PEABODY, Mass, Oct. 29.-It is now definitely known that sixty school children were cremated when the St. John parochial school here was destroyed by fire yesterday.
 Seven hundred children were in the school when the flames were dis covered and the alarm given. When the teachers were notified of the fire the pupils were formed in line as in fire drill and began marching from the rooms but the children grew panicky when clouds of smoke began filling the rooms and soon they broke from the control of the Sisters and stampeded for the exits and win dows.
 Pupils from the upper rooms jump ed from the stairways, blocking the swinging doors of the lower rooms, and crushing many of the children. The Sisters, realizing that they were powerless to stem the stampede at the stairways, tried to guard the windows to prevent the children from hurling themselves from the building to the pavements before the nets

INVESTIGATING THE
 PICTURE BRIDES
Uncle Sam Discovers that he Has Been Assisting Japanese to
 Carry on Traffic in Women.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-The federal government is probing what is believed to be gigantic traffic in women which has been carried on under the eyes of the United States officials and in which Uncle Sam has been taking an unwilling part by as- sisting the men engaged in the plot to further their nefarious schemes.
 Some time ago it was charged by an American missionary in Japan that many of the picture brides' which were brought from Japan each year in hundreds, and over whom Uncle Sam assumed guardianship until the girls had been claimed by husbandsI were in reality being brought to the United States for inn moral purposes and that few of the brides continued to live with their husbands.
 Investigation by the federal au- thorities is reported to have disclos- ed the fact that large percentage of the women were immoral before coming to America and willingly lent themselves to any pretext which would secure their admission into the United States. Few of the brides have remained with the men they married before being permitted by the customs authorities, to land an has shown that many of them have husbands living in Japan who were agreeable that their wives should come to America in order that they could make money.
 It has also been discovered that "all Japanese look alike" to the customs officials and that many of the Japa- nese who claimed brides in San Fran cisco have been claiming brides at other ports where Japanese enter the United States when they would again begin the circle knowing that the off, cials would fail to recognize them.

Proper Thing Now Is To
Peel OF Soiled Skin

Those who abhor sticky, greasy,
shiny streaked compilations should re-
rOuges during the heated days. There's
no need for them, anyway. since the
virtues of mercOlized wax have become
known. No amount of perspfration will
produce any evidence that you've been
using the wax. AS it is applied at
the complexion never looks like
makeup. Mercolized wax gradually
ia kes off a bad complexion, instead of
adding anything to make it worse. It
has none of the disadvantages of COS
netfcs and accomplishes much more in
keeping the complexion beautifully
white, satiny and youthful. Just get an
ounce of it at your druggists and see
what q few days treatment will do.
Use like cold cream.
Another effective summer treatment

fabbiness-is a skin-tightener made by
dissolving 1 or powdered saxolite in

the cream which the buttermakers
have to work with will not test more
than 20 per cent. This necessitates
a high Churning temperature in order
to get the butter to come in a reason
able length of time. A large amount
of fat is lost in the buttermilk and
then to make matters worse the but
ter must be washed in cold water hav-
ing a temperature of As degrees to so
degrees Fahrenheit in order to get it
firm enough for working. Producers
should aim to produce a 80 to 35 per
cent. cream and then during these hot
summer mornings it can be Churned in
the vicinity of so degrees Fahrenheit,
washed a degree or two higher and
with proper working a fine piece of
butter will result.

street somewhere in the neighborhood
of Franklin square until they were
discovered by some one, left the store
with the 1000 free S. and H. green
trading stamps. The two mysterious

up and down the street until some
one stepped up to them and asked
if they were the S. and H. green
stamp boy or girl, upon which ques-

presented with the 1000 stamps. With
the stamps was a, letter bearing the
signature Of the Manhattan and stat

Mrs. Pierson, was pleased to be pre-
scented with the gift of the 1000 stamps.
