MOSQUITOES DID IT.
Largely Responsible for Guiiford Los ing Location of New State Reform atorY,

In explaining the reasons for the locating of the new state reformatory at Cheshire, and the failure to nIace 1t at Guilford, which was considered for a time, Max Adler of New Haven member of the commission, said that the principal reason why 1t had not been located at Guilford was the fact that the town was too far away from everywhere. Furthermore he said, the town was not as healthful as was desired, as the mosquitoes were so thick you could cut them with knife, so that it was not a very de- s1rabIe place to put young men who were arrested for the first time. The plan contemplated the discharge of the sewage from the reformatory in East river, but it was discovered that this river had oysters planted at its mouth, so there was no place that sewage could be disposed of As final conclusive reason. Mir Adler said the commission had not been able to secure options enough on the site in Guilford.
 Regarding the connection of County Commissioner Jacob D. Walter with the selection of the Cheshire land, part of which he owned, MT. Adler de- clared that MT. Walter did not know for what the land was being bought until after the sale, and the negotia- tions had been carried on through Walter Scott. Further he said Colonel D1lman had had no knowledge of what the site was which had been selected until after the sale had been made

THE DANBuRY POLICE.
The Rev. w. J. Shaniey Scores Them as Inefficient Because of Weak Back ing.

"Danbury has the reputation of be- ing a drinking community and intern- peraEce is rife in Danbury- The police records do not show this, however. Usually the police records of city are some indication of the amount If intemperance there, but it is not so in Danbury. The police of Daubury will not arrest a. drunkard if they can help it. You know that the police force of Danbury is a joke; and the city fathers raised their salary the other day. I have no objection to their get ting higher wages but I would like to see them earn their salary. If they are efficient why did they not secure some of the fragrant violators of law for years? Why did they allow saloon keepers to sell on Sunday for years Why do they allow them to sell 10 minors? Why do they allow drug stores to carry on 8 saloon business, with only a fifty dollar license? Some of them on Sunday are worse than the saloons. Why do they allow all tbi:t, if they are efficient? Why do they allow gamb bling dens to work in full blast if they are efficient? They know them all; why do they not close them most prominent men in the city if they did The individual policeman is powerless. There is a power behind him which prevents him from doing his duty. If he does his duty he will lose his job.
 Tt is not patriotic to find fault with ones own city, but one must sink pat riotisrn when the good of the com nunity is at stake. I am not going to criticise the courts, for that might be construed as contempt of court. But I will say that our judges are a most mercifu1 set of judges. The picayUne sentences which they give to the drunkards who come before them are most merciful. Why do they do this I'll give them the presumption that it is because they are mercifuI to the
 
 their wives and families.
 we are told that the liqour element has a power in all this. We are told that they are leaders in politics. Is there one among them who is fit to be a leader, who has the characteristics of leadership? Not one. They have the power because you allow them to have it."

Other Fellow to Blame.

Senator Carter of Montana, defend ing the high prices now demanded for meat. takes practically the same stand the foodstuff nagnate assumes when asked the reason why. He planes it on the other fellow. In a recent inter- view he said the reason beef now costs so much is on account of compuI- sory change in the manner of raising it.
 sIn years gone by.' he says, cattle were raised on ranches 100 miles wide and 150 miles long. Today farmers have that land and are tiliing it. More cattle are being raised today in the west than ever before. but there are not enough. The demand is greater''
 The latter is true, but it does not ex- plain why meat at home should cost more than that exported to other countries. But the really amusing DOT ton of his interview is in tagging the wheat grower of the west. He seems to forget that, although the farmer may have gobbled up the finest land and be raising more porduce, there has been no appreciable reduction in the price of flour. Not that anyone could mo- tice. He seems to forget that four has gone up from $3.25 barrel in 1896 to S5.4e in 1909.-Phiiadelphia Inquifar.

Why Do Men
 DRINK?

When you stop to think of the terri ble results which come to men who in- dulge in excess in intoxicating bever ages. well may you ask, Why do men victim of the Drink Habit can no more resist liquor than man with ague can stop shivering- Drunkenness is dis ease and must be treated as such. The intoxicants will be glad to know there is a remedy which will restore their loved ones to lives of sobriety and use fu1ness. Many thousands of grateful women praise Orrine for it's benefits. Orrine has been known to effect a cure after all other means failed.
 Paxson & Rockefeller, A West Park St, Butte. Mont, tell about case of drunkenness of 25 years standing. Read what they say: "A gentleman well known to us who has been a hard drinker for twenty-five years, stated he had been entirely cured by Orrine. We consider this remarkable case as this gentleman has been treated three diff ferent times at we'll known sanatori- um. This and other cases that have come to our knowledge gives us confi- dence in your preparation, and it gives us pleasure to recommend it to those needing a reliable cure for intemper- ance."
