the time of the declaration of the war in 1914, Dr. Horr was with many other delegates in attendance upon the World Peace Congress in Zurich, Switzerland. At the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin in 1909, Dr. Horr was one of the historians selected to speak at the observance of the anniversary in Geneva.
 It is to be hoped that a large num- Der of the Baptist constituency of New Britain will attend this confer ence, and come into closer touch with the educational interests of the de- nomination. There is no intention of making an appeal for contributions at this meeting, and no such appeal will be made. It is calculated, how ever, that the conference will awaken deep interest in the educational in stitutions of the denomination, and also in education itself

CANNOT WORK OR PLAY

When you are run down in health so that it impairs the efficiency of your work as we'll as your power to enjoy the pleasures of life it is time that you gave Dr. Williams Pink Pills a trial.
 The condition that doctors describe as general debility when they describe it at all is outside of the experience of most physicians until the blood has become so impoverished that it can be called anemia. Unless this condition of bloodlessness has been reached you simply complain of failing energy, loss of appetite, constipation, lack of ann bition and animation. If you are we'll to-do your physician will probably ad- wise change of climate. If not, he will tell you there is nothing much the matter with you. He means thatthere is no organic trouble.
 But the blood is thin and the whole system lacks tone. The blood goes everywhere, practically, and improving tho quality of the blood by using pr. Williams Pink Pills, tones up the whole body, improves the appetite, quckens the step and puts new punch in life generally.

Milk Campaign StatiStiCs-Watch
 for Your Milkman'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 refractivc 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 per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 3.25 per cent. fat. Milk should be clean, but a mere trace of dirt does not signify a dirty milk. On the oth CT hand. there is a no excuse for milk containing d small or large amount of dirt. The hOuSekecpcrS can do as much toward making the campaign success as can the board of health by reporting to both their milkdealer 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 daries in the city and on the farms.

 Senator Stone Opposed
 Senator Stone, chairman of the ior eign relations committee, opened dis Clssion in opposition to the resolu- t;cn, declaring that it would take more than two weeks of the senate's time if every senator took tho pro- posed hour to discuss the subject He urged that the resolution be sent to the foreign relations committee.
 II am against this resolution,' he said Ut has been introduced with out due deliberation and with great haste, as if he were apprehensive that some one else might precede him on the stage. What is to be accom- pHshed by this resolution if adopted? The resolution declares it is impos- sible for the senate to take official action at this time on these grave matters But the senator has writ ten into the resolution that it was the obvious object to invite free and frank expression from the members of the senate for the guidance of the presi- dent. There is no official action to be taken. If therefore, half a dozen speeches should be made antagonistic and disappearing the address in whole or in part and another half dozen speeches be made endorsing and ap- proving it, how would the president of the United States be enlightened 9" aSkd Senator Stone. Tn what way would the presidents steps be guided by such course. There is no desire on the part of the presidents friends to prevent the fullest expressions on the subject. Let the country discuss it: let the world discuss it. But for the senate to set aside such an amount of time as this resolution proposes when no official action can be taken seems to mo to be a melancholy waste of time.
 Before vote could be ordered, Senator Shafroth, democrat urged a public hearing by the foreign rela- tons committee.
 Action on Senator Cummins' resO- lution was deferred and it was sent to the calendar after it had been de- bated two hours
