Webster 10 Buy Shoes for Home Guard

The boys in the home guard of Web ster, like those of Putnam, are without shoes for service. But unlike the Put nam boys, shoes are to be provided for them. The provision Is to be made by the town.
 When it was found that shoes would not be furnished by the state of Massa- chusetts as part of the equipment the captain of the company appealed to the seleetnen on the ground that it would be hardship for some of his men to buy shoes. The matter was taken up by the selectmen and it was decided to make the purchase.
 The shoes, when bought, will be deemed part of the equipment ana are to be worn only when the company is on duty. It is believed that this method will insure uniform appear ance of the shoes Of the company, as if bought by the members they would feel at liberty to wear them whenever they pleased.

All Have Something 10 Say About Mesa More letters from Putnam boys who have entered the government service have arrived this week. The first to come was letter from Michael J. Daigle, son of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Dsigle, Providence street, who left his position In the Putnam Savings Bank 10 enlist in the quartermasters reserve corps and who was summoned te act- i've service some weeks ago. He writes in part:

More Liberal Sunday Law in Effect
Necessary Articles May Be Sold Seven
 Days Week

The new so called Sunday Law went eral in it's provisions than any law heretofore passed.
 This law will permit the sale Of arti- cles of necessity and will allow the opening of stores selling such articles on seven days in the week instead of restricting them to as at present. The law now in force requires the closing of the small grocery and other stores on Sunday, in case they are open on Saturday, the dealers electing which day to do business. Incidentally the passage of the new law will save the police department the solution of pres- ent problems regarding one day clos ing especially the one which las been caused by having store open on Sat. urday in charge of the proprietor and on Sunday Tn charge of his wife. The new law reads as follows:
 The sale of milk, bakery, fruit, ice, ice cream, confectionery, non alcoholic beverages and drinks, tobacco in any form, smokers supplies, newspapers and other periodicals, drugs or auto- mobile supplies, by retail dealers whose places of business are open for the sale thereof on secular days, shall not be a violation of the provisions of chapter ll9 Of the public acts of 1913, providing the provisions of this act shall not apply to any hotel or restau- rant or be construed to permit any person to engage in any business on Sunday at place where he is licensed to sell spirituous or intoxicating liquors, except 6 regularly licensed druggists who shall not, on Sunday sell any spirituous or intoxicating liquor except upon the prescription of q licensed physician.

PUTNAM CONN. FRIDAY, AUGUST 3 1917
BATHING BEACH
 BEING PLANNED
Henry 4. Reach Thinks Public Should
 Have Good Place to Swim
May Erect Bath Houses and Enlarge Pool
 Known as "TourteIlotte'

Henry A. keeeh, manager of the Putnam Box Corporation, who owns the property on the east bank of the Little river, formerly the old golf course and base ball grounds, is think ing strongly of enlarging the swim. ming hole known inow as "Tourtel- lotIe's" and of erecting bath houses and throwing 1t open to the public for a nominal charge.
 MT. Keech, hearing of the possibili- ty of Roselaud Lake being closed to bathers, said Wednesday: "If they close the lake, as far as l can see the public will have no place to go in bathing. 1 am not thinking of the people who can afford to go to the beaches or the people who own auto mobiles and can go here and there. am thinking of the people who have to work, the people who have no bath rooms. It will be too bad if bathing privileges are not afforded them some. where. 1 believe that if bathhouses were erected and a proper place made in which 10 bHthe it would be greatly appreciated by these people. l am in :. tending to do this. IL would take a month or more before a proper, en- larged, swimming pool could be clear ed out and perhaps it wouldn't do much good this year. If | do carry out my plan as l intend, the place will be run right 1 will have telephone installed and if there is rowdism or rough.house work the police will be summoned al once. 1 intend To make a place where men, women and chil- dren can go and be absolutely safe and two piece bathing suits will have to be worn there too.'
 MT. Keech said he might also build some tennis courts, have a merry-go- round and make a pleasure resort Of the place. Also sell ice cream, candy and soda on week days.
 Mr Keeeh believes that such place could essily be made To pay for itself While it would afford pleasure to hun dreds of people not possessed with the means to seek recreation out of town.
 From time to time the PATRIOT has urged the need in Putnam of public swimming pool. The thought in mind was to have it conducted by the city but there was little hope of seeing the plan carried out in this manner with the present city debt. If MT. Keech does carry out his plan as he intends he will be the benefactor of hundreds of reople whom we believe will take advantage of such an opportunity as his plan offers. The PATRIOT is con vinced that MT. Keech's proposed en. terprise is a good one, will fill a long felt need and will have the support ol the public.

