Barred Plymouth Rocks a Putnam
PrGdHct

The Profitable Poultry for No9em- ber says: ,"Baffed Plymouth oe $ enjoy the distinction of being one of the most popular breeds of poultry in this country.
 Indeed, we may say with little doubt that they are the leaders i'll numbers and are more common in all sections of the United States than any other breed. Pure bred fowl of any breed are relatively scarce, but i'll crosses, in grade of in genuine scrub stock the tinctufe of the Barred Rock Is to be found eyefYwaere. It is reai- fly apparent that such wide spread distribution and such universal use Of a breed constitute a certificate of merit which needs little additional proof at this day.
 Barred Plymouth Rocks originated in 1866 from A cross abetween Black Cochins Imported from China by John Giles of Woodstock, yonn.) and Dominiques, breed popular at that  day but not very clearly defined in size or color, though they generally showed some barring. The cross was made by MT. Spauding of Putnam, Conn, who later sold some of the pro duce to Rev. D. A. Upham. They were first shown by MT. Upham in Worcester, Mass, in 1889, and were named by him.9
 MT Giles lived on the farm now owned by A. II. Potter in South Wood stock, later purchasing and occupying the farm on which the Windham County Temporary Home ,is now loca- ted. The MT. Spanlding referred to is probably Joseph Spaulding, who lived in house situated on the southerly corner of Senexet Road leading from Woodstock avenue.

FOR REGULATI)sI
 OF RAILn5ADS
President Sends to Congress Securities Commission Report
NOT FOR FEDERAL CONTROL
Report Would Prohibit Ownership of Competing Roads Stock. but Does Not Favor the Issuing of
 Bonds Below Par.

Washington President Taft sub- mitted to the Congress, with a letter urging its adoption, the report of the Hadley railroad securities commission The commission consists of President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale University. chairman; Frederick N. Judson of St Louis Frederick Strauss of New York City, Walter l.. Fisherfi the present secretary of the interior and B. II. Meyer, a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 The commission in Investigating this important subject did not con1ne it's inquiries to railroading in Ameri- ca, but included the entire European field. The report recommends that the Interstate Commerce Commission be given the power to investigate all f- nancial transactions of the railroads and that penalties be provided for any failure of the railroad officers or direc. tors to make full disclosures. It op- poses the enactment of law that shall require specific approval in ad vance of the amount and purpose of stock and bond issues and recom- mends that no new body be created to oversee security issues.
 It Is further recommended that full publicity shall be given by railroads is- suing new securities. To attain this end the roads shall furnish to the h. terstate Commerce Commission at spe citied dates a statement of all Financial transactions that have taken place in the periods covered by the report. The railroads shall also be obliged to fur nsh to stockholders facts in regard to financial transactions for the fiscal year in a form approved by the Inter state Commerce Commission.
 The report favors giving to the h. terstate Commerce Commission broad powers and adequate means for deter mining the physical valuation of rail roads when, in the judgment of the commission. the matter is of sufficient importance to justify action. And fur ther notes the necessity for protection the railroads from the action of state commission in interfering with their fixing of interstate traffic rates, and discusses the conflicts of jurisdiction between federal and state authorities It says. however, that the time is not yet ripe for sudden and quasicom- pulsory' transfer of control of secur- ity issues by interstate railroads from the states to the federal government though there may in time be neces- sitated larger degree of federal control or even federal incorpora- tion

RAFE DISEASE
 kT TIE HOSPITAL
Second Case of TriChinOsis
 There Within 18 Months.
IS LIKE TYPHOID FEVER
Patient Likely to Recover-Had Tenn perature of 1o6 When Admitted Disease Came By Eating
 Raw Pork or Ham.
Special Hartford correspondence.)

