gown of blue georgette, with silver
trimmings, and a tulle veil with silver
;bandeau, She carried a shower bou-
quet of butterfly roses and maidenhair
fern, and wore the groom's gift, s.;
white gold wrist watch. Little Iletin

Scale in steam boilers throughout the country
costs owners a whale of a lot of money in ever

The use of
ROBINSON'S 'BOILER COMPOUND
would stop this entire waste.
Thirty years of experimental work and tests on
all makes and sizes of boilers under all sorts of
conditions has . brought results never before
equalled by any preparation or compound. This
compound has never failed to clean a boiler,
however heavily coated; furthermore, it prevents
the formation of further scale.
Robinson's Boiler Compound attacks the scale
the moment it is injected or pumped into the
boiler. Additional water when required does not
interfere or diminish its effect. Used every two
weeks until the boiler is clean, then monthly
thereafter.
