INSPECTIONS AS
TO FIRE. HAZARDS
TO Be CONTINUED
Surveys Have Already Been
Made In Bridgeport and
New Haven

Hartford, Nov. 20-Inspectors of
the Conservation Association of Con-
necticut, who recently started cam
paign to eliminate or reduce fire
hazards in this state as a war meas
ure, will extend their work this week
and next to the following cities and
towns:
Waterbury, New Britain, Bristol,
Plainville, Berlin, Terryville, Union
City, Naugatuck, WATERFOWL, Water
vile, Thomaston, Mystic, Noank,
Stonington, Pawcatuck, rotor and all
of Windham county
The inspectors recently made in
spections in New Haven and Bridge
port. Their work has the endorse
ment of the Connecticut State Coun-
ell of Defense and the Council of Ma
tional Defense and their methods are
to make careful surveys of the places
they visit to discover fire hazards and
make recommendations that the con-
ditions they find be changed so as to
reduce the fire risk as much as pos
sible.
engaged in the survey. They are ex-
perts in their line, and letters have
been sent by the State Council to the
Ai1y OI6 dA0 lIS 1AO POlACS CIIS1S Ol
the two cities which, it is hoped, will
help to make the task of theS in
spectors easier. The council also
asks the general public to cooperate
as much as possible with the inspect
ors SO as to help make their patriotic
efforts successful.
Certain classes of property will. not
be Inspected, notably buildings that
are regularly inspected by insurance
companies, comparatively isolated
pieces Of property that are of insig-
nif1cant value and certain buildings
that are classed as non-hazardous.
The inspectors will visit the var
ious pieces Of property as represen-
tatives Of the State Council and the
equipped with authorization cards is
sued by Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb and
countersigned by the State Fire Mar
shall and Richard NJ. Bisse11 of Hart
ford, chairman of the Defense Coun-
Gil. With these arrangements made
for credentials, it is expected that
the inspectors will be Welcomed by
the property owners to whom they
apply and that the latter will Co.
operate in making efficient the ac-
complishment of what is considered
one of the most important conserva-
ton movements set on foot since the
start of the war.

incident was accepted as a signal for
a general uprising all over the repub-
ltc. AS a result, Porfirio Diaz was
driven from the country, and Madero
became president. Orozco then start
ed a counter revolution and Huerta
planned the coup by which he gained
supreme power for a time. The Car
ranza-Villa revolution against Huerta
at length sent that warrior into exile.
Then came the break between Car
rama and the famous bandit which
resulted, through the latter's depre-
dation, in the sending Of United States
troops to the border. Carranza now
seems to be fairly in the saddle, bat

HOW TO REMOVE
INK FROM CARPET

When freshly spilled, ink can be
removed from carpets by wetting in
milk. Take cotton batting and soak
up all of the ink that it will receive,
being careful not to let it spread.
Then take fresh cotton, wet in milk,
and sop it up carefully. Repeat this
operation, changing cotton and milk
each time. After most of the ink has
been taken up in this way rub the
spot. Continue till all disappears,
then wash the spot in clean warm
water and a little soap; rinse in clear
water and rub till nearly dry. If the
ink is dried in, I know of no way
that will not take the color from the
carpet as we'll as the ink, unless the
ink is on a white spot. In that case
salts Of lemon or soft soap. starch and
lemon juice will remove the ink as
easily as If on cotton.

CONSTIPATION
INVITES DISEASE

A reliable laxative is necessary to
the comfort and health Of any we'll
ordered household, because consti-
patton is a condition that affects, in
greater or less degree, practically
every member of the family. When
the bowels refuse to act the entire
system is effected; digestion is i'm
paired, nerves begin to witch, foul
gases and poisons generated by de-
composing substances in the in
testines are distributed throughout
the body, and often result in serious
illness. A prominent French sci
enlist says 95 per cent. Of all hui
man disease is directly traceable to
inactive bowels.
More than a quarter of a century
ago DR.. w. B. Caldwell prescribed
a com ination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin that is now the
standard remedy in thousands of
homes. This prescription is sold
by druggists for so cents a bottle,
under the name Of DIR. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin. A trial bottle can
be obtained, free of charge, by
writing to DR.. w. B. Caldwell, ass

The Farmers Life for Me! That
is the song old Rube O1dring is sing
ing these days. When RUDE finished
his major league career with the
Yankees he decided to quit the game
for good and go back to the soil. He
is now helping to increase the coun-
try's food supply on his los acre
patch in New Jersey, and says that
nothing in the world could induce
him to return to baseball.
Dick Hoblitzel ought to make quite

refuses to play, but it is just likely
that he fears another encounter with
the Giants. And the Detroit Tigers
won't play either. and have refused
McGraw's offer of a few games in

RELEASE OF CYANIDE

In an effort to replenish the supply
of cyanide, so valuable and necessary
to the mining industry of the country

Boyle has sent telegram to President
Wilson asking him TO take some steps
toward securing permission from the
British government to release and ship
to America Immediately some 1000
tons of the material tied up at Rot
terdam by an order in council.
The cyanide was purchased by an
American firm for distribution in this
country prior To the adoption of the
order In council under which II has
been detained.
The governor also sent q telegram to
Senator Pittman asking him to see
that the matter is attended to while
the British commission is in Washing.
ton. He also sent him a copy of the
telegram sent to the president.
The governors telegram to the
president says: May I respectfully
suggest request on British authorities
that some 1000 tons cyanide held in
Rotterdam, under order in council, be
released for American consumption.
This material, shortage of which is ser.
iously Gripping our mining industry,
was bought and paid for by Loesler.

GOVERNOR NAMES
HIGHWAY BOARD
Two Men From Reno and An.
other From Virginia Receive
Appointments

Governor Boyle yesterday morning
announced the appointment of the
members OF the Nevada State High.
way commission, and the men chosen
to head this important work include
James M. Leonard Of Virginia City,
superintendent of the Virginia & Gold
Hill Water Co., appointed for the long
term of three years; George Elder of
Reno, prominent citizen of the river
side city for the two year term: and
w. b. Alexander of Reno. formerly
secretary Of the Nevada Mine Opera.
tons association. for the one year
term. ....
This board has charge OF the con-
struction OF a system of state high.
ways authorized by the last legis-
lature. which made provisions for an
immediate starting of the work.
The State Highway commission is
one of the most important in the
state. and the men who constitute
its membership are eminently we'll
qualified TO administer the affairs OF
the commission. and have the over.
sight of the work. which promises to
be of vast benefit to the entire state.
Three main state highway routes
were provided for in the act passed
by the legislature.
The first meeting OF the commission
will take place in this city on Thurs
day April &c. at which time organiza-
ton will be perfected.
II will be remembered that the
last session of the legislature gave
the assent of the state to the accept
ance of the Federal Aid Road Act
and is therefore committed to the ex-
penditure of large sums of money
annually on the system of state high
ways. To obtain the full benefits Of
this federal aid the legislature passed
an act establishing a state highway
commission and arranged to appropri.
ate for each year an amount equivalent
to the federal appropriation for the
same year. 1t is expected that this
road building program and the con-
struction of cooperative roads under
the Federal Act referred to will result
in the expenditure OF more than a
million dollars in the next five years.
