For Baby's Mother
seasonable Advice on t
Health Of Children in
Hot Weather.

No one requires as much food IN
Summer as In winter. Do not over
feed children during the hot weather
Serve only the lighter and more easily
digested foods, and make sure the
bowels keep normally active.
Most OF the troubles to which chill
dren seem particularly susceptible In
summer have their origin in con-
stipated condition. The first care Of
the mother should be to see that the
children are regular. At the first
sign of a disposition to neglect this
important function a mild laxative
should be administered promptly
Cathartics and purgatives should
never be given to children as they
are harsh and violent in their action
and tend to upset the entire system.
The combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. CaldwelIs
syrup Pepsin, Is now very generally
used to correct stomach and bowel
trouble and is especially adapted for
children, being pleasant to the taste.

The continued wet weather has
made It impossible for the most OF
our farmers to cut their fields of grain
with binders and have resorted to
the old time method Of grading. Eigh-
teen cradles have been received here,
which We understand exhausted the
supply of the firms ordered from.
AS very few people are familiar with
this method, the cradles cannot be
handled with any degree Of dexterity,
but Messrs. Robert Leight, Booth and
Gardner have proved themselves ex-
perts. They are from Virginia where
the grain Is cut in this way and 1t Is
needless to state their services were

LETTER AND PARCEL
SENT AT SAME TIME
Post Office Department Outlines
Method o. Procedure Whereby
This Can Be Done.

Postoffice patrons often desire to
send letters and parcels so that both
will reach their destination at the
same time. According to the postal
laws it is not permissible to enclose
the letter with the package. In fact
Uncle Sam has such an antipathy to
this arrangement that any person who
does enclose letter with parcel post
package Is liable to fine Of one hun
dred large dollars.
There is a way. however, in which a
letter and a parcel may be sent 60 that
both will reach the addressee at the
same time. The regular parcel post
rate should be placed upon the pack
age, then if it is desired to send let
ter the regular letter rate postage
should be placed upon the envelope.
Fasten the envelope securely to the
parcel SO that the stamps on both may
be easily cancelled and the two will
go to their destination with colors fly
ing.
If the sender wishes to send the
parcel by special delivery attach the
letter as above indicated and both the
parcel and letter will be delivered by
messenger for the one fee. Don't for
get to put a special delivery stamp
on the consignment.
The following are the only excep-
lions in the way Of writing or print.

According to these regulations there
ia not much leeway for the person
who wishes to send a little confiden'

package. A clear conception of this
rule will aid many people in follow

the last letter.

NEW AUTO HIGHWAY INTO CITY
Would Relieve Congestion Through Thames Sreet-ndus trial Committee of Chamber of Commerce Has About Cleared the Way to Bring This About-Improve Road From Trading Cove to Near the Fair Grounds.

road raised. a fine highway will be the result.
 At the present time the road is IT feet wide with a shoulder, but 1t is considered that five feet could be add ed to the width of the road. There Is about 500 feet running along by the Trading Cove brook that would be in the town of Montville and for part of this distance the road would be raised and a retaining wall would have to be built.
 The project has been given consid- erable help by the cooperative spirit shown by Hall Bros, who have agreed to let the town use the gravel from a bank that they own and which will be very handy to use for the grading that will be necessary. It is thought that the work can all be done before win ter.
 When the committee first had this work turned over to them 1t was on a vote to take up the possibility of a widening of Thames street, but 1t was realized that this would be a very ex- pensive proposition, and their atten- ton was turned to this other plan The committee members, who are c. J. Is- blister, chairman, W. H. Cruickshank, George w. Carroll, o. E. Wulf and H. R. Branche, visited the location with Mayor T. c. Murphy, First Selectman A. w. Lillibridge and Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher. They also conferred with the Montville selectmen.
