A NEW CLUB.

A prominent clubwoman is quoted in western paper as being desirous of forming a "Get-along- without" club. 1t is her idea that the present high cost of living may be blessing in disguise.
 "Most of us are so accustomed to having things" says this woman, "that we have entirely forgotten the pleasure of getting along without. It never occurred to me until recently, for instance, that might do with my last years coat, instead of buying 8 new one. I've had the old one scanned up bit, and you've no idea of how good it looks. It's the same with hats. I've resurrected several old frames from the attic and trimmed them up. and every body says they're most becoming. As for our table-that's where we're learn ing beautifully how.,well we could get along without. We always uesd to have soup and two vegetables and a salad, besides the meat and potatoes, and a heavy dessert. Now we have eliminated the soup and have either one vegetable or salad: never both. Or if we have rice we don't have pota. toes. And we usually just have a lit- tie fruit or preserves fer dessert. And if some one uses honey or jam or jelly on bread they don't use butter too. We all feel better for the change.
 "Also, we have discovered that we can wait little time for the new books from the public library, instead of buy. ing them.
 The idea is worth thinking over. Why not start "Get along. without club-you who have more than you need-in YOUR neiehborhood ?--New York Globe.

MILK AND BUTTER SCORING.

The sixth quarterly milk and butter scoring was held by the Dairy and Bacteriology Departments of the Con necticut Agricultural College, Storrs. on November 9, 1916. There were twelve entries of milk and three of butter as against six of milk and one of butter at the July scoring.
 In the milk class there were bu three samples that scored above S5. The names of the exhibitors of these three samples follow:
 Mrs. George Seward, Guilford, score, 94. l6.
 Webotuck Farm, Sharon, score, 89. S..
 Connecticut Colony for Epileptics, Mansfield score, 86.88.
 1t was very striking to note that the average scores on flavor and sediment for the twelve samples were parti- cuLa-ly low, 20 56 and 7:65 respec. lively. 1t is evident from the low average score on sediment test that with the rush of late tall work, etc. :. the herdsmen have not given their COWS the attention they will receive after getting adjusted to winter condi- tions.
 There are two classes Of exhibitors at our scorings, those who sell milk in bottles and those who sell milk in cans. The latter class simply bottle two pints for scoring. The scores to date for sediment for these two clasess show that there is very little difference in the amount of sediment found in the milk of these two classes of producers.
 The amount of sediment found in the milk depends largely on the kind of B milk pail used and the method of straining and the effect of these two factors as we'll as other possible ones will be studied later.
 4 list of those receiving a score of 90 or better on butter, who wished their scores published, follows:
 E. H. Mccall, Leonards Bridge, score, 91.5.
 Connecticut Colony for EpiIeptics, Mansfield, score, 91.0.
 The fact that butter is now very high in price makes it possible to se- cure relatively high prices for most any grade of butter. 1t should be borne in mind, however. that the high. est quality mean highest price in both times of war and times of peace

ANOTHER OPINION.

In the September issue of Physical Culture the editor stated that it was his belief that infantile paralysis was due to intestinal disorders; that fer. mentation and putrefaction brought about certain changes which were in reality the direct cause of the symptoms associated with this cruel disease.
 It is therefore extremely interesting to note that estigations made at Johns Hopkins University by physi. clans of the Medical Department, have confirmed this conclusion. Autopsies were performed on thirty.five cases showing true infantile paralysis, and in not one of these cases were the ton- sils affected, while in every case there were definite intestinal abnormalities. Because of this these physicians main. tain that the intestines, and not the nose or throat, have been the source of infection.
 The public reports of these investiga- tions indicate that the physicians of this famous university expect to de. finitely locate the germ of the disease, and also to find a serum which will serve as an efficacious remedy.
 One Of the physicians of the Johrs Hopkins University has advanced the theory that candy, ice cream, fruit and other uncooked foods are primarily re. sponsible for bringing the germ into the system. Foods of this sort, if eaten to excess, would certainly bring on digestive difficulties, and no doubt in an occasional case the symptoms as- sociated with infantile paralyis. But any other indigestable foods, or an ex. cess of foods of any kind would have the same effect, If the digestion were weak

STILL AT IT
Endless Chain of Letters Still Continue
 to Arrive.

