THE LIMIT OF LIFE.

The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed The critical period, that determines it's duration, seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelesSneSs then being fatal to longevity. Natures best helper after 50 is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that revi- taliZes every organ ofthe body. Guar anteed by R. H. Beers X Co.,. Newtown; Betts & Betts, Sandy Hook: P. J.

 Celebration.
I HE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 15O YEARS
 OLD.
New Chapel Open for Use
OUTLINE PROGRAM ANNOUNCED

The celebration of the one hundred
 and fiftieth anniverary of the founding of the First Congregational church of
 Brookfield will take place at the church in Brookfield Center on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 16, IT and IS. As long ago as December 1905, the church began to lay it's plans for the event, and at that time appoint ed an anniversary committee. The at titude of this body has been from the beginning one of generous hospitality. Though several hundred invitations have been sent to those who would prob ably not otherwise hear of the affair, the committee wishes it distinctly under stood that the celebration of the church 1 interests involves those of the whole | town. and therefore gives cordial l and general invitation to all Brookfeld and it's friends to attend all the func- tions. The exercises of each day will be made more pleasing by the frequent
 musical numbers given by The Brook l field Summer School of Music, under the
 direction of Prof Herbert w. Greene. This will be especially true of the clos 1 ing service of Sunday evening, which will consist of an elaborate musical program, concluding with Rossini' 8 sac
 red contata, Stabat Mater.
 The program in outline follows Friday evening at 7.30 address of vel l come by the chairman of the committee, Clarence E. Vroman, to be followed by
 four other addrsses on cognate sub jects :Q) on behalf of former mem bers, by Attorney Wilson H. Pierce of Waterbury; @ on behalf of former pastors, by Rev Cyrus w. Francis of Hartford ;(3) on behalf of the consocia- tion, by Rev Harry c. Meserve of Dan bury; (0 on behalf of the non-mem- bers, by Rev Leslie Willis Sprague of Brookfield.
 Saturday has been set aside by the committee as 'tOld Home Day." most of the forenoon being left unoccupied by definite program, to afford oppor- | tunit y for the renewal of old associa- tions and friendships. At 1.45 all will gather in and about the new chapel for

TRIMMINGS.

Fancy silk braid, embroidery to any extent, or black velvet collar and cuffs with handsome buttons comprise styles favored by the fashionable contingent. The new Panama hat turned up in any way that suits the wearer, and plain hat-band of the color of the favOrite yacht, is a sufficient garniture or firing ed scarf complies with fashions re- quirements. Soft felts are also in order or linen hats which have the ad- vantage of being cool. Yachting and tennis shoes are about the same, rub ber-soled, whether or not of the OK ford style.

a collation. and a social hour following at the tables. At 2.3O comes one of the chief features of the occasion-the de-
 livery of the historical address, by Miss
 Emily c. Hawley. Her discourse will
 deal with the history of both church
 and the town, since they were in their
 inception so intimately associated.
 This will be followed by greetings
 from Danbury, New Milford and New
 town, given respectively by Col J.
 Moss Ives, MT c. B. Marsh and Rev
 Otis w. Barker.
 Sunday morning will be devoted to
 the laying of the corner stone of the
 new chapel by the senior deacon, AL
 fred Somers, at ten o'clock followed
 by morning worship, with a sermon by
 Rev Joel s. Ives of Hartford, and the
 sacrament of The Lords supper. The closing services, to the musical nature of which reference has already been made, will take place in the evening" at 7.3O. A notable feature of this eX- ercise will be the final address, by the pastor, Rev Marion l.. Burton.
 For twenty years the church has en- tertained hopes for a chapel now these are realized in building sufficiently completed to be used in connection with this anniversary. The formal dedication will occur later in the year. An element of permanence has been added to this sesqui-centennal cele- bration through the preparation and
 publication, by Miss Emily c. Flaw ley, of book of one hundred and 1 seventy-fve pages, to which she has given months of careful research. This volume, bound in cloth boards, and con- taining fifteen chapters and an alden dunn, with sixteen full-page half-tone cuts, and the Brooks family coat of arms printed in four colors, can now be | ordered of MT Gerald B. Curtis, Brook 1 field Center, and will be delivered at l the close of the historical session on Saturday.. The low price of one-dol- l lar (which must be paid before the book can be delivered) will not suffice | to cover the actual expense of publi- cation. Only limited edition has been printed. As a memento of this impor- tant celebration, and a trustworthy | record of all early events connected with the organization of the church l and of the town, this book will be- come more valuable with every pass
 ing year, Signed, Frederick s. Curtis.

