REAPPOlNTED HUMANE AGENT Dr. Charles H. Lamb Has Been in
 Active Service For Twenty eight Years.

Dr. Charles H. Lamb has received notice of his reappointment as an agent of the Connecticut Humane So- ciety. The reappointment is for a three year term, Dec. 1, 1917 to Dec. l. 1920
 Dr. Lamb is one of the oldest agents
 in the state. He was appointed Dec.
 B., 1889. and has been in active ser
 vice for twenty eight years. He holds
 his first certificate signed by the so-
 ciety's first president, the late Rodney Dennis. The appointment was never
 renewed, but run as long as Mir. Den
 Eis was at the head though an agent s commission could be revoked at any
 time. For. a number of years since William De Loss Love has been presi- dent, three year commissions have been issued to it's agents throughout the state, to remain in force that length of time unless revoked giving them the authority to serve in their capacity anywhere within the limits of the state.
 The society receives many complaints of the abuse of horses by young and untaught drivers on delivery wagons Such cruelty works against a mer- chants own interests! It awakens un- necessary criticism on the part of the public, which sees it. It is bad ad- eertisement for the firm. displeases patrons, and sometimes loses trade. Il l injures and often ruins valuable l horses. It encourages the driver ir l cruel habits, which affect his charac- 1 ter and impair his value to the busi- ness.
 1 Some boys are too young and are | unfit for employment as drivers. AT l inexperienced ones should be instruct. ] ed by an employer or competent sta l bleman. Attention to this matter vii tsave driver and horse.
 l A few cold weather suggestions fol the treatment of horses follow:
 | Warm the bits a little on freezing
 mornings. Take the chill off the watel he drinks. Be careful about exposing | him when overheated. Blanket hin when he stands in the cold. Hay. his shoes sharpened when the street! are slippery. Take no risks of injury mornings carry some sand for emer blocks the streets. Do little shov cling and help your horse. Attemp no hard pulls up. steep or slippery in clines. Horses draw and keep thei balance better unchecked Give hin frequent rests on snowy roads. Hell fyour horse with a little axle grease Rub him down when he comes in wei
 Feed carefully and well during tn
 winter. Blanket and bed him suffi
 ciertly on cold nights. Send for veterinarian before it is too late. Kee' tyour tenper and save your horse.

TRAPPED BY FLAMES P.
 ON THE THIRD STORY
Two Men Taken From Burning Build. ing on Main Street ata2.40 o'ctoct
 This Morning. Y z6 sFht-t&

His head, face and one arm were badly cut. Police officers and bystanders carried the suffering man in Vellis' lunch room. "

 Main street he saw the three-story | wooden building at 256 Main street in | flames and pulled in box 23, just across the street from the burning building. 1 The auto bumper, aerial truck, West 1 Side chemical and Main street auto l responded. A half dozen lines of hose | were quickly laid and as many streams
 were soon pouring into the building. When the firemen arrived on the scene the two merls were seen hanging | from third story window An ex- tension ladder was run LID the side of the building and Martin Danihy climbed down to the sidewalk, reach ing safety in an exhausted condition
 Carbray was unable to get out of the
 window and fireman went up for
 him. He succeeded in getting the 1 cripple down to the second story but
 was unable to hold him and the un-
 fortunate man fell to the sidewalk. His i injuries are considered serious.

BUY BY WEIGHT, -.... ,.-
 SAYS LOCAL SEALER
Fred G. Prothsro Offers Few Sug
 gestions to the Public.

Fred G. Prothero, the local sealer of weights and measures, offers the following suggestions to the buying public of Norwich:
 Safety first: Buy by weight. .' Insist upon seeing the weight of your purchase before the goods are wrap ped up.
 Insist upon butter, lard, etc., being full weight without carrier.
 Dial scales when empty should stand with pointer at zero.
 If you order by measure, do not ex- pect weight and measure to corre- spond, as commodities vary. Weight or measure is legal in Connecticut.
 See that tn ecoal put in your bin by chute averages about 35 cubic feet to the ton. If delivered by basket, ask your dealer whether it is an S7 pound or 010 pound basket. Then count them
 Do not condemn the dealer on bear say. Honest merchants welcome in- te!ligert consumers. Speed and carss- lessness cause short weight more ofter than intentional dishonesty. %
