Waterbury as his home, and whatever
his residence may have been in the
eyes of the government, in mis- own

his official place of residence. Here it
was that he spent his school days
From here he went to the Naval aead-

FOR PURER ICE.
Law Enacted by General Assembly to
Protect Consumers.

There is little doubt that the law
enacted by the general assembly con-
corning the sale of impure ice will be
strictly enforced. 1t is as follows:
NO person SHALL without having OBJ
tanned permission from the owner, cut
ice upon a river brook, lake, pond,
reservoir of other water after they
have been posted nor shall he pollute
the ice. Persons receiving ice from
another shall notify the board Of
health of the shipment and the latter
may have an analysis made of a sam
pie of the ice, and if it is found i'm
pure the ice shall not be sold Vio-
lations of the foregoing provisions
shall be punishable by a fine of not
more than 800 or Imprisonment for
not more than 80 days. or both. The
superior court may make an order to
preserve the purity of ice used for do
nestle purposes, or as merchandise,
when application is made to it for re-
lief from pollution which is thought to
be caused by land or building near the
water on which the ice is formed
Whenever any order is made by the
superior court for the abatement of
any nuisance to such water or ice and
SAID court shall find that compliance
with said order will damage any per-
son or corporation or deprive him or it
of any substantial right. said court may
assess just damages in favor of such
person or corporation, to be paid by
such municipality, person or corpora
ton as the court may Decree"

FLUE SYSTEM
To Be Experimental With in Curing
SuffieId Tobacco.

On the large farm of William M.
Pinney in Suffield DR.. w. W. Garner
of the United States department of
agriculture will experiment in the cur
ing of tobacco this fall, the first of the
experiments to start this week. The
experiments will be tried in a barn

rugged up with steam pipes, and the

ing with the 1ue method of curing
This is the only experiment of its kind
being made in tobacco in Sufleld this
year by the government. For the past
few years experiments in raising to-
bacco with different kinds of fertilizers
was conducted on the farm of Edmund
Halliday on Main street
DR.. Garner says that what he is GO
ing to do may not accomplish what
the government authorities at Wash
ington, D. c.. are looking for, but time
will prove something sooner or later.
This year the method of curing the
leaves by using steam in the shed will
not be tried but the fue system will
be started for the first time. Each bent
has small furnace on the north side
of the building and each furnace has
an eight inch f1ue running from it
through the bent and out into the air
a few feet above the furnace on the
same side of the barn. In the rear of
this tobacco barn is an odd looking
building about six or seven feet square
called the snow barn. which Dr.
Garner says is used along with the
experiment to determine the chemical
change. For example, a sample of the
leaves that are hung in the expert
ment shed are on the same day put in
the SNOW she'd" and dried Immediate
ly, without being cured, or in other
words. are the same as those leaves
that came from the field with the
water taken out. Samples of these and
the cured leaves are then sent to the
experiment station at Washington, D.
C., and there analysed by experts. The
difference in composition represents
the change that takes place in the cur
ing of the tobacco leaf and shows what |
the curing really is.-Hartford Courant |

worn by the women whom they es-
corted.
This may be looked upon as a new
idea. but it is simply an imitation of
the old calico ball fashion, where
woman makes necktie from a piece
of her dress for her escort. White silk
socks, with clocks of the same color as
the necktie, have also been seen here
at evening parties and dinners. Men
who wear gloves at summer dances
formerly wore the conventional white
kids, but this year white silk has been
much in evidence. Here also high
colors are often used as stitching on
