MONKEY GLANDS
 CALLED USELESS
Medical Men Hear Attack on
 RejuYenatiOn Claims

Atlantic City N. J, May 27.- (AP)-Popular faith In monkey gland connections as q medium for remuneration was given a severe blow here yesterday afternoon by Dr. Bernard Colip of Edmonton. Alberta, in addressing tho ninth an- nual convention Of the association for the study Of internal secretons. This body is in session in conjunction with the current meeting here of the American Medical association.
 The connections attacked by Dr. Collip included, besides the widely explaited monkey gland derivatives, those from black oxen and goat glands.
 Dr. Collip, who is a well known Canadian chemist, discussed q paper on the parathyrod gland of the neck, announcing that after experl- menting sjt had been discovered 1t was possible 10 make an extract from the parathyroid gland which might possibly be used on the hu- man body for treatment Of various diseases, such as COnVulsions and epilepsy and ailments caused by inn proper elements in the blood. The gland apparently controls the salt percentages in the human blood, he said.
 In experimenting, stated Dr. Collip. glands have been removed from the neck of dog and almost immediate ly afterward the animal went into continuous ConvulsiOns, By inject ing with hypodermic needles an ex- tract prepared from the gland the dog recovered from the fit and ap- parontly became normal.
 Thr eXperimentors have kept the animal alive, only by injecting daily, some of the extract. Dr. CoIlip pointed out they have not learned enough about the natures or effects of the extract thus far 10 risk try ing it on a human being, but they are hopeful it will prove beneficial as a remedial agency.

IN the important matter of soap, many wom- \ en mistake harshness for cleansing ability and cheapness for economy. And so they feel it necessary to buy different soaps for different tasks.
 You have probably often asked yourself "Is it possible to find Ont soap that is actually best for every purpose? One soap that will cIrar5r, yet save my hands"
 We are sure of it, but it must be very re- markable soap.

 For 46 years Ivory Soap has fulfilled every one of these requirements.
 lvory's abundant suds penetrates pores and fabrics, cleansing them efficiently and rinsing out quickly, with never a suggestion of harm to the most delicate skin or the most precious garment,
 And it is economical. Ivorys price alone would not be conclusive evidence - it is the amazing value which that price represents and the very real savings in clothes and hand-otons that come from lvorys use.

PLANS FOR AUTOMATIC FIRE ALARM
SYSTEM IN NOCALES APPROVED
BY STATE RATING BOARD

Alderman Sugg took maps Of
the city showing where the fire
alarm boxes will be located, and
line construction for the proposed
new system. The rating board
checked over the maps and ap-
proved the whole thing without
a single change.
After the fire alarm system b
completely installed, the council
will put on three paid members i'm
the fire department.
The rating board showed the No
gales men figures where Nogales
paid during 1924, total Of $780,
997 in insurance premiums. The
saving in insurance premiums,
which will be effected by putting
in the automatic fire alarm sys-
tenn, and three fully paid men ON
duty at the fire house, which is
a credit Of Is 1-2 percent Of the
premiums paid by the people Of
the city, will, based on last years
figures. amount to $8,234.6O per
year, which is q great deal in ex-
cess Of what It will cost to MAIN
tain the three paid firemen and
the automatic fire alarm system.
Now that the preliminary work
for the fire alarm system has
been disposed Of, the city admins
tration intends to direct it's ef-
forts toward the elimination Of
paving program as soon as pos
sible. albeit, there are many OBJ
stacles still to be overcome before
