DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA.
Rival Branch to Be Established i
Naugatuck.

Thirty-two Naugatuck women have
signed applications for membership in
the national order, Daughters of Isa-
bella. A year ago there were two
kinds of Daughters of Isabella in New
York and Connecticut. The New Ha-
ven faction, after much litigation in
the state courts, defeated the other
faction, branch of which was located
in Naugatdck and called Court Juana,
and gained an Injunction prohibiting
the use of their name. Since that
time considerable activity has been
shown by the yictors, who have been
busy esta blishing courts of their or
der, wherever courts of the rival order
were located. Court Juana remained
loyal to the main body and did not
disband but changed it's name to
Daughters of CASTLE. Preliminary
steps have been taken for the estab-
lishment of the rival court and it
would appear that the plan would be
successful National Regent Mrs.
Booth of New Haven will conduct a
second cultivation meeting in Nauga-
tuck during the first week in July.
Catholic women between the ages of
sixteen and fifty years are eligible to
membership. Local members of Court
Juana are not at all pleased with the
idea of having established branch of
the rival order.

COMES A TIME
When Coffee Shows What 1t Has Been
Doing.

''Of late years coffee has disagreed
with me- writes natron from Rome,

Its lightest punishment being to
make me logy' and dizzy, and it seemed
to thicken up my blood.
The heaviest was when it upset my
stomach completely, destroying my ap-
petite and making me nervous and ir-
ritable, and sent me to my bed. After
one of these attacks, in which I nearly
lost my life, I concluded to quit the
coffee and try Postum.
TT went right to the spot! / found
it not only a most palatable and re-
freshing beverage. but a food as well.
"A1l my ailments, the 1oginess' and
dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition
of my blood, my nervousness and ir-
ritabi1ity disappeared in short order
and my sorely afflicted stomach began
quickly to recover. I began to rebuild
and have steadily continued until now.
Have good appetite and am rejoicing
in sound health which 1 owe to the use

a permanent and satisfactory
roadbed, and a mile of such road
frequently costs $500 or $4,000
per mile, and will sometimes cost
twice that much, according to the
difficulties to be overcome. Of
course, the most costly roads are
the best and most satisfactory,
and in some of the more FRO,
gressive communities they are
building the best. Yet we note
that the papers referred to in
variably harp on the highest fig
ures as being the cost for the
building of model roads, and
never make any mention of the
lower cost that has been proven
and is accepted as the average
cost for building nine-tenths of
all the roads to be built. We try
to overlook the dense ignorance
that SO frequently attempts to
play watch dog over the expendi-
ture of the peoples money, but it
looks very much like the most of
this sort of kicking is pure cussed-
ness, and altogether without
rhyme or reason.

They Don't Take Their Cue Readily.
The assertion of the Times
Democrat that State papers
have so far remained silent on
the political situation, because
they are controlled by the San
ders machine" is a gratuitous
insult to the Independent news
papers throughout the State.
There is plenty of time to inaug-
urate campaign for offices that
are not to be filled until this time
next year, and we have no doubt
that at the proper time the dis
cussion will be full and fair. The
State press, as a rule does not set
up men of straw against which
to hurl their darts, but from an
observation of the last eighteen
years, we believe will not be 81
lent, when the time for speech
arrives. Kinder Gazette.
Bro. Steidley, of the Gazette,
overlooks the fact that about
nineteen-twentieths of all the
State papers of Louisiana are
Democratic, and they have for
several years declined to take
their "cue" from the Times-Dem-
ocrat, and this failure to be guild
ed in their political sentiments
is very evidently the chief cause
of complaint against the country
cousins.

The Editors Garden Sass.

On Wednesday, April IL, the
editor of the Chronicle had cab
bage, radishes, spinach, lettuce,
beets and endive on his dinner
table, all the product of his own
garden, that were planted in
December and have grown all
winter. The endive was bleach
ed as white as snow, and Judge
w. F. Blackman, to whom we
presented two punches, said it
was the prettiest and crispest
vegetable production he ever saw.
On Good Friday, April IA, we had
new Irish potatoes, ranging from
the size of a walnut to a big hen
egg, carrots, onions and cabbage.
The Irish potatoes were planted
Feb. IA, and were just sixty days
in maturing. For Easter Sunday
we propose to gather a mess of
satisfy (oyster plant for dinner,
and will have hard boiled eggs
and other satisfying viands.
Now, don't too many editors
chime in and say they can beat
our garden sass.
