scHooL TEACHERS WILL
 APPLY FOR PENSIONS
Four Thousand Will Make Applica- ton for EnrolIment ia System.

Four thousand public school teach- ers in the state will make application to be enrolled in the pension system established under the law passed at the last session of the general assem- ply. 1t is indicated from reports re- ceived at the office of the Teachers retirement board in the capitol from committees in charge of school dis tricts and from school boards in towns where the districts are consolidated, says the Hartford Times. This will be about one-half of the total number of teachers employed in the public schools of the state. The pension will range from minimum of $500 a year to a little over $1,000.
 The three new rules recently ad- opted by the retirement board pro- vide that when a teacher loses pay for an absence of less than a month, from other than formal leave of ab- sence he or she will be required to pay the assessment of that month as if on full pay. Any teacher on formal leave of absence may. if preferred, pay monthly assessments to the annuity fund during absence, and the period of time covered by assessments paid in this manner shall be construed as constituting actual service provided that the number of such assessments Eaid in continuity shall not exceed the number payable in one school year.

SUGAR SITUATION IS
 NOW WELL IN HAND.
Statement Issued by U. 8. Food Ad-
 minis1rator Seoville.

"The sugar situation Is now well in he end," said Robert Scoville, United States food administrator, at head quarters of the committee of food sup- ply of the state council of defense.
 MT. Scovil1e's statement follows:
 There has been a panic and a run on the sugar. bank, but it would seem chat the crisis was passed If the con- sumner will purchase only for imme- diate needs, there should be enough for all, and a new stock soon to arrive will be sold at a reasonable price Only a few of the wholesalers seem to be trying to take advantage of the situa- tion and to make unreasonable profits, and most of the dealers have tried to a9r in a public-spirited manner.
 Ut should be remembered that none of the wholesalers have paid more than the normal price for sugar, as the re- liners are working under an agreement with the United States food admins tration. After Nov. 1 all of the whole salers will be licensed. The whole in cident shows how near we are to food shortage, and the purchase of c0,000,000 pounds of sugar in Louisi- ana indicates the intention of the food administration to care for our own peoples needs.
 The necessity of conservation and the danger of hoarding are shown by the experience of the last few days

 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The, condi- ton Is perfectly natural. It Is just as natural as 1t is for old people to walk slowly. For age Is never SO active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is import ant at all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
 Age Is not time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bow used use ie every % day. What WT the sn bowels SH % of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per Eox at any drug store. They work while you sleep.

MISS CAMPBELL INsTRUcTs MONTViLLE COMMITTEE
Expected That Nearly 1,5o0 Pledges
 Will Be Secured in That Town.

On Monday afternoon Miss Nellie J. Campbell. home economies director for this ceunty met the administration pledge campaign committee in Mont vile to explain the nature of the cam paign and the method to be followed in getting signatures to the pledge. It is expected that nearly 1,500 pledges will be secured in that town. The quota for tine county is 15,000.
 On the eve of the big nation wide drive for food pledge cards, Of which Connecticut is to sign 100000, Federal Food Administrator Herbert Hoover ton about the weekly report cards, which are to be handled by the churches. MT. Hoover's telegram was in part as follows:
 the churches are not pledge cards but were intended to supplement the pledge card campaign by committing church members of all denominations, weekly diet for the eight weeks fol- lowing pledge-card week, or until the first of the year. We need the full CO., operation of all church members in making the family pledge effective first and then following it with their own weekly report cards. It Is hoped this explanation will remove the confusion growing out of the request of the president to postpone the pledge card campaign so as not to interfere win the Liberty Loan finish"
 After the coming week the churches will begin to issue and compile from their weekly report card summariza- tions, which will be sent to the United States food administration at Wash ington, so that the federal officials may know as accurately as possible low well the signed pledges are be- ing observed. State Food Committee Chairman George M. Landers says that the point they emphasize is that if each family will each week save little meat, wheat. butter, bread or su- gar the aggregate conservation throughout the nation will be enor- nous, perhaps sufficient to feed the troops in France and further relieve the food pinch in France.
