When Philemon W. Johnson of Nor folk, town treastUer and leading bus ness man, disappeared some wee6 ago 1t was said that he had commit ted suicide. Developments show thnt
 the affair was more of a tragedy than the end of life. It was the collapse O. a character, the voluntary throwinf' away Of a reputation, the rerudiatior of trust imposed in him an& the sev erance of all those ties that make for
 manhood and satisfaction in life, Ii
 would be hard to imagine more com
 plete collapse. Such incidents are not
 as rare as they ought to be in Con-
 necticut. When they occur they leave
 one dazzled and puzzled. Inevitably
 the query arises: "How can a man
 who has through the years enjoyed in
 unusual degree the confidence, respect and honor of his community as well as the. privileges. preferment and ad-
 vantages that go with such standing. deliberately throw 1t all away for a few thousand dollars" How is 1t possible for transitory dollars to as- sume such distorcted value in the es-
 timation of men of experience and presumed intelligence? That the ex- change is made now and then indi- cates the prevalence of a false stand ard that is sadly in need of tearing down and repudiation. Money is de- sfrable, but is not the chief end of a decent life, and 1t is very easy to pay far too high a price for it.-Bristol Press.

All medical authorities advocate outdoor life and exercise in the open, and the mother who is anxious to see her little ones grow up strong and vigorous should follow this splendid advice. If your children are too young to go out alone, go with them. Do not feel embarrassed because you must be their companion-that you have no nurse maid to take them out. In former days few women had maids of any kind. yet those t'old fashioned" mothers got along all right They went out with their children and played with them, and what those sensible women did the mother of to- day should do.

There are many deyotees of the embroidery -needlde whose eyes and back grow weary, after working more than just so long. Yet at times when it is imperative or desirable that a little more be accomplished, in ot-der to finish the piece in hand at the time required. there is a very definite relief to be found in a certain change of po- sition. When the sight and back mus cles begin to tire try taking a good pulmp pillow-one with smooth cover-into the lap, and allow the el- bows to rest on it slightly.

 by Former City Clerk.

Waterbury, Oct. 3.-The entire re- publican ticket, headed by William H. sandland, candidate for mayor, was elected today, giving the republicans a majority of three on the board of aldermen, a reverse of the position they have held for the past two years Sandland, who is a former city clerk of Waterbury, defeated his democratic opponent, Mayor Ecully, by a major ity of 637, polling 4,933 votes to Scullys 4,296.
 With Mayor Scully were defeated several other democratic city officials, some of whom had held office many years. Among these were William F. Mohr, for three terms city clerk; Ed ward F. Moran, city treasurer for two terms; Michael D. Russell, who has
 been city controller for 10 years; and
 Matthew J. Smith, whose period of
 service equals that of Mr. Russell.
 James R. Lawlor, for many years tax collector, also was swept out of office. Mayor Scully was twice elected to his present office.
 The new city clerk, Charles B. Tomkinson, has been assistant city
 clerk for two years; Robert E. Han
 negan succeeds Moran as treasurer; | Elmer E. Parker gets the place of Controller Russell Robert c. Stone was elected city sheriff and Frederick c. Bauby, tax collector.
 One democrat, John J. Walsh, was elected to the board of education, but the vote he received is less by near ly 800 votes than that of either Her. bert l.. Holmes and Robert F. Platt republicans, who also were chosen. The new board of aldermen will 1 consist of nine republicans and six democrats.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY DOWN IN NEW HAVEN
Entire Ticket Swept Into Office With Dave Fitzgerald at the Head
 of Ticket. s

New Haven, Oct. 3.-In the most overwhelming victory recorded in New Haven in a city election since John P. Studley carried every ward in the city nearly a score of years ago, David E. Fitzgerald, democratic standard bearer, was swept into of- flee yesterday as mayor by plural ity of 2,675 votes and the entire dem ocratic ticket was elected to the city offices, the terms of which expire on January l. The democratic plurali- ties ranged from Mayor-elect Fitzger- aids almost record figure of 2,675 down to that scored by John E. Doug
 han, who defeated Frederick E. Whit aker, twelve years in the office of town clerk, by a plurality of 7S6. The democrats further emphasized their sweep and took a firm grip on the control of city affairs for the next two years by electing 4 of the 21 mem bers of the board of aldermen, even electing the ward representatives from the Eighth and Ninth wards.
 The democrats carried the Board of Aldermen with the entire city ticket. Democrats were elected in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, Ill1t1l, eloFeHln, tWelltn, ana nItoenCn wards. In the first ward Charles c. Merriam, a republican, was elected; and in the second Dr. William l.. Sheahan, Jr., by a small majority, se- cured reelection. Henry w. Stowell, republican, was elected in the thir- teenth ward, and Miles A. Mathews in the fourteenth Ten democrats and the four alderm en-at- large were elected, leaving the republicans a representation of only seven members. The surprise was that a democrat was elected in the eighth and ninth wards, generally considered republ- can. Although the present alderman from the eighth is a democrat. AL derman Hitchcock of the tenth ward was endorsed by both democrats and republicans.
 MT. Fitzgerald gave the following pledge:
 1T know it is human to err, but if I fail it is because no other man has succeeded. I will succeed, I know, for I will give to the city the best that is in me to safeguard it's inter- ests and protect it's rights. No one l is more conscious than I of the great responsibility which has come to me by the election and I ask for the cooperation, good wishes, and pray CTS of the citizens"

Kills Catarrh Germs
Breathe Hyomei-A Remedy Free
 From Harmful Drugs.
Sold Under Druggists Guarantee.

Catarrh is an inflammation of the mucous membrane which causes a dis charge.
 The inflammation is caused, some physicians say, by the pernicious ac-
 tivity of little germs or microbes that 3 lodge in the folds and crevices of the
 smucous membrane. Catarrh can be ended by killing these germs.
 Medicines taken into the stomach may act on1the blood and tone up the
 system, but it is not believed that they can destroy catarrh germs. Sprays and douches are good as far as they go, but they do not go far enough. No liquid can reach the low CT throat or lungs, neither can a liquid penetrate into the folds and crevices Of the mem brane, where germs. secret themselves.
 r The germs can be reached by HY- OMEI, a soothing antiseptic which you breathe into the lungs. HYOMEI, breathed through the in Ihaler that is in each outfit or as a |vapor, acts quickly; the soothing ef- fleets are soon noticed HYOMEI is recommended for any ydisease of the nasal passages and |throat where inflammation is present. It. is effectively used for colds, espe- (cially the vapor treatment, which is loften used to break up cold over might. It is also used for coughs, sore lthroat, croup and asthma. Hyomci is guara nteed. If you purchase HYOMEI and are not satisfied we will refund the. money |The Clark & Brainerd Co.,.
