SELF-DOSING HABIT.
Health Bulletin Calls Many Drinks
Stronger Than Whiskey.

Secretary O. "A. Lindsey Of the state
BOARD of health publishes in the month
~ bulletin Of the board for June an ar
ticle on the drug habit as follows:
Inc following is quoted from the
ANALYST of the state board of health OF
massachusetts for the information OF
those who have acquired the dangerous
self-dosing habit. Each article men,
toned contains the per centage by vol
ume of alcohol indicated by the figures
following: Lydia Pinkham's Vegeta-
Die Compound, 2O.6: Paine's Celery
compound, 21.0; COlden's Liquid Beef
Ionlc, recommended for treatment OF
alcohol habit" 1865. Ayers Sarsaparil-
la, 26.2; Hoods Sarsaparilla, 1873;
Dana's SarsaparilIa, 1876; Peruna, 2S.5:
Hoofiand's German Tonic, mot a rum
drink 1872: Iensman's Peptonized
Beef Tonic, 1876: Schenclx's Seaweed
Tonic, entirely harmless" 1915; Bo-
ker's Stomach Bitters, 42.6; Burdock
Blood Ritters, 25.2; Hoofiand's German
Bitters, entirely vegetable 23.6; Hop
Bitters. 1910: Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, 44.3; Richardson's Concentrated
Sherry Wine Bitters. 40; Warmers
Safe Tonic Bitters, 35.7.
Beer contains only from to 5 per
cent of alcohol. Some of the above con-
tain ten times as much, making them
stronger than whiskey. far stronger
than sherry or port, with claret and
champagne way behind. There is no
doubt that the benefit thought to result
from these deceptive mixtures is due to
alcoholic stimulation. The dupes OF
these advertised compounds can get
good whiskey cheaper if they need it.

TRIP TO WONDERLAND.
St. Joseph's T. A. Society Excursion
to Coney Island.

Judging by the advance sale OF
tickets for the annual excursion of the
above named society, Waterbury and
the vicinity will be well represented
at New York aind Coney Island on
Saturday, August 9th.
Owing to the fact that this is the
first excursion in two years from Wa
terbury to Coney Island 1t is no won
der that the public at large desires to
take advantage of a days outing to
this famous summer resort.
In order to make 1t as pleasant as
possible for it's patrons the society
has made arrangements with the Con-
solidated railroad for three trains to
carry the excursionists to and back
from Bridgeport.
The first train will leave Bank
street station at a. M and will be
followed by the second shortly after.
The third train, which is for the ac-
commodation of the Ansonia and
Derby people, leaves the former place
about a. m. The iron steamboat
Sirius, which has been chartered for
the occasion to carry the excursionists
from Bridgeport, is a sufficient guar
antee that pleasant sail is in store
for those who make the trip.
To those people who have not visit
ed Coney Island the past few years,
many new and startling surprises are
in store for them.
The first object that attracts the
visitors eye is the massive tower
which rises to height of 375 feet.
This tower was built during the past
year and it attracts great deal of
attention on account Of it's architec-
tural beauty. The tower is built in
that portion of the island known as
Dreamland, and is surrounded by ever
so many new attractions, among
which are the following Bostock's
animal building, which contains spec
linens of all the wild animals known
to man, Thompsons scenic railway,
the Pompeiian building showing the
hall of Pompeii, Wormwood's dog and
monkey building. the Incubator
building in which infants are develop
ed and nourished under the care and
skill of a physician and a corps of
nurses, the Midget Village. which
contains over 100 liliputians, among
them being Mrs General Tom Thumb,
Baron and Count Magee, the Subma-
rine building which contains the in
vention known as the submarine boat.
which can be inspected by the people
who can also take trip in her be-
meath the waters of the Atlantic, af-
ter which she discharges a torpedo,
the Venetian building, trip through
Switzerland, the Japanese building,
Fighting the Flames building, An
drew Mack's fishing pond building,
and many other attractions too nu-
merous to mention
It must be remembered that the
above attraction constitutes but one
section of the island which contains
many hundreds of amusement devices
equally attractive.
Don't forget the day and date OF the
excursion, and the fare, which is
adults, $1.75; children, 81.

Condition Of The Roads.

There Is a great deal OF complaint
about the condition OF the roads,
and especially the main road lead
Ing from Louisa 10 Blaine. There
are places within the first six or
seven miles that make the road al
most impossible. SO far as iso by
wagons is concerned, a road Is no
better than the worst place In 1t,
Tor they must be loaded light
enough to get over that place.
AS important road as this
should be kept in nc least a passa-
bic condition and II may be done
at this season with comparative
ease. The public suffers heavy
loss from this condition every day
II is allowed to exist. There can
certainly be no economy In delay
Ing repairs. Tue bad places get
worse all the time and the use OF
the road for traffic is lost. II a
mud hole In the road be drained
before filling with dirt, the work
VIII be successful. Otherwise the
dirt thrown In will be converted
into mud by the water already In
the hole and the wagons aud bug
gics soon pull Il all out.
Our road workers do this almost
invariably. II is u waste Of labor,
because the nso Of the road can not
be discontinued long enough to al
low The place to thoroughly dry.
Drain he holes and tie iou places.
There Is place In the main road
below Louisa, Within 800 yards OF
the corporate limits, that is dis
grace 10 the county. A stranger
who was hero last Sunday pro-
nounced II the worst piece OF "roadp
he ever saw, and he has been all
over America, rs well as IN other
countries OF the world. IL Is inn
possible to 20 around the place, as
