DRINKS POISON IN
SIGHT OF HUSBAND


Because of domestic troubles which
may have unbalanced her mind Mrs
Ida, Harinstein, wife OF Samuel HARM
stein, a well known grocery store
keeper at 2S9 George street, this after
noon, seized. a bottle she believed con-
tanned poison and drained it's con-
tents before her husbands eyes.
Ambulance Surgeon H. r. Bennett
who responded to a hurry call, found
that the woman had swallowed be-
tween and ounces OF pure alcohol
She was found seated in a chair in
the rear of the store acting in an ir-
rational manner and although the ne
ceesity for removal to a, hospital was
impressed upon her both by surgeons
and relatives she strongly opposed all
attempts to move her, absolutely re-
fusing to be treated or removed from
the house.
No information could be obtained as
to the causes which resulted in the
rash act other than that family diff
culties had arisen over which the
woman had brooded for some time.

CALL
FOR FAIRER
REPRESENTATION.
Pardee Plan Has Sup
port Of Majority Of
Population
Scheme Feasible and COnStitu-
tiOnal. Does Not Attack Prin-
Cipal Of Town Repre-
SentatiOn
Especial to The Farner5

Hartford, March THE bills Great
ing new towns in several OF the cit-
les are likely to bring on a sharp
clash between the small town repre-
sentatiyes and those from the cities.
It is the present Intention, that
these bills shall be made the basis
of joint demand by the representa-
tives of the cities upon the House, for
more representation for the cities
The purpose is not to attack the
small town principle, but tos insist
in the name of a majority of the peo-
pie, upon more representation for the
cities. Bills of this type have been
introduced by Hartford. Water bury,
Meriden, Bridgeport, Stamford ana
other cities. They all follow the Par
dee plan, which is to create in each
city a number of towns. purely for
the purpose of choosing Eepresenta-
tives, under a plan that adds no ex-
pense whatever, and which is const.-
tutionaI.
After yesterdays hearing on the
bills of Representatives -Pardee, OF
New Haven; Thoms of Waterbury,
Koppleman, Of Hartford, some OF
those interested in. the subject declar-
ed that this session would not pass
without movement being started to
change the basis of representation. 1t
was believed that representatives
from the cities would act together.
Mr.. Pardee has had a pamphlet dis
tributed showing the alleged injustice
of the present representation in the
House. Since 1918 the committee be-
fore which yesterdays hearing was
held has created Al towns out OF
towns existing in that year. These
new towns were given 30 seats, each
member representing when incorporat-
ed, 1,487 of population. The 10 larg-
est towns IN 1910 with population OF
5ss,455, have 20, representa- tives while
the 10 smallest towns with a total
population of 1872, have IL seats The
10 smallest towns have 9,185 popula-
ton with 20 members. or one to every
459 of popula ton. Each representa-
tive from New Haven represents 66,-,
900 persons.

Eleven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties of
fathers to their little boys The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
"I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and well, my boysll have lots
of fun"
Tommy's mother with twinkle in
her eye said; But, Tommy, what if
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what if your children are all girlsl"
Such possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. look Of blank dismay
passed over the child's face.
Gee! that would be the dickens!"

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns Abou
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cot
fee are often the cause Of the cloud,
ness, and that there Is simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper.
fence and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last %
years | would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
1.-THE best doctors | could get and
all the medicines ! could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. | could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that 1t seemed
it would jump out of my body.
Il came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that / was
about wound up, when saw Postum
advertisement. | had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead of
coffee and in less than three weeks |
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and | have never had spell
of bilious collie since.
MY appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and | can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since / be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and l relish 1t
as well as | ever did coffee, and | was
certainly slave to coffee"
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the lit
tie book, The Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be we'll boiled.
Instant Postum is soluble powder
A. teaspoonful dissolYes quickly in a
cup Of hot water and, with the addi-
ton Of cream and sugar, makes de-
lcious beverage instantly.
There's reason" for Postum.

Her Rrothar,s Voice.

Little Faith was possessed of a
most friendly disposition, but had not
yet reached the age where she could
understand the silence that may wrap
itself around wordless intimacy. In
fact, she demanded speech frequent
and loving.
One night her brother was studying
most assidulously his arithmetic les
son, and after calling to him several
times without receiving an answer.
she appealed to her father.
George is busy" said father.
Il know" replied Faith. but he
might at least have said, Shut up. "
