LONDON COPIES our METHODS.

English Papers Are Breaking Away
From Ponderosity and overcaution.
e. T. Tandy told the other lay OF
the efforts being made by London's
newspapers to copy New York meth
DDS. He spoke at some length OF the
more or less pitiful attempts by Lon
don's editors to produce "newsy" pa
pers, for in breaking away from the
pcnderous old style sheet they are
hampered by an absolute lack OF
knowledge Of the new sort. English
men are naturally conservative to the
point of sticking In the mud and tenn
ing 1t proper caution" said he. Dur
ing one OF his recent visits to New
York Lord Northcliffe. the greatest
OF English editors, saw that every re-
porter on the New York papers pre-
pared his copy on a typewriter. When
ne returned to London he ordered
that iypewriters be installed for every
man on his staff. ell walked into The
news rooms and viewed the improve
ment With pleasure. Six weeks after
lie entered the news rooms again, Ey-
cry typewriter was still there, but
not one case had ever been opened
But that isn't the best story told on
the conservatism bf the Engiish
newspaper man.
One OF the great London editors
came over here not long ago and waa

AS a result, he sent bis chief engi

A "HAYSEED" DINNER.

A very enjoyable time was spent at
 the residence of MT and Mrs Joseph
 Jacobs on Saturday, the 9th. The novel
 "Hayseed" dinner was served at 2.3O D. m., in a large, cool grape arbor. The decorations consisted of golden rod
 and wild asters arranged in punches around the table. In the center of the l table there was miniature pond and
 scenery. During the meal an orches- tra rendered some selections. The
 menu consisted of the following: Hank 6 Si soup Entree
 Ba-Ba Cranberry Jelly Salad
 Lettuce Roast
 Chicken on toast Dead Beets Where has my Lima Bean? Fodder Hereafters
 Pie Potted Cheese The Unknown Candy.
 ' The lima beans were served from
 dishes made of pumpkins; the beets
 from dishes made of green peppers. At
 the end of the meal a large pumpkin
 was placed on the table from which
 ribbons were hanging. To the other
 end of the ribbons colored fishes were attached which the guests pulled from the pumpkin. In the evening the guests were amused by an amateur performance consisting of tableaus, in- strumental and vocal music, some sleight of hand tricks and recitations. These were given by Miss Hilda an gille of Boston, Mass, MT and Mrs E. Burr of Greenfield Hill, and W. J. Luhrmann of Flatbush, N. Y. The company broke up late in the evening. Among those present were: MT and Mrs E. B. Burr and Master J. Burr of Greenfield Hill; Horace Burr, MT and Mrs E. J. Luhrmann of Flatbush, N. r.; W. J. Luhrmann, MT and Mrs c. B.

PICTURES WERE NAUGHTY.
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS IN FINES FOR SELLING THEM.

The sale of indecent post cards il
 Danbury received.a setback, last week
 that should have the effect of putting it at an end. Abraham Susnitzsky proprietor of stationery store or White street, Benjamin Benigson, his clerk, and a thirteen year old boy who occasionally acts as clerk in the es- tablishment. were all convicted of traficking in the picture cards and a total of $4O0 In fines was imposed. Benigson was fined S200 and costs, his employer $1OO and costs and the boy S100 and costs. The arrests were made upon evidence obtained by Deputy Sheriff Johnson and E. c. Platt of Newtown, testified that they visited the store in question on June 20 and bought four post cards, which were ex- hibited in court. Harlow Benedict of N ewtown, identified some pictures in the hands of the prosecuting attorney as ones that he bought in the same store later date at the request of Sheriff Johnson. Last Saturday even- ing Sheriff Johnson went to the store with search warrant and seized a quantity of post cards. The majority of the cards were of the sort that picture women in various Stages of dress and undress and are more or less generally displayed in stores where postcards are sold. Only four or five of the pictures were of the extreme sort. At- torney Martin J. Cunningham, who ap- peared as counsel for the defendants, called the attention of the court to the fact that cards similar to many of those that had been seized by the sheriff were being displayed in other stores in Danbury and elsewhere in Connecticut and suggested that if such pictures.were to be put under the ban they should be suppressed everywhere. Judge Davis did not pass especially up- on the pictures in relation to which question was raised, as the ones that were clearly in violation of the law were sufficient to warrant conviction. An appeal was taken in each case.- I [Danbury News.

Mid Pleasures and Palaces" in Bar- ceona will be the leading sketch in the October Century, racy account by FL len Maury Slayden of an American couples experiences during several weeks stay in Spanish home. "No custom of the house," she says, "was so unaccountable as that of having people come to see you eat. Enjoying a square meal while our guests inhaled cigarette smoke seemed so inhospitable that sometimes playfully insisted up- on their having something with us. It was always laughingly declined, except once when a particlarly lively youth took piece of ham and ate it with all sorts Of self-conscious little antics, as if he were acting pantomime. It was puzzling to know when they took their own meals"

CAPTAIN BALDWIN AT THE
 DANBURY FAIR

TO GIVE EXHIBITIONS WITH HIS
 U. s. GOVERNMENT AIR SHIP.
 Captain Thomas Scott Baldwin, ac, knowledged master of the air, the
 man who has made over 800 flights in to space and who made ninety-one air ship ascensions in 1907, alighting at the exact spot of ascent, record that stands out bright in the history of aer- onautics, will bring duplicate of the famous United States government dir igible to the Danbury Fair, October 6 to 10. The management of this Fair were not entirely satisfied with the air ship they had last year and have, after lengthy negotiations, succeeded in se- curing the peer of all dirigible ship aviators to show the people the kind of ship the government thought enough of to buy.
 Captain Baldwin has just sold to the war department the first air ship ever bought by the United States govern ment. This ship had to meet conditions that other air ship inventors called impossible, but they only added to the eagerness of Captain Baldwin who has been accomplishing things all his life that others called impossible. He succeeded in filling government specif- cations and the ship he navigated at Washington a month ago is now ve- hicle of war in the government service. A duplicate of this ship will be brought to the Fair by the captain and operated in person. It will be among his first series of flights since the Fort Myer trials and his last showing in this section of the country this year. Immediately after the Danbury Fair he will go south for season of ex- hibitions. The flights at the Danbury Fair are planned to be similar to those made during the government tests, and will give the people an idea of the advances made in air ships in the past year.

It's a pity when sick ones drug the stomach or stimulate the Heart and Kidneys. That is all wrong. A weak stomach, means weak stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves are instead crying out for help. This explains why Dr Shoop's Restorative is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. The Restorative reaches out for the actual cause of these ailments-the failing 'inside nerves" Anyway test the Restora- tive 4S hours.
