HAYES GETS PLACE
Well Known Attorney, 1t is Said
 Will Succeed Pierce.

It was understood by the lawyers to-day that Representative Abner r. Hayes was appointed to the office of liquor prosecuting agent which has been held for the past seven years by Attorney Wilson H. Pierce.
 It was no secret that Attorney Hayes was looking for the office and that he had for a time some oppo- sition from his own fellow partisans. But that was all smoothed away by the hosts of MT Hayes friends. There was no particular objection to his being appointed only that MT Pierce was doing well enough there and there was no good to be derived from disturbing any of the faithful in office. This, quite naturally brought up the question, What had MT Pierce ever done for the republican party? If the fellow who does things for his party was the one who should be re- warded, MT Pierce should step down, 1t was said This was the view the appointive powers took of the sihla- ton and though not even MT Pierce Alluocil COulu say IudI uc Wco JUL VI office he said he supposed MT Hayes had been appointed his successor. MT Pierce has not been an actual resi- dent of Waterbury for the past few years, though he has not lost his vote here. He has never been active 1n the councils of his party, in fact, 1t could scarcely be said that he was even prominent in 1t.
 It was said that all the appoint ment of MT Hayes lacked to maxe it official and complete was the sigma lure of County Commissioner Thomp- son of the commission.
 The office Is not salaried one and not as lucrative as it once was The holder is paid s1O for aech case he brings to court whether or not the prosecution is successful It :s worth about $500 a year. Ol,a in a while, when, for Instance, the state police pay Waterbury visit, the re,nuner- ation has run few hu1i-el dollars aigh-r. The te-.: of appointment is fer two years and Mir Pierce's term expired last Saturday.

500, 600 Babies
Are Sacrificed
State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

At recent meeting of the executives
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food Departments,
the secretary of a state board made
the assertion, and produced figures to
prove it, that the death of nearly half
a million little children In America
last year was due to poisons admins n
tered in impure foods. n
Welcome, indeed is food that is
known to be pure and wholesome, rich
in nutrition and good to eat,-so good
that no other food can take its place.
We refer to Malta-Vita, that delicious,
crisp, whole wheat food. Among all
the cereal foods, we believe Malta Vita
is the only food that. is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else, except a little salt. It is free
from any foreign sweetening agent Or
other adulterant. and is made in abso-
Lutte cleanliness.
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta Vita and it's Just as
good three times day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract, it
is intensely vitalizing and easily dir
gested. Let your children have all the
Malta-yita they want and you need
not fear for their health. Try some
yourself with cream or fruit. You
never tasted anything quite SO good.
