MORE ABOUT SUNDAY
Speaker at Methodist Church Praises
Evangelist and Compares Him to
Abraham Lincoln. 49,.

Billy" Sunday, who recently closed
a campaign in Boston and who is to
be asked to institute an evangelical
campaign for Hartford and New Brit
ain people in the capitol city, was
again the theme at the Methodist
church yesterday when Franklin w.
Gonse Of Boston spoke on the famous
evangelist. Mr.. Gonse assisted Mr.
Sunday during his Boston campaign
and was able to form better opinion
Of him than people who met him but
once or twice. Mr.. Gonse told the To-
cad churchgoers that in his opinion
Sunday is similar to Abraham Lincoln
in many ways and both have exerted
a beneficial influence on the world
Mr.. Gonse declared that BILLY"
Sunday is an educated and talented
man and does not use the uncouth
slang that has made him famous be-
cause he knows no better. Mr. Gonse
once asked Sunday why he used the
slang expressions he did and was in
formed GOD wants me to use that
language, or 1 would not do it. I
want to get the young men and the
older men to hear me. 1 want an OPP
portunity to speak to them directly SO
they will understand me, and that is
the way l have of doing It," To an
other query as to why he uses slang,
Sunday asked critical clergyman
how many he had in his congrega-
ton. Upon being told that $50 was
good average the evangelist replied
that that number would be his aver
age too, if he used the best of Eng
dish.
Comparing Lincoln and Sunday, Mr..
Gonse said that both were born of
ignorant parents and what education
they obtained they worked hard to
get. Although Billy Sundays prayers
and sermons sound cold, uncouth and
lrrevelent when read in newspapers,
the preachers sincere manner of ex-
pressing them verbally takes away any
such idea.

TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

! Most growing girls need a tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly and
when their appetites are most tickle.
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances Of future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to impossible. Hence the need
for tonic. Almost every doctors
daughter is given a tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
you do not call a doctor and she gets
thin and pale, idgets so that she can
not sit still on chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little out
of-door exercise and perhaps faces St.
Vitus' Dance, or anervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help tolay a founda-
ton for future health.
The price of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box! Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent on
receipt of price by the DR.. Williams

Milk Campaign Statistics Watch
for Your Milknan'S Name

In this space daily appears the re-
suits of the laboratory examinations
of milk sold in New Britain. While
the health department makes a full
chemical and retroactive examination
of each sample, only the amount of
fat and the degree of cleanliness of
the milk will be recorded here in or
der that the reader shall not be con-
fused by an array of figures. The
average milk contains from 3.5 per
cent. to 4 per cent. fat. The statute
requires that it shall not be less than
1875 per cent. fat. Milk should be
clean, but a mere trace of dirt does
not signify a dirty milk. On the 9TH
er hand, there is a no excuse for milk
containing a small or large amount OF
dirt. The housekeepers can do as
much toward making, the campaign a
success as can the board of health by
reporting to both their milk dealer and
the health department any adverse
condition they find in the milk they
buy. This daily report will continue
throughout the month and later a full
report will be made of the sanitary
condition of the diaries in the city and
on the farms, ...