TO TEST WATER
 SUPPLY
Samples of WaIer Have Been Sent For Analysis to Determine If Bathing is
 peleteriOuS
Water Commissioners Will be Guided by
 Finding

Last week the PATRIOT called atten. tion to the criticism being heard of allowing bathing in Roseland Lake, from which Putnam gets its water supply. this summer, and suggested that 1t ought to be determined as to whether it is deieterious to allow bath ing in the lake.
 The board of water commissioners have since done the very thing sug. gested. They have taken samples of the water and sent them on to be an nalyzed and will be governed by the chemists finding.
 While there are many people that believe bathing should be stopped there are equally AS many hold the opposite view and believe that as the lake is so far from the intake at the pumping station that the water puri. fies itself in the mile flow. They also point out that bathing has continued for all these years since the water company first began to get it's supply at the lake and there have been no bad effects.
 On the other hand those who think that bathing should be stopped point out that never have so many bathers gone into the lsbe as in the past few summers and especially this summer Durinp the present hot spell hundreds have enjoyed the bathing al Rose land park and automobiles furnish an easy means of transportation.
 The fact that this body of wste: is about the only place where there is bathing makes officials and many people losth to have it stopped.
 However when the analysis is made the matter will be determined as to whether any benefit will be had or threatened danger avetted by having the lake closed to bathers. It Is un derstood that the matter has been placed in the hands of Corporation Counsel, Attorney Ghasl% l.. TorTey to determine the legal aspect should il be thought best te close the lake. IL has been stated that some of the abut ters on the lake claim bathing priv. ileges AS an inalienable right

NO WHITE BREAD
 WEEK
The Inn and Hotel Chickering Will Serve No White Bread from bih to l,th
 Inclusive
New England Hotel Men's Association 10 Assist Plan 10 Conserve Wheat
 and Educate Public

Beginning next Monday and for 8 whole week no white bread will be served at hotels whose propnetors are members of the New England Hotel Mems Association. The plan was adopted al recent meeting of the as sociation in Boston for a two-fold pur- pose-to conserve wheat flour and to try and induce the public to eat more of the coarser and more nutritious va. rieties. Hotel men outside of the asso- citation, clubs and restaurants have been invited to join in the movement and there has been ready and vii ling response.
 Landlord Rogers of the Putnam Inn, member of the association, said Tues day morning that he was heartily in favor of the plan. He said he would observe No White Bread Week but would have plenty of graham, rye and corn bread for his guests.
 Landlord Lucy of Hotel Chickering said he would also cooperate in the plan and do as the rest do. He will serve rye and graham bread to his guests.
 Clubs and restaurants have been asked to come in on the plan and many Of the big city clubs, eafes and restaa- rants have assented.
 The movement has become very wide one in Massachusetts. The plan has been extended into the individual homes. The movement, first set in motion by the Massachusetts food ad- ministrator, Henry B. Endicott, and taken up by the hotel men, has cresl- ed great interest throughout theU Unted States. A communication from Her bert c. Hoover, national food adminis- tratoF, K Is follows:
 "t am much interested in the wheat less week proposition and think 1t would be valuable if you send us de. tails for our public Information depart. ment to release to press associations at time you make matter public in New Eng land '
 The food administrator letter to the housewives follows;
 "At my request the hotel managers, restaurants and clubs of Massachu- setts have unanimously agreed to eliminate white bread in any form from their tables for the week com mencing Aug. 6.
 Every one of these men was pleased that they had the chance to show 10 the public that they realized we were really at war, and 1t was their duty to help in every way possible, and this appealed to them as enc way in which they could help now.
 The same thing applies to every housewife in this land, aHnd 1t is my earnest wish that every housewife in Massachusetts commence Monday, Aug. 6, and for the entire week elimi nate white bread in any form entirely from her table. Every woman in Massachusetts has this chance, and l believe every woman will do her part. Every pound of flour which you save means doing your share toward saving the lives of our boys in Europe"

HOT WAVE ALMOST
 UNBEATABLE
Many Mills Close Down When ThermOm- eters Show Over 100 Degrees
psoule Made Lifeless by Terrific and
 Prolonged Heat

II looks this Friday morning as if ,be hack bone of the terrific heat wave that began last Monday is broken. Let ns hope so. That no prostrations or deaths have been reported in Putnam shows that the citizens are hardy lot It has been the most trying week in the knowledge of the oldest inhabit ants.
 Until the slight showers of Thurs day evening there was not cloud to shield the earth from the scorching sun. Thermometers registered any where from 9S to l16 on Main street according to whether one looked on the sunny or shady side. The mill agents left it to their emyloyes whether they would continue at work or go home. They began to leave and soon so many had gone out that several of the mills closed down entirely. This was so in the neighboriDg villages as wei as in Putnam.
 Nights brought little relief. Auto owners were out in force and rode about with no other objective than to create little breeze. People slept on roofs, in back yards and on porches. Inside houses were like ovens. Every one was tired and ltfeless through want of proper rest. There was big demand for ice cream and cooling drinks. Men went about without eoats or collars and no one thought anything about it. Anything to help just q little bit to keep cool was per missible. Hundreds of people went in bathing night and day. Even the 0liy Quinebaug river was resorted 10. But the water was so warm that il was not 50 invigorating.
 Today, Friday, is veritable dog day. Muggy and sticky but relief from The scorching sun.
