Where are you goin' Wednesday
night. Evelina?'' asked the groceryrnan
when he had aided the pretty cook to
empty his basket on the Kitchen table,
Anything special on your mind for
them"
The cook looked at him sharply TO
determine whether it was mere curiosi-
ty or a possible invitation that lay be-
hind the question
What do you want to know for r
she demanded. Il should think it
would keep you busy watching that
big red headed girl in the corner house,
where you spend most OF your morn
ings."
SAY, that amt no way to talk" said
the groceryman in panied tones. Il
about Wednesday night. You know
yourself that always duck out of that
corner house just as quick as she'll let
me. Shes certainly the gabbiest girl
ask you to go to the moving-picture
show with me Wednesday night"
The pretty cook tossed her head.
"Moving-picur show" she echoed
In the first place, where do you get
your license to think I'd go anywhere
with you? And in the second place,
what made you think I was waiting for
somebody to take me to a moving pic
ture show? When l go to the theater I
generally manage to go with a gent1e-
man who has the price of a. regular
theater downtown"
"They have a regular vaudeville
show at this one around the corner"
went on the groceryn1an. That's
where I'm goin' to take you. It's just
as good as downtown too. There was
one fellow there this week that's inn
.nense-you ought to hear him. You'd
die laughin'. He says his sister swa1-
lowed spoon last week and now she
can't stir"
The grocerynan chuckled hopefully,
but the pretty cook declined to particle

POLICE ACTIVITY IN NEW HAVEN

The authorities of New Haven are to
be commended in making it their policy
to break up Sunday selling in the sa-
looms of that city, and the results
certainIy show that the movement is
<uIIy justified. The Journal-Courier
Of that place, commenting upon the
-aiding OF four saloons which were
doing q secret Sunday business, said:
Tt is now made perfectly clear that
the police are equal TO the arrest Of
offending saloon keepers IL they are
set 10 work IN the right spirit. There
need no longer be talk of the difficult
ties OF detecting these offenders. What
evsr talk is required should center
about the possible failure of the police
TO continue their excellent work until
the law Is enforced without discrimi-
nation The mere fact that saloon
keepers continue to defy the law and
20 do II IN the reckless way they have
been doing II, shows decisively that
they have concluded that it was safe
10 do So These things together tusti-
" the belief that il the police COM
-n1szionerz viii issue orders to Chief
Cowles TO enforce the law without re-
gard to politics, or any other consider
alton but his own Official head, he will
do So Not until this is done can the
question be debated of the neighbor-
hood saloon being the poor mans club
and therefore entitled to considera-
ton"
There IS no defense for Sunday SELL
ing anywhere, and not only the general
public but the saloon keepers who
respect the provisions Of their license
should encourage and applaud work
Of this kind The Sunday liquor seller
should not be tolerated IN any COM
munitE

The ALARMIST.

The alarmist figures in every pub
lie movement, SO it is not surprising
to ind him sending out warnings to
the boycotters of meat and dietists
generally that they are in mortal dan
ger if they depart from the regular
and customary food The best Judges
of the effects of such departures from
regular custom. it must be admitted
are those who have made the
change and realized all the alleged
perils and unalloyed benefits. A voice
from Chicago says:
For over fifty years I chung to a
meat diet as my only hope of saliva
ton, and thought a meal or lunch
without it poor affair. At last, so
broken in health that I was obliged
to stop work, the doctors gave up my
case and ordered me south. There it
so happened that I could not find
palata'bIe meats and 1 discovered that
1 could live without them. Now. after
ing. at the age OF 72. have much
better health and never before in my
life have foods tasted so good.
1T is my firm belief that all these
boycotters II they keep 1t up will find
themselves SO much benefited by their
fasting that they will never want to
return to their habit of meat eating
again. 1t is habit, and not matter
= necessity. just as much as taking
stimulants is a habit. The uric acid
and other toxic parts of meat, like
other poisons, stimulate It is admit
ted, of course, that there is some
nourishment in meat, but that nour-
ishment can easily be obtained from
other protein foods that do not con-
tain such poisons."
This is the testimony of many who
have for health or economic reasons
discontinued the use of meats. IN
stead of a loss of, there is an improve
ment in health.

THE FIRE LOSSES.

Jznuary's fire list ran up TO S15,175.-
lGo. and this is, according to the rec
ords kept by the New York Journal
OF Commerce, seven and a half mil
lions less than of January, 1899, and
nearly fourteen and a half millions
less than in January. 1908, and may be
REGARDED as rather encouraging for
IRE 1910 outlook for the United States

The large fires in January in Con-
necticut totaled s26e,oo0, as follows;

New Haven, hardware factory, $4,000
New Haven, experiment station $4,000
HiddIcdeld- dwelling, $4,000
Greenwich, barn and stock, $4,000
The fires OF January averaged 6s a
week for the month, ard those which
represented losses Of over 100000
we're as follows:
The s3T5,ooO Ore at Grand Rapids,
Mich. the costliest, began in a fur
