FACIAL MASSAGE NOT ONLY MEANS
 FOR GOOD LOOKS
Turkish Baths Gives Form to Body and Restores General
 Circulation.

Beauty of face, figure and an aid to cold feet, is found by every woman in the Turkish bath.
 The facial massage has found thousands of advocates in Bridgeport, where the steaming process is applied to that part of the body alone. How much better it would be if the entire body were steamed and massage This is the argument advanced today by physical culture experts through out the land. Women are beginning to see the light of day, and Friday at the Atlas Turkish Baths, on Fairfield avenue, near Broad street, finds Bridgeport's most handsome and well groomed women Iuxuriating in the warmth under expert hands who give treatment to the entire body.
 Prof. James Atlas. for twenty years established in Bridgeport, and one of the most noted physical culture au- thorfties and trainers of America, says:
 "I have found that the Turkish bath is much more beneficial for women than for men, because of woman's physical characteristics-the way she dresses-her hereditary ailments due to generations of corsets. woman may say, T never wore them but her mother and her grandmother did, $and the result in the present day woman is seen in her cold feet. A woman as rule always has poor cir culation which is the reason for cold feet.
 "A Turkish bath reduces the con- gestion, establishes the circulation and adds to her complexion as we'll Nearly all women realize today the beneficial effect of facial massage. At a Turkish bath where female experts are employed as at the Atlas the woman gets the bodily treatment and benefit as we'll as the face and the ex- pense is not increased"
 Friday is the day devoted to women at the Atlas baths from a. m to 6 p. m.

GERMAN BANKS
 EXTEND IN 1917

Amsterdam, Netherlands, March T. 'If it is true to say that our industry is twice as rich as it was before the war, it is equally true that our big banks are twice as strong" Thus commences the years review of the German banking position in the Frankfurter Zeitung, the leading or gan of German high finance.
 According to the reviewer, 1917 was a year of amalgamations and eXten- sions in the German banking world. Many small private banks have been absorbed by their bigger brethren and the latter have branched out in the allied countries and the occupied ter ritories.
 There was an enormous increase Tn the number of new companies organ izad and of new stock issues, accord ing to the Berliner Tageblatt. One Of the largest stock increases noted is that of the German Aniline Combine.
 The condition of George von L.. Meyer, suffering from tumor at his home in Boston is much improved.

1918 CANNING SEASON
IS VITAL TO VICTORY

Never before In the history of Amer.
lea. has the canning season played
such an important part as II does this
year. House wives must can for vic
tory and can as much ms possible.
Strawberries have come and are 60
inE--for another year unless wise
housekeepers pop them into cans and
store them in cool dark fruit closets
for winter Berries of other sorts are
appearing, and from now on. practical
~ every week will bring some now
fruit or vegetable upon the market
which should be stored away for win.
ter food by the women OF America who
understand to how great an extent
their canning now means to the food
supply OF the future.
Because the food administration rec.
ognized the tremendous assistance
American women would render by
canning and preserving the 25-pound
sugar arrangement was made. Any.
one can, upon the signing OF certifi.
cate stating that the sugar obtained 10
to be used for canning aud preserving
purposes only. get ms often as is nee
essary, 20 pounds OF sugar at one
time. The certificates are held by the
retail grocer and are sent In to the
state food headquarters where thsJ
are checked and filed.

