Hartford Charitable Institution to Try
 Experiment of lnebriate Farm.

For years Connecticut people have discussed the plan of a State farm for Inebriates. They now have an ex- pertmental one in operation in Nor wich and good reports concerning the venture are coming in. Now the fa- nous Open Hearth of Hartford, an in stttution that has extended a helping hand to many an unfortunate and down-and-out, is to try the scheme.
 The farm was recently purchased by two Hartford people who have given the Open Hearts possession of 1t and will present it to the organiza- tion if the farm proves a success.
 It is situated on a bit of rising Manchester The house, a large colo nial structure presents pleasing view to the eye. It stands overlook Ing large pond on a 175-acre tract of land, a great deal of which Is cuI- tfvated. The house contains eleven large, airy rooms that will be changed according to the needs of the men. Owing to the fact that perhaps the house will not be large enough to ao- conmodate all applicants, SupArin- tendent Jackson said it was the in- tention to build dormitory after things were .started.
 The farm will be ready in about a month to receive the incorporate man trying to regain lost health and self control; the man run down physically md mentally needing pleasant out door work; the discouraged man seeking temporary shelter; and the

NO APPROPRIATION FOR
 MILITIA UNIFORMS
Officers Receive Only $50 compensa-
 ton for Eighteen Months.

Officers of the Connecticut National
 guard are somewhat put out because
 of the fact that, having been allowed
 to go IS months without uniform com
 pensation, they are now to receive only
 $50, the compensation for 12 months.
 There seems to be no way to remedy
 the deficit, as the last session of the
 legislature, which changed the time of
 compensation from October to April, made no appropriation to cover the extra six months.
 Guard officers have always been re- quired to provide their own uniform
 and equipment in Connecticut. The outfit required today will cost in the
 neighborhood of $200 to provide when 8 man is first commissioned, and he is faced with constant expenditure for
 renewals. Some time ago the general assembly voted to compensate officers at the rate of $50 a year for uniform
 outlay, and at the 1913 session this was raised to $50 year. At the 1915 ses- sion 1t was voted to change the time for paying out the uniform compensa- tion from October to April. consequent ly the officers went for a year and a half without compensation.
 At the federal inspections now going on each officers full equipment is sur veyed by the inspecting officers, and those who had every requisite for active and garrison service received vouchers for $50 to sign. Inquiry was made at the time whether the extra 1 period would be paid pro ratar, but 1t has now developed that appropriation
 was not made for the six months ad- i ditional.
 1 Guard officers are required to equip
 themselves with the same uniforms i and addenda as would be required if l they were in the regular service. The chief items, with average prices paid are as follows: Full dress uniform
 S75; dress uniform, $50; dress cap, SS; i dress belt. $S; service uniform, $25 i overcoat. S25; sabre, S10. Other items
 such as field cot, blankets, shirts, leg 1 gins, service hats, slicker and so on bring the total we'll above $20O. If the
 entire equipment is not exhibited tC
 the inspecting officer, the annual com. pensation is not paid.

During the summer months the men will plant gardens and do the daily chores of the farm. and in the winter it is planned to have them fell trees and cut brush on the un- cultivated land, thereby retaining it. There will be a competent farm fore man in charge. MT. Jackson plans to make frequent trips to the farm. Men will have the privilege of staying as long as they wish or perhaps until they feel physically fit to venture forth again and battle their way, but it will be understood that they will stay at the farm one month at least.
