She began her career as a teacher at

When girls are thrown on their own
resources as breadwinners they must
shoulder, a certain amount of respon-
sibflity in guarding their own self
respect. At the outset of their career,
be it in a factory, shop or any paid
position, they are enthusiastic Ter
thew have hope But after the first
of their work often becomes so mon
otonous as to pail upon them.
This is so especially with the so
called tAnome girls who have annbi-
ton to go out of an evening. They
make few friends. For one reason or
another they have few callers. They
retire early to forget in sleep the cares
of the world and it's drudgery, per-
forming the same duties day in and
dap out while their best years are
dragging. along.
First they know, their energies be-
gin to lag. They feel they must hold
on to their place at any cost. Stimu-
Ia11ts in some isolated cases are re-
sorted to with no thought of possible
harm coming fron1s them. There are
finely attuned natures which cannot
be thus tempered with. Nature is too
weak to cope against a powerful drug
habit Ere she is aware, such a, girl
becomes its slave.
Girls should be warned of taking the
first fatal dose. It ends not in avert
ing~a breakdown, but causing it, and
by the victim becoming an outcast

to make are always tt e brightest and

could make it possible to remove the
Junior and Senior High schools from
the center building and leave that to
be used for grammar grades entirely,
is made evident by the letter forward
ed to the citizens asking for sugges-
lions or for attendance at the meet
ings which are being held.
The sch oIs are overcrowded, due to
the great influx of population and
something must be done inme diate1y
to relieve the congested conditions.
Many of the children in the center and
the southern end of the town are on
part time. The crowding is not con-
fined to the lower grades for the High
school and the Junior High school
have in all $50 children, almost
enough to fl, the Center building. The
Sedgwick school, in the southern end
of town is a four room building. 1t
has 279 children. These are arranged
in eight classes. With only four
classes in which to meet these eight
classes necessarily go on part time,
four of them in the morning and the
other four in the afternoon. The
children in that district live long dis
tances. This, coupled with the poor
roads, make the attendance very frz
regular. In the center school part
time is still in force. In the lower
grades, from one to six, are 200 chill
dren, and all of these, except in the
first grades, are on part time In
the northern part of the town the
schools are fully occupied and no
shortage of class room exists. Thf
school board will meet in the Cent?,
school building Tuesday, March z.

HOLIDAY is GENERALLY
OBSERVED IN THE STATE

New Haven, Feb. 2S-Washington's
Birthday anniversary was quite gem
orally observed throughout the state

Charges Policemen

Although Judge Frank L. Wilder

the city court, this morning by john

TrumbuH, arrested on a charge of
drunkenness, Lariee insisted that a
uniformed policeman got him intoxi-

Larfee said that he met the police
man in uniform in Main street and
after chatting for a while, they en-
tered a saloon. Lartee ''blew'' first
and the cop is alleged to- have come
back. This went on for a couple of
hours, according to the tale told by
Lairee, and the policeman outdrank
the man from TrunnbuH.
Lairees said that when he became so
intoxicated that he fell on the floor,
the policeman said: You're under
arrest and forthwith brought him to
headquarters. On the police cards Po-
icernen John Curry and j. Kelly are
recorded as having made the arrest.
Judge Wilder sentenced Lairee to Is

WINTER EVENINGS
AT THE GRANGE

There is nothing very sleepy about
the farmers winter evenings in any
village where there is a grange Or
ganization.
The farmer is often thought of as q
tongue-tied man. But somehow when
he gets down at Grange hall with no
one but his neighbors and friends to
rattle him, his sharp and shrewd
philosophy does loosen up wonderful
ly. ~
The grange is not merely q, Fvorka-
day organization, formed to talk about
soils and fertilizers. There are frisky
socials, romping plays, dances at
which many pigeon wings are cut, and
last but not least the suppers! While
the city folks are nibbling, at ephemer-
al lay-outs of salads and buildings.
the grange goes in for massive sub
stantials like meet pie. But one must.
forbear to arouse longings that can't

A CLEAN MOUTH: During the
quarter of a century that I have been
teaching the natural laws of health,
there have been many fads and fears
as well as fights and trdumphs in the
field of preventive medicine. AT a
meeting Of medical men only last year
one of the most eminent members OF
the profession, noted for his skill IN
surgery and also for the size of his
fees, said that during the coming dec
ade there would be less surgery and a.
general return to old-fashioned inter-
nal medicine, less poisons and opiates
and more of natures remedies.
Another man, who is a leader In
making popular, practical, common
senes ideas is said to he the authority
for the statement that neglected teeth
and general unclean condition of the
mouth was the principal reason why
rural residents and especially farmers
were old broken down and ruined in
health before they had really begun to
live ALL authorities are agreed that
the farmer has much the advantage
over the city man in the opportunities
for good health and long life, but the
actual facts show that the city man
lives longer and is freer from sickness
than his country cousin. H. &
The idea. has always been held for
hard manual labor that caused the
farmer to break down at an early age,
but I do not agree with that idea at
ALL I was born and brought up on a
farm and 1 know what farm work is.

tar surroundings on a. farm where
they cost less than they they cost in
the city and I can make a better 1iv-
ing with less labor and more comfort
than I can in almost any other line of
work. ~
The facts are that filthy teeth are
responsible for a big share of the ear

The last thing that every one should
do at night before preparing for bed

liquid cleanser should be used, but
perhaps there is no better agent than
fine, common table salt. After brush

WHY WOMEN

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,

Why do women write such letters ? -
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
eull and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

health and happiness into their lives,
