MAKES WORLDS RECORD
 FOR ECONOMIC LIVING
Prot. w. M. Esten, of Stcrrs, is We'll Fed at a Cost of 51.a Gents for . Week

Prof. William M. Esten, in charge of the departments of bacteriology cultural college. storrs, has just made the worlds record for economic Hv- ing, having demonstra ted that 1t is possible to subsist we'll on total of SIS cents per week.. or "A cents per
 Prof. Esten is trying a series of ex- perlments to prove upon what sort of diet and at what minimum of cost railroad strikes, etc He was his own subject, in the first experiment just completed. In his next test, he will pick ten representative students from the college body for the experiment.
 The grains he selected for his use were whole corn. wheat. rye and roll ed oats. and he provided himself with small hand grinding mill When . the grains were ground, they were sifted and the finer portion was used to make the bread which he used. The coarse part went for cereals. The fine wheat and rye can be made into either raised bread, or sour milk or butter milk bread and muffins-
 During his weeks experiment the materials used, the amounts of each and their cost were as follows:
 Corn. ID. 2 oz., cost 2.Sc.
 Wheat, lbs. OF. cost 15.4c.
 Rye. 1 oz. cost 3.5e.
 Oatmeal. oz. cost 2.5c.
 Skim milk. 5.5 ats. cost 1o.6c.
 Brown sugar and maple syrup. cost 7c.
 Butter cost 7c.
 Pork fat, cost 1c.
 Yeast cake. cost 2c.
 Total for the week, 51.sc or 7.4c
 The total caIories of energy in the above diet amount to 14.S91, or an average of 2,123 ca1ories per day. Since the average person requires from 1000 to 2,5oo calories daily. according to height and the work done, it is seen the foods provided all the calories which an average person would re- quire.
 Each meal consisted of some cereal, a cup or so of skim milk. ounces of whole wheat bread. two teaspoonfuls of brown sugar or three of maple syrup, and three or four grams of but ter. The cold corn meal was often fried in little pork fat and eaten with maple syrup. The cereals worF q be prepared the night before. left cooking on the range, so would be ready for breakfast the following
 When Prof Esten began his test he weighed 1s4, 10 or 15 pounds too heavy for the correct standard of health. At the end of the week his weight had iessened to 1s0 1-2, he was feeling in fine health and spirits. and the good effects of his diet remained with him for a week afterwards.
 He found this ration not only satis- lying but tasty and filling. With fruit and vegetables and his regimen as a basis, he claims that one would have the ideal diet, a great improve ment upon overeating of the five sta pies, meat, potatoes. four, sugar and fats, which result in cancer, appendi- citis, colds. apoplexy, gout, hardening of the arteries. etc. mostly due to errors in diet. The great fault with the average menu, Prof Esten claims, is it's lack of mineral content.
 Whole grains furnish the needed n1inera1s-otherwise lost in the mill ing-and skim milk contains all the minerals Of the whole milk

 Health Officer E. J. Brophy gives this work his heartiest coIn-nenoation and has promised to give the children a lecture on What to Do When Baby is Sick.
 The Little Mothers League work has been fruitful of splendid results in New York city and Philadelphia and and other cities where 1t has been carried on.
 In the last Monthly Bulletin of the State Board of Health of Connecti- cut there is an earnest plea for def- mite work along infant welfare lines. Many cities and towns in Connecti- cut made special effort in the way of baby saving last year.
 The interest and cooperation of the general public in this new departure of the public health nursing commit tee of the United Workers is solicited. A special committee will be appointed in the near future for the further shaping Of definite plans

sling for the redemption of mankind. God put us here to do a work.
 In every great crisis there are all ways two things to be considered: the circumstance and the character which
 effects it. The relation of one to the other determines the issue. As Em- erson says. .The man and the hour arrive together. We are today at a great national crisis. We see our lib- erty struck at and we face tremendous issues We might shirk them but for America the man and the hour arrived together and what one was the other became.
 All men come into the world with a mission. Have you and accomplish ed anything of it? Have we used our powers and gifts for the broadening of humanity We may save our lives at the expense of heart and mind The greater part lies in losing our lives for the benefit. of others. Our sacri- foes may save the great mass of hu- nDanity. Let us live and carry on our lives so that ultimate victory may be the lot of mankind.

Any Baseball This Season?

With the passing of the Sunday law and providing that Norwich is allowed Sunday baseball Taftville should get busy and get started in booking some good material for baseball team. For the past two years baseball has been on the decline in this village and if it keeps up the national sport will be unknown here. TaftviIle itself can produce some fast material and if the fans will give team their support the village can be put back on the baseball map.

Use Cocosnut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition. be careful what you wash it with
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much aikali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful Just plain mu1sified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-. tirely greaseless}. is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampOoing. as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two .tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather. and cIeanses the hair and scalp thoroughly The lather rinses out easily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt, daI.drun and ex- cessive oil The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaye1 it fine and silky, bright. fiuffy and easy to man age.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and q few ounces is enough to hast everyone In the family for months

THEATER RECEIPTS.

 Their Competitors.
 To my knowledge there never was Il theatrical manager who reported his real receipts. The business representa- tires of all touring organizations in v;,riably swell.the money admissions in their nightly telegraphic reports to the home office by a certain stipulated sum varying from $2OO to $500 This sys- tenn is calculated to deceive the tele- graph operators at either end and any competitor to whom the message may be shown.
 Once, in entirely good faith. q wide ly known theatrical manager was com plaining to a friend of the bad busi- ness one of his attractions was expert. encing. He was endeavoring to i'm press his colleague with the futility of sending productions on tour.
 "You can't imagine how low our re ceipts fell yesterday in a one night stand," he declared.
 How low were they?" asked the friend.
 Nine dOllars," replied the manager
 He had exaggerated by $2. The re ccipts were actually $7. Force C: habit-he just couldn't help it.-Rel. mold Wolf in American Magazine.

PERRY AND JAPAN.
Our Naval Officer Knew How to Handle
 the Lofty Orientais. -

the Lofty Orieheais.
 Captain Perry, the American naval officer who opened Japan to the world. knew the value of lofty dignity in dealing with orientals, says Willis ]. Abbot in his "Story of Cur Navy"
 "On the Stn of July, 1852. the squad ron anchored of the city of UFaga, the bay of Yeddo, Japan. Captain Perry decided that the proper course to pur- sue with the Japanese was to assume a very lofty and commanding tone and bearing.
 He therefore ordered away from the sides of his vessel the boats which swarmed around it and allowed none but government officials of high rank to come aboard. He himself remained in seclusion in his cabin, treating with the Japanese through intermediates.
 He moved his squadron nearer the capital than was allowable and the, demanded that a special commission. composed of men of the highest rank, be appointed to convey his letter from the president to the emperor.
 '-The close proximity of the ships oe war to the capital and Captain Perry's percmptory demand were net at all to the liking of the Japanese. hut they were greatly impressed with his ap- parent dignity and power and at last consented to receive and consider the letter."
