RED CROSS SEALS.
Sales in Local Campaisn-Begin to
Show on Postal Matter.

Reminders that the Red Cross Christ
mas seal campaign is beginning to
make its presence felt locally are visi-
BILE now in every mail that passes
through the postoffice. while a number
Of the big manufactures are doing as
they have done in former years in
buying a large supply of the seals,
which they put upon the weekly pay
envelopes.
The Red Cross seals have all the
significance of the regular Christmas
stickers. but that does not begin to tell
their story. In addition to a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year
greeting, the Red Cross seals typify as
nothing else of their kind does the real
Christmas spirit of love and sympathy
and service for a brotherhood OF suf-
fering humanity. They carry a mes
sage of helpful interest to forlorn
hearts which cannot be directly reach
ed, however much we may be willing.
They give Joy alike to the heart of
the sender and to the recipient and
help to save the life and happiness OF
some less fortunate brother beyond the
personal reach OF either who has al
ready or may become the victim of tu-
berculosis. And tuberculosis is SC
largely a community sin.
Placed on correspondence, Christmas
gifts. pay envelopes. they carry al
once a gladstone message, a cherished
hope and a sympathy that cannot bt
misunderstood.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
CAUGHT RoBRING CARS.
Detective Watches Them at Fort Neck
Yard in New London.

The mystery which has surrounded
the recent wholesale thefts from New
Haven road freight cars in the vicinity
of New London was partly cleared on
Monday afternoon when Special Officer
Kane of the railroads force of detec-
tives caught Earl May and Truman
Brown, employees Of the road, in the act
of stealing from a car in the Fort Neck
yard at New London. May is employed
there as yard clerk and Brown is a
brakeman.

ed in the police court there and held
for the January criminal term of the
superior court. Bond was fixed at $3.50
in each case
May and Brown were caught in the
car at 215 Monday afternoon. Special
Officer Kane was watching the Fort
Neck yard when he saw the two men
break the seal and enter the car. He
watched for a few minutes and saw
open with axes, which were part of the
cars consignment. Then he walked
into the car and confronted May. May
denied that anyone else was in the
car, but Kane told him he had seen
Brown there too, and then Brown came
out from his hiding place. Both men
admitted that they had yielded to
temptation and were in bad" as they
expressed it. Brown said he had been
in the railroad business long enough to
know better and didn't know why he
had done it.
The men were not arrested at once,
as it would have tied business up in
the yard, May being yard clerk. May
put up a stiff fight when he was ar
rested at SIS. and it was necessary to
handcuff him.
In the last few months the New Ha-
ven road has suffered heavy losses.
The freight cars have been arriving at
New London with cargo intact and ar
irving at Midway short, which made it
certain that the steiling was being done
in that immediate vicinity. The losses
have totalled several thousand dollars
in a comparatively short time, Prose-
cutting Attorney Daniel NJ. Cronin in
formed the court.
May is but 81 years old. He had
been employed at Midway for the past
few years. Two months ago he was
promoted to yard clerk at New London.

FAVOR PREPAREDNESS.
Members of State Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution So AS
sure President.

A copy of the letter prepared by a
committee of the Connecticut society,
Sons of the American Revolution, re-
Gently, and sent to President Wilson
on the subject of preparedness has
been made public. The letter says in
substance:
The spirit and wisdom of the
founders of our government directed
toward the problems which confronted
them at the birth of this nation is
particularly desirable in the present
world crisis. Lives and property have
been expended to maintain our ma
tional integrity but who can doubt the
propritty of the cost? -
The recent experience of peaceful
peoples has demonstrated that kind
ness and love cannot be relied upon
alone to protect them in their rights
against the avarice and crime, but
that some strong means are required
to insure the enjoyment of those
rights.
I'VE believe that the welfare of the
whole country demands that our fed
eral authorities and representatives
make suitable preparations at this
time to guard the evils with which
others are sure to beset it,

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood dis
ease as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t
may be relieved, but it cannot be
removed by simply local treatment.
It breaks down the general health,
weakens the lung tissues, and leads
to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is SO sue
cessful in the treatment of catarrh
that it is known as the best remedy
for this disease. 1t purifies the
blood. Ask your druggist for it.
