had promised Olive he would never touch it again. but that was a thing of the past. Yes, he would go back he forgot. He would. debauch him. self with spirits. He had been fool ever to give 1t up. God, if there were a God, offered him nothing, nay, enc thing that would have made a man of him; but the devil was faith full. The whisky bottle could be al- ways kept close to his elbow. Yes, and he would run the whole gamut of sin. There was nothing to restrain him, and he had no motive power to make him desire anything else.
 When the train arrived. at the ter minus, he jumped into cab, and drove straight to his club. No. he would not go to the smoke-room, he would go to his own private room, and there he would drink and forget. A few minutes later, he sat alone in his room, a bottle of whisky by his side. With steady hands he uncork- ed it, and poured out a large quan- tity; he filled the tumbler with soda water, and looked at the yellow liquid as it sparkled in the glass.
 Here is my wife now.p he cried.
 She will be faithful to me, or. even if she. fails, there is that green devil called absinthe. No, no, the devil | does not forsake a man while he has a five-pound note in his pocket" Even then he did not lift the glass | to his lips. After all, those months | during which he had known Olive still counted. It was true that in spite of his resolutions he doubted | whether he would ever meet her | again; but those hours he had spent by her side were not without their i influence. After all, to be a man was nobler than to be beast. He re- called her words on the night he had made known his love to her. She had told him that the man who trusted in a woman for his salvation rested on a weak reed, and that only God could save man. He remem- bered his answer too.
 eff there is God, I have given Him His chance" he cried, and He has failed me. Now I choose this yellow devil. A fascinating devil, too. See how light and sparkling he is."
 He held the glass up to the light, and watched while the bright gaseous globules floated from the bottom of the glass to the top.
 Goodbye to false sentiment and false ideals, to false hopes and fool ish fancies," he cried, "and hereby do take thee to be my lawful welded wife from this day forward, to have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.''

Unclaimed Deposits.
 There is $75.n of unclaimed deposits in the Ridgefield Savings Bank. Ran Into Open Switch
 A milk train enroute from Pittsfeld to Bridgeport. in collision with freight oars in a siding just above Brookf1eld Junction resulted in a. considerable wreck Tuesday afternoon. The train was approaching Brookfield Junction at good rate of speed when it ran through an open switch. Two of the freight cars on the siding were com pletely demolished and the engine was disabled and thrown from the track. There were two passenger cars on the rear end of the milk train, but there were few passengers and none were injured. The escape of the engineer and fireman from injury was remark able.
 Prevalent Diseases
 In South Norwaik there is an epi- denic of typhoid fever. In Norwalk there appears to be an epidemic of whoop1ng cough.
 Struck by Apto.
 Joseph Dottella, of New Canaan, was the victim of an automobilist, Tuesday. and after being knocked off his wheel and painfully injured, was left in the road. Dottella was rendered insensi- ble by the contact and remained in that condition until revived by some farmers passing in a wagon. A phy- sician examined him and while he found no bones broken, the mans left shoulder blade was painfully bruised, the back of his head had been struck, a large lump showing the place of con- tact, and his legs were injured more or less.
 Another Deer Story.
 John A Mills of Norwalk, had a peculiar experience. Monday noon, which nearly terIninated in his run ming over one of the herd of deer which are staying in the vicinity of the Norwalks. MT. Mills was going up the New Canaan road in his auto mobile. when suddenly he ran up to one of the deer. The animal becoming confused dashed headlong into the rail- ing of the New Canaan bridge. The animal was knocked down by the blow and MT. Mills only missed running over the deer by a few inches. MT. Mills then started to see if he could capture it. The animal was quickly on it's feet. however. and dashed away. The deer are becoming numerous around Norwalk, and they are becom- ing exceedingly tame and do not hesi- tate to walk right up to house and help themselves to a thriving garden patch.

