Major Williams and his aides
are much interested in Holly, and

 BURN UP 55,OOO ACRES WITH
 TOTAL DAMAGE OVER $2OO, 900

and 25 buildings were reported burn ed in the fires. Conservative esti- mates place the losses to growing timber and sprouts at $183,000. The season was so dry that fires swept over hundreds of acres before they could be controlled unless discovered and fought at once.
 The following is list of fires that burned 1000 acres CT more in April and May, with the number of acres, damage done and cost of fighting:
 Durham, 2,000, $10,0O0. $S0.00: East Lyme. 1,s00, $5,000. $50; Franklin, 1000, $2,000, $76.so; Kent, 1000, s1,00O, s342O; Plainville. 1000, sS,000, s14.20; North Canaan, 1000, $500, $21.50; Oxford. 1000, $3,7S0, S142.70; Plainville, New Britain, L. 525, $500. $53.75; Warren.

 Losses so far this year, have been worse than for 1910 due to the pro- Ionged drought in April and Mays State Forester Spring, also by law State Forest Fire Warden, in his re- port for 1910, describes the use of bucket pumps to extinguish the fires with water.

tained for the entire week, but com mencing next Monday there will be a semi-weekly change of vaudeville. Each Monday and Thursday. The day light photo plays, however, will be changed daily from the opening night on.
 The first edition of "higher up'' vaudeville will be headed by what is claimed to be the most extensive, as we'll as most expensive exclusive feature act ever given at popular prices. Arthur J. Horwitz's latest big musical production "A Night in Bo- hemia.' To convey an idea as to the has seventeen people in the cast, in- cluding Miss Blanche Curtiss, the sparkling song comedienne, those two vaudeville graduate comedians, Carl Mills and c. J. Geddins, together with fifteen others including the Girly Beauty Octette.
 Another notable feature is the Four Brothers Rivers in series of amaz- ing acrobatic displays. The personifi- cation of grace and dexterity. The fashion plates of comedy sketch. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Cortes, in their new est hit "The Tamer" will no doubt prove a pleasant surprise in their half hour of clean cut laughter. One of the foremost teams of modern method comedians, Clinton and Nolan, in the Coney Island comic burlesque, ''The African Dodger" and Miss Lil- lian LeRoy, 'The little girl with the large voice" in repertoire of her newest song successes, are other im- portant features of the splendid pro- gram. Another favorable point at The Lyric, and one that will be great ly appreciated will be the complete orchestra of skilled musicians under the direction of Prof Percy Davis. It is safe to predict that in tonight's in itial public trial" there will be noth- ing found wanting at The Lyric.

FOOD FOR CONSERVATIVES Commissioner GunShanan Tells What They Should Eat-- Champaign of Edu- cation Having Effect-- Hundreds
 of Inquiries

That the public is aroused to the necessity of concerted action in the campaign which is being waged in this State to stamp out the White Plague" is evident by the many in- quires received,'' said Tuberculosis Commissioner John F. Gunshanan yes- terday, "and hundreds of people want to know what food is esential for a person who is run down and has the disease in a mild form.''
 Tt is difficult matter to say how much consumptive should eat or how often he should be fed Due note of the patients digestive powers, and the adequacy of his kidneys, must be taken.
 "A diet suitable for one man may prove unsuitable for another. While individual taste should be consulted, it is essential that the consumptive be made to like certain articles of food to which he may have formed a dislike or concerning which he has formed wrong notions, milk, beef and eggs, for instance.
 Many persons dislike milk, but it is an absolute necessity in the dietic treatment of consumption Consump- lives will better appreciate the neces- ssity for milk drinking if it is ex- plained to them that one glass of
 
 material as two eggs, three ounces of lean meat, sixteen ounces of oysters. one ounce of cocoa or cheese, or two ounces of bread. A consumptives life depends largely upon milk and he usually has an aversion for it.
 Milk should be drunk slowly It will be still better if 1t be slipped The common way of drinking milk, in great swallows, one after another. is the principal cause of it's being indi- gestible. The addition Of a pinch of salt often makes the milk more paIat- able. The old idea that milk makes one bilious Is erroneous. It is na- t711 tural l,,tS1f food for man and the most cas-
 Eggs should be served in a variety of ways: raw, soft boiled, poached, shirred, baked or light fried. But they are best when taken raw. If the pa tient dislikes the taste of eggs, he should swallow them whole. This can easily be done by breaking the eggs in glass and covering them with

LYRIC GARDEN
 OPENS TONIGHT
New Theatre Starts Most AuSpi- ci0usly With Fine Pro-
 gram

The vast interest aroused over the opening of The Lyric Garden Theatre of Variety will be appeased tonight when at 7:3O the doors of this new re- sort will be formally opened, making a bid for popularity and patronage. in the presentation of a program that in every sense of the word may be termed "variety.' There is an in- viting charm of novelty and mid-sum- mer freshness permeating the arcade entrance ,as we'll as the auditorium. both of which are generously strewn with various plants, floral decorations, and other forms of summer sugges- tionS that serve to make the actual cool comfort of the theatre more en- joyable.
 The policy adopted by the manage ment is one that will undoubtedly meet with popular favor, in as much as the schedule of prices are arranged so as to suit the purse of all sorts of people, while the performances given are to be of the sort destined to please the masses.
 Commencing tomorrow daily mati- nees will be given which will be par ticularly adapted for the comfort of ladies and children. For the opening week the present program will be re-

milk, or, better still, with a little lemon juice, salt and pepper, and tossing 1t off
 If a consumptive will eat three good meals a day-rare beef or mutt ton is excellent-and drink a few glasses of milk, say three between each meal-there need be no anxiety as to the sufficiency of his diet. The higher the temperature, the more the wear and tear, and the greater the need of milk, beef and eggs"
 MT. Gunshanan said it is impossi- ble for him to answer all those desir- ing information on this subject popular dietary for consumptives, whose digestions are good, in sanator- iums is as follows:
 a. m.-Fruit, cereal, toast and but ter, two raw or soft boiled eggs, one or two glasses of milk.
 10 a. m.-Two glasses of milk. crack CTS. bread and butter Or toast.
 12:30 p. m.-Soup, rare roast beef or lamb, or mutton, or turkey, Or steak, Or chicken; sweetbreads; one or two vegetables, like potatoes, beets, peas, beans, corn, spinach cau1iflower as- paragus, turnips, Bread and butter and chocolate, coffee or cocoa. A let tuce salad, with olive oil if the pa- tient likes it. Baked or stewed ap- pleS, DTedu PuuuIuS, Tice, CuSIolu, Juil> ket or the like.
 D. m.-Two glasses of milk, with one or two eggs. Bread and butter.
 D. m.-One or two glasses of milk. Two eggs. Bread and butter with jel- ly or jam. Meat may be given with the last meal, especially if the midday meal was light. Meat should never be cooked twice.
 Butter is very fattening and it is we'll to partake freely of bread and butter, provided always that it does not upset the digestion. Fats should be favored if the patient is run down. such as fatty fish, eels, salmon and sardines, also vegetables prepared with a great deal of fats.
 Sometimes the digestive system be- comes clogged and the patient shows a disgust for food. Here it would be we'll to cut out, eggs for a week and consult a physician, who may pre- scribe laxative and a tonic. Often good dose of Epson salts will remedy the condition.
