dollars to tobacco packers and other branches of the trade last year alone. Mammoth types of Havana seed and broadleaf tobacco in Connecticut
 are claiming the attention of depart
 ment experts, who are always seeking
 means of improving the quality and increasing the yield of tODaccO
 These types of tobacco are much larg-
 CT than the regular run of tobacco or the varieties named. The mammoth types, the department people think, may be developed commercially so that the production of tobacco on Connecticut farms will be enormously increased. The only difficulty about these types in that they grow to great size before they bloom and seed, and in fact, grown outside, they will be kelled by the frost before they produce seed
 This problem has been solved in the case of the Maryland mammoth type of tobacco, and department officials do not see why it should not be met in the case of Connecticut mammoth types by putting a few small plants in pots for seed purposes. Under such circumstances, the roots being con- fined, the plants will grow perhaps three feet high and then blossom and produce seed, which tests have shown will grow the mammoth type in the field the following year. The mann moth type in the field, it is said, will grow fifteen feet high at times and bear 15O or 200 leaves to stalk with cut even building. The departme is informed that a similar mammoth type of Sumatra tobacco grows occa- Sin Nv in St
 To demonstrate the Maryland man. moth tobacco this year on a commer- cia1 scale and to educate the farmers how to raise pot plants for seed is the purpose of one line of work of. the to- bacco investigations division this summer. Dr. Garner and his men will cooperate with the county demonstra- tors in counties of southern Maryland where the Maryland mammoth type will thrive. Seed will be dstri buted for this year to the farmers, but they will be expected to grow their own tobacco seed for planting next year.

mated Yale life since it's inception. It is to be @ joint pageant of town and gown. It will revive a form of ar- tistic spectacle that has been lost since the old Roman days, and it will differ from all previous pageants in that the audience will be seated on all sides.
 EIihu Yale of Welsh Ancestry.
 The prelude will be medieval as tribute to the Welsh ancestry of Elihu Yale, governor of the East India com pany, who endowed the college when it made it's modest beginning in New Haven. Yale's gift was one hundred pounds in money and four hundred pounds in East India merchandise which later was promptly sold at auction to the admiring colonists. Co., lonial and Revolutionary periods will be illustrated by several stirring scenes. Early 18th century happen ings in the life of the college will come next and lastly the incidents of the present day. The pageant will be interspersed with interludes of an al- legorical character. Among histor- ical events connected with Yale col lege that will be shown are the hang ing of Nathan Hale, a Yale man, who will be impersonated by a New York lawyer, a Yale graduate who is a direct descendant of the patriot; an attack by Indians on the Puritans; a riot between the students and the To- cal fire department, which became so serious that the citizens brought up the cannon from the arsenal and lev elled it upon the college before the faculty could intervene and arbitrate, and episodes from the Civil war. There will be a drill by the Yale bat tery and a finale that bids fair to out do everything of the sort ever con- ceived before. Young girls in the guise of peacocks with trains forty two feet long so that they may extend the entire length of the steps leading from the embankment down into the Bowl will enter the stadium bearing on their heads miniature reproduc- tions of the twenty-eight colleges to which Yale university has proudly given birth. It will require twenty five school children dressed as pages to lift each train.

anti-suffrage leagues, the Y. M. c. A., the Y. w. c A. and all other prominent organizations of New Hav- en have rallied to the support of Francis Hartman Markoe, pageant master, whose brilliant perform ances in the production of pageants in England and Africa as we'll as in this country require no commentary. The costumes for the pageant are in the hands of Mrs. Sophia Olivia Cleugh, who was associated with MT. Markoe, as mistress of the robes, in producing the coronation pageant in London five years ago and the South African pageant at CapetoWn.
 The Yale stadium is the largest in the world, being 300 feet longer than the Coliseum and 200 feet wider. It's seating capacity is 62,0oO, while the Roman amphitheater held about 47,- GOO spectators at an outside estimate It is said that the Coliseum could be placed within the limits of the play ing field in the Bowl.

