 Smooth, Hairless Skin
CBeauty Topics)

Here is a simple treatment, which if used, will quickly banish hair or fuzz from chin, cheek or lip: Mix enough powdered delatone and water to cover the hairy surface, apply and in or minutes rub off and the hairs are gone. Then wash the skin to rid it of the remaining paste. This is quite harmless and does not injure the most sensitive skin. Definite re- suits are had quickest if the delatone is bought in an original package.

WHY WOMEN ARE
 SHREWD BUYERS

Any man will tell you that his wife can get more out of a dol- lar than he can.
 Women have the natural value sense = they know what their moneys worth means.
 One reason for this is that women are great readers of ad- vertising. No part of a news paper Is of greater interest to them than the advertising col umns.
 They study them daily and they shop as carefully through the newspapers as they do when they go to the stores themselves.
 Without the advertising. the newspapers would lose half of their women readers. Incident ally, local merchants would lose more than half of their business.
 Would you like to know moro about it while you are working on your plans? Drop a postal of inquiry to the Bureau of Ad- vertising, American Newspaper Publishers Association, World , Building, New York.

EXPLAINED WORK
 OF VISITING NURSES.
Miss Hills of New Haven Spoke at the
 Home of Mrs! George D. Colt.

Mrs. George D. Colt of Broadway in vited a large company of friends of the United Workers to her home on Tuesday afternoon to hear a talk by Miss Hills of the Visiting Nurses as- sociation of New Haven on the work of the visiting nurse.
 Miss Hills said she hesitated about coming to Norwich to speak after seeing the annual report of the United Workers and the amount of good work accomplished. The New Haven asso- citation was started about ten years ago with one nurse. It now has 20 nurses on the staff and two visiting houSekeeperS.
 Qualifications.
 To be qualified for a visiting nurse requires something more than just hospital training and being able to care for the sick with all the appli- ances of a ~hospital. They must be able to make patient comfortable with such means as they can find in the poorest homes and to induce their Families to realize the importance of cleanliness. In case of ordinary ill., ness. like typhoid or pneumonia, the nurse usually stays about one hour. 1T the patient is able to pay 25 cents they /endeavor to have them do so, or least to pay for the supplies. In grave cases two visits the same dave are sometimes made.
 Infant Welfare.
 There is a special nurse for the work Of infant welfare all the year round and four in the summer with four milk stations where good milk can be bought. This the nurse shows them how to care for and prepare properly by the formula given by the physician and with requisite cleanliness There are an average of 300 babies under su- pervision in summer and there ha 6 been decided decrease in infant mor- tality.

Measuring a River

An engineer found himself summoned
one day into the presence OF his COM
mander. Napoleon stood on the bank OF
a wide river gazing across to where the
enemy had planted batteries. which he
desired to attack with artillery, says st.
Nicholas Ma agazine.
How wide is that river?' was the dues-
ton put to the engineer.
Let me get my Instruments" was the
reply as he turned TO so for them.
81 must know at once the Emperor
insisted
The engineer went down to the level
bank OF the river. and, standing erect.
gradually bent his head forward till tho
edge of his hat hrim Just touched the line
from his eyes to the water line at the
opposite bank of the river, Then. keeping
his head bent as it was, he wheeled a
quarter turn till his eyes looked along
the hat brim and met the land at a point
on the same side OF the river on which he
stood Here he noted a rock or tree near
the point at which his eyes met the
ground. and. calling n soldier, directed
that n stake be driven neai that point
as he should direct. Then. by motioning
just where to drive the stake. he fixed
the point at which the line from hat brim
and eye reached the band. Turning to
the Emperor. Your Majesty" said he,
"the distance from where | stand to the
stake is the width of the river"
And so IL WAS, as you can readily see.

NERVOUSNESS IN

tered liquidation of March contracts
caused continued nervousness in cotton
during today's trading. and after an early
advance prices esfsed off with the close

ruary. but generally to points net

houses with foreign or southern connec-
tions caused the Decline and while there

offerings around IL .95c for July, the mar
ket showed little rallying power, closing

Rather better cables than due, contin-
ued large Liverpool spot sales. encour-
aging reports from the dry goods trade
and the failure of overnight advices from
the south to indicate any general weak
ening of the spot situation appeared to
promote some scattering demand at the
start. The market opened steady at an
advance of > TO 3 points and sold 3 to 6
points net higher during the early trad
ing.
Southern mail advices claiming that

scarcity OF sound seed in the southwest,
have contributed to this early advance,
may have contributed to this early ad-
vance, but the market soon met increased
offerings of March contracts. Brokers
supposed to be trading for one of the
prominent local spot interests appeared
TO be selling March against purchases OF
July, while houses with Liverpool connec-
tions had considerable volume of July
selling orders.
As prices worked off, scattering hduida-
ton became more active, and few spot
orders were uncovered on the break,
which carried the market about to

erpool the selling tapered off. as though
early offerings had been on straddle ac-
count, and prices rallied to points

seemed to be rather more selling from
southern sources on the bulges, however,
and the market was more or less unset

WHEAT MOVEMENT
TO CHICAGO LARGE
Shipments From Kansas and
Nebraska Acts as Weight
on Prices

Chicago, February 3.-Discovery that
an unusual movement of Kansas and Ne
braska wheat to Chicago had set in. acted
as n weight today on prices here. The
result was that the market closed heavy,
14e to lSQsse under last night
Other speculative articles, too. suffered
net decline. Corn was 1su&e. oats
ssassc and provisions eta5c to 5a7lsc.
News of the lending of considerable
quantities of wheat at Kansas City for
Chicago came in fulfillment of predic-
tions that radical bears have been maxi
ing for some weeks a silent campaign.
The market was affected by feeling pre-
vailing between the two cities. Evidence
ing demand in the southwest had reached
an abnormally low level.
Sales of increasing amounts of Nebras-
ka wheat to be put in store at Chicago
tended further to discourage holders of
contracts here for future delivery.
Belief that severe cold would not ex-
tend far into the winter wheat crop re-
gion was of an important secondary in
fiuence that proved effective against the
wheat bulls. The only firmness shown
was early in the session. and was due
to a slight advance at Liverpool, eoun-
terbalanced later by reports of liberal
Russian offers and an increase of the
European visible supply.
Enlarged offerings from Iowa and Illi-
nois weakened the corn market
Besides, there were hearish estimates
in regard to the yield in Argentina where
the harvest Is expected to begin not
longer than fortnight off
Oats suffered a break in consequence
of liquldating sales by holders who were
guided by the action of other grains.
Many stop loss orders were brought into
play.
Heaviness ruled from the outset In the
provision pit. Hog prices were lower.
The bear side also was favored by the
augmented stocks in the warehouses here
and by big gain shown In the world S
