FIVE BILLS
Introduced Before General Assembly
 by Consumers League.

The Consumers league of Connec- ticut has introduced five bills in the
 present session of the general assem. 1 bly,.
 One is to increase the educational qualifications of children between If and 16 years of age who leave school to go to work by requiring a. knowl- edge of percentage. In 1909, ability to pass a test in fractions was made a requirement.. Undr this law, the state board of education had much latitude in making out the tests, and has actu- ally been gradually raising the edu- cational requirements by making tests harder year by year. At first it re- uuired only the ability to do the sim awhile it required compound fractions; after another period it required dec imal fractions. The limit has been reached in dealing with fractions, but by adding the subject of percentage we make the same procedure possible for them. They may begin by requir- l ing calculations in percentage only and later may add interest.
 A second bill asks for the appoint | ment of a woman vocational secretary to look after the educational interests 1 of working girls.
 A third bill defines the meanings of 1 the terms, manufacturing, mechanical, mercantile, factory and workshop. One l department of state has been defining l the Western Union Telegraph Go. as 1 ing the employment certificate law l there; another has been defining it as l not mercantile and not enforcing the 1 hours of employment law there. Many
 establishments employing women de- 1 clare that they do not come under the hours Unemployment law. In or der to remove all misunderstanding, | the league has introduced this bill, | having drawn up these definitions on 1 the basis of definitions already eStab- | lished by the Massachusetts law to-
 gether with recommendations made by
 our factory inspector. -'-'r: A fourth bill asks that mercantile establishments shall employ women and children not more than 55 hours a week. It aims to bring into line with the large department stores and
 drug stores a great many small com peting retail stores which are open
 several nights in the week and more | hours
 A fifth bill asks for the abolition of l night work for women between the l hours of 10 p. m. and a. m. in fac 1 tories and after 9 p. m. in stores. 1 Three factories in Connecticut are at ! present working night shifts of wo- men, largely to furnish supplies to the
 European armies: The Winchester Re beating Arms Co.,, the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, and the Connecticut
 Mills G. In 1906, 14 nations of Eu- rope entered into an agreement to
 abolish night work for women in fac tories, and England signed for nine colonies, including the Fili Islands: since then 16 other countries or prov inces have entered into the same
 agreement, including Bulgaria, Ser via, Manitoba, Victoria, New South Wales and so forth The American 1 countries south of Canada stand alone among enlightened nations in permit

GRANITEVLLE MAN CARRIED A GUN
He Was Fined at Hearing Before Jus
 tice of the Peace.

Charles Loper of Granftevflle was fined $40 and sentenced to 20 days in Jail by Justice of the Peace Morris Lubchansl1y Saturday afternoon on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. He took an appeal and was released on bonds of S250 furnished by his mother.
 Loper was arrested Saturday, Feb. 20 on charge of adultery with Mrs. Flora Corey, wife of William Corey of Montvf1le and his case continued until last Saturday, Loper going to jail in default of bonds of $1,000. Saturday when his case came up for a hearing. the state was unprepared to go on, although the defendant was anxious to be tried. A continuance until Thursday was taken, but Justice of the Peace LubcI1ansky would not consent to continuing the bonds which the accused was unable to furnish, in view of the fact that he was willing to be tried and Loper was released in the custody of his attorney. John J. Law1ess.
 At the time of his arrest revolver was found in Loper's possession and count of carrying concealed weapons was added to the complaint. Satur- day afternoon he was arraigned on this count to which he pleaded guilty. His defense was that he had been ad- vised by his former counsel, Attorney George c. Morgan, to carry the weapon and he did not know it was against the law.

ALUMNI DAY AT
 STATE COLLEGE AT SToRRS. Many Responses Have Been Received For March 6-Chance to See College in Actual Operation.

The first nlid-year Alumni day at the Connecticut Agricultural college on Saturday, March 9th, bids fair to be a great success. The committee in charge are much gratif1ed at the large number of responses received thus far from the alumni and former stu dents of the college. The programme for the day:
 Saturday morning. Inspection of col lege buildings and departments. D. m. Basketball, Yale Second and the Varsity in the new gymnasium. p. m. Supper in the dining hall, speeches, music, etc.
 D. m. Entertainment by the stu dents in the chapel.
 10.30 D. m. Fraternity reunions.
 The plan of having a Mid-Year AL umni day has proved successful where ever tried. It is a good way for the alumni to keep in touch with the de- veIopment and growth of the college and to see the college in actual opera commencement.
 The new arn1ory gymnasium will prove a great attraction and the game with the Yale Second team should be fast and well worth seeing. The new standpipe with it's observation tower and other new buildings will be of in- terest to all interested in the welfare of the college which is doing so much for the. state.
 Sleeping accommodations will be pro- vided by the students who will see that all guests are properly entertained. An auto bus will leave the Williman- tic depot direct to the college over the state road. The stage from EagleVille has been diScoE tinued

Rheumatism Soon
 Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys Failing to Expel Poisonous
 Waste Matter.

Tired. overworked kidneys allow poisonous uric acid to remain in the blood instead of expelling it from the system. That is the cause of chronic rheumatism. The disease gets into some joint or group of muscles and settles there, and only strenuous treatment will dislodge 1t.
 Rheuma softens the uric acid crys- tals lodged in the joints and muscles. causing the terrible pains, and passes them out of the system through the kidneys and bowels.
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. Unless it is pure the organs become diseased. Rheuna purif1es the blood and the kidneys. then regain their natural activity.
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma at a price so inexpensive that it is folly to be without it.
