TO REMOVE PARLoR
 AND DINING CARS
Is to be Done in View of Expected Or
 der From President.

The New Haven road is planning to eliminate it's parlor and dining car service, in order that coal and food may be saved in the latest move to eliminate luxuries. It is said that this is to be done in view of an order ex- pected from President Wilson to every railroad in the country. By the elimi- nation of these cars, the road will concentrate it's running forces, leaving the locomotives released from passen- ger service ready for freight traffic and handling of troops when so de- sired by the war department. In this manner coal will be saved, cutting down expenses and leaving more for the manufacturing concerns engaged in war work. It was also said that there would be feved specials and ex- cursion trains and all will have to ride in day coaches for the five-hour ride between New York and Boston. Station stops, however, of twenty minutes, or hal fan hour will be made at transfer points throughout the line for the benefit of travellers wishing to eat while travelling. Many of the trains made up mostly of parlor cars will be replaced with steel coaches, making additional stops and thereby taking the places of accommodation trains.

CHICKEN cooPs ROBBED
 FOR SECOND TIME
Found Locks Torn From Hen House
 and Nine Birds Gone.

David Dillon, residing at the corner of Blydenburg and Montauk avenues, New London, was the maddest man in the county Sunday when he dis covered that his chicken coops had been robbed. He had cause to be mad. too, for he had been robbed without any sympathy in the least from the thieves. About three weeks ago he lost If chickens to thieves, and Sat- urday night he lost nine more.
 After the first robbery he bought 20 chickens from parties who were to vacate their premises and placed them in his GOODS where securely lock ed. MT. Dillon retired, feeling that his chickens were safe. Sunday he dis covered that the locks had been torn from the hen house and nine of his fowl had been taken. The chickens were killed nearby in the lot near the now famous Ca1kins lot as there was abundant evidence that the thieves wrung the necks of the fowl there.

MEN ARE NOW
 CONTRASTING THEIR GUILT
Many Gave Wrong Ages When Filling
 Out Military Census Blanks.

Acting on the assumption that hon. esty, even belated honesty, is the best policy; that a stitch in time saves nine, that the time to lock the stable door is before the horse is stolen, and bearing in mind certain principles concerning the devil and the deep sea, the frying pan and the fire, thin line of veracity- loving heroes are fling. these days, into the office of United States District Attorney Thomas T. Spellacy. with information on certain misstatements made by them in the recent military census. Most of the trouble arose over the question de- manding the age of those who filled out the census blanks.
 The chief reason for this particular widespread divergence from the truth appears to be that there are shops and business concerns which prefer Young employees to older ones. and a wholesome respect for their jobs i'm pelled many to utterly forget the first few years of their life when question ed by the census taker. Although they had been assured that none of the matter contained in the census would be published, they preferred to be on the safe side and put them selves on record as being considerably younger than they really were
 Now with horror they learn that the census will in some respects be used as basis for registration sta tistics and the chagrin Of the 35-year- old citizens, who told the census man they were 30, has caused them to ga- ther in considerable numbers in Mir Spellaey's office and confess their mis- deeds. Had they told the truth in the first place, they would be exempt from the draft. By making themselves younger they come within the limits and may expect to be called upon for service
 MT. SpeHacy said Monday that his answer to most of those who have come with corrections on their vital statistics has been that they should know their own ages best. and if they alleged An be g years old but a couple of months ago the government cannot grant them birthdays indiscriminately and consider them 32 years old now He added that he had been amazed by the large number of those who had made mistakes" in ansWering the census questions.

Many a hoilow-cheeked, wripkled, aged-looking woman has come back
 and made herself look most beautiful. youthful and charming in from two to three weeks time, after she had given up all hope of ever regaining her girl ish attractiveness, by means of this wonderful simple method. Merely wash your face in warm water at night and rub in a teaspoonful or two of Creme Tokalon Roseated, which you can obtain from the druggist. In the morning wash the face with cold wa ter and rub in more cream. Day by day watch how the old, hardened, coarse, rough skin becomes new. fresh soft and youthful To oking. all due to simple osmosis of the skin, produced by warm water and roseated cream. If you have wrinkles, get a box of Jap anese Ice Pencils from your druggist and use them in connection with the cream, and you can get quick action on the deepest wrinkles. no matter of how long standing. There is no reason why any woman between 30 and 60 cannot make herself look from , to IS years younger by simply following these direc lions. Creme Toka1on Rose- ated and the Japanese Ice Pencils can be obtained at small cost from Lee & Osgood Co., or most any good druggist or department store in this city.
