In State of Sie0e.

'Tn these days of labor unrest the modest flat dweller is in a. state of siege" writes a. correspondent of the London Chronicle. T am writing from a. flat that had a dread of a coal famine. We carefully got in wood blocks, coke and all the coal that could be stored in the mysterious basement. And the organizer of the household said We should be all right for a month or more. They couldn't freeze us out. The bathroom was full of things that could be burned. And I could mt take a step without tumbling over possible fuel And then, after all our efforts the coal strike is over. Now that coals are coming in all right We hear that electricity may fail in the near future The foeseeing lady of the house has purchased-at bottom pricees-a large consignment of can dies. things which few but our grand mothers remember. If electric light fails candles will rise in pricce Well. we have enough candles, coke and wood blocks and timed food there is hard Iy room in our fiat for my elbow to protest.
 But so long as there are macthes in London no electrician shall put out our light. We have enough candles, and the modern flat is prepared for the siege"

HOW RESINOL
 CLEARS AWAY UGLY PIMPLES

It is so easy to get rid of pimples and blackheads with Resinol, and 1t costs so little. too, that anyone whose face is disfgured by these pests is fool ish to keep on with useless cosmetics. or complicated beauty treatments. See how simply it is done:
 Bathe your face for several minutes with Resinol Soap and hot water, then apply a little Resinol Ointment very gently. Let this stay on ten minutes, and wash off with Resinol Soap and more hot water, finishing with a dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice a day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing, antiseptic Resinol medication soothes and cleanses the pores, leaving the complexion clear and velvety.
 Resino1 stops itching instantly and speedily heals eczema, and other skin humors, dandruff sores, burns and piles Sold by all druggists, Resinol Ointment, 50 cts. and s1, ResinoI Soap, p cts. For free trial size, write Dept. 3-R. Resinol, Baltimore, Md. Don't be deceived by worthless limitations

A very elaborate birthday dinner was given March 8 in the sun parlor of the Huntington hotel in honor of Thomas R. Neil. one of the guests, says the St. Petersburg (F'la.) Inde- pendent. Covers were laid for IA guests, the color scheme and floral decorations being in yellow. The fa- vors for the ladies were Japanese bas- kets adorned with yellow tulle. while each gentleman received a bunch of cigars tied with yellow ribbon.
 MT. Neil was called into the room under pretense of seeing the captain of his yacht. and when he entered the door he found, much to his astonish- ment, the guests all assembled-and to say that Mrs. Neil had planned the affair to be a complete surprise ex- presses it mildly.
 Before the guests were seated Chauncey Heagle of Johnstown. N. Y.. gave d toast in rhyme.
 Mrs. Neil is the daughter of Mrs. George Evans Wightman of this city. They spend their Aummers at Fishers Island and their winters in Florida.

BROWN-TAILS IN NORWICH TOWN
State Moth Scouts See Many Nests There While Passing Trolley Cars-Locate a Few in Montvile Bozrah, Franklin and Along Salem Turnpike-John H. Osgood and E. R. Sherman Doing Work Here.
ron, Columbia, Lebanon,

Windham, Hebron, Columbia Lebanon, Franklin, Colchester and Bozrah.
 When a town is reported as infest- ed, it at once also goes into the stock can be shipped from it with out inspection.
 Although the menace of the brown tail has been sounded so frequently, MT. Osgood, who is an old experienced freeman, says that there are many people they find yet who ought to know about them but do not.
 Because the trees are denuded Of their leaves now, this is a favorable time to conduct the search for the brown-tail nests, for they can be more easily seen. These winter nests are formed of leaves, sometimes only one leaf and at other times several leaves together, drawn together by the silk which the caterpillar spins and dashed firmly to the twig. They are imper ViouS to water.
 The equipment of the browntan moth scouts consists of a pruner with an extension handle, by which they can reach to height of at least 20 feet, which is enough to cut off any twigs on which they see the nest They keep a record of all they find, destroying all that they clip from the trees.
 Nests With 50 to 300 caterpiIIars.
 A small nest would contain about 50 caterpilIars and a large nest from 200 to 300. While dormant in the nests now, the caterpillars wll quickly be- come lively if taken into a heated room, and as soon as it is warm enough for foliage to Sprout, they also hear the call and sally forth for 8 good square meal on teh tender leaves. They keep on eating ravenously until they mature about the 10th of 18th of June, when they go into cocoons and emerge from them as moths about the middle of July. Then they lay their eggs and a new crop of caterpillars is matched about the latter part of August.
 Gypsy Moth Around Putnam.
 The Dr0Untail scouts who are work ing of the state are not also on the lookout for the gypsy moth. That work is being done by the United States government, who have men at work in Putnam, Woodstock and Thompson. In all of these towns egg masses of the gypsy moth have been found.
