AMBASSADORS STRIPPED OF
POWER BY REVOLUTIONISTS

Stockholm, Nov. 20-The Ameri-
can, French and British representa-
tives at the border station of Tornea,
opposite Haparanda, have been strip
ped of all actual power by Finnish
revolutionists. assisted by Russian
soldiers. At the outset the revolu.
tionists refused to recognize any Dip
1omatic privileges and detained prop
erly accredited couriers. They were
induced finally to desist from this at
titude, but they are bringing all con-
ceivable obstructionist tactics to bear
to compel the Entente representatives
to recognize them. Recognition has
been refused fatty.
The revo1utionists visited the
Swedish consulate in Tornea and de-
nlanded that the consul place his au-
tomobi1e at their disposal and he
himself act as their chauffeur This
he refused to do. The revolutions
lists then tore the Swedish flag from
the consulate and departed, declar-
ing they needed no foreign consuls
in Tornea.

New Loaves, Baked Ac-
cording to Food Con-
servator's Regulations

Color.

Mrs Housewife, if the color
and flavor of the bread you buy
at the stores after Dec. 40
doesn't suit your fancy, don't
blame the. storekeeper or the
baker Blame Uncle Sam, for
it's a measure for freedom and
liberty. Uncle Sans food ad-
ministrator has decided that it
must be done to keep the fight
ers fighting and the bakers of
Bridgeport will readily comply
with his order.
The war loaf may not have the
same nut-brown crust as the bread
you bought today possesses, but it
lacks nothing In noz1rishment and the
scientific housewife will discover that
At contains just an many calories.

next step viii be to make bread of
vegetable compounds. w. J. Travis,
appointed leader of section No. 1s of
the War Emergency Organization OF
the Baking Industry, predicts this
He says 1t is sure to come.
Speaking OF the new regulations to
become effective on December 10, Ira
Wis said, 'srhe bakers Of this district
win comply readily with the new reg
ulatfons under the government IL
cense. It Will entail many readjust-
ments In the bakers business and ]
am particularly anxious that the pub

however, to be satisfied to use what.

tinued.
Bakers accept the new regulation.

The government prescribed bread

The method Of distribution will be
known as the "coal card system"
which was outlined exclusively in The
Farmer yesterday. Persons in need
of coal must apply to the boards

the applicant has proven his need.
Every dealer will be required to
learn the weekly coal consumption of
the. applicant and the amount of coal.

will be accepted over the telephons
or by letter; the applicant must ap-.
ply in person No dealer will take
consumer shows a supply Of coal on

Three copies Of an order will be
made, one being kept by the dealer.
one for the fuel boards files and the
other for the buyer. The quantity
to a consumer will be the one ton
and when his supply is near exhaus-
ton the purchaser must present his
card, showing the date Of the last
purchase, before being allotted
another ton.
Commenting on the situation today
Chairman Carl F. siemon of the fuel
board said, "It has been brought to
the attention Of the committee that
parties more selfish in their motives
than patriotic, who had ample sup
plies in their bins to carry them
through the winter have endeavored
to add to this supply by endeavoring
to purchase ton lotS from various
dealers.
In order to protect the more needy
citizens and especially the working
classes, a plan for the distribution
of coal was adopted which met with
the hearty approval and will have
the sincere cooperation in it's en-
forcement of all the Dealers

the system was appointed and in

WHAT IT COSTS ID '
 1 RAISE POTATO CROP
Gardens Committee Gives Figures
 for Amateur A6riculturists

What is 1t going to cost to plant a plot?' is a question that is being asked of the New Britain Gardens committee with great deal of fre- 'quency. In order to answer this question as definitely as possible the following figures have been prepared, using potatoes, which will probably, prove the most expensive crop to plant Jas foundations for the figures.
 The size of the plot will be ap- proximity 50x100 feet. Eight of these plots will comprise an acre. One plot should prove sufficient to keep an average family in fresh vege- tables for the summer months at least. The first cost will be the culti- vatton of the ground, about $2.00 per plot. The committee is arranging for the blowing and will supply 1t at ab- solute cost, which might be a little less than the above figures. Fer tilizer Is to be supplied by the tenn porary owner of the plot. In order to guarantee a good crop this should not be stinted. Five dollars will put the land in good condition, according to the estimate of B. e. southwick of Storrs who conferred with the com mittee yesterday. The seeding, in potatoes. only will amount to about 5000. Approximately a bushel and a half is necessary for each plot. Other seeds of course will prove cheaper. Tho cost then, per plot, up to seeding time should be seven dollars, thirteen If the plot is planted in potatoes. The yield in potatoes for one plot will probably be in the neighborhood of twelve bushels. More may be ob- tained by careful tending of the. crop.
 The money for the blowing will he advanced by the committee and col- 1ected from the farmer later. Seeds and fertilizer will be bought by the farmer himself. All advices are, do not stint with the fertilizer if you wish results. The proper amount to use on your plot will be prescribed if you make it point to query the expert which the committee expects to have on hand to aid the tillers of the soil.
 ; It Is source of qualification to the committee in it's travels about the city to note the work that Is being un- dertaken in the back yards of many houses to further the garden cause. Many residents have taken cognizance of the situation that is likely to arise next fall and have planted extensive areas. If there are any questions arise in the planting of these plots the committee wishes it understood that it Is willing to help in any way possible and will willingly answer any questions that it can in regard to these plots. The committees aim is to raise the greatest volume of crops of the best quality possible and will do everything to attain its end.

Among the many people that have found the road to health in New Britain, II take pleasure in quoting MT. Martin who is a well known young man. He says:-

BETTER THAN CAloMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tsble( the sub. stitute for calomel 4arc mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with icalon1el. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that caiomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it: Why cure the liver It the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let pr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "du1lness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and ! disordered liver. Take pr: Edwards. Olive Tablets when you feel "logRy and ssheavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spir- its. 1Oc and 25c a box. All druggists.
