PRODUCE REVIEW

More and more young chickens
are coming to market each week.
While the supply Of fowl has not
been large, it has been more than
necessary for current use and the
market on both live springs and foSl
has declined this week. This condi-
ton has been reflected in lower
prices in producing centers.
Receipts of fresh eggs are about
normal for this season of the year.
Quality is reported generally good
and prices on good eggs are ruling
a little higher than a week ago.
Production of butter continues
heavier than a year ago. There is
still a surplus over current require
ments and this is being placed in
storage. Storage stocks are large,
considering the probable outlet.
There were no marked price changes
during the week.

To be strictly accurate in the
matter of detail, you should recline
among cushions when you read this
article.
The dictionary describes "Sym-
postum" as "a convivial feast end
ing with an intellectual treat com
prising extracts form the writing
and sayings of a number of people
on a given subject"
Unfortunately, the convivial part
of today's feast must be limited, so
far as l am concerned, to flow of
words. You to whom they are ad-
dressed, may augment that simple
and your own in chnation..
The symposium element, however
will include information of varied
character, CLEANED from various
sources and arranged in honor of
the many friends who have honored

posts of fat. The head should be
held high so that the chin will not
bury itself in the neck. Sleep with
the head on a small pillow and have
the chin massaged. A rubber band
age could be used at night to hold
the flesh in place, or even a thin,
soft towel can be fastened securely
over the chin. BY causing free pres
piration this gradually reduces the
flesh. In massage the fingers of
each hand should be placed on the
back of the neck near the base of
the brain, with thumbs under the
chin and palms up. The thumbs
should pass with heavy, rotary
movement over the rolls of flesh
from the chin to each side todard
the ears. A solution made of three
parts camphor water and one part
alcohol into which the fingers can
be dipped frequently aids the value
of the massage.
1t is impossible to mention in print

not recommend anything injurious.
A vibrator is usually beneficial.
especially if some good, pure cream
or flesh food is applied to the face
beforehand,just as would be done if
the massage were given by hand.
Dottie's question can be answered
only partially this time. To develop
any part of the body the muscles
must be strengthened and stimulat-
ed to increase the deposition of ad-
ipose tissues. For this purpose the
use of vacuum massage cup is
better and more gently effective
than manual treatment. 1t should
be given daily, together with a lib
eral use of cocoa butter, olive oil or
lanolin. There should be no hard
pressure. The object is merely to
stimulate the circulation of the
blood in a gentle manner, causing IT
to deposit new tissue in the part of
the body manipulated and deveIop-
ing it to almost any desired size.
Before the massage, however, warm
water should be applied to soften
the skin and open the pores; after
the massage cold water should DO
used.
Mrs. W. has tried various depila-
tories without benefit but I am sure
if she will try Electrolysis she will
have no more trouble with the sup
erflOus growth on her chin.
E. A. says the sulphur and sage
mixtures make her permanently
white hair look yellow. She asks if
walnut is any good. l wrote so
much about gray hair in a previous
article that it seems hardly neces-
sary to write more. No dye can be
used for CRAVING hair that will not
be more or less apparent. Where
one preparation may tend to give
the hair yellowish look, the other
will give it dead, false appearance
far more unlovely and really more
indicative of advancing years than
the natural gray hair. Help the
gray hair along by an effective Golf
fure and instead of killing it with
lotion, stimulte its life and lustre
by the very best care.
l.. ii. is troubled with an oily
scalp. That is a condition that us
ually requires treatment and will
have to be answered by letter be-
caute she must have medical
prescription. One thing she must
not do, and that is to continually
washed her hair, thinking that soap
and water will eliminate the grease.
A few hours after a shampoo her
hair will be as greasy as ever. The
reason is that the glands are not
performing their functions properly.
An astrngent lotion is necessary.
The chances are that a pcrsvu with
oily scalp has also a somewhat oily
skin. Great care should be exercis-
ed as to just what astringent lotion
is applied in order that no harm be
done.

At the regular meeting of the
local musicians union Tuesday
night, the membership of Harry
Miller, the organist who is scabbing
on the striking musicians at Yakima,
Wash, WAS revoked, and his stand
ing with the American Federation OF
Musicians entirely abolished.
Miller was still a member OF the
Butte union, having gone to Yakima
on a travelling card. According to
local musicians, Miller borrowed
money from the local in Butte to
go to Yakima, after having been re-
fused by the manager of the theater
here. He is now working for the
same manager who also has gone to
Yakima. Miller is said to be a mem-

The old tactics, the same as
used in Butte and Anaconda in the
1917 strike, are being employed by
the companies and their stooi-pl-
geons in the strike at Phillipsburg,
called to force the owners to pay
the scale of wages paid at other
properties in the vicinity, according
to word received here this morning.
Last Sunday night the miners
held a meeting and voted to strike
and the walkout was called imme-
diately. The next day, according to
miners, the business men of the
camp were busy mobilizing the
stools of the town to defeat the
workers. Another meeting was
called by business men Monday
night and the strike was voted
down by office boys, business men
and stools-in fact, everybody but

Chicago, July 22.-There is new
hope for Tom Mooney and Warren
4. Billings, victims of one of the most
amazing conspiracies of history. All
the strength of the new farmer-labor
party of America will be put behind
their fight for a new trial. BY an
overwhelming vote, the joint conven-
ton pledged itself to enter that fight.
So the presidential nominee, Par
ley p. Christensen and his running
mate, Max S. Hayes, and a host of
other speakers will go up and down
che land telling as part OF their ar
gu1nent for revolutionary social
change in this country the terrible
story of what was done to Mooney
and Billings.
