WHEN WE WERE RICH

Christine Terhune Herrick, author of the just-published "A-B-C of Housekeeping" says that not more than ten years ago a liberal allow ance for the food of an adult was from three to three and a half dol lars a week. At that time, too, "a breakfast consisted of fruit. cereal, bacon, fish or eggs, bread, coffee or tea" and there was an equally gen erous bill of fare for the other meals. Now, owing to the rise in prices, from four and a half to five dollars per capita would be required, she notes, for a similar provision.

 Too High-TNvo Boys Break Arms ! Deming Appointed Conservator.

Eighty years, ago yesterday, an ad- venture-loving youngster, seven years r old, leapcd on board the first train of cars that eyer passed over what is New Haven and Hartford railroad be- tween Meriden and Berlin. Yester- day that same person, now almost < eighty seven years of age, boarded a K passenger coach at the Meriden pas senger station and rode over the same line. It twas Frederick H. Norton, the oldest resident of kensington.
 The incident did not occur to MT. Norton until, as he sat gazing out of window of the swiftly speeding train, he passed the J. C. Bauer place in the north part of the district. He recalled the fact that he spent Wash ington's birthday at that farm in 1885. It was then known as the General Selah Hart place.
 It was on that memorable day that an engine hauling a few work cars hove into sight around the curve. he tracks had just been laid and, as It was the first trip of d locomo otive over that route, the pulling little steed travelled very slowly and stopped ire ruently. The novelty of the occasion was so great that the tOWnSpeOple hocked to the railroad track, and q number of them. including young Norton, hoped on board the rear car and rode to d point slightly above , the Berlin depot. The work of lay ing the rails had progressed no fur ther than that point.
 H Although there is no way of know ing positively, it is probable that MT. Norton is the only man living today who took that ride M ost of the other passengers were much older than Mr. 4 Norton then was.

bad cough don't proceed to dose yourself
with lot of drugs that merely "stop'
the cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause--heal the
infiamed membranes. Here is a home
made remedy that gets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought pos
sible.
Put 21s ounces of Pinex $50 cents
worthl in pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated sugar syrup. This
gives you full pint of the most pleasant
and effective cough remedy you ever used,
at cost of only 54 cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
1t heals the infamed membranes so
gently and promptly that you wonder
how it does it. Also loosens dry, hoarse
or tight cough and stops the formation of
phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes,
thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway pine extract, rich in
guaiacol, and is famous the world over
for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment. ask your

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-There
are a million men in the United

ness, if the call came.
These are national guardsmen and

officers of the U. s. army admit
this would be a highly convenient
army nucleus in time Of emergency.
but the government doesn't know
where any of these men are except
the national guardsmen.
Roughly estimated. there are $780,
900 national guardsmen and ex-na-
tional guardsmen: over 175,000 army
and navy alumni between 100000
and 100000 Spanish war veterans and
$4,000 college cadets.

there are now S,705 officers and 120,-

volunteer officers and enlisted men

there were $4,000 who had drill, and
in the last ten years $4,000 men have
been graduated who had been trained

hind that easily make up the esti-
mated total Of $4,000. army officers
say. ...
AS to the regular army alumni, an
average of 1900 fails to re-enlist
each year. The total for 1914 was
14,349. Even with the loss through
deaths since discharge, incapacita-
tons, removal to other countries and
old age, the figure for twenty years
should be $4,000 to 100000 men.
