BILL TO KEEP
 WOMEN OUT OF DRINKING PLACES

The County Commissioners, Judge Whitman s. Mead, Simeon Pease and John Brophy, their counsel, Attorney James A. Marr and Attorney Jacob B. Klein, representing the liquor in- terests and Judge Edward K. Njchol- son, representing the Laws Enforce ment league were in session this morning in the offices of the commits sioners for a considerable length of time going over the excise laws. Those points in the liquor laws wherein there seem to be complications were freely discussed with view to making them more definite.
 Judge Nicholson said the Law En- forcement league, will send counsel to Hartford to effect the passage of a bill to keep women out of saloons, es- pecially women who enter saloons as waitresses. There Is little doubt but that such a bill will pass both houses. It's strongest packers are the liquor in tereStS.

A. M. Wooster Presents Plan For RemodeI-l ling Present Building to Make it Suffi-
 cient For Many Years to Come
States Objections to "Hands0me Building" Plan Which Would Require s400,000 Structure on S15O,0OO Lot and Bond
 Issue For Half Million

IA M. Wooster, a member of the Board of Education and a well known patent lawyer, presents in the columns of the Farmer, today, solution of the High school problem, which per mits the city to provide for its re- Quirements in this direction for many years to come, at relatively small cost.
 MT. Wooster is opposed to the so- called handsome building plan, which would issue bonds to the amount of half million dollars, and erect a $500,0O0 building upon a $1o0,000 lot.
 MT. Wooster proposes to add to the present high school. creating comedy structure, which will serve for at least 15 years to come, at a total expense of not more $150,0O0

NO CHARTER AMENDMENTS
 WITHOUT PROVISION FOR A REFERENDUM TO VOTERS

The city should seek and se- cure legislation giving it fuller control over its own streets and full powers for the regulation of public utility services and their rates. But no amendment of the fundamental law should become operative until it has been first approved by the electors at the polls. The fundamental law of the municipality is now subject to change at the mere will of a group of politicians and in spite of the opposition of all the peo- pie.
 From the platform adopted by the Democratic Town and City Convention held in October, 1909.

MIR. HARDING IS ! R. R. PRESIDENT

It is understood that when MT. and Mrs. Harvey Harding return from their wedding trip they will reside in New Haven. Mrs. Harding, who was Mrs. Ruth Bullen, widow of the late Fred Bullen, will, however, for the present retain her handsome resi- dence in this city. The groom is we'll known in financial circles as the president of the Bainbridge and Northeastern Railroad company of Georgia, whose lines have just been north of Bainbridge Ga, to the Gulf of Mexico. MT. Harding in the ap- plication for a marriage license gave his age as 37 and Mrs. Bullen gave her age as 34.

The saving over the handsome building" plan will be $35o,O00 in ori- ginal expenditure, which means that the saving in interest alone during ten years will pay for the cost of new high school accommodations under the Wooster plan. The annual interest charge on s350,0O0 would be $14,000, which in ten years would amount to S140,000 and in 15 years to $21O, 1000. As between the Wooster plan and the handsome building plan the excess interest charge, created by the latter, would in 15 years represent money enough to pay for the former, and $70,000 over. Mr. Wooster's statement of his views upon this important mat ter is as follows:
 There can be no question but that Bridgeport needs and must have new High School building. The principal

TIE WHY GF BAD FARM
COOKING
By. S. G. Miller.

We believe that more dyspeptics are
every year produced on the farm

years OF observation and considerable
actual experience.

In the corn belt hogs furnish one
OF the most important means OF mar
ketins the corn crop. With the ex-
csption Of chickens, they are the most
numerous Of all farm animals. and
are grown tor market on more farms
than any other stock. Hog raising has
probably made more clear money for
the corn-beIt farmers than any other
enterprise. In view OF this one might
expect TO ind hogs the best housed
OF any animals on the farm. but the
opposite IL the case. II is still hard
for many farmers 10 get rid OF the
notion that anything is good enough
for hog.
There is no animal on the farm
which requires better protection from
cold than the hog. none for which a
good bed n more necessary: and none
so much I'm need OF sunshine as the
little pig.
The horse and the COW have good
coats OF hair. even a calf or colt
when left In the cold Is provided with
a good fur coat; the hens feathers are
the best OF protection against cold.
but the hog has almost nothing be-
tween his skin and the weather.
One OF the hrst requisites for sue
cess with hogs is a shelter where
young rigs can be kept warm and
well Supplied with sunshine and fresh
air. A little pig takes cold very easily
and RECEIVERS slowly n at all. To pre-
vent taking cold he must be kept
