The Changing Age

Girls and boys from 4 to Io years of age undergo physical changes which tax their strength to the utmost and the strain is always apparent from pale cheeks, co1orless lips, and tired bodies-sometimes eruptions of the skin and the utter lack of the ambition and animation with which their younger years were filled.

KlNSELLA GIVEN
 LIQUOR TRANSFER
 AFTER LONG FIGHT

After a three cornered contest and much litigation, William c. Kinsella of Fairfield has been awarded a trans fer of a liquor license, now held by Thomas Noon in Fairfield center. Judge Bennett in the superior court this morning handed down the de- cision from the bench. The matter came up on Kinsel1a's appeal from the county commissioners, who had refus- ed to grant him a transfer. No re- monstrants appeared and as Kinsella proved he was the bona f1de owner of the business, he was allowed the transfer.
 There were many applications in the matter. Noon first had the n cense but when he was arreste he decided to sell. Chris Rist bargained for the license and made a deposit. Meanwhile Kinsella, who owned the building, learned that remonstrances had been filed and he feared the li- cense might be lost altogether. So he bought the tnrecious document. Then 8 remonstrance was filed against him. In order to preserve the rights of everybody the commissioners refused to grant anyone a license for that place. That put the question up to the superior court.

Enthusiasm At
 Conference Of
 The Candidates

The conference last evening between the Democratic candidates and the executive board of the Dem mocratic party was fraught with expressions of confidence of a sweeping Democratic victory. Plans were laid for thor ough1y businesslike campaign, found ed on the clear cut issues that sepa- rate the Republican and Democratic electors in Bridgeport. It is not ex- pected that any attempts at rallies will be made before next week, but those will be held in centrally located places, and will be so arranged as to be most effective.
 Conferences such as that of last evening afford an exchange of reports from all sections of the city. Men whose fingers are the pulse of the community have an opportunity to present their views for mutual infor- nation. Without exception, the re- ports presented to the meeting were indicative of a well developed senti- ment that it is time for a change in administration of local affairs.
