Aug. 26-Captivity of Judah 2
Kings rs, III.
We consider today one of the great
events in the history of the Jewish
people 1t Is nothing less than the
beginning of the captivity of these
people by the rulers of Babylon. The
marked events in the history of the
Jews did not come all of sudden. The
deliverance from Egypt came after
promises that it should come to pass
covering many years. Again the
Promised Land" was held out be-
fore the Jews for many years. With
the setting up Of the kingdom under
Saul and David, it was set forth very
plainly that in, time all the glory Of
Israel would be taken away If the
people turned from God Then came
the line of prophets, all warning that
destruction would come as punish
ment for sin. The Jews were many
times told that their dependence was
not in alliance with the powers of
Egypt on the south, or Babylon on
the cast. but the power of the al
mighty God to keep by His great arm
His people.
1t win be remembered that in the
lesson of last week Josiah was told
that because of his. good record the
destruction OF Jerusalem would not
take place in his lifetime. His sue
cessors did not take warning, but en-

sLKsr Spots.

The probable cause Of 'fliyer
spots'' is chronic arrangement or
sluggishness of the liver. Their
presence indicates the necessity
for improving the condition Of
the alimentary system in gen.
eral. and this can usually be
done best by diet Of butter
milk, or apples Or grapes for
some weeks. Such a diet must
be adopted gradually, never sud
denly. One meal should be
changed at a time. and in re-
turning to the normal diet the
same precaution should be taken.
1t is impossible to give precise
instructions for any case with

nation about the patient. and it
q Is best to consult physician.

HAVE DEVELOPED A TRACK LAYING
 MOTOR MACHINE

A significant sign of the times is seen in the manner in which progress slVe tractor manufacturers are draw ing into their organizations, men who have made reputations for themselves in the automobile industry.
 An example of this is the appoint ment of A. F. Knoblock as works manager of the Cleveland Tractor company, makers of the crawler or track-laying tractor developed by Rollin H. White of Motor Car and Motor Truck fame
 MT. Knoblock was one of the pi- oneers in the automobile field, having been one of the founders of the Northway Motors Co. some 16 years ago and associated in a managerial capacity with the General Motors Company,
 Later he became identified with the Cole Motor company at Indianapolis as vice president and general man. ager
 In commenting upon his new con- nection, MT Knoblock remarked that he believeId that the right kind of a tractor offered the greatest opportu- nifty of anything in the manufactur- ing world today, becauase 1t was fast becoming an economic. necessity which would revofutionize agriculture as well as prove an important factor in industrial work.

MERRITT NEW CONGRESSMAN
 FROM FOURTH

In the special election for successor to the late D. J. Hill in the Fourth Congressional district, Schuyler Mer- ritt, of Stamford, defeated Lynn W: Wilson, of Bridgeport, editorial writer for The Farmer. Danbury was the only town in the district carried by Wilson. The total vote was, Mer- ritt, 18,079, and Wilson,. 12, 863, giving Merritt a plurality of 5,216.
 The plurality of Merritt, on uneH- cial town figures, was only a single vote less than the plurality given to the late B. J. Hill in the 1916 elec- tion, and whose successor MT. Mer- ritt will be. The total poll was, hew- ever, much less, as MT. Hill had 25,- 917 and MT. Donovan. his opponent, 20,700, showing that the falling off in the vote cast this year in the spe- cial election was about ene-third. As compared with last year, the Social 1sts about doubled their vote in Bridgeport. Merritt carried Newtown, which Hill lost, but lost Danbury, as did Hill. Bedding went Democratic. Other towns in the district went Re- publican as usual.
 The vote follows:

CABARET SINGER FORMERLY HERE

Gar in Which Mae Wilson is Ritling Overturns Near
 Berlin.

Mrs William Mann of New Haven, is lying at the point of death in the New Britain general hospital, her con- dition being due to injuries received in an automobile accident on the Ber- lin turnpike on Monday evening. Mrs. Mann is better known in this city as Mae Wilson and she sang here for a while in Carr's Grill, Cannon street. She had quite a number of friends here who will be grieved to hear of her precarious condition.
 Of late she had been singing in Bonds, of Hartford. She possessed a pleasing voice and was much liked. In company with her husband and a party of friends, she left Hartford on Monday evening to go to her home in New Haven. The car in which they were riding turned out to allow another car to pass and in some in- applicable manner immediately left the road and overturned. The gaso- line tank was pierced and caught fire and two of the party were killed outright, MT. Mann being one of the victims. / The others were horribly burned and Mrs. Mann was the onlj one who had even the slightest chance to recover. There were five in the party. z,

.CHILD'S TONGUE
 BECOMES COATED IF C0NsTIPATED
When cross, feverish and sick give California
 Syrup of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative:'s and nothing else cleanses tho tender stomach liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is. they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomache-ache or diarrhoea. Listen. Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have well, playful child again.
 Millions of mothers give "Califor- nia Syrup of Figs" because it is per- fectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach liver and bowels.
 Ask your druggist for a bottle of N ''California Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be- ware of commercials sold here. Get the genuine, made by California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Ady.

Led By One Johnny Rich ardson They Fire Hay
 Stacks.

Emulating the example of Bridge ports Bravest," party of boys at- tending the Sheridan school in Tesiny avenue under the leadership of John ny Richardson, II years old, of Exc ter stret tried to show their proficien- cy as fire fighters yesterday in a lot near Overland avenue. That they might have opportunity to practice they provided their own fire, about 12 tons of hay, owned by Mercer & Lockwood, truckmen, furnishing the material.
 The boys were at play in the lot during the lunch hour, and saw the haystacks.
 Let's play fireman said Johnny and producing a match he is said to have gone to one of the stacks and set fire to one side. The other boys were the firemen, and carried water with which they extinguished the blaze.
 Inspired by success they tried again and again were successful. A third time they were doing well when Johnny thought it would be good idea to set fire to the other side of the stack and did so. The fire proved too much for the amateur fire fight CTS, the blaze got beyond their con- trol, and 8 call had to be sent for city fire apparatus By the time they had reached the scene tho hay, valued at about $350 had been consumed by the flames.
 The matter was reported to the po- lice, and Johnny was questioned. He
 is said to have admitted his share 1T. the proceeding and to have given the names of the other boys. So far there has been no arrests, the youth of the boys making the
 problem of dealing with them diff ficuIt one. It is probable that their parents will have to settle the dam age.

NEW CAMPAIGN HATS FOR OUR
 SOLDIER BOYS

The wide-brimmed hats have been abandoned by the United States army for troops actually in the field. In their place hats like the fatigue head gear of the French army have been adopted. Numbers of them have been bought and hurried to the troops now in the trenches.
 The new hat is a sort of fore and aft arrangement made by sewing two heavy pieces of khaki cloth together with the seams front and back and adding to the sides other pieces of material which fold up on the side of the hat or may be drawn down to cover the ears The hat is most comfortable. It also can be rolled up to pocket size or worn under shrapnel helmets
 The old campaign hat was cum bersome for troops in the field and officers recommended change. It was. so unwieldly that some of the troops discarded it entirely when they were changing to the shrapne1 hell met
 The campaign hat is still worn at bi11ets and in barracks but many of- ficers are recommending it's complete abandonment on the ground that it was designed for service in tropical countries and is unsuited for opera tions under present conditions.