LINGERIE DRESSES.

A simple yet charming lingerie dress worn at private house on Bellevue Avenue, was made throughout of alt ernating rows of narrow tucks. and embroidered bands, in circular shape, which suited the slender girl-wearer to perfection, but absolutely prohibit i've to stout person. An amethyst cross suspended by a chain around the neck was the only ornament, and in this connection it may be mentioned, that nothing ia jewellery is so fashion able as topaz or amethyst cross
 ANOTHER LINGERIE DRESS
 Worn at the Casino by a stylish young matron, had an embroidered ruffie with scalloped edge, at the bot tom of the skirt, above which were Six-inch squares of the dress material, embroidered at the centers and edged by German Val lace These were set on the points and touching, forming beautiful heading to the embroider- ed rutfie. Rows of lace insertion from the waist were turned into points, which were carried about an inch deeD into squares. Similar ornamentation is disposed on the waist front, and a belt of embroidery did not injure the Princess effect. The short sleeves were composed of embroidered rueff1s. and rows of insertion were on sort of second sleeve, appearing just below the ruffie.
 So numerous are box coats and cuta- way jackets, that the question arises is the Eton to pass out of style?

WATERPROOF COATS.


 The Newport visitor who has observ- ed the evolution Of the waterproof coat for several seasons past, will agree that it has now reached it's culminat- ing point. A stylish rain and motor coat is an indispensa ble adjunct to summer outfit. It is evident that the Priestly Cravenette represents "the survival of the fittese'' in waterproof materials. Others have come and gone but the newest of these fabrics are unquestiOnably the choice of the elect for the smart, trim, becoming yet practical waterproof coat or shit of the season. Care however must be taken to see that the circular trade mark Craveaaette aSpears in some manner, as imita tions are but too ire quent.

TENNIS SUITS.

AS tennis is favorite diversion here, white linen suits are in the majority, made either with a short jacket, or blouse waist so as to leave the arms perfectly free. Here again, embroid- cry may be used to almost unlimited extent.
 For bathing suits at "The Pier, :" taffeta silk of brilliant colors in plaids or checks, is the leading fabric. Polka dotted stuff, or mohair in white and black, is also worn, by persons of quiet tastes. Blouse and skirt are made in one, gathered at the waist, and trous- CTS or tights are separate. Square necks and short sleeves prevail, trim med with white braid. Taken alto gether, the bathing suit of the present is gay, and sometimes not very mOdeSt-lOOking affair.

NEWPORT STYLES.
Outing Costumes. Yachting Suits. Garnitures, Panama Hats, Rubber -soled Shoes. Tennis Suits, Water proof Coats, Lingerie. Dresses.

In arranging summers outfit, the girl of to-day gives more time and thought to her various outing costumes than to her ull-dreSS attire; although in view of the exquisite lingerie and lace dresses that grace evening enter tainments, it cannot be said that the latter is neglected. Ia this gay sojourn yatchting suits are of the first import ance, and sensible styles predomindte; plaited skirts, with tight fitting or cutaway jackets, or else box coats, trimmings being an individual matter. The cardinal point is, that the yacht ing suit should be white.

to report that the rear entrance to la
dies dresses is to be abolished and that
henceforth they are to be like good

