John GoodseIr who is the buyer for the SeaIshipt company has over 30O,OO0 bushels ready for shipment. Besides these between 100000 and 100000 bushels have been sold to each of the following: H. c. Rowe 6 Co.,, New Haven; H. J. Lewis Co.,, of Bridgeport; Jos, Ellsworth Co.,, of New York; Landcraft Bros, of New Haven; Ike Stevens of Rowayton; Smith Bros. of New Haven; The Merwin Co.,, of Mil ford and several smaller concerns.
 Each of these companies has a buyer on the ground and each buyer has his friends among the Shelters The price is always uniform and it is seldom that any company bids for the trade by raising the price. This year the Shelters receive 1-2 cents. It has been believed that the Shelters the hard work and the exposure is considered as we'll as the time lost during storms the work pays less than most any industry in this vicinity But it just suits the sturdy and indepen- dent :'Shore Lily who is bout the best fellow in the world after his rough exterior has been penetrated. These men would not exchange their life with all it's attendant hardships for the best job in the finest shop in the city. Most of them own their own homes and they are the best pro- viders in the world
 What are you going to do for shells when the bed in the river gives out ?" was asked Capt. GoodseI yesterday. There are enough shells in that bed in the river to last a hundred years. No one knows how deep that bed is.

Keeping Old Age at Bay

You cannot pick up paper or mag Rzine nowadays without finding some one has either asked or answered the question How shall I keep old age It bay2''
 -Eaere is nothing that will hsap as ,sauch as to keep up a good circu- latfon and thus eliminate every day ounces of most deadly poisons which should be thrown off by the pores, the liver and the kidneys.
 Elimination by the kidneys Is help ed by drinking much cool-npt iced- water. Be sure and drink glassful of water the first thing in the morn ing and the last thing at night. If you wish you can add a teaspoonful of lemon juice to this.
 The latest edict from the dictarian Is that you may drink cool pure water with your meals, provided you chew your food carefully and do not take it as you do pill, by swallowing it in copious Eulps of water.
 Most of the water cures could he effected at home if one drank pure water in the same quantities, took the same exercise and diet one takes as a cure.
 For the elimination of poison by the liver one should keep 1t in working large quantities, and starch and meat and sugar in moderation.
 One should never drink more than one cup of coffee at breakfast and a small cup of black coffee after dinner. Tea-if you must drink its better taken in the afternoon after the busi- ness of the day is over and before you have prepared for the entertainment and pleasures of the evening.
 This afternoon tea is growing more and more popular, and if 1t is rather weak and hot and is drunk amid pleasant surroundings; it is one. of the enemies of old age

MEMORIAL DAY MEMORIES

s(By Congressrnan Clyde H. Tavenner)
 Washington, May 31.-Once more the old blue ranks have joined with dfes and drums sounding, the rem nant of the Grand Army has come down the street. It was Memorial Day.
 Again the old 'boys" have met at the post hall. It is not such a nu- merous company as met there ten years ago, or five, Or even last year. But it is still Bill" and "Tom," and tsCumrade," with a heartfness that even age cannot take away. There are solicitous inquiries after health. Hands clasp silently in reunion. Many are wondering whose place in the pa rade will be vacant next year, next Memorial Day. "Jim,' is beginning to. look feeble. ''Sam's'' shoulders, aI- ways so erect. are beginning to have an Involuntary stoop in them!
 The Relief Corps has been busy for several days. But now, most of the active work of preparation has been done by the grandchildren of the vet erans. The grandsons have been out in the woods gathering flowers. The granddaughters have arranged the memorial baskets and bouquets. And grandchildren this year have placed the marker flags in the cemetery. They used more flags this year than ever before.
 
 tary appearance is kept up this year by the presence of Spanish War vet erans and the Boy Scouts. But the chief interest is in the brave little band of Grand Army men. There is a pitiful attempt, but unsuccessful, to appear in uniform. With most, the uniform consists merely of the black felt hat with it's gold braid. With some 1t is merely the gold buttons in suits of brown, black and gray. While a very few still wear blue suits, brass Buttons, felt hat and all.
 Most of them still make a brave at tempt to be military in bearing. But for all but a few the exertion is ter rife. Some still have their buoyant step, but for most the march is halt 2E and painful. And some, who fave always marched before this year, are riding in carriages and automo- biIes-

