BRIDGEPORT,s REGATTA.

All the Fast Beats VIII be Out Com
 testing for the Prizes-Crowds Will
 Attend.
 BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 10.-Next Thursday will be lively day On the water off Bridge port harbor. The race for the $135 Citi- zsns' cup will take place on that day over the usual triangular course and it will be 8 breezy one if the boats that are expected put in an appearance.
 The cup is now held by Captain Hitch cock, who won it with the Zephyr, and Charles H. Morris of the Hornet, the fast little craft that has ones held it, issues the challenge. Whether Captain F. I. Hitch cock will defend the cup or not is not known, but it is probabls that he will not because he has parted with the champion Zephyr and has no other. AS the official | entries are not in 1t is impossible to even conjecture at this time who the next hold
 CT of the cup will be. The race is open tc
 all boats in Connecticut under thirty feet
 in length.
 The cup committee who have charge oi
 the regatta are William F. Brooks and A. H. Davis. Among the boats to compete l with Captain Morris of the Hornet for the ] honor of holding the cup will probably be the Ramona, lively Westport boat owned 1 by Captain Jennings. Captain Jones of
 the Phyllis of Greenwich, is another who
 has been invited to contest, and the pres
 ent owner of the Zephyr, Westport man, 1 will surely enter his boat.
 1 In the oyster hset class A. A. Bonds
 boat, the Samuel o. Bond, is regarded as g ! likely winner of the pennant which W. B. Hall & Co. offer, although Stanley Lownds | of Five Mile River, with his Lola L the winner of the Roton Point regatta, will prove worthy rival. There will also be many other entries.
 As there are to be several hundred mem bers of the Sohnorer society of New York at Pleasure Beach on Thursday the interest of the occa.ion will be greatly enhanced and everything points to most successful regatta.

How the Health of Children
 May Be Preserved.

How the Health of Children
 May Be Preserved.
 Mothers of New Haven, read what's There is an epidemic of indigestion and cholera infantum in this and other States. Heath boards everywhere are reporting a startling fatality from cholera iufantum.
 Physicians say that in nearly every case the child is poorly fed and nourished, and hence the disease.
 "It is absolutely certain" says physi- clan in one of the medical journals, speak ing of the alarming summer mortality among his patients, that the cause ot this high death rate among infants IS lndl- gestion."
 At the beginning of summer the best physicians gave warning that pure food mnst be used for babies. That this warn ino did not reach every city and town in this State is evident from the high infan- tile death rate But in those places where the newspapers published the discussions that were going on, large quantities of lac tsted food were sold and this best of diets for children was used. The result is, sta tistics show that fewer deaths have occur red in those towns and cities where the larger amount of lactated food was used.
 Comparisons of this sort are absolutely convincing.
 August is a fatal month for the little ones, and unless lactated food is used, the local physicians gay that the dreadful nor tality and iucreasing amount of sickness among children will continue.
 The one safe plan is to feed infants on lactated food.

An old Townsmaa.

Charles s. A. Davis of Plainfeld, N. J., writes to the Register concerning the Lines building at the northeast corner of Custom House Square, that has just been removed. He says:
 I do not see why the building should be called the Lines building, as it was the property of James Atwater, who kept 8 grocery store there during the war of 1872. After peace was declared he gave up the business and rented the store to George
 Genhsm as 8 meat market. He occupied ir until 1920 or '21. After he left the store 1t was occupied by Major Lines as liquor store for 8 number of years. Later it was occupied by Bennett Peck of Woodbridge as liquor store, and after few years he removed his business to New York, and then Albert T. Atwater, the son of James Atwater, rented it for liquor store, and after several years sold out his business to Lake & Stanley-Birdsey Lake and Ed ward T. Stanley.
 In few years Stanley withdrew from the concern and went into the coal busi ness. MT. Lake continued for severA
 years after, but who the occupants of tn
 store were after he left do not know.

Headache and Dy,peps,a,

William E. Rockwell, No. 512 West Fifty seventh street, New York, says:
 'I have been 8 martyr to bilious head ache and dyspersia. Any indiscretion in diet, overfatigue or cold, brings on fit of indigestion, followed by headache lasting two or three days at time. I think I must have tried over twenty different remedies, where were recommended as certain cures by loving friends, but 1t was no use. At last thought would take a simple course of purgation with Bran drsth's Pills. For the first week took two pills every night, then one pill for thirty nights; in that time I gained three pounds in weight, and have never had ar ache or pain since."

CENSUS OF THE BLIND.

Steps Taken by the State Board to Obtain an Enumeration. Secretary Frank E. Cleaveland of the
 board of education for the blind has re-
 gently sent the following circular letter 10
 each of the 16S town boards of selectmen
 in the state:
 It is provided by section 65 of the Gen.
 eral Statutes of this state as follows: "The selectmen of each town shall re-
 turn to the governor on or before the first
 day of November, annually, the number
 of deaf and dumb and blind persons there
 in and the age, sex and pecuniary circum-
 stances of each"
 This provision has undoubtedly escaped
 the attention of the selectmen of your town, as we find no record of any return
 made to the governor during the past year
 according to it's provisions. At the last
 session of the legislature g board of edu-
 cation of the blind was created and
 intrusted with the duty of ascertain ing and recording the names of all
 blind persons in the state, and with the same duties pertaining to the education of the young enjoined upon the other state board of education. We must first learn from the selectmen what persons are to come under our care and supervision. We tneTeIOEe asK Inag you VIII cH6erIully CO., operate with us in this matter. You will observe that the return to be made by you must include all blind persons of whatever age. The term blind persons, by law, when applied to those of 8 school age, in oludes those who by reason of defective sight are unable to attend and study in the public schools. There is tendency on the part of parents of young blind chill dren to keep them out of sight of the pub lic. This makes the most persistent in quiry necessary in order to discover them. We have, therefore, prepared blanks for the clergymen residing in your town, re- questing them to bring the matter before their congregations and make return of
 the result to you, which, together with the
 blanks especially designed for your use, we request be returned to this board, of which the governor is president.
 The short time within which this infor-
 nation must be collected to enable us to
 make cur report and provide for the ad- ! mission ot the children to the institution
 for the coming school year, impels us to | urge upon you the necessity of its receiv- | ing your earliest attention.
 The board has established 8 permanen t office in room No. 27in the state capitol.
