Charles M. Jarvis, Berlin's leading cit izen, will be the next representative in the legislature. While the colonel has not gone on record as being 9 candi- date, the knowing ones declare him to be the man and assert moreover, that he will be elected
 Colonel Jarvis has never before sought state honors and in fact it can not be said that he is now seeking them, but there is q strong feeling among republican leaders that his long services to the party entities him to this recognition. As one of Ber- Iin's leading businessmen, he has con- tributed liberaIly to the support of the party in many campaigns and out side of Berlin is known as a staunch re- publican.
 Eight years ago when William How ard Taft was nominated for presi- dent at Chicago, Colonel Jarvis was one of Connecticut's staunch delegates. The Connecticut delegation in that campaign was solid for Taft and Taft was nominated and elected president. Among Colonel Jarvis closest friends is ex-Governor Rollin S. Woodruff of New Haven on whose staff he served for two years.
 Colonel Jarvis would make an ad- rnirable representative of Berlin fife is a farmer as well as a businessman and Berlin is a strong agricultural community. As president of the Berlin Agricultural society he has a

of an attempt to come across and get them. L. and M. troops are there now and we are at Las Cienegas awaiting orders Two detachments were sent out last night one to Alamo Huaco and a place on the border known as Hatchet ranch. I was to go but got detailed as assistant to the wireless which duty consists in listening for messages.
 ''The militia has been order out in the border states and we had quite a little sport with the Arizona militia before We left Hachita. They pitched camp near us and were going to do all kinds of things to the Mexcans. "A detachment was sent out from l Hachita about @ week ago to a place l called Antelope Wells. Gen. Salazer, one of the generals we had in con- f1nement at Fort Wingate for crossing over the line with his army after a defeat by Villa, and who was acquit- ted of breaking neutrality laws, was reported in that vicinity, but the de- tachment returned with no trace of him.
 I've are getting the best of food here that can be obtained. The gov- ernment has a contract with the Dia- mond A ranch which furnished us live beef at 2 cents a pound. For dinner we will have roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, Yorkshire pudding, bread and butter iced tea and apple pie. For breakfast we had hot cakes, butter and syrup, corned beef hash, bread and coffee. We also have all kinds of vegetables in season.

 Lower Insurance Rates.
 First Selectman w. J. Johnson has made a new contract with the Aetna Insurance company for tnsuring the town building. The new agreement will cover a period of three years, the town to pay $150 as a premium.
 Under the old arrangement the town signed up for but one year at a time paying $50 for protection dur ing that period. Although the new plan will throw the insurance pre- mium for three years onto the ex- pense account for his administration, making it possible for his successor to make a better financial showing, | the seleotman has decided that the 1 saving Is worth while even should it l impair his report.

and for years has been close student of state politics.
 On the republican side it is believed that Berlin will have at least two oth- CT candidates, in E. w. Mildrum of East Berlin and Francis Deming of Warrington. Both have been promin- ent in the republican party for years and in various capacities have served the town of Berlin. With these four announced as candidates for the leg islature politics should be lively in Berlin this fall. Certainly the repub- icans will have something to talk about for some time to come.
 Lyceum Banquet Tonight.
 The annual banquet of the Mems Lyceum of Kensington will be held in the Kensington Congregational church parlors this evening and indi- cations point to large attendance. Charles H. Johnson, superintendent of the state reformatory at Cheshire, will be the chief speaker and his topic will be "Delinquency." What this state institution is doing for young men who have fallen astray will be well explained in his lecture. Dr. R. M. Grswold of Kensington is to 1 be toastmaster and those who know him need not be informed that the postprandial portion of the program l will be in good hands. The ladies of 1 the church will cater for the event and they announced a menu that could scarcely be improved on. Other speakers will be Thomas Emerson and Joseph Wilson.

 Passway Right Suit.
 Adolph and Juliana Schmidt, through Attorney F. B.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says We can't look or feel right with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. "What's an inside bath ?" you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per- form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast mum bers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It kidneys and the thirty feet of in- testines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which in- fest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attac cks, foul breath bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, Impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels, It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb

state wide acquaintance and unQues- tionably would have strong influ- ence among the rural representatives. Few in this state have had more to do with placing Connecticut on the agri cultural map than the colonel. He has fostered modern farming in every possible manner and was one of the staunch few who went to the legisla- ture some years ago and insisted that the Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs have a new lease of life. The college was then run down and in bad repute, In fact had things gone on much longer as they then existed it is almost certain that the college would have gone out of existence. Colonel Jarvis with the aid of such men as Colonel w. H. Hall of South Wiling ton succeeded in giving the agricultur- al college a real boost and today it ranks with the best of the kind in the country.
 Gibney a Candidate.
 The Herald is able to announce to- day that Selectman w. H. Gibney will be candidate for the legislature. Like Colontl Jarvis he has served tho town well and ably, but from another standpoint. MT Gibney has been a resident of Berlin for thirty-fve years and has served in many public offices. Born in Meriden, January 20, 1860, he was a resident of the Silver City for twenty -four years and served his time as an apprentice in the chandler de- partment of Bradley & Hubbard's. Re- moving to Berlin in 1884, he soon be- came identified with the public life of the town. For thirteen years he was a constable and for fourteen years a deputy sheriff under Sheriff Smith. For the past fourteen years he has ot ell first selectman and although assallGd by his enemies from many quarters and at times when political tension was high, MT. Gibney has seen his foes discomfittcd and has continually retained the confidence of the rank and file. All he has asked. is fair field, and no favOrs and on this basis he has been repeatedly returned a winner.

vis' caliber, MT. Gibney is determined
 to make the run and if forced to bow for once to defeat it will only be after the stiffest kind of a battle. This, however, is something he refuses to consider for a moment It is his life's ambition to serve the town of Berlin in the legislature and if elected ther~ is no doubt that he will be able to full ly realize this ambition, possessing as he does a statewide political acquaint- ance. For two years he served as as- sistant superintendent of the capitol
