

 A family blessed with several children camped out in the Graben recently and were found cooking their dinner with an oil lamp on the steps of the Palague mon- ument They informed the police that they intended to spend the night there as they had been turned out of thelr lodging on account of their children The father had in his pocket the quarters rent which he said the landlord had refused.
 It has now been decided to erect munfc- ipal barracks for the shelter of persons able to pay rent but unable to find accom- modations. It is proposed to vote s10O,0O0 for this purpose.
 Agitation against the dearness of food continues and the railway men have threatened a strike.

Supercedes Massage
 As Wrinkle Remover
(The Woman Beautiful)

Many women regularly visit the beauty specialist to have their wrin- lles ironed out with the help of hot applications. cold creams and massage. Most Of us realize that there comes a time when no amount of persuasion of this sort will avail. This process of wrinkle removing'' is wrong in principle. Both the hot water and the massaging tend to expand and loosen the skin besides softening the muscu- lar foundation.
 The very opposite result should be aimed at. The tissue should be strengthened, the skin frightened, so shcrell be no room for wrinkles.
