lief from persons thrown out of work adding to the burden of the welfare department, the probabil- ity of keeping within the budget seems to be diminishing.
 It is too early yet to state defl- nitely one way or the other, but unless business conditions change rapidly here now, Superintendent of Welfare Leo Scully will have to do well to avoid a deficit.
 His report, made last night at the December meeting of the well fare board, showed expenses for the eight months of the fiscal year end- ing November 30 were $45, ,027 3l. The appropriation was $575O0 and the department has received 6 total of $5,245.44 in unapproprlated in- come and miscellaneous credits. This makes 6 total of $62, ,745.4 available and leaves a balance of $l7,7i8.13.
 Supt. Scully expects to receive soon $5, ,490.32 from the commissions CT of welfare in Hartford for state cases here during the quarter which ended September 90, 1887. This would make the total available $23 3,208.45.
 And the credit for the final quar- ter of the fiscal year, that IS Jan- uary, February and March, will not be returned here before the fiscal year which means the department will have to spend about $5,000 on state cases for which 1t will not be recompensed during the present fiscal year.
 Supt. Scully said the figures in the report presented last night would not show much of the recently added burden caused by slackness of em- ployment here.

A Scalp Treatment for Dandruff
ard Falling Hair
Now that summer is definitely
over and d1 fall of the year is
here, the wise woman will take a
retrospective view of her physical
charm.
How about your hair, the crown
ing point of a woman's glory?
TIE sun, wind and hot weather
are very pleasant. but leave dras-
tie effects on the hair. They reach
its pigments, dry up natural oils,
leave the hair dull, drab and coarse.
Now is the time for that scien-
tific scalp treatment. The treatment
we are stressing is given with the
Aruao Electric Steamer. It exer-
cises the scalp. produces active
circulation, provides nourishments,
softens the hair and loosens sur
face deposits. r'-~a~
There are five steps that we fol-
low in giving these electric scalp
treatments. They are brushing,
saturating with oil, massaging and
steamin9.
