Look back at your childhood days. Remember the .-dose'' mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel. cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.

WALTER J. WATERPROOF
 ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.
Dozen Witnesses Summoned In the
 Case For Police Court.

Walter J. Whittredges of Bliss place, who gave his age as 50 when hie name was placed upon the book at police headquarters was arrested Saturday morning at his saloon, No. 20 Water street by Policeman Charles Smith upon d warrant charging him with an assault upon Archibald s. Spaldiug on the afternoon of Sunday, October 30.
 As Judge John H. Barnes was out of town, Deputy Judge H. H. Pettis was consulted and the bond in the case was placed at $100. This was furnished for Mir. Whittredge by hotel keeper and he was released after short stay at police headquartera.4
 About a dozen witnesses have been summoned for the trial of the case which is the outcome of ar assault which has been a topic of discussion for a week; largely as to why no ae- ton was taken sooner by the anthori- ties. Their position has been that as no complaint had been made by any one. it was not incumbent uEo.a rhafn to- take any action though they had knowledge by report that the assault had taken place.
 A week ago on Satunaay Mir. Spald- ing had the cash register at the Whitt- redge saloon attached on claim for a coal hill of about $s0 and the next day he was knocked down and beaten in front of his home at BPS Main street by Mir.

sPEcuLATiNc ON HALL
 As LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
New Haven Regards the 'Willington Man as Possible to Receive Nom ination.


 According to political gossip Col. w H. Hall Of willington is considered for the republican nomination for iieuten- ant governor on the state which will have Mayor Clifford B. Wilson of Bridgeport as the choice for governor. The New Haven Union says:
 Political critics estimate the. guber- material stock Of Clifford B. Wilson of Bridgeport has jumped 100 points since his overwhelming victory in the Bridgeport mayoraity fight, and it is now obvious that the lieutenant gov- ernor will be a mighty strong factor in the coming fight for the republican nomination for governor.
 It is worth while noting at the same time that the up-state leaders are chagrined at the victory of Wilson. T. King, leader of Fairfield county, as to Wilson. The victory means that Fairfield continues as unit of strength, to be welded by Leader King, thus upsetting the theories of upstate c. O. P. sages.
 There is hence added fear in the Hartford camp that the coalition of King and UHman forces in the next republican state convention is still possible, and if this comes to pass, it will of course, be a material obseruc- tion in the path of Speaker of the House Frank B. Healy's aspirations for the governofship..
 The shrewd strategy of Leader King Is shown in the man he is said. to have picked for lieutenant governor as run ming mate for Wilson. This candidate for ssecond place on the ticket Is un- derstood to be none other than Col William Henry. Hall, the millionaire manufacturer of Wilmington, who as a member of several legislatures is a power in upstate republican circles. Such a ticket might mean the over throw of J. Henry Roraback as state chairman, for J. Henry still declines to throw his support to Wilson or any other candidate for the governorship nomination, though Wilson. Healy, Webster and the rest of the entries have ali made a strong bid for it.

NEW ENGLAND PRODUCTS
 PUT ON EXHIBITION
By New Haven Road in South Sta
 tion at Boston.

The New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and the Central New England Railway com pany are making an exhibit Of pro- ducts of the farms and. waters of Southern New England at the South Station, Boston, Mass.,s and visitors to the South Station recently who have witnessed this display have received n vivid impression not only of the sea food products for which this part of the country is famous. but also of some of the agricultural products of Southern New England.
 The exhibition is in large glass cases, one of which contains specimens of sea food products such as Holsters, mackerel, oy ysters, clams and crabs. These products are contained in glass jars, and are preserved in a special solution prepared for this purpose. which keeps the contents of the jars in their natural state.
 In another case are jars containing specimens of Southern New England's $ fruit and vegetable products. There are samples of peaches, pears, apples, strawberries, pluIns; grapes, cranber- ries celery. etc, that have been grown in Southern New England during the past season.
 It is the intention of the industrial of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and the Central New England railway, under whose direc- t1on this exhiDit has been arranged, to extend it considerably in the near fu- ture so that practically every product that is produced extensively in South ern New England and that may be exhibited in this manner will be dis played.
 The growing of vegetables, small fruit and truck in Southern New Eng land is already a large industry in this section, bur the possibilities Of growth in the production of these food products are unexcelled. The consump- ton of small fruits, vegetables and truck is growing more rapidly than the production, and the demand for such products may be shown from the estimate of one authority in one of the Southern New England states. This authority states that the consumption of food products in that particular state is ss0. .o0o, 900 per annum while the production of such food products is a. bare $20, ,000, 900 per annum.
