Washington, D. c., August 29.-The
presumption among the officials at the
Chinese legation is that the protection
to the commission referred to is from
mob violence. The officials however,
express the opinion that ample protec-
ton will be afforded by the local au-
thorities without the Intervention of
assistance from other governments.
Besides it is not believed at the lega-
ton that the Central government at
Pekin would permit the landing of ma
rines at the place where the investiga-
tion is to be conducted. There is, how
ever. no news at the legation in regard
to the statements in the dispatch and
in fact. there has been no information
received verifying the report OF the ap-
pointment of a commission OF investi-
cation.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

Fruit and Vegetables Plentiful With Prices
Observation-Disclosures Say the Crop is Too
Big to Bring Big Prices.
Dealers in vegetables say that there
is rarely a year that there is such a
supply and such quality as this season
The rain came soon enough to be of
benefit to all but the earliest vegetables,
and now the supply far exceeds the de-
mand Those who planted gardens are
blessed with an abundant yield, and
those who have no gardens are able to
buy at reasonable prices. A good quail
ity of green corn is coming into the
markets. String beans, peas, beets and
other small vegetables never were bet
ter. Potatoes, which two weeks ago
were scarce, are now very plenty, and
the farmers are bringing in extra fine
stock in quantities that the grocers
cannot handle them, and the price is
dropping until on Saturday some sold
them for twenty cents per peck.
Lovers of cabbage do not have to
stint themselves this season, for early
cabbage is fully headed and at the
wholesale sells as low as fifty cents for
thirteen heads. New Ravens vegrIa BILE
farmers residing a Cedar Hill, Hamden
and other nearby places all report their
crops as rank and luxuriant-the yield
big and the prices correspondence low.

DEALT IN me AK.

A changeable climate is the most exciting
cause of pneumonia. The mild to-day, cold
tomorrow, weather ista prolific breeder
of the disease. 1t is contracted by exposure
to wet and inclement weather, from stand
ing or sitting with cold feet; by going from
hot and over-crowded rooms into the keen
night air, and by sitting in draughts.
The proper way to treat pneumonia is to
prevent its development.
Have care that you are sufficiently clad
to meet Indictment and changeable weather.
See that the wet feet and exposure to
draughts do not result in cold. If cold
is contracted check it at once before pneu-
monia is developed; for it is well known
fact that a protracted cough may suddenly
develop into pneumonia, with slight add
tional cold. Don't let the disease make
any Roadway. Fortify the system against
it by rich, nutritious, liquid food. This
can be accomplished in no other way Sc
we'll as by the liberal use of Ozomulsion,

Taken early, when the first symptoms OF
the cold appear, it cures it promptly and
prevents the development of pneumonia
1t is rich, liquid food, and it is a well

FORTY NINE YEARS AGO.
THIS TURTLE VAS lLdRKED FOR
IDENTIFIC1TION.

Merritt Clark Sees the Chelon'an Marked
by His Brother, In Milford, in 1916
Another Marked Later Also Seen oc-
caslonally ON Mr.. Treats Farm.
Merritt Clark OF the East Side, Derby,
took a drive to Woodmont Monday and
visited the scenes of his childhood and
roamed over the fields which have long
been occupied by descendants of the
family, which has many branches in
this section of the state. On the farm
now occupied by Mortimer Treat Mr.,
Clark saw a curiosity which highly
pleased him, and quite bit of history
is connected with the curiosity. While
sitting in the house Farmer Treat show
ed Mr.. Clark an ordinary mud turtle.
Chiseled on the back of the turtle Were
the initials N. C. and the year 1876.
The initials were engraved on the turtle
in the year 1876, by Nehemiah Clark a
brother of the guest
In those days it was fad among the
young men to cut initials and dates on
the shell backs to see if the turtle was
domestic and how long one would live.
Mr.. Treat has seen the turtle he showed
Mr.. Clark Monday every year and al
ways in about the same place, near a
brook on the farm. Although the man
who cut the initials on the back, forty
nine years ago, has been dead forty
years, he left the facts behind him that
the ordinary turtle does not wander
away from home, and that it's life is a
long one.
Another member of the turtle tribe
was marked 1S4S, and this, too, is seen
frequently by Mr.. Treat. While now
ing in the meadow, one day, few years
ago, the latter struck the 1S4S turtle
and Clipped a piece of shell from its
of it's last walk near the brook in the
meadow The turtles are about the
same size and are nearly ten inches in
length. How old they were at the time
Mr.. Clark engraved the dates on their
backs is unknown, but one thing is
certain, that they are over a hall
century old.
The novel objects proved quite inter
esting to Mr.. Clark. After close inspec-
ton the turtle was returned to his ac-
customed haunts. They will never be
killed by anyone on the farm, and
they are to be animated heirlooms tc
go to the Clark and Treat posterity.-
