your mind known Ask all friends of
humanity to join in this protest in be-
half OF mercy and kindness to our I'M
fortunate animal wards Act promptly.
Does any one imagine that American
public sentiment sanctions this cruel
policy? Have We any shadow OF m
excuse for sending our horses TO Eu-
rope to aid any of these combatants
Is the quarrel our quarrel! Should
we not as neutrals cease directly aid
Ing and furnishing supplies to contend
ing armies in the field? Are we ex-
empt from moral responsibility in be-
ing parties to such practice? Can we
retain our self-espect and yet aid in
sending abroad these poor animals,
which we know are to be pushed into
the pit of the modern inferno of the
battlefield, for few pieces of silver?
Have we no duty to perform If we
are not callous to our responsibility
In this matter, shall we not lift up our
voices in protest?
Perhaps President Wilson <and con.
gress do not realize that there is a
great and growing resentment in re
gard to this attitude of our govern
ment. II representatives do not know
what the public feeling is, let them be
informed. Let us stand by our prin'
ciples and make ourselves heard. This

ALLIES ON GALL|PoLI
SUFFER FROM WATER

BERLIN. July 22.-Dispatches from
German correspondents with the Turk
ish army predict the humiliation or
capture of the allied forces on the
peninsula of Gallipoli. It is said that
the British and French troops are in
desperate straits from lack of water
The rocky southern part of Gallipoli
has no springs or wells, and all drink.
ing water for the allied soldiers must
be brought from the Greek islands by
steamer.
The arrivals of German submarines
and the fire of the Turkish batteries
have seriously interferred with these
transports and the water supply OF the
allies may be cut off entirely.
If this should happen, the British
French expedition would be lost. The
withdrawal of the landing corps un-
der the Turkish guns would be almost
impossible, and the Turks and their
German commanders confidently ex-
pect that eventually the whole force OF
the enemy will be compelled to sur
render.

COcOanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkal. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last every one in the
family for months.

field. Many shipments of these have
been made to foreign ports. A few
horses have been lost at sea. Most
of them will reach, or have reached the
battlefields in France and Belgium.
1t is said that over fifty thousand
American horses have already been
purchased. The vast majority of these
will die from wounds, exhaustion. she'll
fire, sickness, starvation, injuries and
i'll treatment. Very few of this enor-
nous number of horses will survive
the war. The average life of horse
on battlefield at the present time
is said to be anywhere from three days
to three weeks.
American humanitarians are aghast
at this condition OF things. For forty
years citizens of the United States
have been educated in the principles
OF kindness to defenseless animals.
Shall we pass laws to protect animals
from abuse at home and then allow
our horses to be shipped abroad, with
the positive knowledge that they will
be subjected to conditions of diabolical
cruelty? Is this consistent? Is 1t
fight? The question is fairly up to the
American people to decide. 1t is ap'
pdTeHlly d case vi humanity SCloun
cupidity; Of national honor versus
commercialism. II we permit this
thing, are we true to our principles of
humanity? Are we fair as neutrals
What shall the answer be?
How to Protest.
If you believe that this traffic, which
means so much excessive cruelty to
our horses, should be stopped, write
at once to the Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
president, White House, Washington,
d. C., and also to your United States
senators and your congressman, and
protest against this practice. ASK
these representatives of your people to
have action taken which shall stop

til the war is at an end. Write at

It is : time for action. Our sense Of
national honor and humanity has been
outraged. II we are TO violate our duty
as neutrals We might better send
arms and ammunition rather than to

and Kindness are dead in the land. It

ter Company for $16.0Oo, the price for which 1t was bought by the town on March IS, was rejected by a, large vote. Judge WeEch.S counsel for the water company, said that the com pany was not trying to buy the farm for speculation, but in order to pro- tect the public health. He said that since the typhoid epidemic in 1911 the company had endeavored to do everything in its power to protect the water shed and that in this effort it thirteen dwelling houses.
 First Selectman George Cook thought that the town ought to re- ceive for the farm at least s7,Ooo more than it had paid for it. At the request Of the meeting he read let ter from pr. J. H. Townsend, chair man of the state board of health. who, with O. H. Kellogg, chairman of the state board of charities, inspected this farm on Monday. Both agreed that the farm and its equipment in build ings would make an tdea1 a.1nashouse pr. Townsend said that there would be a possibility of contamination of the supply on the water shed unless the greatest care was used. He. therefore, Advocated some other Ioca-. ti0n- When the question came to a vota. however, the proposition to sell the farm to the water company was, rejected. The proposition for the purchase of the gTorr1ngton Water Company's plant by the town was con- sidered and 1t was voted to appoint a committee to take the matter in to consideration and find out the price at which it could be bought and report at future meeting.
