given out He declined to say what the action had been.
 Robert McNeely, another of the com- n1ittee. said that he concurred with the president in believing that informa- ton should not be given out and gave as a reason that the plan was not definitely known.
 B. P. Bishop, also member of the committee, answered when questioned that he was not the president or the secretary and didn't want to take the responsibility of making a report. He believed that the best way was to make a statement about it and thought the public would learn what was to be done by seeing what was done.

 Superintendent Graham had found that by adding seats and using vacant rooms the schools of the town could take care of 1500 more children should the need arise. This might involve transportation in some instances.

STRANGLED FOX IN
 CHESTNUT HILL cuLVERT.
Martin J. Sullivan GrappIed With Rey-
 nard, Trying to Escape.

While the section men of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road were inspecting tracks in the vi- cinity of Chestnut Hill on the Air Line division on Tuesday, they saw a gray fox ahead of them running into cul- vert underneath the track. The men ran to the culvert and blocked one end while Martin J. Sullivan with a shovel in one hand guarded the other. MT. Sullivan started to crawl in and the fox, seeing his escape blocked, made a charge at MT. Sullivan. Being taken by surprise, he dropped the shovel, grasped the fox around the neck and strangled 1t. MT. Sullivan said he had very exciting time for a few minutes, but he is none the worse for his experience and takes pride in showing his prize to his friends. The fox weighs 20 1-2 pounds.

An Unfailing Way
 To Banish Hairs
CReautY Notesl

Ugly hairy growths can be removed in the privacy of your own home if you get small original package of delatone and mix into a paste enough of the powder and water to cover the hairy surface. This should be left on the skin about minutes, then re- moved and the skin washed and every trace of hair will have vanished. No harp or inconvenience can result from this treatment, but be sure you buy real delatone.

TILE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

In these times of elevated prices
we are inclined to blame the butcher
and grocer, but perhaps these fig
ures from Wallace's Farmer, an au-
thority on farm and stock matters.
will shed some light. It says that
during the ten years from 1908 to
1913, the population has increased
22 per cent. Horses increased in
numbers 24.2 per cent and 121 per
cent In value; mules increased 97.4
per cent in numbers, and 176 per
cent in value. Dairy cattle increased
1872 per cent In numbers, and 78
per cent in value. Other cattle de-
creased 1913 per cent in numbers.
and increased in value 1872 per cent.
That is the total value is Is per
cent greater than ten years ago, in
spite OF decrease OF numbers of
nearly 20 per cent. Sheep have de-
creased 1915 per cent, about the
same as cattle, but have also de-
creased 2.6 in total value. Hogs have
increased 33.9 per cent In numbers
and increased in total value 65 per
cent. 1t does NOT look like we would
eat any cheap meat very soon.

Song hnd Surgery. !. !.

DR.. Evan O'Neil Kane, Of Kane,
Pennsylvania, has introduced music
into surgery, in an effort to dispel
the gloomy atmosphere of the oper-
ating room. He has a phonograph
Just outside the door of his operat-
ing room, and thinks the music di-
verts the patient and helps him to
enter under the influence of the an
aesthetic more easily and cheerfu!ly
This doctor has also discovered
that patient that has undergone an
operation may be restored to con-
scious placidness by the music being
resumed on the first stirring from
the profound slumber.. The natural
impression is that the music has
heen heard without interruption, and
consequently the perils he has under
gone will not be uppermost in his
mind. Psychology is rapidly becom-
ing an important factor in surgery.

High Cost of Living.


AlgOna, Ia, Dec. FRIDAY, Nov.
"a, was Suburban Friday" in Algo-
ma. 1t was the result of an effort on
the part of the merchants to widen
their trade territory and appeal to
people to come from far and near to
shop.
Each merchan. advertised one ar
ticle at remarkably low price for
the one day only. BY mutual agree
ment each advertised something diff
ferent from his competitor. The re-
suits were surprising and everyone,
both merchants and customers, were
more than pleased. Farmers came
in from miles around to take advan-
tage of the numerous bargains offer
ed, and the increase in sales was be-
yond all expectations. One grocer
sold thirty barrels of apples, his spe-
cial; dry goods man sold 2,7O0
e-ds Of outing flannel.
During the afternoon the ladies
OF the Home Economics club served
hot coffee and loughnuts In. the com
munity rest room.