Indoor Life Makes Fat
Try Oil of Korein to Keep Weight Down, or to Reduce Super-
 f1uOuS Fat

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, lEVlgorating air and exercise must take precautlOn to guard against oVer-stoutness, as fat acquired by in door life is unhealthy and a danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack or exercise in the fresh air is said to the blood, so that it is unable to pro- duce strong muscles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and un- healthy fat is the result.
 II you are 15 or 20 pounds above normal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are con- Stantly lowering your vitality by carrying this excess burden Any persons who are satisfied in their own mind that they are too stout are ad- V1sed to go to the Clark and Brainerd Co. or any other good druggist and get a box of oil of korein capsules, and take one after each mean and one just before retiring at night.
 Even few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeable reduction in weight, improved diges- ton and a return of the old energy; footsteps become lighter and the skin less fabby in appearance as super fuous fat disappears.
 Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot injure, and helps the digestion. Any person who wants to reduce 5 or 20 pounds is advised to give this treat ment a trial

WHAT NERVOUS
 PEOPLE NEED
WONDERFULLY SPEEDY NEW FOUND RELIEF FOR TIRED, WORN OUT, SHATTERED, UNSTRUNG NERVOUS
 SYSTEMS.

It is simply marvellous the speedy relief that single Margo Tablet will give any man or woman whose nerves are upset, unstrung or dulled, tired and ambitionless. Every tablet seems to go straight to the nerve cells, over coming in just few moments fatigue despondency, jumps" fidgets," ner- vous indigestion and all those other symptoms of rundown nerve force that are so surely the forerunners of ner- vous prostration and general nervous breakdown.
 Margo vitalizes your tired, over worked nerves into nerves of steel, charging them with powers of tre- mendous endurance and reserve ener- gy and does it without a single dan- gerous drug. Margo is a scientific com bination of six of the most power full and effective, yet absolutely harm less, nerve stimulants known to chem istry and a months systematic use should completely transform the worst nervous wreck into a strong, healthy, vigorous man or woman.
 Margo really does more good in the average case of nerves than a months vacation because 1t not only rests the nerves but puts new snap and ginger and courage into your entire body.
 Margo must accomplish these things or it's cost is nothing. The Clark X, Brainerd Co.,, and other leading drug gists in New Britain sell it with this absolute guarantee, positively agree ing to refund the price 'naid to any patron who fails to derive great bene- fit from 60 days faithful use.

Midsummer Dresses.

~OLORS are combined in the smartest
" summer dresses. For instance, a
rose linon has a sash of blue. A dress
of soldier blue linon has the hem and
the edge of the pelerine or cape collar
trimmed with fiat little roses of the ma
terial, woven into a garland by stems
done in chain stitch. Another dress has
a triplet of little fluted frills on the
skirt and bodice. Even sulphur yellow
and apricot pink linon are combined.
A wide striped linon dress in two
shades of red is made with the darker
shade forming tucks. These colored
linons make very dainty and charming
little frocks, simply trimmed with small
roses made of the material, net pleat-
ings or fiuted ruches.
Wolfe and organdy is smart combi-
nation. The wolfe bodice has two big
hemmed tucks across it, edged with or
CANDY, the full-gathered skirt repeat
ing the idea. Patterned voiles are
charming when trimmed with plain col
ored linen.
A wolfe in white with a large pattern
in blue over it is trimmed with frills of
wash net in blue, posed at the sides OF
the skirt, and the bodice has a white
net waistcoat. A pink and white check
ed wolfe has the sleeves and yoke out
lined by bead embroidery and groups
of fine pleats, unsewn here and there, to
form light drapefy.
A dress of v9ile flecked with palest
beige has a wide hem of black to the
skirt and a sash of bright-red picot
ribbon. The same idea carried out in
apricot linen. with a white hem. Is
pretty.
