New Telephone Cables to Be Kun from
 Putnam
Local Service favorabIy Compared

"Let me tell you," said local busi- ness man while passing the telephone building on South Main street, tive ought to be thankful for the good ser vice the telephone company gives us here. I have been in Boston and Wor- cester and l don't see how the public stand for it. But I suppose they are used to it. We are used to this service and we would never be satisfied with what those places put up with"
 No doubt this expresses the feeling of a majority Of the phone users in this section and is big factor in the continual growth of the local exchange. To meet the present increasing de- mands for service, and the anticipated demands of the future, preparation is being made to substitute 150 wire cable for the 50 wire cable now in use to Pomfret. The telephone company has arranged to run this cable from the central office to a point near Dr. :. B. Overlook $ residence in Pomfret and it is expected to arrive in a short time.
 Another new cable under considera ton is to be run from lhe central office to West Thompson. This will furnish additional serS ice flor Thompson and the Grosvenordaies and will provide adequate facilities for some years.

BURGLARS AGAIN
DOnahue $ Drug Store and BenOit'S Sa-
 loon Entered
Looks Like Work of Same Old Gang

There werettwo more hurglaries in the city N ednesday night, one in the business section and one in the north end of the city. The breaks have all of the features of the many previous burglaries and are believed to have been the work of a gang operating here.
 The drug store Of James F. Denahue on Elm street waslentered. The only things missed so far as known are two gold watches, one worth SIP and the other sl5, wbich were in the cash reg ister, which was pried open. Three dollars and a half in money was also taken from the register and a dollar and half left behind.
 The burglars went out to the front part of the store and helped themselves to ice cream and then poured the coffee syrup in the soda fountain into can of chocolate ice cream and left the cover of.
 The break was discovered by Willis Carroll and James Weeks when they opened up this morning. MT. Dona. hue is attending the Rexall druggists convention. Mir. Weeks went around the prescription case and saw the cash register lying on the floor in little back room.
 Mr. Donahue's desk had been ran sacked but if anything was taken it will not be known until his return. A new pair of fur lined gloves and dia- mond stick pin were overlooked.
 The Donahue store is next door to the store of Charles Seder which has been broken into four times in the last eight months. This morning Mr. Seder Was singing, "Every get ting it, as he had been joked about the breaks Tn his own store.
 Entrance was gained by 8 rear win. dow. The window was covered by pair of heavy wooden shutters with bolt that fastened into the window sill. A jimmy had been used to pry up this bolt and the rest was easy.
 In the north iend of the city the liquor store of Frank Benoit at the cor ner Of Church and Providence street was entered by breaking out glass panel in a rear door. Here the cash register was found unlocked and was cleaned of its contents, SIP. A num- Der of bottles of whiskey were also taken, some from the show window of the store and some from a tse behind the bar.
 There have been large number of these petty burglaries for over a year and the police are at loss as to where to look as no clews are left behind.

tees relative to children under Is com. ing into the town. The state board of health was notified and strict watch Of the case was maintained. There was some uncertainty as to whether it was really case of infantile paralysis and varied rumors regarding the mat. ter became current. It was to set these rnmors at rest and to decide definitely concerning the matter that the secre- retary of the state board came toWood. stock to investigate.
 pr. Joseph Spalding said this after noon that the patient is getting along nicely. He said that he had received report that paralysis had set in but that when he called on the patient thIs morning and requested first, for him to move his arms, then his legs and then to roll over in bed he did all three without any apparent effort. He also requested him to run out his tongue and this he did
 Dr. Spalding also said the pneumo mia symptoms are clearing up, the lungs are less congested and the swell ling of the glands of the throat are dis appearing.
 pr. SpaIding was asked if he knew of the notice that had been posted rel. ative to the case and he said he had been informed of it several times. He said that all precautionary measures had been taken since the first and strict quarantine of the house had been maintained.
 Dr. Spalding did not care 10 give a further personal opinion as to whether the case is infantile paralysis. He said that every preeaution had been taken and would be taken tolguard the public and that the quarantine already placed on the home would be continu. ed

strenuous appeal for such unanimous e operation to all classes.
 The United States government, the state government and the county are sharing in the expense of the under taking, each realizing the benefit tha they believe will accrue to their civic interest. The association needs SAD 10 make up sufficient fund to secure this state and federal aid next year.
 If every person, association of per- sons, business, professional aL.. manu- facturing interest will take moment to consider, both from an interest in their county and town and their own personal interest, the benefits accruing from this work, which will increase when it Is still further perfected, Il would seem that there will be little ne- cessity to urge alliliaLion with ssis or ganjzAtion. While doubtless the m at ter wIli be urged personally or by eff cular letter il would greatly assist snd 1 encourage those now striving to broad I en the scope of this valuable associa- tion if the citizens and business inter- ests would come forward voluntarily

 Shopping Are Very Costly
By MRS. J. B. REID

In the department stores of this city there are about 1900 girls and women en- ployed If they only averaged $5 a week, that would put in circulation each week $6o0O, from about 10 stores alone.
 The greater part of the service rendered by this number of business women is to the women shoppers. In order to serve the best interests of these women we should realize our responsibility to them by using the best business methods in our buying. All over the country, in stores, trade journals, etc., there is an open discussion of a costly practice among all shoppers everywhere-that Of the returned goods habit"