A few weeks ego The News publish ed a communication from Minneapolis, Minn., telling of the thousands of let ters being received addressed to a cer. tam room in local business block; the occupants of which had disappeared as the result of federal investigation in- to their methods of doing business.
 That the matter is not closed, is shown by the receipt few days ago. by Canaan lady, of one of the letters from perfect stranger to her from clear across the continent.
 This letter promises ito introduce and advertise ready.t .towear goods, there will be given to anyone comply ing with the conditions here stated, ,one 1916 model petticoat retailed at $4. 90. '" The further conditions" are that the sender write five letters to friends, send their names and addresses with dime to the office stated, when they would receive the silk petticoat without further expense"
 That this is not the only letter re- ceived is acknowledged by some of the ladies in town"but don't t say told you so," some of whom were fortunate enough to get their dime back, but never petticoat.
 AS long ago as October 80, the Post office Department issued what is known as fraud order stating that there was evidence that the Exchange" is conducting a scheme for obtaining money through the mails by means of false and fraudulent pretenses" and further "that communications address. ed to this concern are unmailable-all postmasters are hereby directed to withdraw from the malls all matter of any kind addressed to this concern and return the same to the sender.''
 Four weeks after this order was is- sued the letters are still being sent, in spite of the fact of the publicity given the scheme. The letter before us con- ing three thousand miles from strang. CT shows how far the knowledge of the scheme has carried, Keep the dimes at home, buy Christmas presents of the local merchants, they can deliver the goods.

NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE.

The interesting question of news paper influence is being considered in the light of the election. In Hartford the morning paper was for Hughes and the two evening papers for Wilson. The town went for Wilson. In New London the weight of newspaper au- thority was on the republican side, but the town went democratic; while Bridgeport went republican under like conditions. In New York, Wilson had the press, but the state went for Hughes. In Waterbury two papers were for Hughes and one for Wilson and the city went for Wilson. We have always believed that newspaper influence de. pended greatly on circumstances. They are powerful to lead people in the way they are inclined and to draw others along with them, but almost powerless to prevent them from going the way they want to go.-Waterbury Ameri- can.

BUSINESS MEN MEET
Listen to Interesting Report of State
 Convention.

The meeting of the Business Mems Association last Thursday night, de- served larger attendance; of course the very stormy evening prevented some from being present.
 Those who braved the storm were treated to very comprehensive report, given by Charles Laffargue, of the meeting of the State Chamber of Com merce held in Middletown, October 26, to which he was a delegate from the local association. The report was generally appreciated as was shown by the generous applause given MT. Laf- fargue as he concluded.
 It was voted to apply for member ship in the Connecticut Association Of Civic Executives. The advantage of such membership was described by MT. Laffargue as placing the local organi- zatlon in touch with statewide ex. ecutive body that stood ready to give information and assistance in every way to the smaller associations.
 John Rodemeyer reported as mem Der of the committee to confer with Highw ay Commissioner Bennett, that dS GIl6 I6SulU OL bllO MIL Bennett had come to Canaan meeting the citizens as reported in The News of October 9.
 After an informal discussion of the membership question it was generally admitted that there was room for an increase in the membership of the as. sociation. The secretary was instruct ed to prepare an application card or certificate to be used in a canvas for new members.
 In the absence of MT. E. A. Creevey, Charles Laffargue acted as secretary of the meeting.
 President Parsons announced that the December meeting was the annual meeting, the time for the election of officers for the coming year.

1916 LUMBER PRODUCTION.

The census of the lumber production of the country for 1916 will be under. taken by the Forest Service in coopera.
 tion with the National Lumber Manu. lecturers Association. The informa. tion to be obtained by this work, it is stated, will be of immense benefit to the lumber industry, the Forest Ser. vice and other branches of the govern ment.
 It is estimated by the Forest Service that there are more than 30,000 saw mills in the country and it is planned to have the investigation reach every sawmill in operation. Each of these will be asked to make detailed report of its production. Information is sought as to the total quantity of each kind of wood sawed, the number of lath and shingles manufactured and the average mill value for each species. Printed schedules designed for use in different regions of the country will simplify the collection of the figures and make it easy for each mill man to send in complete report.

WRAPPING TWINE FROM PAPER,

That wrapping twines which give thorough satisfaction can be made from paper has been demonstrated by experi- ments made by the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. Several hundred packages. each con- taining a medium sized book were wrapped and fastened with the lightest weight paper twine and were mailed to various points throughout the United States. Reports show that practically every package was received in good order and that in no case was there any damage which could be charged as a fault of the twine.
 In making twine the paper is cut into narrow strips which are then twisted to form a cord. The strength of the twine depends upon the character of the paper used and the process of treat ment. It is we'll adapted to number of purposes, but the foresters say that as yet no satisfactory means has been found for protecting paper twine from the action of water and it should not be used where it will be exposed to moisture.

COMPLICATIONS.

A sufferer by alliances between con- nections by marriage thus explains his position: 1T married widow who had a grown.up daughter. My father visit ited our house very often and fell in love with my step-daughter and mar ried her. So my father became my son.in- law, and my step.daughter my mother because she was my fathers wife. Some time afterward my wife had son; he was my fathers brother in-law and my uncle, for he was the brother of my step.daughter. My fathers wife, who is my step-daughter had also son; he, of course, was my brother, and at the same time my grandchild, for he was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grand. mother, because she was my mothers mother: was my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of persons grandmother is his grandfather, l was my own grandfather.
