WOMAN FARMER MAKES succEss
Miss Peek of North Lyme Raises Crops that Are Proftabls--Hss a Stove Built in Norwich.

Miss Esther Peck of North Lyme is striking example of what a woman can do. During the past season she raised 500 bushels of corn, enough to feed her livestock for the winter and some ito sell. A flock of 36 turkeys was reared by her. She runs her farm alone.
 Miss Peck shoots with Remington rifle and displays such remarkable skill that she is often called upon to give exhibitions at her home, when friends visit her. Some of the corn raised by Miss Peck last summer was very large, many ears being found which measured 13 inches in length. The turkey flock, which was pur- chased by Harrison Bros of New Lon- don for the Christmas trade, contained some prize winners. One tom turkey weighed 2S pounds when dressed. An other weighed 30. The larger of the two was of such a temperament that it was necessary to shoot it, the usual way of chopping it's head off being considered too dangerous to the execu- tioner.
 In Miss Peck's kitchen is a wood burning stove built in Norwich in 1863 and as good a "baker" as can be found in those parts A horse which was driven by Miss Peck in her youth died last week at the age of 39. It had not been out of the barn in fourteen years. The animals grave will be suitably marked

men who formerly came in to get shaved never visit the shop now only when they require a haircut.
 '"The use of the safety razor is re- sponsible to a large extent in this fal. ing off of trade. Men who never thought of shaving themselves in the old days, and some who never could learn how to handle a razor, now shave at home, because they have the safety outfit. They do not care to waste the time to sit in a barber snop and the cost of the shaving outfit is soon saved when they do the work themselves.
 "But it is not altogether the safety razor which causes a falling off in trade" continued the hairdres ser. "The master barbers are inclined to place a great deal of blame upon the state barber's commission. In old days when I was learning the trade it was a trade then-it was necessary for a young man to devote at least three years to learning the business. Now the schools for barbers guarau- tee to graduate student in six weeks, and those students can get a license to operate in Connecticut by the pay- ment of $5 to the commissioners"

GETS MILLIONS.
New Haven Road Sells It's Rights for $12,500,0o0 for Indebtedness to Be Met January i.

The time for the termination of the rights to subscribe to the new stock of the New Haven Railroad company expired Monday at p. m.. and it is said these rights represented a larger sum of cash than was ever before put out in payment at one time on account of securities of a New Haven corpora tion. The rights paid for represent an investment of $12,500,000 which had to be planked down yesterday. The mon- ey will come into good play by the New Haven railroad in meeting in- debtedness falling due January 1. They have quite an amount of short term notes out and those which fall due at the beginning of the new year will be taken up with the inflow of cash. It was said the company bor- rowed at very favorable rate of in terest, evidencing the good credit which the company has enjoyed.
 But not all of this money will be for the taking up of notes, for some of it will go into improvements and betterment along the company's lines.

HAIRCUT FIFTY CENTS.
Reasons Why Waterbury Barbers Talk of Raising Priees-Blane the Safety Razor

At a conference of several master barbers in Waterbury last week the question of charging fifty cents for a haircut, the advance to go into ef- feet Jan. 1, 1910, was considered, says the Waterbury Republican. No action was taken at the time. but the bar bers will interview the other master barbers in the city and endeavor 10 arrive at a compromise at meeting to be held later. The present price of fifteen cents for a shave was consider ed high enough and there will be no change for that tonsorial work.
 "The owners of first class barber shops are obliged to take some such action" said the proprietor of one of the shops in the center to a reporter for the Republican. Twenty-Five cents for a haircut may be high enough when there Is work enough at shaving. but there has been great falling off in customers at all barber shops in Waterbury during the last year. and

A French physician has been writing in one of the Paris papers about a cure for colds which, he says, is very old, but which long time ago fell into disuse and was practically for gotten. It is a very simple remedy, the only requirements being that the patient refrain from all liquids for a period of from A to AS hours. A spoonful of tea or coffee may be taken at meals and a small glass of water at bedtime, if thirst is very great. But it is much better to do without all liquids entirely, if possible. It is not necessary, says the physician, to re- main indoors while the cure is being tried-in fact, he recommends that the patient get out of doors and breathe the fresh air. He says that the dry cure" Is infallible.-The Pathfinder.