FORE The fiXers of fashion have de-
creed it and edicts of these autocrats
are oboyed implicitly as the faithful
comply with those promulgated by the
pope. Gowns, shirt waists, lace waists
and tight fitting Jackets are going to
face about and this is glorious news
for the fumbling and long suffering
husband who has played the role of
ladys maid when he wanted to be
reading the Thaw trial, smoking or
performing some other function of the
higher civilization. The husband, who
has jabbed at those little loops up and
down the spine of his beloved, mutter.
Ing imprecations the while. will joyous
ly acclaim the arrival Of the new fash.
ion, SO his wife can get into her apparel
and hook herself up without calling for
help or melting any domestic riots. The
buttoned-up-in-front fashion can't make
the trip over from Paris any too soon
to suit the Ancient Order Of Grouchy
Husbands.

HARD TIMES.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.-The man
who could tell to a certainty at Just
what moment reaction and hard times
will come would be prophet indeed.
For such one panic would have no
terrors. He could easily repair to his
cyclone cellar until the storm had
passed and then come forth to profit
even more abundantly than in good
times because of the extremities to
which others all about him had been
driven. He could, indeed, even fore
stall hard times by his very prophecy
But there is no such prophet. Whether
or not it may be said that hard times
are as certain as death, it surely is to
be said that the time of arrival is IS
difficult to forecast in one case as in
the other. In either case all signs
often fail, even when the crisis seems
imminent. To hazard a guess on just
how much longer prosperity means to
abide with us and on just when the
gaunt specter Of hard times will be
abroad in the land is the blessed priyi-
lege of every one who wishes to try
his luck or skill, but more properly
luck. More than an ordinary amount
of this guessing is now going on, but,

be called upon to offer his services
more than once year, and maybe
not that often. and still he may have
in his pocket passes for himself and
family, which might s.ve him several
hundred dollars worth of free trans
portation in a year. If newspaper
must pay cash and accept only cash,
when an exchange of newspaper space
and transportation would certainly be
legitimate If the exchange of any com
modities is legitimate, how much more
proper is it for doctor or lawyer
who sells no more to the railroad than
does the newspaper, to accept only
cash for his services and pay, cash
for the transportation he uses? If
such doctor or lawyer is an employee
of the railroad why is not every other
individual or corporation which sells
commodities to railroad company
also an employee and entitled to free
transportation?
The new anti-pass law is reform
of the proper kind, and the reform
ers In the legislature are entitled To
congratulation for the victory they
won.

IoWA,s GREAT WAVE OF MORAL
ITY

Chicago Chronicle. Violently the
Iowa legislature. which adjourned last
week, dissented from the dictum that
it is impossible to make people moral
by act of parliament.
At least, the legislature must have
believed that If .you can not make
people moral you can and should prop
erly chasten them for being immoral.
The list Of laws Of "a reform" type
enacted during the late session shows
that almost every conceivable form of
human fraility has been anticipated
and proper punishment provided
From campaign contributions to
wife desertion and from the desecra-
ton of Memorial day TO the remarry-
ing Of divorced persons in less than
year from the date of their DEGREES
the legislature exercised its activity.
All was fish that came into its net,
SO to speak, and at the close of it's
labors about the only thing that 1t
left undone was the enactment Of the
ten commandments into statute laws
of the state of Iowa. Never was there
such another frenzy of virtue and re-
form.
1t will be interesting to observe the
GllSCLS Ol ILLS SICdL luOl oil etuu AO6iol
lative awakening If within the next
few months a general quickenipg OF
the spirit snail be discernible in the
Hawkeye state, if the hostseof sin are
observed to be on the run and the
forces of righteousness triumphant,
then we shall be justified in assuming
that the wave of morality which arose
in the legislature has rolled over the
entire state and is soaking in.
If motif Satan continues to find
mischief for the Iowans to do and If
the old Adam breaks out in spots
then we must reluctantly conclude that
the theory of instilling the fear of God
into men by statutory enactment has
proved failure in Iowa as 1t has ev-
erywhere else.
1 In the meantime it will not be ad-
visable for the good people of Iowa to
begin tearing down the Jails and peni-
tentiaries. There is no telling what
may happen to render them useful
again. @
