DECKHANDS SAVE SHIPMATE FROM
 DEATH IN WATER
Pulled Overheard By Rope, Tug Worker is Rescued
 From Stormy Waves.

Terrific southwest winds blowing up the Sound have caused serious delays in Sound shipping and this morning off the Penf1eId Reef light nearly caused the death of James Hanson, a deckhand of the tug John Garrett of New York He was carried overheard and was rescued at extreme risk by snipTnates.
 Working down the Sound the Gar rett with seven barges in tow was caught. in the blow. At the command of the captain Hanson with two other sailors went aft to shorten the heavy hawser that connected the tug with the foremost tow.
 In a moment when the hawser was slack, Hanson was engaged in pulling in when a sudden pitch of the vessel raised her stern high in the air and Hanson was caught in the outgoing rope and carried into the wake of the vessel.
 A cry of tman overheard" brought the engines to Q stop and while Han son struggled to keep himself affoat his companions grasped a throwing line and heaved the free end over board. Hanson grabbed it and nnak- ing the nd fast about his body he was pulled aboard and immediately given stimulants and put to bed. He was nearly exhausted and in the cold wa ter could not have stayed af1oat many minutes more
 Though the hapbor was compara- lively calm, incoming barge and tug boat captains report one of the worst seas encountered during the last few months. The tugs Garrett and Mabel are both ocean going vessels. Many smaller craft are lying near the reported seeking cover at New Haven and Norwalk

LYRIC THEATRE MEETINGS TO BE CONTINUED
 UNTIL CHRISTMAS

f The four Congregationa1 churches uniting their choirs. congregations and minister for five Sunday evenings have shown that the people of the city are willing to respond to a sane, well worked out, reverent religious service, devoid of sensational features of all kinds
 From 1.5oo to 1000 people as quiet and as gworshipfuI as in any church for the Sunday morning service was a. sight most inspiring to those who have been working for many. weeks to make the meetings a success.
 Comments by prominent people in the city seem to indicate that a new chapter in the religious life of the city is being written. Extensive adver- tising and earnestness on the part of the committee made the meeting a success. The subject for next Sum day night, 7:30, is ePrayer.'s "A chorus ofe2Oo sings.

GAsTRoNoMIO EXPLOITS.

Among the achievements of the American people must be reckoned their capacity to consume a colossal amount of food, particularly on such occasion as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years dinners. The socio- 1ogists might well investigate wheth- CT any other nation ever executed such stupendous gastronomic feats.
 The present generation has suffer ed to some extent in appetite because more of us live indoor lives. But still the American people are very largely an outdoor race. great many people pursue athletic sports. The immigrant classes come from E work in the fields and have wide and hungry mouths. And the propor- ton of people. engaged in outdoor work on farms is still large. Also there are many people who spent their youth in the newer parts of the country, doing pioneer work out doors. So a very laRge part of our ed habits that stimulate great appe- tites.
 The old fashioned housewife was not ready for winter without a vast store of pies, cakes and preserves. But great as this store might be, it rapidly melt ed into cavernous gullets.
 The Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are still occasions in millions of families where the national capac- ity for large eating is displayed. After the ordinary worker in a shop or of fee has partaken of one of these feasts, about all he can do is to lie down and trust to a benefcent Provi- dence.s After he has filled himself with turkey and probably some other fowl he may be asked to feast on some heavy course of game. And the perils of a voluminous dessert have not yet even been sighted. The towns mans undeveloped maw gasps and cringes before these barbaric ban quets.
 In town life the cost of living has abridged these gorgeous layouts. But in many a farm family, raising it's own food on which no middlemen or trusts lay a tax. where housewives still glory in cookery, wastronon1ic tri- umphs are still recorded that fully emulate the deeds of the fathers.

Better Than CalOmeI
Thousands Have Discovered pr. Ed wards O1ive Tablets are a Harm
 less Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substitute for caIomel--are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of pr. Edwards deter rnfnation not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel His efforts to banish it brought out these little 0live-colored tablets These pleasant little tablets do the good that calom el does but have no bad after effects They don't injure the teeth like strong HQuids or calomeL They take hold of trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? CaIomeI sometimes plays havoc with the gums So do strong HouidE It fig best not to take calo- mek but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
