PARAMOUNT WEEK
 IN LOCAL THEATRES
Early Fall Crowds Attest Their Satisfaction With the Super-Showings.

Depression in the motion picture industry is now definitely a thing of the past, according to Adolph zukor, president of the Famous Players Lasky Corporation, who announced yesterday that Paramount pictures are being shown this week. Septem- Der to 10, 1000 theatres, MT. Zukor the United States.
 All fthe leading local theatres are featuring "Paramounts'' this week.
 Never before have so many theatres united in showing one brand of mo ton pictures to the exclusion of all others, last years record having been exceeded by 100 theatres, MT. Zukor said.
 "A national demonstration for bet ter motion pictures is what exhib- itors are calling this fourth annual Paramount week. The increased bookings contracted for by these the atre owners and managers indicate to MT. Zukor that industrial condi- tionS have taken a turn for the bet ter, and that times are actually more prosperous now than a year ago.
 ''The old days of factory-made pie lures, ground out with no other high CT aim than to meet release dates, have passed" according to Jesse L. Lasky, in charge of production of Paramount pictures.

Beauty Chats
By EDNA KENT FORBES

In a recent letter a Reader Friend tells me that I have not written any thing for long time about taking ASar-agar as means Of improving the complexion, She had read about this some time ago but wanted some more specific information.
 Agar-agar is well known to chem ists and doctors, but it's use as a beauty treatment is more Or less re- cent. It is Japanese seaweed which is dried and which, when purchased in drug stores, comes in the form of fine white flakes. You cannot digest it. When you eat it it forms a soft mass like gelatin inside the stomach. through the entire bowel system, pushing ahead of it all waste and poisonous matter apt to collect there.
 It is well known, of course, that the feces inside the bowels often stay in the system for weeks and months, fastening to the lining of the tubes and daily growing harder and more poisonous. The blood, coming in con- tact with this, naturally becomes poisoned, and as it must rid itself of the poisons, it deposits them in the skin, causing pimples, large pores and blaekheads, and often upsetting the whole digestive system. The Agar agar slowly pushes this hard waste, cleaning and purifying the body, keeping the bowels regular, and the complexion clear.

SLOGAN MADE
 ." US ALL THINK
(Communica,ted)

This slogan of the Community Chest campaign of last April, bids us stop to think. Consider in a city of number of victims oftubercuIar trou- ble which it is bound, under present conditions at least, to have, what it means to the community and to the afflicted alike, to have an organiza- uon such the Employees Tuber- culosis Relief Association to aid in putting the afflicted ones in touch with the best of treatment, in making t possible for them to go to one of the splendid State Sanatoria without financial burden to the family and without tax upon their own resources.
 Furth ermore the E. T. R. A is not a charity. It is mutual organization in which every member has his obli- gation in time of health and his right to the benefits provided should it become his lot to need it.
 The Sanatoria provided by the State for adults at Shelton, Hartford, Gaylord Farm, and Norwich, for children with pulmonary tuberculosis at Meriden. and the Seaside Sanato- rum at Crescent Beach for bone tu- beroafosiS in children are all places that offer excellent treatment, a plea ! sant place to rest and to make the i best of the fight.

Efficient Housekeeping
 By LAURA A. HERMAN.
THE
 CLEANING CLOSET

A well-stocled cleaning closet is a joy to the heart of a good house keeper. TNle following implements all come under the head of necessi- ties:
 A vacuum cleaner, preferably one that is electrically run, but otherwise one that is hand-run- A vacuum cleaner is great labor-saver and not as expensive to run as most housekeepers think. An electric cleaner costs only about one and one-half cents an hour to operate.
 A good broom is another necessity, as a broom can get into places where it is not so convenient for a vacuum cleaner to go.
 A wool wa1l-mop is an essential also. The particular housewife rubs down her walls with one of these
 each month, taking the rooms in
 turn.
 Hardwood and painted floors re-
 quire 1cng-handled, soft, hair brush.
 For polishing, an oiled string mop is
 good.
 And an ordinary wet-mop is of course a necessity for kitchen floors, porches. etc. or one of the mop-han- dles to which a. floor cloth may be attached. A mop wringer and pail complete this outfit ng-handIed dust pans are now
 on the market and many women are | taking advantage of them; for, aI- though they are a little awkward
 to empty, they do save the house.

 built especially to go between the pipes. These are invaluable. A

 cleaner. she will need a good w9lisk broom for upholstery; otherwise the vacuum cleaner attachment will be all that is necessary Although the wet floor mop takes the place of the ofd-fashioned scrub
 ping brush in most cases, still it is a splendid thing to have a scrubbing
 brush on hand for any unusually
 heavy cleaning, or for scrub'bing un-
 finished wood.
 Under the general head of ..Dus- ters' may be grouped: dustless dus- CTS (che emica1ly treated with oil so
 they hold dust), soft cheesecloth cloths neatly hemmed to avoid rav- there is no lint on a silk cloth), and chamois skins for window cleaning. Other essentials are: floor cloths for drying the floor after wet-m op- ping, a rattan carpet beater, a roomy pair each of cotton and rubber gloves, sweeping sheets of unbleached mus lin, sweeping caps and aprons, re- frigerator brush (made of long, f1eX- ible wire), a Step-ladder, utility basket for carrying small implements from one room to another, and fur lniture-polishing cloths.

 Neal, by the time we get through postponing our wedding for all the people who think their whims are more important than our happiness we'll be old and gray" she said with a little laugh that caught in her sob.
 Neal seized her hand in his and drew her close to his side. And so we walked in silence to the taxi. Perhaps he, too, was judging his father a little unkindly, but there was nothing I could do about that. At any cost Father Andrews se- cret, which concerned no one so much as them, had to be kept from them.

 After a polite little protest or two, the kfddies drove me to the apart nent and I hurried upstairs, dread ing the loneliness that would be sure to plunge me into the misery I'd been staying off all day.

THE NEW FUR LAW.

New Orleans, La, Nov. rs, 1921.
Some time ago the Louisiana De-
partment of Conservation issued in
formation relative to the extension
of the shipping privileges to fur
trappers under the Nunez amendment
to the trapping law. The regulations
of the new fur law are now in ac-
tive operation. The law provides that
trappers secure hunting and trap
ping license by the payment of 81.
Under this license a trapper may
ship his own catch out of the State
after payment of the severance tax
Of 2 per cent of the value of the
shipment to the Department of Con-
servation and securing the necessary
tags issued by the department. Tags
will be issued at once to any trapper
who sends the department a state
ment Of the number and kinds Of
pelts to be shipped, together with 2
per cent of the average prices paid
by dealers.
At prices prevailing, at present the
taxes will be approximately as fol-
lows on the more important sorts of
skins: Muskrat, y cent; opossom,
Y cent; skunk, 2 cents; raccoon, 8
cents; mink 5k cents; otter, IS

Blood Builder, ArOuSeS
Dull Faculties

Many man and many a woman
feels all out of sorts from thin, weak
ened blood. The least little thing gone
wrong throws them into a wild form
of dependency. Instead of bracing
up and meeting ordinary difficulties,
they are downed. Nerves are on edge,
Appetite lags. Sleep is restless. They
are weak and tired and dull. Poor
blood works its havoc till the will
loses its power. Few people who fall
into habits Of worry and dependency
realize that most of their troubles are
due to lack of endurance-to blood
that has become weakened by over
work or straining.
Healthy men and women with rich,
red blood see things brightly. They
tackle life with zest and 60 along

'durance.
