THE BAND CONCERT.

The South Britain brass band gave an open lair concert, Saturday, June 4, as previously advertised in THE BEE. The time was set at 8p. m., and the place selected was the green in front of the Methodist parsonage, as being centrally located. Long before the appointed time the center presented an animated scene, as scores of teams were driven in from Southbury, Wood- bury, and the surrounding towns, and an old inhabitant made the remark, that he could not ever remember sec ing so many people of an evening at one time, there being from 300 to 400 people present. The green was light ed with lights, kindly furnished by the Hawkins Go. The program con- sisted of choice selection of music and was played tremendously through out, discords being conspicuous by their absence. The band only having been organized a few weeks, much credit is due to their leader, c. B. Pierce. The concert was a decided success, judging from the spectators words of approval. Another concert is being arranged for and will probab ably be given in the near future.

FoLLlEs IN MEMS DRESS.
Male Attire Fails in Even Distribution
of Protective warmth,

Male Attire Fails in Even Distribution
of Protective Warmth.
That a dress reform for men from
practical and hygienic point of view is
badly needed there is no doubt What
can be more ridiculous than cutting
the front of the vest and coat away
and thus expose chest, lungs, throat,
ETC., to the inclemency of the weather,
giving rise to serious Illness? What
sense is there in constructing the back
of vest with d mere, thin lining? Do
| tailors imagine that the spine requires
less protection than any other part Of
the body. What practical use Is there
in wearing collars high enough to out
shade the old-fashioned father mu1-
ders," collars that prevent the free
movement of head and neck, and tight
enough to seriously interfere with the
proper function of several organs?
1t is ignorance, spure and simple. and
it is enc of the physicians duties to
enlighten the public ON the necessity of
considering their health before fash
lon, ignorance, and folly. Wherein the
male attire fails is the even distribu-
ton of protective warmth One part
OF the body should be as warm as the
other. But not enough that the pres
ent style of dress makes this an i'm
possibility, to flatter mans vanity (pre-
sumabiy), tailors have acquired hab-
it of padding the coats ito improve the
figure" and thereby introduce another
element of unequal distribution of pro-
lection.
AS a proof of how little men care
about this improvement" it may
safely be stated that nine men out of
teri do not know where their coats are
padded, or that they are padded at all,
and then they wonder why in a biting
wind they should feel cold in one
shoulder and not in the other. If ply
sicians called the serious attention OF
men to these anomalies in their cloth
ing and inculcated in them correct by
gienic principles of dressing they
would take great step in the direc-
fion of preventing disease.

lighting Roadside Weeds.

In some States there are county laws
which make it obligatory for those in
charge of the roads to see that road
side weeds are cut twice during the
growing season. first before July and
the second time before the first of
September. 1t would be well IL such
a law was in force III all sections,
and yet the fighting of obnoxious
weeds seems TO be one of those things
for which no law should be required.
Farmers ought TO he more than will
ing 10 combine among themselves for
mutual protection, even going so far
rs 10 cut the weeds in front of the
farm of any man who will not do the
work himself This would not need to
be done very often. for shame would
soon compel such man to do his
duty.
The main trouble with weeds. how
ever, is with such as are allowed to
grow inside the fence line. for few
farmers are willing to spend the time
necessary TO rid their farms of these.
Combine with each other to rid the
roadside of weeds. and then let every
man take care of those inside the
fence and elsewhere on his farm. If
this weed fighting was done systemad-
cally instead of spasmodically, ii
would not require many years to de-
cldedy lessen the weed crop and ma
terially increase the valuable crops as
we'll as save much Exchange.

Artichokes for Hogs.

Artichokes are naturally more suit
ed for the use OF the hog than for the
use OF any. other stock. for the reason
that the hog will do his own digging.
The crop is usually ready for the dig
ging about September. The porkers
can continue the good work till frost
hardens the ground. The freezing does
not lnJure the artichokes, and if they
have not been we'll dug out in the fall
the hogs may be again turned in in

growing of this crop is that il does
rot have to be planted each spring, but
GENES up of itself. The exercise the
hogs receive when digging the tubers
is benefit to them.