Special Hartford Correspondence)
 The Hartford Hospital has a patient suffering from trichinosis. disease not as rare as some, but at the same time of considerable interest. The patient Is IS years old, a German by birth, who has been employed as mill-h hand in North Manchester. He has been too ill since his admission to the hospital to give any history Of his case, but the doctors at the hos pital have assumed that he got the disease in the conventional manner, by eating ham, or pork that had not been properly cooked.
 At any rate, he was admitted to the hospital on November 27 apparently suffering from a case of typhoid fever and with a temperature of 106, which would almost warrant calling out the fire department. He complained, how ever, of a soreness of the muscles and a blood test which was made disclosed a large increase in the number of white corpuscles in his blood. This indicated, not typhoid but the pres
 
 nature. and the physicians felt sure that they had secured their second case of trichinosis within eighteen months.
 Accordingly, cocaine was admins tered and a small section of muscle was removed from the patient. This was pressed between glass slides and a microscopic examination disclosed the trichina. showing conclusively the nature of the mans malady.
 So far medical science has found no means of attacking the organism and the only thing to do for the young man was done, and that was to reduce his temperature. He received ire quent cold baths and his chart shows a steady reduction of temperature. His recovery is expected.
 The disease has an interesting his tory and 1t is worth while to note that, for obvious reasons. veeetarians are not likely to have it. Rats are subject to it and rats infest pig pens. A pig, being notoriously unsanitary in its habits and indifferent as to It's diet. may capture rat and eat it. As the muscles of the rat are dissolved in the gastric mices of the pig the triehinae breed In that animal Tn due time the pig is slaughtered and, if its meat is thorouahly cooked, that is the end of the triehinae If 1t is not however the organisms breed and develop in the human.

Nervous Prostitution Overcome

In these times there is too much
work, rush, hurry and excitment;
too much strain on the nervous

Government Fighting Coca
Cola.

In the United States Courts at
Chattanooga this week a legal con-
test is being waged between the
government and the rich Coca Cola
Company
For technically this case is not
against the Coca-Cola Company.
1t is against the kegs of syrup seized
but of course it is up to the Coca
Cola Company to defend the case
as the manufacturer of the syrup
INsANTTARY CONDITIONS CHARGED.
Among other things there are
sensational charges concerning the
lack of sanitary conditions at the
factory where the seized syrup was
made This particular charge reads:
In this that said food product
in the mixing and preparation con-
tanned germs emanating from the
body perspiration and spittle of the
employees Of the C0ca-Cola Com
pany engaged in mixing and making
said food product; and it also con-
tanned germs due to divers insani-
tary conditions such as hanging
cobwebs, dirty factory, machinery
apparatus and appliances, insects
Of various kinds, including flies,
bees spiders and mice; whereof, and
by reason Of said germs and other
substances above enumerated, to-
gether with the insanitary surround
in9s and conditions incident to man
ufacture said food product was Of a
damaged and inferior quality, which
damage and inferiority was con-
cealed by the favoring and colorinG
aforesaid"
In addition to this, the govern
ment charges that the kegs were
misbranded because the product
is called 'coca-cola", and that there
is no coca nor cola in it, or very
little if any. Then, too, it is point
ed out that the label contains pic
lures of coca leaves and cola nuts
which it is charged, are misleading.
1t is freely admitted that the
drink contains caffeine and that this
caffeine is placedin the drink The
government claims that caffeiEeS
is an added Ingredient deleteriousi
to health and is fighting the drink,
on this line too.
That the final settlement of this
case means everything to manufac-
turers of this class of drinks, is
generally admitted. Should the
government win out interstate
traffic in such drinks would be pro-
hibited and as many of the states
have pure food laws fashioned after
the national law, the sale and man
ufacture in these states could be
prohibited.
1t does not matter which side
wins the battle here. 1t is safe to
say the matter will not be finally
decided until the United States
supreme court passes judgement ON
the question.

MEN OLD At IS

In the United States and Canada
today there are nearly million mer
who at IS can be put in the bald heat
! class.
When these men had thick vigor
GUS hair, dandruff made it's appear
ance.
That was the time to attack the
enemy of mankind-the persistent lit
tie devil called q dandruff microbe,
or germ that burrows deep down into
the hair root and saps it of the vital
ity that is so essential to the hair.
Young men or any man, for that
matter, beware Of the dandruf germ;
it is not q theory, but an actual con-
dition that confronts you. That dan
druff is caused by germ, is proven
beyond question. That this germ
destroys the hair root is today mat
ter of common knowledge.
Lenhart, the druggist, has the rem
edy that kills the dandruff germs.
Lenhart will guarantee it to efadi'
cate dandruff, stop falling hair and
itching scalp in two weeks, Of money
back. It is called PARTISAN SAGE,
and can be obtained at druggists in
every town in America-ask Lenhart
for 1t. The girl with the auburn
hair Is on every bottle Of Partisan
