WILL SEEK TO LEARN
 PROBATE JUDGES ATTITUDE
About Committing Children to County Home-inquiry Starts from New London,


 In response to an invitation from George s. Palmer, the president of the associated charities of New London, Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell of this city was present at the meeting of the society this week and gave a very interesting talk regarding the administration or the New London county home. As some doubt had been expressed re- garding the proper care of the chtl- dren who are farmed out from the home, Mrs. Mitchell dwelt especially upon this feature. Although she did not advocate the present system as pe- ing ideal, by any means, yet she show ed that the best work possible is being done under the present circumstances. According to her statements, many safeguards are thrown about the chll- dren who are farmed out, and in addi- tion to the visits made by the local visitors, a thorough investigation IS made by the state board of charities of each home where & child is adopted. at least once a year. Besides this, whenever a complaint is made from any source, a careful investigation is made. After her talk Mrs. Mitchell responded to rapid fire of questions.
 Upon motion of Ernest E.. Rogers, Secretary Lynde was instructed to co- operate with the secretary of the Unit ed Workers of Norwich to learn the attitude of all the judges of probate in this county toward the county home. and to ascertain if they are reluctant about committing children thereto and their reasons.
 It was mentioned that there is at present so much work outside which the New Lcndon society is able to se- cure for its applicants that it has not recently been able to get very much work done in It's woodward, and that therefore some of the orders have not been filled very promptly.

The Bates Co.'S mortgage on the automobiles became effective Jan. of this year and the petition in bankruptcy was filed May 5. one day before the expiration of the four months. Under the law, the es- tate claimed the automobiles for the creditors, while the Bates Co. attempt ed to claim ownership on the chattel mortgage.

Wright. to have eight companies of coast artillery from Forts Wright and Terry, together with the Eleventh Coast Artillery band, prepared to leave for the front at a moments mo- tice. did not necessarily affect the na- tional guard here.
 In the event or the eight companies being moved he said there will be four companies left or sufficient men to man the guns of both forts. Only in the case of an attack on the forts would it be necessary to enlist the aid of the guardsmen.

LOSS OF APPETITE
 IN THE SPRING

Loss of appetite is accompanied by loss of vitality, vigor or tone, which IS q more serious loss. It Is common in the spring because at this time the blood is impure and impcver- ished and fails to give the digestive organs what they. need for the proper performance of their functions.
 Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar- saparilla. It makes the rich red blood your whole system demands. It is not simply q spring medicine-but lt ta the best spring medicine.
