This should be left on the skin about two minutes then removed and the skin washed and every trace of hair will have vanished, No harm or inconvenience can result from this treatment, but be sure you buy real delatone.

People Burning Much Less Fuel in an Effort to Conserve--More Coal is Expected This Week. The fuel situation in Kingston thaw, Controller Nickle reports. The demand for coal on Monday and Tuesday was much lighter than it was last week. People find that with the thermometer : above the freezing point they can get along with a very small quantity of coal in "their stoves and furnaces. Many people have closed off most of the rooms of their dwellings and heat only those they actually require. With the clearing of the railway lines and the improvement of trans- portation, it is expected that some coal will reach here this week. Only for the appointment of a fuel con- troller, Kingston would have had a hard time of it, but organization of the city's fuel supply and a just dis- tribution has eased the situation. Some of the smaller stores are us- ing much less coal than they other- wise would do. A few are even get- ting along with gas heaters. MILD SPELL COMES; GLADLY WELCOMED Saving Of Fuel. After the citizens had been doing their "bit" to conserve the coal sup- ply, the Weather Man also zhoulder- ed his responsibility and sent along a mild spell. Monday the weather turned quite soft, and on Tuesday morning citizens found the walking very disagreeable, However, owing to the shortage cf fuel, everyone appeared to be well pleased, for it' will certainly help out the railways to move the cars of coal which have been stalled on the road. A FRENCH OFFICER TO BE APPOINTED As Successor to the Late Prof. Lanos at Royal Military College. 'A special despatch from Ottawa to the Whig says: The French Government has been requested to name an officer of the army to succeed the late Major J. M. TLanos as professor of French at the Royal Military College. One name was submitted to the Militia Depart- ment, but this morning a cable was received announcing the withdrawal of the name. Gen. Fisét announces that a successor possibly will be nominated in a few weeks. Allies Can Break Through, Dr. Allan MacRossie of the Am- erican Red Cross, who: recently re- turned from the French front, speak- ing at the dinner of the University of Pennsylvania in Delmonico's, New York, Sunday night, said: "In a conversation I had with Gen- eral Pershing he said: 'If the French line holds the Germans back until April or May, my predicition is that nothing can stop the Allies from: breaking through the German lines and bringing the Kaiser to his nees." hg MacRossie is a native of Kings- n. display of the Hotel Switches, pompadours, tions, self-dressing. wan | LOCAL has improved wwith the coming of the !

Lindsay, Lfd. Tuesday morning a small boy had a close call. He was walking along Princess street when a monster, icicle came down with a crash and almost grazed him. The youngster was given quite a fright. *"There is no reason why the stores could mot close at eight o'clock on Saturday night," said a prominent merchant to the Whig to-day. "I think t"e merchants in their move- ment t- help out the fuel situation should decide close early on Sat- | urday."

Seven Members of Post Office Staff off on Account of Illness, Kingston's post office has been hard hit by sickness among its em- ployees this winter. At the present time there are seven members of the staff off duty on account of illness, and this makes the work very heavy, in view of the fact fhat no extra men have been provided. To-day Postmaster James Stewart was. busy engaged in sorting mail, while Deputy Postmaster Shannon had to look after the duties at the. general delivery.
