AN EXPERT ON COLDS

Comparatively few people realize that
cold is signal of physical weakness.
To treat cold with weakening
physics, alcoholic syrups or drugged
pills, may smother the cold but they also
reduce the bodypowers still furtheran
invite more serious sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion has always beenan
expert on colds, because it peculiarly
enriches the blood, quicklytones upthe
forces and strengthens both throat and
chest. Try SCOTS. Refuse Substitutes.

Les Darcy, by enIisting in the U. S.
aviation corps, has returned a con-
elusive answer to some of his critics.
Before we entered the war some Of
ficials made gTandstand plays by
barring the Australian fighter on the
ground that he was a Stacker, but at
the same time Fred Welsh was al
lowed to continue his dancing exhi-
billions, laying away the coin. Now
Darcy is to be allowed to fight COU-
pie of times in this country.
Jim Coffey and Carl Morris fought
a ten-rOund draw in New York,
showing to what a low level our
heavyweight fight standard has de-
seconded. Any good second-rater Of
former years would have had either

rounds.

CLEVELAND HERE FOR FIRST
SERIES AGAINST SOX
BY Mark Shields

OQdJy weather p6IUllLLURy Ln6
White SOx resume hOstilities in the
hunt for the American league flag.
They are safely in first place, no
matter what happens this afternoon.
Though Cleveland boasts only a
fifty-fifty record against st. Louis
and Detroit, while the SOX have risen
at the expense of these clubs, there
is foundation for the belief that in the
next four games the Hose will have
a stiff fight to do better than break
even.
Cleveland is better mechanically
than last year, because Of improve
ment in the pitching staff, and has
the confidence that a years expert
ence brings to a team. Foil is no
longer bossing a crew Of green hands,
liable to blow under fire.
Despite some poor pitching, the
Hose have made an excellent record
for this much of the flight. CicOtte
and Danforth, not regarded highly in
1916, have been the most competent
hurlers, left-handed Dave having sur
passed easily the efforts of his south
paw rivals, Williams and Russell. I'm
til these two come to something like
last seasons form, DanfOrth will
probably bear the burden of the left
handed f1inging.
Scott has pitched a couple of good
games. FabeT has as yet been unable
to use all his stuff, but will improve
with warm weather. Except for
the pitching staff the team is of
championship caliber and the pitch
ers are not to be lightly considered.
They do not have to be as effective
as former Sox STATS, for the attack
back of them is better than anything

FIRST DRILL
Canaan Home Guard Begins Regular
 Drills.

Nearly all of the enrolled member ship of Canaan Home Guard responded to the roll call at the town hall, Tues day night.
 At s o'clock the recruits were lined up before 1st Lieutenant Schmidt, who gave them some preliminary instruc. tions pending the arrival of Captain H. H. Saunders of Norfolk, who had accepted an invitation to be present and drill the company.
 Captain Saunders is veteran of the Spanish American war. By his tact and patience he won the good will of all the men and they did their best to follow his instructions.
 Double ranks were formed around three sides of the hall, one squad occupying the platform because of lack of floor space.
 Captain Saunders thoroughly ex. plained positions, the various orders, the correct steps to take illustrating all of them on the floor that every man could get the correct methods.
 With frequent stops for explanations the company spent the next hour and a half to the orders of Count off, right dress, left dress, right face, left face, about face, squad right, squad left, at ease.
 At the conclusion of the drill Captain Saunders was given three rousing cheers for his courtesy. He compli. mented the officers on the fine appear. ance of the men, their interest shown and the very evident desire to thoroughly learn the meaning of every order and how to comply with it correctly./
 Allyn Fuller was elected company clerk.
 The next drill will be held at town hall tomorrow night and each Friday night hereafter.

SEED POTATOES MAY BE HAD OF
 FARM BUREAU.

The Connecticut State Food Commis. sion, because of the sudden increase in the price of seed potatoes and the danger that such potatoes can not be secured at any price. has placed large order for Maine seed potatoes and from this order the allotment to the Litch. field County Farm Bureau has been 200 sacks. These sacks contain two bushels and three pecks. and though worth at least $l1 on the open market, will be sold to Litchfeld County Farmers for $9.7 per sack, plus the freight from the distributing point.
 Shipping directions have been held up by County Agent Manchester until he finds from what part of the county the largest number of orders for these potatoes will be received, then the car will be shipped there and small orders reshipped at the expense of the pur. chaser. Nearly all of these potatoes are Green Mountain.
 Any farmer wishing to secure any of this shipment should send his order at once to Allen W. Manchester, County Farm Bureau, Litchfeld, Conn.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS FOR FARM
 WORK.

The Connecticut Committee of Food Supply has completed arrangements for the prompt release from school duties of any high school boys who will volunteer for farm work this sum. mer and for whom plans can be found on the farms. These boys are to receive fair wages, the amount of which is to be agreed upon between the boys and their employer.
 Arrangements for the release of these boys and their employment are to be made directly through the high school principals. Any farmer who desires one or more of these boys should apply directly to the principal of the nearest high school. If he fails there, he may then make application to the County Agricultural Agent who can put him in touch with boys in other schools.
