STATE POLICE IN RAID
 FOR SLOT MACHINES
One confiseated at Steriing-Three at
 Oneco-DayIight Visit by Officers.

Saturday afternoon, places in Ster- ling and Oneco were visited by the state police, who were successful in
 making a haul of slot machines.
 The raids were made about 12.30 o'clock. State Policeman Louks wis tied Alexander Dougherty's saloon in Sterling and conf1scated a large nickel slot machine that was well filled with the place and was in close proximity to the telephone, cutting off any chance to send the alarm to Oneco. A man with light hitch was speedily despatched to Oneco, which is only about two miles away, to sound the alarm that the state police were about and might be expected, but just as the man who had driven furiously all the way, was putting up in front of one of the Oneco places, State Policemen Jackson and Bridgeman had complet- ed the work of seizing the machine in Clark Whitford's saloon J. W. Foley's saloon and T. J. Dougherty's place. The machines are said to be worth in the neighborhood of S175 apiece and will all be condemned by the authori- ties. as is always the case.
 It is understood that all the men caught with the goods in their places are willing to go to court and plead guilty and they will be given a hear ing before Justice of the Peace Chap man at the town hall in Oneco at 3 o'clock this (Monday) afternoon. The daylight visit of the officers was en- tirely unexpected and created not little stir in the usually wideawake little villages.

coMMENDs THE HOSPITAL.
pr. Weldon Finds Much to Praise at
 St. Joseph's.

As there was not a quorum present at the meeting of the incorporators of St. Joseph's hospital Saturday fore noon no business was transacted. most interesting talk by Dr. John Well don, president of the medical board, who told of the work done at the hos pital.. and compared it with other hos pitfalls in the state and the statistics showed that the results obtained at the local institution were much more favorable than at the Backus hospital in Norwich, and the Day-KimbalI hos pital at Putnam. both much older in stitutions. The doctor spoke of a num- Der of improvements that should be made here, particularly with refer ence to increased facilities for chil- dren. He said that there was urgent need of a larger children's ward as the present one was wholly inadequate for the demands made upon it.
 George E. Stiles spoke in behalf of the hospital and said that he did not like to hear the criticisms that were being made regarding it's management and thought that many were entirely unjust and that all should endeavor to assist the institution, as it was doing a great good for the city of Williman- tic. He believed that some who were receiving treatment there and some that had done so could afford to pay for their rooms at an advanced figure. He wanted to see the institution sue ceed and proper and would do all that he could to make 1t He mentioned that the hospital might buy its neces- sities at wholesale and thus save money. Dr. Weldon favored buying at wholesale. but thought if that was done some of the merchants would not like it, as they were anxious to get the business, as they came to the hos pital to get it. William Vanderman, J. F. Carr J. O'Sullivan, and a mum Der of others offered various business cr said that he believed at a meeting when. a quorum was present resolu tions should be passed cordially en- dorsing the good work being done by the institution The meeting was ad- journed until Friday morning at ten o'clock.

MERIT ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS
Advertising Can Never Build Lasting Results Unless Product Is
 Worthy.

Points in advertising are thus summed up by the Chicago Commer- cial Journal First, the advertise ment must attract the eye; second, present convincing argument: third, reach buyers of product offered; fourth, be read at the right time; fifth, be continuous for long period immediate results being rare" One point omitted is that merit must be the basis to secure lasting success. Inferior articles may be pushed to q large scale, but quickly become dis credited when buyers are disappoint- ed. Many advertisers overlook all these factors. They fail to arrest the attention and so to prove the need of what they have for sale. and they expect one charge or an occasional careless shot will bring down the game. Some stop advertising when their business is dull though energet- ic men are apt to feel that is the time to make greater effort. Periods of de- pression also call for closer economy in production and those who look ahead are open to arguments on the advantages of change of machinery and material. They have time the n to think about 1t. In printing, the dull season for some houses is the h,,sv season for others. It is rarely that any of them close entirely for a single day. except Sunday The ad- vartiser who oAits any issue of the <fwht medium takes chances of miss snr sales he wssad otherwise have Hnah0

ADVERTISING IN THE SUMMER
Lack of Optimism on part of soliel- tors May Cause Failing of at
 This Time.

Before a recent business meeting or the New York Times staff. Ernest J. Preston. manager of the Daily News paper club. discussed "The Decline of Advertising in the Summer" He gave various reasons why advertising should be kept up during the hot sea son above all other times of the year. and said that 1t may not be all the fault or the advertiser that he lets his publicity fall off in the summer but that some of it may be brought about by the lack of optimism on the part Of the advertising solicitor.
 Tt is as senseless for an adver- User to stop his advertising-to break the eject of repetition-to quit firing at that great 9e per cent of the indlf- ferent, thoughtless, obstinate public said MT. Preston, "as it would be for the engineer to let his fires go out or the chauffeur to let hs power and speed go down on approaching hill.
 The public must be told the story Of a product without the cessation of a month or two, for it has beea proven that 1t costs twice as much to get back into the former commanding DO sition than 1t would have cost to keep the attention with some shots each week. even if the full schedule was not maintained.
 Tell your customers to advertise to the people that are staying at home there's a hundred times as many re- maining here as go away. Some per sons believe that the people read less in the summer than in the winter, but l don't believe it.
 You have hundred reasons to give why line should be persistently ad- vertised in the summer as any other time. Personally you get hungry in the summer-you read in the summer
 you may take things a trifle easy but you don't let up. It's not human nature to let up, so bring that to the attention of the man who should spend some money in the display columns and see If a good bunch of optimism plus some good common sense won't make them look at things in a light that will enable you to obtain the name on the dotted line"

 Jungle Hsuseksspina.
 The negro housewife in the west Indian jungle finds housekeeping very easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild all about the hut and the river aboufrls with fish. On wash day all she has to do is to pick few of the berries of the soap berry tree. take her clothes to the river and use the berries as she would use ordinary soap. Even her cooking pots grow on the trees. the calabash cut in halves being used for this purpose. Calabashes are used also for bowls. basins and jugs for carrying water from the river. while the small ones make excellent cups. In the afternoon. when she IS ready for her cup of ten. the negress picks half a dozen leaves from the lime bush growing at her door. boils them. sGueezes the juice from sugar cane for sweetening and the cocoanut SUD- plies the milk.
