100000 for Silver Black Foxes

100000 was the price paid recently
by w. II. Purdy, of Dorchester for 20
silver black foxes. The foxes were
raised on a fox ranch in southeastern
Alaska and were brought to Tacoma,
Wash, where the sale was transacted,
says the Boston Post.
One of the foxes. male weighing a
few ounces more than 20 pounds, is
gold pieces. This Alaskan silver black
is valued at $4,000 Gold weighing as
much as the animal would be $4,000
Mr.. Purdy is president of the Massa-
chusetts Silver Black Fox company, on
Estate street. whose fox ranch at Prince
Edward island is said to be one of the
largest in the world and 1t was for the
purpose of placing the ten pairs OF
Alaskan foxes on the farm for breed
ing that the purchase was made.
President Purdy left Boston several
weeks ago for Alaska, being authorized
by the other officials of the company to
use his own judgement in purchasing
the foxes and to "go the limit" if neces-
sary.-t
James Newson. of Somerville, treasu-
rer of the company, was informed Of
Mr.. Purdy's purchase and evidently was
not greatly surprised. He thought the
Price rather high, but felt confident.
he said that Mr.. Purdy got his moneys
worth.
Mr.. Newson said that there are about
30 fox farms on Prince Edward Island
and that the profit on the money In
vested is from 40 to 80 per cent. an

declared He said that ne had several
thousand dollars invested there, and
that other Boston wholesale produce

critics with whom the present chancel-

Cupid Triumphed
II often has been stated, by the bye
that Joseph Chamberlain, who person
ally supervised every detail of his
sons training, discouraged the idea OF
marriage in him on the ground that
domestic responsibilities would seri-
ously prejudice his sons chances OF
promotion in the councils of the EN-
pire, but If this be true evidently Cupid
rriumphed as he has so often before
at the expense of a fathers schemes

POWDER ON THE FACE
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
IN ITS APPLICATION.
No Real Reason Why II Should Be
HarmfuI-Thoroush Cleansing
Of the Pores Of the Skin
Absolutely Necessary.

Occasionally I receive an inquiry
asking my opinion in regard to the use
OF face powder. Whether powder can
be used on the complexion with per
feet safety or II is likely to prove In
furious. My answer has always been
that powder can be used without the
least fear Of any I'll results provided
the powder Itself is harmless and Is
used over foundation of pure cream.
and also provided the face is thorough
ly cleansed eech day to prevent the
pores of the skin from becoming
clogged. Such cleansing is necessary
whether powder is used or not. because
the dust and CRIME from the atmos-
phere will settle into and clog the
pores unless the skin is cleansed often
enough to prevent obstruction of the
channels Of elimination.
Face powder as a beautifier for the
complexion has been used for centur-
les, and nowadays powder is taking a
still more important place among cos
metics and Is used extensively for pro
tecting the skin from the deleterious
effect of the sun and wind Especial
ly is this true since the automobile
has come into favor as q means of To-
comotion. Exposing the face to a
gentle breeze when one Is walking re-
quires little thought as to protective
measures, but exposing the face to the
strong wind when an auto is going 80
or 40 miles an hour is quite another
thing. Unless the face is we'll pro-
tected the chances are that the skin
will not only become tanned, but will
In time take on a withered look and
gain hardness In texture which no
amount Of makeup" will effectually
hide.
When a good cream is rubbed into
the skin before the powder is applied
1t nils the pores with a harmless sub
stance which is easily removed and
which prevents the dry powder from
settling into the pores and clogging
them. II cleansing cream which Is
light and penetrating is applied for the
first stage of the cleansing process,
the pores of the skin will be thorough
ly cleansed and every bit of powder
(and dust which may have been gath
cred on the ride) can be quickly
wiped on with soft absorbent cotton
and the skin will be found perfectly
clean.
If the skin shows the slightest ten
dency toward irritation from the ex-
posture to the wind, do not follow Inn
mediately with soap and water
scrub. 1t is really not necessary and
will only serve to increase the irri-
tation. Battle the face gently with
rose water and be satisfied that you
have done your. full duty.
