Little Old Man Could Not Tell Where He Lived.

A little, shriveled, dejected old man
 poorly clad and apparently dazed, whether from over indulgence or from other causes, was a picture to cause sympathy in the business section of the city Thursday afternoon. A kind ly woman who went to help him found that he had roll of money in his hand, upwards of $50. and that he had dropped more on the sidewalk. He said
 he did not live in the city, but was unable to tell where his home was The case was reported to the police More coal-or No Trolley Service.

FUEL ADMINISTRATORS
Coal Should Be Used as Economically as Possible This Month.

Charles E.. Dean. fuel administrator for the towns of Putnam, Woodstock and Thompson, has issued a statement in which he admonishes everyone to use coal as economically as possible.
 Putnam is one of the most favored Cities in Connecticut as regards the amount of coal on fand but the supply is not 50 great but that ten days to two weeks more of steady cold weather Will exhaust it. and if more coal can not be obtained in the meantime the city will be in the midst of a coal famine, so far as the ability of the yards to supply demand is concerned
 The tags that were issued this week to De tied to coal shovels should be an ever- present reminder that care and skill and good judgment be used 6y every person ir using up the SUD- ply focal that is on Shand here.
 some families have an ample supply for the remainder of the cold weather period. but this is true only in com paratively small percentage of cases in Putnam. and the time may come when division of supplies with less fortunate residents may have to be re- sorted to, although it is to be hoped that such a contingency can be avoid ed.
 Danielson and other towns near here have no coal at al! for sale and the conditions being faced in these places may soon apply to Putnam
 February is apt to bring some of the toughest weather of the winter, so toe much care cannot be exercised in hoardins coal and using it sparingN w. c. T. u. Officers.

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
 at the Cause and Remove It

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the suhsti. tute for calonel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar. coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, siekening, griping cathartics are derived from pr. Edwards Olive Tablets without gripine, pain or any diseTecable effects.
 Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac. tice among {, patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath. : Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil: you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for week and note the effect. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

ZINC WINS PLACE
IN WORLD MARKET

With an enormous strain on the
supply Of non-ferrous metals 10 meet
present requirements, especially tin
plate and aluminium, zinc is now as
suming greater Importance in the in
'dustrial world than ever before. Ex-
periments recently have brought to
light that rolled zinc particularly en-
bodies qualities that foretell its con-
stantly increasing use both at present
and after the war.
Manufacturers for some time have
been urged as a patriotic necessity
20 use metals other than tinplate and
aluminium in the production of GER
tain commodities. AS a result, a
Make it of zinc" slogan was adopted.
That this has become a fixed habit
with numerous metal manufacturers
is seen from a new list of zinc prod
ucts which has been compiled. Such
things as pencil tips. shaving soap
containers, trouser buttons, bottle
covers, boxes and Innings. addressing
plates stencils and scores of others
are the outgrowth of this campaign
The new practice has brought the
aid asked by the Government in con-
serving timed iron and in supplying
material to industries which were al
most cut of from tin and aluminium
by the falling of of imports due to
abnormal shipping conditions.

TRADE PLOT CHARGED

Formal complaint against the Bal
timore Hub-WheeI and Manufsctur-
ing Company and the HoIland-Baden-
Ramsey Company, Baltimore, was
made today by the Federal Trade
Commission. The charge is conspir-
ing to hamper and obstruct COM
petitors." Both companies deal in
automobile accessories.
The complaint changes that for
two years these companies have
sought to induce and compel manu-
facturers to refuse to recognize GER
tain of their competitors as jobbers
and wholesalers. This has forced
such competitors to buy their acces.
series at higher prices. the complaint
alleges.
The concerns were cited to appear
before the commission at Washington
on November 20.

HARDWARE CLERKS
USEFUL ON FARMS

Hardware dealers and clerks make
good farm hands. This tip to the
farmer in search of help is furnished
by the farm division of the United
States Employment Service.
The man who works in a hardware
store knows more about farm machin-
cry. from a hoe to a tractor. than any
body else the farmer can get hold of
il he has to hunt for unskilled labor.
The hardware man generally has
worked long hours. He is used to
dirty hands and work clothes.
He probably has some muscle. be-
cause he is used to handling heavy
things. II he is one of the millions
OF town and city men who grew up
on a farm he already knows some
thing about crops and stock. The
most important thing to be done to
make him a good farm hand, reports
from different localities show, is to
convince him that his country needs
him on the farm as his war'servies.
