MAKING STEAMER PURITAN
INTO COAL BARGE
Once Queen of the Sound to Find 9th
er Employment

Steamer Puritan made her last trip
Wednesday afternoon when at 100
o'clock the Scott tug Alera passed a
line to the one time Queen of Long
Island Sound and pulled her from the
mud at the New London line wharf
where she has rested for several
months and tcwed her to a row of
dolphins previously prepared at the
New London Marine Iron Works
where the steamer win be dismantled
and her hull converted into a barge.
1t took just a half an hour to get
the steamer to it's destination. Resting
an1idships on the outermost Of the dol
phins the Puritan yielded to the push
ing of the Alert and swung to a DO
sftion at the south side of Iron
Works wharf where the wreckers'
axes will soon turn the huge side
wheeler into barge that will be tow
ed about with her hull filled with coal.
The wrecking Of the Puritan will
start Immediately. Practically all the
Interior of the craft has been cleared,
all junk values having been sold. The
last of the steamers furniture was put
ashore at the wharf Wednesday morn
ing. Every state room has been strip
ped of it's furnishings and berths. AS
soon as the upper work Of the Puri-
tan has been removed the hull will be
towed away and the dolphins will be
utilized by the steamer Pilgrim, which.
at present is berthed at Providence.

GIRLS--DO YOUKNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
IS UGLY?

Abigail Moore. the noted beauty au-
thority, says: THE hair is a register
Of the physical condition. Cleanliness
and massage, as well as careful comb
ing and brushing are most important.
Many women do not realize the
necessity OF keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order to look their
best at all times. And yet. with only
few minutes Of tonic massage, the
hair may be brought to q beautiful,
thick. lustrous luxuriance. and that at
very little cost
Just try these few simple directions
today: Into the palm Of the hand pour
little Partisan Sage, a rigidly guar
anteed. inexpensive and most bene-
fetal preparation to be had at any
drug store; thoroughly wet the hair
near the scalp with 1t and then rub
vigorously until a soft tingling sensa-
ton comes stealing over the head. Do
this regularly for few days and &C.
| casionally wet your brush with the
tonic and gently brush out the hair
you will surely be surprised and de-
lighted with the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage IL OBJ
tainable from Lee & Osgood Co., who
always sell it with an absolute guar
antee of perfect satisfaction to the
user or the money paid will be re-
turned.

SERV-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat is
made up today of the best quality of
dried fruit and other items which can
be found, all of which are found in
the United States with the exception
of spices and currantS. The study Of
packing condensed mince meat has ex-
tended over a period of 100 years and
today is as near its perfection as we
can possibly conceive. The sanitation
in the factories in which it is packed
is beyond reproach as the competition
today in these lines necessitates the
guarding of the most minute detail Of
the business. The apples used are of
the best grade of New York State,
where in our opinion is grown the
best favored apple known. The
raisins used are of the best quality
seeded variety. No expense is con-
sidered in procuring the very highest
grade of spices, and sugar, as we all
know, is always sugar, the different
grades merely representing the differ
ent fiavors or different granulation re-
quired for different purposes Every
particle of fruit or any other article
used in the manufacture of mince meat
is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked
by people trained to know what should
and should not be used and in this
manner the article comes to the house.
wife cleaner by far than she could
possibly take the same articles in her
own kitchen, regardless of how clean
her mince pie. The old idea of dirt
being prevalent in quantity is today
disputed by the greatest authorities on
food products. The meat used In
r1ince meat is Of the choicest and to-
day the same corn-beef which you
and 1 would use on our table is what
is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat.
There are very few pies made which
can be used as handily by the house
wife as mince meat for all ii requires
is little water and being heated for
ten minutes and it is ready for the
crust and then the table and she may
without fear of loss carry three or
four packages of mince meat in her
pantry. having it ready at any time
for the chance occurrence of unexpect-
ed company and 1t will be a good
dessert free from dirt It is our
thorough belief that a mince meat pie
made from condensed mince meat is
about as cheap a dessert as can be
prepared and yet as good.
For many years mince meat was
considered a winter dish. Each year
for the last ten our factory has had
to increase its capacity during the
summer months until today it runs
every day Of the year with a regular
force of helpers. We ship goods to
every part of the country the entire
year. This Of course means a great
increase in the use of these goods over
when mince meat was eaten only in
the winter months which means an IN
creased sale over the former winter
consumption