Heavy Rains

Beginning with last Friday. Meek
er and this part of White river valley
was visited with some OF the heavi-
est rains known to the history OF the
community.
The big rain occurred Tuesday ev-
| ening. In the hills back Of town and
in the Sulphur creek basin, 1t poured
down AS though n cloud had burst.
A raging torrent came down Sui
phur creek. lasting from about to 4
O'Clock. The deep, ravine-like creek,
suddenly rose till 1t flowed over Its
banks In the Sanderson field, and In
turn, the Smith ditch was filled to
Overlooking in many places.
Reaching the low fiat, near the
river, In the southeastern end of town,
Sulphur spread out and filed cellars
and first floors of all houses In that
section Of town. Fences were torn
down and gardens destroyed, and
many people lost nearly all their
chickens.
The main part of town was flooded
by the overflow of the Smith ditch.
The Meeker- Craig bridge at the
Sanderson ranch was carried away
also the bridge and water main at the
Henry corner of Market and Second
streets.
Sidewalks were carried away all
over town, and Considerable damage
done.
All told 1t was the worst storm in
the history of Meeker.
The damage in town was principal
~ due to the fact that the town gov
eminent, ofrecent years, has allowed
practically all culverts, running In
the direction of the river to be filled
up; hence there was no way for the
water to escape, other than to flood
cellars and first floors OF residences,
and-in some instances, business
houses.
This thing should be remedied be-
fore another such storm breaks on
the town.
On Wednesday evening, another
big rainstOrm struck town, but did
not do much damage.

HOOVER GIVES REASON
Low SUGAR SUPPLIES

"A number Of causes have cumulat-
ed to make our sugar position more
difficult than We could have anticipat'
ed at the beginning OF the year" says
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover In a communication
received by Federal Food Administra-
tor Thomas b. Stearns. THE In
creased shipping needed by our grow.
ing army in France has necessitated
the curtailment of sugar transporta-
ton, particularly from the longer voy-
age, and has thus reduced supplies
both to the allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some of the accessi-
BILE sugar producing areas have proved
a less yield than was anticipated such
as certain OF the West Indian Islands.
The domestic beet and Louisiana crops
have fallen below anticipation. There
has been some destruction of beet gu
gar factories in the battle area OF
Franco and Italy. We have lost sugar
by submarines.
"As close an estimate as We can
make indicates a reasonable expecta-
tIon from all sources OF about 100000
tons OF sugar for the United States
consumption during the last half OF
the present year. This Is based upon
the maintenance of the present mea-
gre allied ration. An Improvement In
shipping conditions would of course
relieve this situation as quantities OF
sugar are In unavailable markets. We
must. however. base the distribution OF
sugar during the next Six months. up
on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop will be
available.
This supply Of 10000 tons neces.
states a considerable reduction In our
consumption. To provide three pounds
of sugar per person per month for
household use. to take care Of our
army and navy and to provide for the
necessary preservation of fruit. milk
etc. will require about 100000 tons
OF sugar for the six months.-Herbert
Hoover.

The Proposed Railroad

In keeping with Information given
Mr.. John Is. Mecham, vice-president
of the Axial Development company,
came over here last Friday, and gave
us considerable enlightenment on the
projected railroad from the north.
Later, a larger delegation of the
COLON coal mine capitalists will be
here.
Friday evening well attended
meeting OF business men and all those
from the surrounding country who
could be reached, WAS held at the
Commercial club rooms, presided
over by Frank +. Sheridan and ad-
dressed by Mr.. Mecham, who, in part,
said his mission WAS to gather infor-
nation. He wanted reliable informa-
ton as to the amount of tonnage
Meeker and this part OF Rio Blanco
county would give n railroad, In case
1t was built. He had been engaged
In gathering this Information from
the people of Moffat and western end
Of Routt county, for past few weeks.
This Information was to be presented
to the railroad authorities at WASH
ington, as n preliminary to asking
the government for permission to
build the road In question.
There was no assurance that the
projected road would be built, but
there was n fair probability that it
would be. The men. back of his COM
pany were not scheining promoters;
they did not want anything in the
way Of money from the people of this
county; all they wanted WAS the in-
formation indicated; IL the resources
would justify an extension Of the road
from Axial to Meeker 1t would be
built.
A general discussion on Mr.. Me-
chants remarks followed, and finally
resulted in the selection of the follow
Ing named gentlemen to gather the
Information desired:
For the Rangely district, from
Simm's hill west-C. 4. Carney.
From Simn's hill to mouth of Piece
ance creek-F. w. Miller and Lee
Peterson.
Piceance district-Edmund Pauls
Powell park, from mouth Of Piece
