ExPERiM ENTS Teach Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex- drinking Postum, it is still easy to learn something about 1t by reading the experiences of others.
 Drinking Postum is a pleasant way out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man says:
 My wife was victim of nervous ness, weak stomach and loss of ap- petite for years; and although we re- sorted to numerous methods for re- lief, one of which was a change from coffee to tea, 1t was all to no purpose. "We knew coffee was causing the trouble but could not find anything to take its place until we tried Postum Within two weeks after she quit coffee and began using Postum almost all of her troubles had disappeared as if by magic. It was truly wonderful Her nervousness was gone, stomach trou- ble relieved, appetite improved and, above all. nights rest was complete and refreshing.
 This sounds like an exaggeration, as 1t all happened so quickly. Each day there was improvement, for the Postum was undoubtedly strengthen ing her. Every particle of this good work is due to drinking Postum in place of coffee" Name given by Pos tum Co.,. Battle Creek. Mich.
 Postun comes in two forms:

DEMOCRATS NEW SECRETARY

Normal promotion and recogni- tion of ability both operated when w. R. Hollister was appointed acting sec retary of the Democratic national committee not long ago. The change was made necessary by the lamented death of Thomas J. Pence, the secre- tary, and it is believed and hoped by the many friends of MT. Hollister that his present temporary position will be made permanent at the Democratic national convention at St. Louis next June. MT. Hollister was appointed assistant secretary by Mr. Pence and conducted the affairs of the office for several weeks under the direction of the secretary.

 MT. Glass was questioned by sev- eral correspondents regarding the near revolt in the house, and he used vigorous language in expressing his opinion of certain of his colleagues.

PLATT KNOWS BIRDS

Representative Edmund Platt, who is a newspaper publisher of Pough- keepsie, N. r., knows more things that are true about birds than any body else in congress.
 Whenever he can collect a little spare time, Platt puts dull statecraft behind him and sets forth into the woods and fields to listen to the song and twitter of the birds Sparrows, robins, flamingoes, storks, crows, wrens-no matter what kind of birds he sees, Platt knows them all by sight. If bird is sitting still he can tell it by its plumage, if flying, by its flight And if he cant see the stork or linnet or cockatoo or whatever the bird is, he can identify it by it's song. A bird finds it practically impossible to fool Platt. The blackbird that tries to pass itself off on Platt for a quail pre- sents an absurd spectacle.
 Rarely does Platt venture out of the house without his bird hook and

KEYNOTER FOR REPUBLICANS

Warren G. Harding. United States senator from Ohio, selected as tenn porary chairman of the Republican national convention in Chicago in June by the executive committee of the national committee, will be called upon to sound, in his open ing address to the convention, the keynote of the Republican campaign. That he will sound it in eloquent periods is certainty, for he is one of the silver-tongued orators of his party, whose words are.a delight to the ear, whether or not they carry conviction to the mind.
 Mr Harding has been classed as a conservative and has announced that preparedness and the tariff will be the paramount issues in the next cam paign. Consequently these questions will be dealt with at length in the key note address

FACTORIES BUSY;
 SHUT DOWN XMAS
Most of the Local Concerns Will Also Close Down Only One Day
 New Year

Because all of New Britain's man ufacturing concerns are doing a prosperous business and have large orders on their books none of them will shut down for any length of time at either Christmas or New Years.
 Officials questioned, in almost every instance, state that next week the factory will close on Christmas day only. At New Years the majority of the factories will close down at noon. December 30, and will reopen on Tuesday. Some of them will remain closed day or two longer for in: ventory, but these are in the minor ity
 None of the concerns has an- nounced any plans relative to giving a Christmas bonus to employees A number of the local factories have been giving employees increases in wages and some have been giving bonuses to their workmen for some time. At the Stanley Works how ever, Superintendent c. F. Bennett stated that the concern has generally done something for some people at Christmas time and may this year.
 Christmas will be observed as a llolIddy S6HSIdlly LII U us Io Ut Cue C1Iy. All the leading stores will be closed and the banks, too. will be closed. At the post office the clerks and car- riers will probably be called upon to work a half day in order to clear out the vast quantities of incoming and outgoing mail that is sure to accrue, but Postmaster w.

MAYOR CALLS MEETING
Council Members and Safety Board Will Have Informal Conference With Executive This Evening.

Mayor G. A. Quigley today notified members of the common council and the safety board to meet with him in his office this evening at o'clock for an informal discussion principally regarding the reorganization of the fire department on a permanent basis. Other questions to be brought before the council at it's regular session to- morrow evening may also be touched upon informally.
 The mayors idea in calling this conference is to save valuable time at the council meeting. Tonight the safety board can outline it's plans, council members can ask questions, make suggestions and discuss the mat ter thoroughly and thus be perfectly familiar with the situation so that when they meet in regular session to- morrow evening they will be able to treat the question in an intelligent manner without the necessity of talk ing considerable time for long ex- planations arguments and debates.

Prosperity Keeps People on Straight and Narrow Path and Honesty is the Easiest Policy.

New Britain is enjoying much greater freedom from the character istic activities of holiday-season crookdom than for many years ac- 'cording to the reports of merchants and the police. PickpOckets shop filters and petty thieves are notice- able by their absence and the au- thorities have not been called upon to give the protection to stores and crowds of shoppers that has been asked in previous years. There has been a noticeable absence of com- plaints relative to losses, in compar- ison With other years.
 Chief William J. Rawlings of the police department says that condi- tiOns are undoubtedly due to the prosperous times among local manu- featuring plants, plenty of work for those who want, it and excellent wages being paid. He admitted that there are comparatively few com plalnts relative to the operations of p1ckpockets and shoplifters. The lat ter are especially active when there are hard times in the homes and dis plays in the stores are tempting.
 Detective Sergeant Samuel M. Bam- forth and Detective A. J. Richardson also report little indication that the petty crooks who usually haunt shop ping centers are operating in New Britain this year. Their trips about the streets and stores have been un- productive Of meeting suspicious characters
