The dinner was considered a great

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am 16 and am considered good
looking and can converse wel. l am
working as bookkeeper and typist at
ipresent in a downtown office, making
s14 per week.
l am under the impression that well
as the rich girl is, I am daughter
of God, just as well as the rich girl
is. l am not poor, but at the same
time I am not rich. We (our family
have enough to eat ane clothe our
selves, but we haven't enough to have
anything luxurious. 1t is always my
wish to meet some rich young boys
and girls Now please tell me how l
. can do this. I have one rich uncle,
and he thinks he is different because
he has more money.
K.
Your trouble is easy to diagnose
You are snob! OF course, you are
a daughter of God as we'll as are the
wealthy. but so are the other people
in moderate circumstances away from
whom you wish to climb. Suppose
, you work. work hard, try to improve
yourself and to learn to love beauty
and character instead of money. Com
ing in contact with rich people won't
bring you one thing, because just now
you can only attract secondrate. medi-
| ocre people. Make yourself first class.
Study and improve your mind. Do a
bit of war work. Try to get on in
your office and don't condemn your
self to the ugly poverty of ignorance
| and snobbery.

West Point Has Makngs of Strong Team

The Army has the makings of one of the strongest gridiron combina- tions that ever represented the Mili- tary Academy. All but two of last seasons regulars are still at the Plains and to replace the missing ones the Cadets have a pair of sea- soned performers who would be stars of the first magnitude on any mans team. With regular practice and proper coaching, Vidars aggregation could be molded into an eleven of real championship calibre.
 It is scarcely probable, however, that the Cadet ensemble will employ either of these indispensable requi- sites. Last week. for instance, the team had only blackboard drill, and conditions in this respect are not like ly to improve until after the first cf November. Other years the squad has been granted certain little con- sessions which enabled it to get any where from 45 to 60 minutes of real practice every day; this fall it hasn't even a training table.
 Something of a pity this, for the material is there for a really great eleven. With six of last years reg ularh still available and big "Bull'' de Graf to replace Knight at tackle, the line is even stronger than it was a year ago, and the backfeld. once it is properly organized, will suffer little, if any, in comparison with the 1917 quartet Elmer Oliphant is now in service-and making a fine offfcer-but in his stead the Cadets have Mo Quarrie, for two years captain of the University of Montana, and Gene Vidal himself a star only less brilliant than Oliphant, is still on hand.

MARKET NEWS SERVICE
 FOR THIS SECTION

The food departments newly ap- pointed committee on marketing held it's initial meeting in Hartford on Wednesday. The committee promptly passed a resolution to be forwarded by Richard E. Dodge of Storrs. to the hulNaau of markets in Washington making formal application for semi weekly market news service In the cities of Norwich, New London, Put nam, Danielson and Willimantic. The basis for this application which will be urged both by the food department and the agricultural college is the success of the market news service that was established this last sum- mer in Hartford, New Haven. Water bury and Bridgeport.
 Chairman George NJ. Landers of the food department, in addressing the committee said that a lot of miscella- neous unassorted farm produce was not marketable and that it did not really become merchandise until it was graded and packed to conform to the market requirements for each particular commodity. The commit tee readily accepted MT. Landers' sug- gestion that standardization of farm Troducts and of containers was one of theiE big problems. Senator Elijah RoSefS Ol ooulHlHS kon pointed out the desirability of having uniform grading laws in New England. Stand
 ardization, however, should include not merely marketing of a given pro- duct but should go back of this to eliminate production of a large num-
 Der of varieties of goods in one small community Potatoes from any par ticular town, for instance, could he
 sold to much better advantage if they
 were all the same kind. rather thar
 if each farmer should grow a different variety.
 Another factor in standardization that was considered by the committee l is the amount of any one crop that is
 grown each year. Both the marketing problem and farm manaSement art made more difficult when everyone
 grows all strawberries or all potatoes one year and none of these crops tht | following year. Each crop should 1 have it's place in a definite rotation
 aEd thus buyers would know ahou what volume of any given crop migh
 be expected each year in each com munity.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
 CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain
 How To Treat.

Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion. soUrness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc, are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining. is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the
 Asagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well.
 Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful. in quarter, glass of water right after eating. This sweet ems the stomach. prevents the forma- tion of excess acid and there is no sourness. gas or pain. Bisurated Mag nesia Gin powder or tablet form-never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach. inexpensive to take and, is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indiges- ton.
