This education should be not
alone in the experience of the
bee-yard, but in the writings of
the most practical bee. keepers.
In other words, two or three
good text books should be pur-
chased and not simply read but
studied as one would study his
tory and grammar. Learn the
anatomy and physiology as well
as the ha bits Of the bee. Become
acquainted with all modern, ap-

improbable hives to the modern

Purchase a good smoker, a veil,

 Protection Association.

Chief Howard L. Stanton of the fire department has received the following holiday fire bulletin from the National Fire Protection association:
 Warnings for stores, churches and bazaars
 Holiday fires in these while filled with people are usually holocausts
 Light. inf1ammabIe decorations make fires easy to start and easy to spread.

 Watch gas jets! Decorations may be carried against them by air cur rents
 Watch smokers. Do not permit them to light cigars inside buildings.
 Do not make the slightest change in electric wiring without consulting electrical inspector
 A house of merriment is better than a house of mourning.
 Do not decorate your Christmas tree with paper, cotton, or any other inhammable material. Use metallic tinseI and other on-infiammable dec oratiOns only, and set the tree secure ly so that the children in reaching for things cannot tip it over.
 Do not use cotton to represent snow. If you must have snow use asbestos fibre
 Do not permit children to light or reHght the candles while parents are not present. They frequently set fire to their clothing instead. The tree it. self will burn when needles have be- come dry.
 Do not leave matches within reach of children at holiday time. Candles are meant to be lighted, and if the children can get matches they will ex- pertinent with them. They initiate their elders

WOMAN'S ROOM AT POLICE STATION
Big Improvement Made by Police Commissioners Room Refinshed and Fitted Out With Three Beds and Other New Fxtures-Men Lodgers Go Into Cells Now

In line with adopting modern meth ods and securing modern equipment and conveniences for the Norwich po- lice department, which has been one of the aims of the present board of police commissioners, a Woman'S room has been provided at police headquarters which is far ahead of any accommoda- tions that have previously been avail able there for any female prisoners or other women who for any reason at all might have to spend night at the police station.
 What was formerly used as the room for men lodgers the peripatetics who make it a regular thing to put up over night at what used to be called the City Hotel. has ben taken ober from that use and has been fitted out as a room for women. The Weary Willies who now apply for nights lodging go into the regular cells
 In order to fit the room for it's new use it was necessary to clean it thor oughly, washing floor and walls and ceiling with germ destroying liquids, and burning formaldehyde candles in

the room to get rid of vermin which might have been there and which could be reached in no other way than through the poisonous fumes
 All this was done with the utmost thoroughness, and the room was then completely repainted and revarnished, with the result that it came out as sweet and clean as the best kept apart ment anywhere.
 large new enameled wash basin was put in with new toilet accommo- dations. a new electric light chandel- fer hung, and the floor covered with new linoleum. Three new single iron bedsteads, with plenty of bedcIothes, have been supplied and put into the room which now looks much like a dormitory.
 Not all women prisoners who fall into the hands of the police will be placed in this room but the officer in charge will use his discretion as to the suitability of who is to be placed there in any particular case. It can be Used both for prisoners or for any woman who is detained or is staying tempora- riIy over night at the police station.

TOWN EMPLOYES NOT UNDER
 WORKMENS CONVERSATION
New Act Does Not Affect Relations of
 Town to It's Employes.

The worl1men's compensation act passed by the last legislature, and to go into effect on January 1st, 1914, will not in any way affect the relation of the town of Norwich to it's employees, said Town Counsel Thomas NJ ShielNs on Thursday.
 The town of Norwich, as are all towns, IS an involuntary corporation and not subject to be sued except as expressly made liable to suit by act of the legislature, and the legislature has never made towns responsible in dam ages to employees injured by negligence while engaged in carrying out the gov ernmental duties of towns Any town however that exercises speciap privil- eges, such as water departments, gas and electrical departments, or any such privileges that are run for profit would in relation to employees engaged in the business ef these spe- cial privileges come under the work mems compensation act. The town of Norwich exercises no such special privileges and therefore is not within the scope of the act.
