ENDORSED At HOME.
Such Proof As This should Con
vince Any Hartford Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better. none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experienhe
when 1t is for the public good is an
act OF kindness that should be APP
preciated. The following statement
given by resident of Hartford adds
one more to the many cases of HonA

warships from Hampton Roads to
Colon, to participate in the formal
opening of the Panama Canal by

as leader of the long line of fighting
craft of all nations, and then, after
proceeding northward, enter the
Golden Gate at the head of this i'm
mense armada and attend the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition at San, Fran
cisco.
This announcement was made to-
day by Secretary Daniels, who has
been working long time to bring
this notable program about. Origi-
nally the President was to go from
Washington to Hampton Roads to
greet the commanders of the inter-
national feet as they arrived and to
participate in the ceremonies at
tendant upon. the departure of the
vessels on their Ion gcruises around
the North American Continent.
Afterward he was to make the
trip by rail to San Francisco to visit
the Exposition at a convenient later
date.
The President. however, has de-
termined now to do full honor to the
Exposition by making HIS advent
upon the scene at the head of an
armada the like of which the world
has never seen. Also he will redeem
his long standing promise TO Colo
mel George w. Goethals by not only
visiting. but formally opening the
great Panama Canal.
He will make his passage through
that waterway on the battleship

A MISTAKEN IDEA

There are some people who still resort
10 dngged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unaduiterated nourishment in SCOTS
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking il because they fear II may
lead 10 excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea. because SCOTS
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper
ties aid nature TO throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, aud
fiesh 10 formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS.

Chained Themselves.

London, June 20.-Two militaA
suffragettes chained themselves to
the statue in front of the Royal Ex-
change to-day and began to har-
rangue passersby. Soon an unsym-
pathetic crowd collected and began
to hiss the women. Then stones
were thrown. The militants tried to
flee, but could not free themselves.
Policemen fought their way through
the crowd and rescued the women.

ANIMALS FROM THE HERDS.
Approval of Regulations for Dis
tribution From Yellowstone Park.

The Department of the Interior is pre-
pared to distribute animals from the
herds in the Yellowstone National Park,
the regulations for 1913 having just been
approved by Secretary Lane. No charge
is made for the animals, but the parks
receiving them, whether municipal, state
or federal, are required to pay for their
capture and transportation
The regulations permit the distribution
of 800 elk during the current season, not
more than fifty to be allowed to any one
state. One or two bears will be given
to any public park or geological garden
and a limited number of beavers will be
distributed. The Yellowstone PARK has
also a surplus of bull buffaloes. and one
or two each will be given to the public
parks that will give assurance that for
each bull buffalo donated the authorities
of the parks will add two COW buffaloes.
No COW buffaloes in the Yellowstone herd
are either given away or sold.

the moving OF this machine TO George
town all the machines of the company
are laid up. The Smoot machine is OPP
