MOSCOW SHOWS LITTLE STRAIN
 IN WAR STRESS
Buying Power of People Never So Great, Says As
 sociated Press Man.

Moscow, Russia, Aug. 11--Life pro ceeds much as usual in Moscow, the commercial capital of Russia, and despite the rise in prices, trade in gen eral is good and the buying power Of the people was never so 4great-this latter fact being accounted for gen erally by the prohibition of vodka.
 At the customary seasons, buyers come crow ding into Moscow exactly as in previous years, and the big sum- mer market of Nishni NoVgorod has been doing we'll. The one difficulty in most lines of trade is Fto find goods enough to meet %he demand. The war has led to a, shortage of many things for which Russia was formerly de- pendent on Germany. Many of these things are already being made in Rus sia, others are. being brought from England or America. Here the difd7 Acu1ty of transportation figures fre- Quently, but many small wares are being brought through by parcels post One of the largest department stores in Moscow has brought in sew seral million parcels by this route dur ing the past season, all the packa ges being reduced to the size and weight of the parcel post regulations.
 Some things sold in Moscow have doubled price, but many others have living, according to business and com merciaI men, averages about Is. to- 20 per. cent. above last year.
 The harvest is expected to sprpass even the record harvest of =1913s and the only question sis how best to gather it and dispose of it.
 There. are more people in Moscow than in ordinary peace times, because of the influx of refugee families from Southwest Russia and Poland. AL though railway fares have gone up one-fourth,. owing to the imposition Q ticket the weekend trains out of Moscow are crowded with nnerryrnak7 CTS, and there. is standing room only on outgoing trains Saturday and in coming trains Sunday nights.
 The population, which, for a time, regarded the war almost as sort of lark or holiday. has now come to look upon it with almost exaggerated se- riousness. People generally are pre- pairing for war of long duration. Feeling towards the Germans is more bitter in Moscow than in any other Russian city. This was shown by the Irioting a few weeks ago, when mill lions of dollars worth of German property was destroyed in the shop ping and commercial districts. Feel ing against the Germans was accentu- ated about that time by the first re- ports of the Germans use of poison gases.
 Within the walls of the Kenlin. troops are being rushed through the preliminary drilling, preparatory to being taken to the advanced camps close behind the front. They leave by companies almost daily, moving away with sprightly step, singing l hymns as they go. En route, their trainsp ass the long ambulance trains I,returning from the front, laden with wounded and prisoners. So crowded is traffic on the main railroad lines
 that many of the troop and ambulance
 trains carry 50. to 60 coaches.

 Newtown,s Aug. 11.-George Myers, assistant superinte4den of the Seam less Rubber Co. of New Haven, ac- cornpanied by the master mechanic and other officials of the same con cerr came to Sandy Hook last week by auto on a tour of inspection with. a. view to finding a suitable manufac- turing plant for their rubber spe- cialties business. The concern ex- poets to leave New Haven and desire to locate outside a city, preferable in a. small town. They looked over the. Mantle Mills property, particularly the power equipments, and sought other information of the business men of the village. The information given seemed to please the visitors and the Sandy Hook people believe they offer the most promising solu- ton of the industrial problem so far presented The matter has been brought to the attention of President F. H. Mccarthy of the Board. of Trade, and it is understood this civic body will gladly cooperate, in this movement to bring another industry Ito Newtown. The Mantle Mills prop erty is owned by s. W. G1edhil of Bridgeport, who advertised it for rent or sale. It has been used for a va riety of manufacturing purposes for more than 25 years, but the present owner has put the plant into. first class shape The help problem should not bother a concern manu- featuring rubber goods as nearly every worker inf this village at some time or other gained experience with former rubber concerns The New Haven concern have been assured that no famine in the labor market need be apprehended. The Sandy Hook business men who have taken the initiative and started the ball rolling hope the public will second their efforts in behalf of better indus trial conditions in the town, and if necessary, offer inducements to all manufacturers to locate in town.

 OF SWOB0DA'S TRIAL

Paris. Aug. 11.-Major Julien, of the Paris permanent courtmartial, has closed his inquiry into the case of Raymond Swoboda. and has recon mended to the military governor of Paris that the proceedings be dropped.
 F Swoboda, who claims to be an American citizen, was first taken in- to custody on suspicion of being res. sponsib1e for the fire at sea aboard the French line steamer La Touraine and later was accused of espionage. He was cleared of the first charge and no convincing proof was found against him on the second. His re- lease from custody probably will be ordered soon.

A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with

sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,

the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-

Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it new
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Every Southern Farmer Should Aim

The farmer who has well planned
and well cared for garden has gone a
long way toward supplying his family
with healthy and,economical foods If
he adds to the garden fair size flock
of poultry, he will do still more to
make his farm self-sustaining.
Early springs and mild winters make
the production of eggs particularly
profitable for the southern farmer. On
many farms throughout the country

poultry eggs buys the groceries and

SUMPTION Select some of the Ameri-
can breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, or the Rhode
Island Reds. The Orpingtons are also
a good general-purpose breed.
On almost any farm there can be
fitted up, with very little, if any, cost
for new material, a poultry house that
will answer all the purposes of more
expensive buildings for keeping poul-
try. The essentials to success in hous-
ing are fresh air, sunshine, a dry
floor, and building that is free from
drafts.
1t takes a healthy, well-fed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be al
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs will be laid by hens in such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat. it is best to make them work for
most of their feed by scratching in a
litter composed of about four inches
of dry straw, leaves, or chaff The fol-
