BOSTON, June If you are a wo-
man who has lost the left hand you
had better write at once to Mrs.
Annie Huntress circuit, of 21S How
ard Street, Melrose. She can save you
money on gloves.
Fourteen years ago Mrs. circuit lost
her right hand. She has an artificial
hand in its place, but only wears 1t
on special occasions. Consequently
her left hand gloves wear out more
quickly than do the gloves on her
artificial right hand.
Up to a few weeks ago Mrs. circuit
has been buying gloves with a Mrs.
Hodgdon. of Sonterville. The latter
had lost left hand so it was a sim
pie matter for the two women to go
to a store, order a pair of gloves
Mrs. circuit taking the left glove and
Mrs. Hodgdon the right.
Then came the puzzle, Mrs. Hodg-
don had a death in the family and
went into mourning. Mrs. circuit
doesn't like black gloves, so there you

PRINCETON, June THE full du-
plicity Of the Princeton seniors has
been exposed. Two hundred and six
of them are writing to girls, and
these 206 have on their cores pond
ence lists FIVE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY NINE trusting maidens
One man boasts of SIXTEEN fair
correspondents, and papers his room
with their letters.
The 2O6 average two and a half
girls apiece.
On the 206, 203 have-whisper it
KISSED their correspondents. The
estimated number of girls kissed by
the 203 is 1927 more. That's an
average of about five apiece. The
man with sixteen spOndents also
holds the kissing record, with-oh
we'll, you wouldn't believe it, anyway
These horrible figures were disclos-
ed as a result of the recent canvass
of the class, when each senior was
put on his honor to answer truthful
~ questions put to him From these
answers statistics were compiled.
One Has a Clear Conscience.
Lfsteni Out of the 206, only one
man admitted that girls are his ia

The other 206 must settle with their
conscience.
Listen once again! Out Of those
579 trusting maidens who get weekly
letters with a Princeton" letterhead
only thirty three have known the joys
of a proposal Nine succumbed, for
the records show nine seniors are en-
gagged and twenty-four have been re-
jected after doing their best.
Think of it-only nine engaged men
out of 203 kissers.
These statistics shed a great light
on the educational institutions of our
country. They are commended to

The average age is twenty-five and

THE SECRET
OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to
Win the Peoples Con
fidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain--the ar
ticle did not fulfill the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine, A medic
inaI preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured, to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ornmend, for in almost every case it
shows Immediate results, as many OF
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that / know of has so
large a SALE
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulflls
every wish in overcoming kidney, liv-
er and bladder diseases. corrects ur1-
nary troubles and neutra1fzes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

THE MOVING PICTURES

One of the most unique features of

which is to be held for a whole week

of New York, especially for exhibition
at the show. The first of their kind
ever made in the country these pic
Bridgeport'e example will be emu
lated by many other cities all over
the United States.
The great interest manifested by
Bridgeporters in the pictures while
they were being taken in the various
parts of the city means that a great
many will visit the Armory to see
them. Some of the scenes were taken
on the main streets of Bridgeport and
show thousands of local people as
they go about their business or shop
ping. Many were caught unawares
and will not know they are pictured
on the screen until they visit the ex-
position or are told by their friends
Scenes in the parks, along the shore
resorts. in the factories and stores
are all shown and many will recog-
nize themselves on the screen when
Dry.
Several thousand school children
We're taken in fire-driIIs and dismiss
sal formations at the schools and all
the youngsters can hardly wait for
next week to come so they can see
themselves in the movies
The hundreds of friends of Miss
Resale Brennan of HoWIand's will
want to see how wonderfully she takes
her part in the pictures and also see
Miss May Bowlby, the talented lead
ing woman of the film company In
the various scenes. All of Miss Bren-
mans co-workers in the Rowland
store are going to attend during the
week to see her as Miss Bridgeport -
The trial run of the pictures proved
their worth and besides being instruc-
tive and examples of perfect photo
graphy, they are very amusing After
being exhibited in Bridgeport they
will be shown in many cities from
coast to coast.
