NO DIFFERENCE
OId People Just as Hnnnv ns '

Old People Just as Happy as Young,
 Age cannot wither nor custom stale the infinite variety of life.
 When the right food makes one new each day there. seems as much simple happiness when one is old as when young, but bounding health is the re- quisite and right food produces that,
 A happy woman of v tells her exper- ience:
 For three years" she says, T was greatly troubled with anervous affection of the stomach. which at last brought me to such a condition that I could neither eat nor sleep with any sort of comfort.I grew very Respondent and felt that my hold on life was very un- certain. It was difficult for me to find food that could digest. My doctor kept me on a diet of rice for a long time. but it did not seem to give me any strength.
 T am glad that at last I decided to try Grape-Nuts food, for it has done wonderful work for me. Before I had used up the first package I began to take new interest in life, and J rapid- ly increased in health and strength
 My stomach has regained it's normal tone and in the two years that Grape Nuts has been my only food, I have not had a sick day. I am 77 years old and Grape-Nuts has restored to me the pleasure of living. am sorry I did not begin sooner to use it. I cannot praise it too highly" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

MIDDLEsEx BANKING co.

Proposes to Cut It's Stock one-Ha1f.
 This long established company, en- gagged in lending money on western lands and selling debentures based on these mortgages to eastern investors, contemplates reducing it's capital one
 half by forcing it's stockholders. to take certificates of stocks for one-half the number of shares of stock paid for by them originally. It was voted to do this by somewhat more than two thirds of the outstanding stock under the au-. thority of the Connecticut corporation act of 1893, which also contains the pro- vision printed in our advertisement. Some of the stockholders represented by W. R. T. Johnston of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Edward A. Bowers of this city strongly oppose this action, upon the ground that if the corporation is irlr9 solvent, stockholders assenting to the reduction become personally liable, and that therefore a thorough examination of the company's affairs should be made by disinterested par ties, and a report submitted to the. stockholders before they are asked to vote on the question of reduction. The opposition maintains that if the, cor. poration is solvent there is nosnecessityl for the reduction of the stock, and that to cut the stock in two for the pnr- pose of making a surplus appear in the statements of the company made to the public would be misleading to investors.

BEHIND PRISON WALLS.
INVENTORS IDEAS ARE THOsE
 OF NORTY YEARS AGO.

Clever Enough fin Their Way, But Oi
 No Practica IUse-Features of Life
 in the Big Convict Institution al
 WethersfeId.
 To those interested in the public in- stitutions of Connecticut there can be no more profit derived from visit to any of them than to the prison at Wethersfield. over which Warden AL; bert Garvin presides with a degree of efficiency that is of great value to the state and society and even to the pris- oners within the walls, says the New Britain Herald. There are two things that strike the greatest force-disci- pline and cleanliness.
 There are four hundred and fifty-four prisoners in the institution, of which twelve are females. The life prisoners number fifty-fve, of whom two are wo- men-Kate Cobb and Mrs. Rathbun. Nancy Guilford, of more contempora- neous fame, has another year to serve, and save for a more pronounced shade of gray to her hair and little more pallor to her face, she is the same ap- bearing Nancy who entered the prison a few years ago for complicity in the death of Emma Gill of Southington.
 The second oldest prisoner in point of service is Charles Gilbert of New Bri-s tain, now old and rheumatic, and though an inmate of the prison for about forty years he enjoys fairly good health. Gilbert seems to have had some of the talent of an. inventor, and if it was properly developed in his youth and he had his freedom, he might have been of some mechanical use to the state. His inventions now are clever. enough in their, way so far as they show the talent of the prisoner, but being separated from the world as it were for so many years as he has been, his ideas are half a century be- hind the times. He does not realize this, however, but keeps begging away at his work, keeping his mind busy and doing no hran to any one. He sends his inventions to people whom he knew in his early days, some coming to New Britain, but only to be cast aside as worthless for practical use.
 When a prisoner enters the institu- ton he is placed in the second grade and is given a grade suit; if at the end of six months his conduct warrtnts it, he is promoted to the first grade, which is evidenced by a blue suit and carries with 1t certain privileges. but if his conduct does not warrant it he is de- nied these privileged, he is dropped to the third grade, and for seven months is garEoed in a striped suit.
 The convicts retire at S:4S o'clock in the evening, and the watchmen succeed the day keepers in guarding the prison until morning.

THE
BOOTH PREPARATORY
SCHOOL

SChOOI.
 The college preparatory course of the Booth Preparatory school will begin on September IS. The commercial depart ment of the school opens September Il and the evening session begins septem- Der 5.
 For years the Booth school has had the rank of a strictly high grade school, and it's reputation to-day is second to none in this state. MT. G. A. Booth, the principal, is a recognized leader in his profession, and his fame and popu- larity steadily increase from year to year.
 One of the distinct advantages, of the school over other schools is that spe- cial courses are adapted, to the peculiar needs of the pupil, and individual in struction is given. Parents and guar. dians before deciding upon a school for the coming year would do well to call at S6S Chapel street and examine the methods of instruction there. In order to accommodate large number of anl- bilious young men in this city who can- not get a college education Mir. Booth has arranged an evening course in en- gineering for the coming year. The course will be thorough and complete, and the instructors college men of prac- tical experience.
 For particulars as to this course, which is thorough and in every way practical, as well as for other informa- tion, circulars will be cheerfully sent or visitors welcomed.
