 The community was startled last Tuesday morning by a frantic call for help to extinguish a fire on Bald Hill. Mrs. Lawson started fire on her little garden plot; sudden breeze carried the sparks to the nearby dry grass and brush land and soon brisk fire was burning over the top of the hill and around the buildings. Six or eight mon from the immediate neigh borhOod and two little boys from the Red school house were soon hard at work aud had the fire under control and practically cut by the time the large force of men, which Mrs. Lawson had summoned from more distant parts of this town and from Stafford had arrived upon the scene. Without prompt help the fire might have been very serions, with ont doubt taking the barn and possibly much valuable lumber stacked near the base of the hill.

Produce food, utilize labor which would otherwise he wasted and relieve our transportation facilities by grow ing q war garden un vacant lot, or in the back yard, '' says Senator c. c. Hemenway. chairman of the Home garden department of the committee oi food supply, Connecticut State Council of Defense Three of the important factors in the war are food, labor and transportation. and the war garden helps solve all three. MT. Hemenway points ont Ut is no exasgeration to say that the war gardens in Europe have in the case of Germany, for instance, pulled her through two summers and that she would probably not have been able to pull through if it had not been for her war gardens. In the largest cities of Germany as much as 25 or a0 per cent. of the food consumption of those people during those months was fresh vegetables, largely relieving the cereal situation.
 Detailed information concerning the acute food situation in England and France has been given in a statement made hy Major Howard X Giddings, q member uf the Connecticut State Council of Defense, who returned to Hartford last week after an official trip to France as member of the Liberty Loan Mission Major Giddings left France after the present offensive had begun. He represented tho state defense council and Governor Marcus II. Holcomb on his journey, "Only two ounces of meat four times a week is the allowance given the people in England" said Major Gitdings Meat is sold or served only upon presentation of a meat card Travellers and guests at hotels must have cards and anyone attending a dinner or banquet where meat is served must take his meat card with him. The fOod situation in England is much more serious than America realizes. France has plenty of meat, hut suffers from restriction on other foods. Both countries are on rigid war bread basis Butter and sugar are never seen in the best hotels and restaurants in London. Eggs are plentiful in England, but they cost S1 5O dozen. In spite of the alarming shortage in food and the consequent sacrifices demanded of the people of England anu France, Major Giddings says he found them cheerful and confident. Their morale is splendid. He and the other members of the Liberty Loan mission are con- yinced that the plight of America 8 Allies is not realized by the American people. America, in their opinion, must wake up to the need for haste, particularly in building ships.

! Rather strange disappearance OF 3
total OF 1928 from a private locker at
| Bayview Wednesday night was being
/ investigated from every angle yester-
| day, city and county officials taking up
and running down every clue which
| was offered. In the work they had
the very able cooperation OF the man
agement at Bayview and there Will
likely be ~ interesting announcement

derstood the officers were working on
a hot" clue last night.
While 1t was SO stated at the first
announcement, 1t might be repeated
here for the benefit of the hundreds
who will likely patronize the resort
| today, that the money was distracted
from the clothing or one OF VIE young
! men to whom the entire amount had
been entrusted, and that IL was stolen
from the dressing room. This State

those who today might fail to lefve
valuables In the Office with the man
agement.
One of the youths spent yesterday In
the city Jail, and was marked on the
blotter for investigation" That was
the extent OF the information which
was made public about him to in
quirers. Just why he had been de-
tanned was not even announced after
he had been given a thorough "shak-
ing down" by the officers.
Those who patr0nize the park today
should exercise forethought and leave
any and all valuables with the manage
ment, and it is safe to. say that the
appearance of risk will then have been
avoided. There is a very careful check
ing system inaugurated at the park
now, anu personal attention WIN be
given every patron at the managers

Baby's Sore Eyes

No infantile affection should be taken
in hand more quickly and treated more
carefully than baby's sore eyes. Babies
so often are born that way and neglect
may mean blindness for life. The
nursery outfit Of every baby with sore
eyes should include bottle of Hol-
ian's Eye Water, which will relieve
the worst case Of ophthalmia or in
feeted sore eyes in twenty -four to
forty-eight hours. Hollan's Eye Water
is 25c a bottle and a glass eye wafer
dropper is furnished free with each
bottle. This remedy for weak, inflamed
or sore eyes is perfectly safe and alb
solutely painless. 1t may be used full
strength in the eyes of infants with
out the least danger or sense OF pain.
II your druggist cannot supply Hol-
lan's Eye Water, do not accepts any
substitute. but ask him to order HoI-
lan's Eye Water for you.-Adv.