THE PROPER PINE TO USE
FOR COUGHS AND COLD

Many pine extracts contain resins
causing nausea and cramps. For most
reliable and quickest results in curing
a severe cough or cold follow this
formula: Get two ounces of Glycerine
and half an ounce of Concentrated
Pine compound Then get half a pint
of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into It, Take teaspoonful
to tablespoonful of this mixture after
each meal and at bed time" But be

Pine. Each half ounce bottle comes

Warming to Potato Growers.

The department of agriculture is
making extraordinary efforts to warn
people of the United States against
new disease of the potato which has
been spreading swiftly through the
potato growing areas of Europe. The
warning is especially meant to be OF
the first appearance to the great pota-
to producing section about the Great
Lakes.
The new afliction is known as the
wart disease. Also as "Black Scab,
"Canker," and "Cauliflower" Big
warty excrescences, sometimes as big
as the tuber itself, appear upon the
sides or ends of the potato In an
advanced stage of the disease the tu-
bers are wholly covered with the
growth and lose all resemblance to
potatoes. When this fungus growth
has utilized every particle of food
stored in the potato it is reduced to a
brownish black soft mass giving off a
most unpleasant odor of putrefaction.

Vile, Tenn.
Maj. Sylvester has taken deep In

officer, was summarily dismissed from
his post by Mayor Evans. One week
ago two smallpox deaths occurred, and
the health board held special session
and gave DR.. Freiberg ten days in
which to resign.
The health officers actions during

THE MOTHER AND THE BOY
Childish Condolences That Should
Never Be Repelied, But Al
ways Encouraged.

A boys heart is full and overflow
ing. He needs some one who will listen
to his condolences. If he is repealed
and finds himself alone, he becomes
fretful, indolent or worse. His affairs
are not nonsense" A good mother
never says: Run away; / am busy"
She listens, encourages.
Important discoveries may be made
in these outpourings. She gives sym
pathy, enters into his feelings, sees
things from his point Of view. II he
tells her of something which proves
that he is at fault, she does not repri-
mand at the time, because this will
check further condolences, She gives
her attention quietly, tells him she is
glad he has confided in her, and that
she will talk of 1t again to him.
II mother has insight she can
solve many problems. She is interest
ed in her boys sports, collections, his
school and companions. The choice Of
his companions should not be left to
chance. 1t is well II they are from
families known to his parents.

Old King Coffee knocks subjects

Mich. woman gives her experience:
II used to have liver trouble nearly
all of the time and took medicine
which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once in while I
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. It
seemed as though every time took a
breath would die. No one could
suffer any more and live.
Finally got down so sick with
catarrh of the stomach that l could
not turn over in bed, and my stomach
did not digest even milk. The doctor
finally told me that IL did not give up
drinking coffee you'd surely die, but
felt could not give 1t up.

TINY BABYS PlTlFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter OF an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see SO small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and il came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
'Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-

Supervisors Laws Invalid.

Acknowledgement Bird holds that
eight local acts passed by the board
of supervisors of st. Joseph county
are void.
These acts were passed under au-
thority of section of act 1922 Of the
public acts of 1909, which says that
county boards of supervisors are au-
thor1zed to pass such laws relating
to county affairs as they may deem
necessary, but which shall not be OPP
posed to the general laws OF the
state, and shall not interfere with
the local affairs of any township, in
corporated city or village within the
limits of the county
The act also provides that such
laws must be approved by the gov
ernor before becoming operative.
These local acts have been pouring
into the governors Office for his sig
nature, and in many cases were fol
lowed by a flood of kilograms asking
the governor to veto the laws. In
his opinion, Bird said:
There is only one body in this
state that can legislate, and that body
is our legislature.
Section / of article OF the con-
stitution provides that the legislative
power is vested in senate and a
house of representatives. Yet our leg
islature has, in the enactment of the
law, to which reference is herein
made. attempted to confer upon the
boards of supervisors question
which is unquestionably vested only
il. the legislature"
Gov. Warner said that he will not
approve any local laws passed by
boards of supervisors.