the ills of democracy is more democ- racy! It IS such a. faith in the peo- pie that gives to many of us, amid the political and industrial transfol nations of the time, the guarantee of security which must be had, and for any guar antee beyond this pledge of faith. We SC no need.
 It is obvious, however, that, to many minds, moral faith of any kind can give no guarantee of things mater ial Blind trust in human nature means nothing when we are talking about: such matters as governments and economic systems. We must have something more tangible than this is the cry, if we are to believe that the new social movements of the age are anything more than so many needless attacks upon the integrity of our civilization.
 To this demand am confident that a satisfactory answer can be gwen and I find this answer, not in the neId of ideals, but in the field of method. The guarantee of security, amid the chaos about us, is to be found in the method of action characteristic of the true social reformer of the times, which in nothing less than the method of exact science. Missionaries, dream DTS, agitators, blind propagandists. there are a-plenty in the social field to-day, and many are they who follow whithersoever they lead. But the re- former who really counts an inf1u- enee at this moment, and therefore may be regarded as typical of effective social progress, is nothing more, and certainly is nothing less, than scien- tist who makes society his laboratory and who follows therein the experts well-approved methods of observation and experiment. The social leader of this new age is primarily an investfga- tor, and only secondarily a reformer. His first demand is for facts; and only when these are gathered in sufficient mum bers, are classified and tabulated and compared, and then at last made to tell their tale, does he draw his in ferences, formulate his doctrines and lay down his program of reform. There is much of the prophet in the true socioIogist-must of the poet much of the humanitarian and lover of mankind. These qualities must never disappear, if the social move m ent is to remain wholesome, idealis- tic, and thus genuinely benef1cient- But at bottom, at least for the pres petua1 guarantee of sanity and safety.
 Here now is the guarantee of secur- ity for which so many cautious per sons of our time are vain1y seeking. So long as we look upon the new mor- al and political movements, which are so characteristic of our age, as mere agitations, we may feel alarm for the future. It is when we look closer and see that behind the agitation for change, there is the accuracy, precis- ion, and certainty of the scientific method, that we may feel that "all is we'll"

HIT At COAL THIEVES
People Stealing Coal from
Cars May be Nabbed by
Federal Officer.
HEAVY PENALTY is NAMED

Hereafter petty thieves who help
themselves to bucket of coal from
car, bound for point outside Of the
state OF received from a point outside
of the state, will have to reckon not
with the police magistrate, but with
the federal government.
News was received here today from
Washington that President Taft has
signed the Carlin bill, which places
interstate shipments under federal
jurisdiction.
The local officers of the c. and N.
w. railroad are elated over the pas
sage Of the bill. There has been
much stealing from freight cars, and
this bill, it is thought, will make it
very Improbable for the thieves, who
in the past have been very successful.
The penalty for stealing from inter
state shipments is fixed at a fine not
to exceed $4,000 and an Imprisonment
OF not more than ten years.
Intrastate shipments are not affected
by the new law, and thefts Of goods
from such shipments are to be prose
cuted by the local authorities, as
heretofore.
Kenosha people who have been in
the habit of stealing coal from the
freight cars, have never been partic-
ular as to where the coal came from
or to where it was consigned. Thus
it is very possible that somebody will
come in for some very. severe punish
ment in case they persist in their
acts. Scores of arrests. for this crime
have been made here IN the course
of the last few years but local authori-
ties are inclined to think that ss soon
as it becomes known that the new bill
has gone into effect the thefts viii
become fewer.

Splendid New Building For
Thomas B. Jeffrey Com
pany Nearly Completed
CONTAINS MODEL SHOW ROOM

A new office building, to accommo-
date the administrative forces of The
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, is now
nearing completion at the west side
works. The building was designed by
Pond and Pond, Chicago architects.
It is 1873 feet long by so feet wide,
with two concrete floors, constructed
of vitrifed paving brick and is equip
ped with a complete sprinkler system.
At the north end of the first floor will
be show room, for the suitable dis
play Of current models, so by Sc feet.
The interior finish will be in oak with
tile floor.
Ten thouss nd square feet Of floor
space will be added and of this forty
! five hundred square feet-or. about five
times as much space as is allowed at
present will be available for reception
of dealers and their customers.
The entrances are in the center of
the east side and adequate arrange
ment has been made for reception
rooms for men and women, and en-
ploye's lockers. South Of the lobby
on the first floor will be the service,
credit and accounting departments
and the cashier S Office.
The new building will make it pos
sible to bring together the two divi-
sions Of the service department. which
will make it much more convenient
for visiting dealers to handle service
matters, as all the records and en-
ployes will be together and easily
accessible.
One feature of the new building
which is worthy of comment is that
all typewriters and other such ma
chimes will be located so as to insure
quiet throughout the office.
The purchasing department will still
be located on the first floor of the
old building, while the stenographic
and other clerical departments will
occupy the other available space.
The executive Offices are in the
north end Of the second floor In the
extreme south end are the advertis-
| ing and car order departments, while
the rest of this floor is given up to
| the sales department..
