SOUTH COVENTRY SCHOOL
Closed Until Pupils Recover from
 Scarlet Fever.

The Center school at South Coventry was ordered closed Wednesday by Town Health Officer pr. W. L. Higgins to preclude the possibility of the spread of scarlet fever, with which at least four children are ill
 The health officer, after considera- tion with a number of the parenTs some time ago, reached the decision that if any more cases were reported it would be the best thing to do 1n the interests of the community.
 There are four cases of the disease known of in the town, although two are convalescent. Florence, daughter of William Boyer, is well on the road to recovery; George Moses, who lives with his grandparents. Mir. and Mrs. Seubert, has the disease.
 A young man named Knox. who lives with his father. who recently came to town, was taken i'll Monday and was sent home by the teacher. Wednesday his condition was such as to indicate that his illness was scarlet fever, and the Center school was or dered closed. It was deemed best to close all three rooms. Young Moses attended the lower school
 A Willimantic physician, who Is au- tending one of the cases. said We'd nesday afternoon that it was a mild case, and that while there was nurse in attendance there was hardly any necessity, but they considered it wise to be on the safe side.

Have built and sold hundreds of homes to them at a total cost of from $II.oo to $IS.oo a month.
 About 8o%o now own these homes and they are good ones.
 These people are faithful, prosper ous, loyal and high-grade, yet they have been bounded and vilihed be- cause they now and always have refused to bend the knee to these tyrannical labor bosses who could collect monthly fees and order them to quit work in order to punish the Company for being independent of "unionisna."
 The Labor Trust has sent cont mittees and money time and again, given smokers (and drinleers) to try and lure our people into the meshes of slavery, but Postum workmen stead lastly prefer their independence and liberty. Therefore, the labor leaders have threatened to punish them and this lying peanut shell tale" is one of the methods.
 There is Q time coming when the workingman, even outside of Battle Creek, will secure his rightful position and fair treatment with suitable wages without being compelled to be under the iron heel of a few labor chiefs who have obtained control in some localities over the worllingmen, and can tell them when to quit work, or be subject to the ,slugging of their infamous 'entertainment committees"

Some paid managers of the great Labor Trust do not seem satisfied to rest on their past record of tyran- nies to their own members to other working men, and to the public at large, but they seek to add to their long list of villianous acts.
 On Sunday, January 2nd, 1910, The Chicago Federation of Labor all lowed to pass to the press statement that three carloads of empty peanut shucks were found in railroad wreck and were consigned to our Company.
 That statement was a Wilful, malicious lie made fr0m whole cloth.
 It was inspired by the usual hate for everyone not under the yoke of the Labor Trust.
 It is a favorite method of the average "Jawsmith"- noisy ones in the unions-when confronted with facts regarding the assaults, destruc- ton of property, and other crimes, (too often including murder) to con coct and put out deliberate falsehoods.
 This attack on the business of the Postum Cereal Co. is a good illustra- tion.
 They have tried for years to boycott the products, ruin the business, and take away the living of our faithful employees, (about 1000 persons).
 What for?
 We have for years past paid the high est wages in the State for like service. ,
