CAPT. SMITHS WIDOW
 FEARED FOUL PLAY
Autopsy Was Performed on Body of
 Dead Man.

At the instigation of Mrs. Smith, an autopsy was performed Tuesday night on the body of Capt. Joseph Smith, keeper of Duck Island light, who was found dead in his bunk in the cabin of his auxiliary sloop Aunt Edte Mon day night Mrs. Smith requested the autopsy because she feared foul play.
 Mrs. Smith arrived in New London Tuesday and when she was told the cause of her husbands death was cerebral hemorrhage she expressed doubts and stated that she suspected foul play. Her suspicious were aroused because of alleged threats made against Captain Smith by a man with whom he had had business troubles.
 She interviewed Medical Examiner H. H. Heyer Tuesday and communi- cated her fears to that official. In or- der to satisfy Mrs. Smith, Medical Ex- aminer Heyer, who had previously an- nouneed the cause of death as cerebral hemorrhage, immediately decided to perform an autopsy.
 Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Nor wich, who was notified of the finding of Captain Smiths body earlier in the day, and of the subsequent develop ments was present.
 The autopsy failed to reveal any indications of foul play and proved that Mrs. Smiths suspicious were un- founded. It was clearly demonstra ted that cerebral hemorrhage, as stated by the medical examiner, caused Cap- tain Smiths death.

ENRoLLMENTs FOR
 WoMAN,s SERVICE LEAGUE
Mrs. John D. Hall Says They Are
 Coming in Satisfactorily.


 Mrs. John D. Hail, chairman of the local branch of the National Woman's Service League reported Wednesday that enrollnents are coming in sat- isfactorily.
 -1women who are willing and able" That is the sentiment now empha- sized in all the registration centres for matically it is sentiment that is go- ing far toward minimizing the activi- ties of the type of woman who rushes to serve, usually in the hospitals, and who has nothing to offer beyond good intentions.
 It is the type that yearns for the role of Lady Tender Heart in scene where the spotlight shines the long est, rather than the character parts of camp scullery maid or company sock darner. That there used to be more of her than unquestionably there is at present is due to the fact that three years ago women had not vet of specialties in patriotic service awaiting their reapers.
 In his report to the Red Cross As- sociation Colonel Jefferson R. kean, Medical Corps, U. s. A.. and director general of the medical division Of the Red Cross. made this observation:
 The picture of voluntary aid activ- ity, which is probably most spread in the popular mind and most appealing to the p9pular imaEination, is that Of a fair Young Red Cross nurse. seated serenely upon the battlefield, with the head of a young and comedy warrior resting on her lap. This Is con- the front is a field forbidden to Red Cross activities, and the duties to which women are now called in war are far less romantic.

EVERY RAILROAD MAN
 SHOULD READ THIS

Peterson Bros. Dear sirs: I was afflicted with what the doctors said were Varicose Ulcers, and up until about five weeks ago have been treating them for about year and i've months.
 With all the treatments that were prescribed to me by several doctors received little benefit, and they kept spreading and gave me much distress and caused me to quit my work.
 I was induced by. a brother brake man to try Peterson's Ointment, and after had used two boxes I saw the wonderful results. You can tell guf- fering ones troubled with ugly, pain ful and horrid ulcers that your OInt- ment is a cure for them when every thing else fails, as I have tried about everything.
 Thanking you many times over, am, your happy friend. Chas. J. Heysef, Battle Creek, Mich, 42 Glenwood Ave, Jan. 1z, 1918.
 q know and dozens of people write me-" says Peterson, that Peterson's Ointment also cures eczema, old sores salt rheum, piles and all skin diseases, and all druggists sell a big box for 25 ceIlts."

Hoiconb of the committee on food supply to work for increased pro duction of food crops in the state this year was endorsed by the executive committee of the Connecticut State grange Tuesday.

 The following resolutions were passed:
 At ful1 meeting of the executive committee of the Connecticut grange, it was voted:
 called upon every American citizen man, woman and child - to join to- gether as one unity to support our country in its present crisis. and
 Whereas, His Excellency. Marcus H. Holcomb, governor of Connecticut, has called upon the commonwealth of Connecticut to prepare for the su- preme need of our state and nation and the nations with which we are cooperating for an abundance Of food

Be it Resolved, That, realizing the inn portance of grains as a permanent source of food supply. both for men and animals. we urge upon our farm CT membership the increased produc- ton. either by an increased acreage or through more intense cultivation and more liberal fertilization, Of such grains as corn. wheat. rye. oats. bar lev and beans. as are best suited to the various agricultural lands of our state. We urge also strong effort towards a greatly increased produc- ton of such 1oug-keeping vegetables as potatoes onions. carrots and Swedish or rock turnips. not only for family supply but to provide sur plus for market. so that Connecti- cut may be far more self-sustafning Tn this direction than she has been in the past, and probably at less cost to the consumer and a satisfactory reward to the producer. While the present scarcity and high cost of la bor may in measure prevent the full fruitage of these suggestions. the citizens of Connecticut may be as- sured that the Patrons of Husbandry of Connecticut can be depended upon tod o their part to the fullest extent in these trying times.

HOW TO BE RID OF
 CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only way to get rid of digust- ing, untidy dandruff is to correct its cause. Shampooing merely cleanses the scalp for a few days, then the scales form again as thick as ever.
 To destroy the dandruff germ and get rid of the dandruff for good, part the hair and apply a little of the gen uine Parisjan Sage directly on the bare scalp and rub it in until absorbed. You will surely be amazed at the TO- suit of even one application, for your hair and scalp will look and feel 100 per cent. better. Only a few days massage with Parisian Sage should De needed to destroy the germs that cause dandruh to form. The scalp be- comes healthy, the hair win grow better, show more life and vitality and you should no longer be troubled by dandruff. Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly restored to beauty by this simple process. Partisan Sage can be obtained from Lee & Osgood and druggists everywhere. It is not ex- pensive.

 Equipment.

The numerous delegations from country towns that have been making l their way to the Headquarters of the military emergency board and urging that their companies be fully equipped with arms and uniforms and made units of the first line or active organ ization of the Connecticut Home Guard, has aroused the board to action and according to Assistant Adjutant Gen eral Benedict M. Holden, the matter
 has been placed before Governor Mar GUS H. Holeof11b.
 These calls for assurance of equip tnert are the outcome of the appre- hension which has been running through the small town units, com manders of which feel their men are liable to be left unarned and un- equipped in order to outfit com panies in the larger cities. The feel ing has gained ground that cities like Bridgeport. New Haven and Hartford, where there are large ann intuition and arms manufacturers, will get most Of the equipment.
