within the past two months the Leah

have enabled it materially to increase
its capacity.
Mr.. G. n. Wilcox has authorized us to
erect and equip at his expense new

tanning twelve beds. This particular
pavilion, which is in process of erec-

Besides this, at meeting of the trus

presented from Mrs. j. b. Atherton in

was that of Sasaki, proprietor of the

POISON KILLS GIRL
 SEEKING BEAUTY
TAKES DRUGS FOR COMPLEXION , IN HOPE OF BECOMING FESTI-
 VAL "QUEEN' AT ATHENS.

New York. Dec. 19-Ambitious to be- l come so beautiful that she might re- turn to Greece and be chosen Queen of Beauty at a festival to be held in Athens in celebration of the Turks
 downfall, Clara Zanarthas, twenty three years old, who lived at 114 Wall about street, Brooklyn, took small doses of poison she believed would make her still more fair and died yesterday at the Williamsburg hos pital from the effects.
 She came from Greece less than a year ago and had posed for the head and shoulders in the studios of sev- eral artists and sculptors in Manhat- tan. She had told her friends in Wallabout street that she feared her complexion was not the clear, pale ] olive that she wished, and somebody advised her to take small quantities of arsenic and bichIoride of mercury, al ternatfng the drugs.
 The girl took too much of the pol sons, according to the hospital phy- sicians, who were summoned by po- liceman who had heard her screaming from agony in her home. pr. F'elner found that the tissues of her throat had become inf1ansd and so swollen that she was suffocating. At the hos pita1, to enable her to breathe, the operation of tracheotomy was per formed by pr. Lafferts A McClelland and Dr. Henry A. Dang1er, and Stl- yer tube inserted in her throat. The action of the poison. however, could not be arrested. She told the phy- pital that she had taken the drugs for several weeks. She said she had hoped to return to Greece within a month or two.
