The Importance of Skin Care

infectious skin diseases are irritat-

mistake made than trying to cure sucl,

creams, rubbed on the outside. You
can't cure skin diseases that way. be-
cause they are the direct result Of Ia

The annoyences Of skin troubles are
worse in spring than any other time.

MARINE SILK AT
 INSTITUTE MUSEUM
Wonderful Specimen from Collec- ton Of Late (. Antoinette Shepard

Tn the museum of natural history and art on the second floor of the New Britain Institute are many rare, curious and beautiful objects, but perhaps there is nothing it can boast of which is more interesting than specimen which comes from the deep, called pima nobilis. The late C. Antoinette Shepard, daughter of James Shepard, the local naturalist, devoted most of her life in making the large and wonderful collection of shells in the Institute museum. In order to obtain perfect specimens of some species, it was necessary to search and wait for years Perhaps there is no collection of shells in any museum which contains a more per- feet specimen of the pima nObills than the one in the Institute museum. Miss Shepard secured it after several years of search. This creature of the deep proved so interesting that Miss Shepard prepared a carefully written article entitled. Marine Silk" which is herewith published for the first time:
 Among the many novelties which industry obtains from the sea, and one of the most curious is the textile product made of the byssus of the
New Britain herald., 1916-06-28

pinnas (pinna nobilis) of the Medi- terranean-called the silk-worm of the sea. The shells are generally very fragile, resem bling in form the larger species of mussels; some of the shells attain the length of two feet In common with the mussel the pima has the power of spinning silky threads from it's body in the same manner as the spider and caterpillar. With these very fine but strong threads they attach themselves to rocks, living continually under water.
 The ancients made of this an article of commerce, greatly sought after, and robes of it called 'taren tine,' probably named from the ancient tarentum-now Taranto, Italy, where gloves, etc., are still manufactured from this material.
 "It is said that the scarf of the turban of Archytas (four centuries E. O. was made of this fiber. A pair of gloves, made from the byssus, were presented to Pope Benedict XIV. Tn the year 1754 a pair of stockings made of it, were presented to Pope Benedict XIV, which, from their extreme fineness, were enclosed ;r a box the size Of an ordinary snuff box A robe of this material is men, toned by Procopius as the gift of 8 Roman emperor to the satrap of Ar menia.
 Even in the present day the fiber is utilized, but more for it's rarity than anything else.
 "A considerable manufactory is es- tu blished at Palernos. The best pro- ducts of this material are, however, said to be made in the orphan hospi- tai of St. Philomel at Lucca.
 At the London exhibition Of 1882. V. Dessi Magnetti, of Cagliari, ex- hibited thread, cravat, and gloves made from the byssus of pima, and Mariana Randaccini shawl made of the same material

SUGGESTIONS TO
 SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
 Health.

First Almost every operation in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful periods, displacements, pain in the side, burning sensation in the stomach, bearing down pains, nervous ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
 Second.-Themedic most success ful in relieving female ills is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It regulates and strengthens the organism; it overcomes disease.
 For forty years it has been making women strong and well, relieving back ache, nervousness, Liberation and in- f1ammation, weakness, displacements, irregularity and periodic pains. It has also proved invaluable in prepar- ing for childbirth and the Change of Life.
 Third.-The great number of unso- licited testimonials on file at the Pink ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many of which are from time to time published by permission, are proof of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, in the treatment of female ills-
 Fourth.-Every ailing woman in tho United States is cordially invited to write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Go. (confdentiaD, Lynn, Mass, for special advice. Itis free, will bring you health and may save your life.

At the Paris International exhibi-

At tho Paris International exhibi- ton, in 1867, Paul Montego, of Asti AlesSandria, also showed shawls made from this fiber. This byssus forms an important article of com merce among the Sicilians, large mum bers of pima are annually f1shed up in the Mediterranean from the depth of twenty to thirty feet. An instrument called 8 "cramp" is used for the purpose. It is kind Of iron fork, with perpendicular prongs eight feet in length, each of them about six inches apart, the length of the handle being in proportion to the depth of the water. Notwithstanding the extreme delicacy of the individual threads, they form such a compact tuft that considerable strength is necessary in separating the shells from the rocks to which they are at tached.
 The tuft of silk is broken off and sold to the country women, who wash il in soap and water. They dry it in the shade, straighten 1t with a large co.mb, cut off the useless parts, and card the remainder. By these means q pound of coarse filaments is re- duced to about three ounces of fine useful thread, thus 1t requires the produce of 8 considerable number of pinnas to make even one pair of gloves.
 Various articles, such as shawls, stockings, caps, waistcoats, gloves, purses, etc, are made of this beauti- ful fiber, resembling the furnished golden hue which adorns the backs of some splendid flies and beetles The byssus from a species of pima common off Plymouth, England, has also been woven into gloves"
 In the Sheppard collection at the Institute museum is beautiful and costly scarf made of marine silk" which has attracted much attention. E

New Haven, June 28.-The Yale Battery gained several recruits yes- terday although the absence of Major . Herbert, who was not able to be present to receive the enlistnents of many who wished to join, cut down the days total. The battery is now up to it's minimum strength, but will go on recruiting. Several graduates sent in telegrams yesterday saying tthey are desirous of joining, and it Hooks now as if the battery might be able to quit the campus in about week with period of encampment at East Haven. Those who joined yesterday were Frederick Graham, 1918; Howard B. Carter. 1910; Irving Sartorius 1914 S.; and Alfred M Phillips, 1917.

had received assurances from Wash ington that the batteries will not be called into service until more time is given for training. He said:
 Tn view of the fact that my atti- tude has been represented as being feverishly desirous of getting the Yale batteries off to the front l feel it my duty to the fathers and mothers who have sons under my command and thus in my care to state publicly that if I am able to prevent it the Yale batteries will make no movement un til they are properly and fully equip ped and thus effectively armed against the sufferings and diseases of any camp which is occupied in state of semi-panic. I know that the mili- tary men in authority over me accord in my views. As in our past wars where the criminal and chaotic vol untary system has so utterly failed us this is a moment of excitement when patriotism is expected to re- place training. A great many of my nearest and closest friends are in the long, thin, weak line which now stretches into Mexico, and after losing a classmate, Lieutenant Adair, in the ambush last week. I feel most poig- nantly the need and desire of rushing to the assistance of those who are striving so Loyalty to carry out the orders of their government. How ever, with men untrained and united for field service as are members of the Yale battery the assistance we are able to render will be more prompt and more effective if our actions at this time are deliberately and care fully planned.''
