 lations between the Hosiery company and the James Talcott company of New York, which had been the sell- 1 ing agent James Talcott was re- elected one of the directors, how ever. "> Hereafter all the business of the company, both manufacturing . and
 selling, will be conducted from the New Britain office and two vice-pres- idents will be chosen, one to have charge of each of these ends of the business.
 It is said that there was no .op- position to the plan of the minority stocl4h elders to discontinue relations between the Hosiery company and the James Talcott company, but if there had been Francis R. Cooley of Hartford was prepared to lead the at tack of the minority. It was big victory for this group of stockholders when MT. Cooley was elected to the directorate.

PUT SULPHUR 0N AN ITCHING SKIN AND END ECZEMA Says this old-time Eczema rem edy is applied like
 cold cream.

Any irritation or breaking out on the face,s arms, legs or body when accom- panied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be readily over come by applying g. little sulphur, says & noted dermatologist.
 He states that boldsulphur instantly allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. Bold sulphur has occupied a secure posi- tion, for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of it's parasite destroying property Nothing has ever, been found to take it's place in treating the irritable and infam- matory skin affections. While not al- ways establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tatien and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any erup- tion again appears on the skin.
 Those troubled should obtain at any drug store an ounce of bold sulphur which is applied to the affected parts in the same manner as an ordinary cold cream.

Over Sudden Advance in the Price of
 Manganese.

Pittsburg, Feb. 19.-Of1cials of local steel companies are showing grave concern over the sudden ad- vance of about fifty per cent. in the price of manganese.

 A lot of 200 tons for local steel makers a few days ago was sold at $100 a ton delivered in Ptttsburg. Prior to this manganese could be pur- chased in Baltimore at s6s ton.

Phenomenal Suit and Overcoat Values

Think of going into a clothing store and taking your pick of any suit or overcoat in the place at one price! That almost puts it on par with a ten cent store and it far sur passes that favorite shopping resort in value giving. We are speaking of Title &- Rich at 149 Asylum street Hartford, who for the next ten days will let you select any suit, overcoat CT balmacaan in their stock and take it away for S9 That means that for this price you can buy suits and coats that were made to sell as high as $22. There are no restrictions- just look through the stock of hun dreds of suits and overcoats, pick ont the one that suits you best-it's yours for $9. That ought to appeal to everybody who needs clothes. At tha same time big bargains prevail in hats, shirts and trousers. Read the advertisement in today's Herald.

HOLDS TRIAL Of
CHRIST ILLEGAL
S. B. PettengiII Speaks Before
StudebakeT Club on Legal
Phase of Event.

An address on The Trial Of Christ
From a Lawyers Standpoint" by
Samuel 3. Pettengill was the feature
OF the Studebaker Civic club program
given Friday night The meeting was
in the nature OF a fall festival and
only short business session was held.
There was a brief consideration of
means oy which new sidewalks in GER
tain sections OF the Studebaker dis
trict might be secured. There was no
discussion on the question Of the pro
posed golf course in the Studebaker
park.
Mr.. PettengiH reviewed the Incl
dents connected with the trial of
Christ simply from the legal stand
point calling attention to the fact that
the question under consideration was
not a UNCONVENTIONAL one At the
time OF His trial. the speaker pointed
out, Christ was Onsidered as merely
an ordinary Jewish citizen for his di-
vtnity had not yet been established.
The speaker called attention to the
hatred against Himself that Christ had
aroused through His challenging of
the old laws and His holding of the
Pharisees up to ridicule This hatred.
cropped out against Leo Frank in
Georgia.
Christ's Trial Illegal.
After reviewing the life of Christ,
Mr.. PettengiI discussed the question
of whether or not as an ordinary citi-
zen, Christ had received a fair trial
according To the established Jewish
court procedure. The trial, he held,
was not fair for the reason, mainly,
that a night had not interviewed, as
the law provided. between the verdict
and the execution, and because the
Sanhedrim had met and conducted
the trial at night contrary TO estab-
lished custom. Other things OF a
minor nature that transpired during
this trial also went TO prove. the
speaker held, that Christ had been
the victim OF a blind hatred In re-
ferring to POntius Plate the speaker
drew a comparison between his cow
ardliness and the bravery of John
Marshall during the trial of Aaron
BurP.

Thirteenth District Fails to
Send Many Delegates to

ELKHART. Ind. Nov. 13. - The
18th district booster meeting Of the
Indiana Franchise league. arranged
under the auspices OF the Elkhart

At the lunch, served by women of
the Presbyterian church in the tenn
pies dining hall at noon, there were
practically 100 diners including a
sprinkling OF men. Rev. A. Z. Ogilvie
OF the Congregational church In
voked divine favor.
The first business session was called
TO order at 10 o'clock by DR.. Hannah

dent of the league organization.
Failure Due 10 Lack OF Work.
Mrs A. II. Beardsley gave an out
line of the local leagues achieve
ments in the last two years, and Miss
Eleanor Barker OF Indianapolis, a
member of the board OF control OF
the state league, gave a talk on why
the Vote Failed in the East" She
said the failure of suffrage in the re-
cent elections in New York, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania was be-
cause OF lack of organization in the
speakers who went out through the
states In the interest Of suffrage
found. in many small towns that the
voter did not know that they were TO
vote on suffrage. This failure to
get the question before the voters has
determined aus to make a nationwide
campaign of publicity" declared Miss
Barker I'VE expect 10 organize the
counties as we go and make sure that
the rural communities and the small
towns and cities know what we are
trying to do"
Distant Delegates Fail TO Come.
There was some DISAPPOINTMENT be-
cause delegates failed to come from
various points i'm the district-Goshen
being the only one represented eX-
cept Elkhart. From outside the dis
trict, Chicago was represented by Mrs.
j. A. Gill, and Bryan, Ohio, by Miss
Beach. The Goshen attendants were
Mrs. f. z. Mummert. Mrs. S. f.
SpGhn, Mrs Frank Kelly, DR.. Anna

ger. However, it had been anticipat-
ed that the district towns would make
only a poor showing. because accept
ances were not received to invitations.

optimistic view of the leaders.
Dolls dressed in yellow, represent
ing women marching to Washington
to demand their right of ballot, were
given as souvenirs. The hall was dec
