CHILD WELFARE WORK
 IN GRAPHIC FORM
Exhibit in Main Street Store Win dows DiseToses Interesting Facts.

The weighing and measuring tests in the child welfare campaign will be held on Saturday at the same places as last with the addition of Broad way, Greeneville and High street schools. At Broadway the tests and registration will be held from to 12 in the morning and Dr. Hugh B. Campbell will be the examining phy- sician assisted by the district nurse, Miss Culver. and Miss Curtis, Miss Tracy, Mrs. Selden. Mrs. Desmond and Miss Datri.
 At the Greeneville school, 2-6 D. m., assisted by Miss Mackenzie, Miss Corcoran, Miss Congdon and Mrs. Moriarty.
 At High street school. s-12 a. m. Dr. Louis T. Cassidy will examine the children and he will be assisted by Miss Albertine, Mrs. Rosenberg, Miss Adams and Mrs, H. E. Higgins. It is expected that fully as large number of children will be registered this Sat urday as there was last when the to- tai was 345.
 In connection with this campaign an interesting and instructive exhibit is arranged by Morgan Cronin in the window of the Plaut- Cadden building c of posters concerning the subject of child care which have been secured 1 by Dr. E. J. Brophy. Another inter- esting subject shown is the simple meals for children from the ages of one and one-half years to six. The overfeeding of children is one of the 1 primary causes for i'll health and l causes many preventable deaths An 1 other essential besides that of proper feeding is that of prompt and proper care of the sick child. and the child i who has met with an accident. Miss Dorothy Jones has prepared a number of simple medicines and drugs that should be in every home where there are children. The prompt application i of a little vaselines after burn and
 various other simple remedies often
 save lives and large doctor bills. Of
 course if 9 child is feverish, or in pain,
 or has diarrhea a physician should be called.
 The map compiled from the vital
 statistics by Mrs. John Huntington and
 Miss Winifred Welles relating with
 great clearness the history of thc
 child life of Norwich from May 1, 1917 to May 1. 1918. is Interesting. The 1 black. red green and yellow dots tell 1 the story of birth, still birth. deaths kpreventable and deaths unavoidable of the children of our city for one year Upon study of this map one will note that many preventable deaths occur at the Backus hospital. The eonclu : sion that the children are not well cared for at the Backus hospital is wholly unfounded The cause of this
 great percentage of deaths is that
 children who have been burned, scala
 ed, or neglected at home are rushed
 off 10 the hospital too late to be bene-
 fited by the treatment that given z
 little earlier would have saved the
 ehild's life. or in many cases had ths

THREE WERE FINED
Over Midnight Trouble in House on
 Sunnyside Avenue.

In the police court on Wednesday morning Irving A. Kelly of Sunnyside avenue was fined $10 and costs for beach of the peace, his wife, Henri etta, $25 and costs for harboring a female for immoral purposes, and their daughter, Mrs. Mary L. Galotios, $25 and costs for being a lewd person. The whole amounted to $8430, which they paid.
 The testimony against them was given by sailor who met the daugh ter on Franklin square on Tuesday evening, took her to the entertainment at the battle-ground. and then went to the Kelly home. Here he claimed he paid Mrs. Kelly S1 for a room for the night and paid the daughter $5.
 He was not satisfied to stay after he had been there a short time, he said, and demanded his money back. This started trouble, and Kelly fired off a revolver at him.
 Mrs. Kelly claimed she took the $1 for the room because the sailor insist ed on it, and MT. Kelly claimed that he only fired the pistol in the air to get rid of the sailor when his wife wanted the man driven away because he made insulting remarks about the family.
 The sailor claimed in court that he made the complaint against the family largely to protect other navy men.

HOME GARDENERS GOT TWO
 SPRAYING DEMONSTRATIONS
One on Potato Plants-Other in Hail
 and Rain Storm.

A. M. Codding, special field agent in entomology at Storrs Agricultural col lege, and home garden supervisor Charles A. Hagberg, conducted a spraying demonstration for number of home gardeners on Wednesday ev- ening at 6.30 on the Trading Cove garden plot.
 Just about as the demonstration was over the weather man sent along an comparable. spraying demonstration in the form of a sudden hail and rain storm that drove the home gardeners to cover.
 Mir. Codding and MT Hagberg show ed how the sprayer could be used in order best to get at the insect pests, Illustrating on row of potato plants, MT. Codding gave the general advice to spray early and often as a pre- ventive, mentioning that arsenate of lead would be effective against all sorts of insects that eat the leaves ex- cept the aphis, or lous, against which the nicotine treatment would have 70 be used. This would probably not be necessary till later in the season and might not be needed at all.
 The agent from Storrs expressed admiration of the way the gardens On the plot looked, remarking on the clean way in which they were kept so that not even a loose stick could be picket up just at that particular garden when he wanted stick to stir un some of the poison solution for the spray.

Coal Economyin EasyLessons

Here is seasonable hint that anyone can
understand, especially with bleak autumn wind
chasing the shivers up and down his spine to
give it emphasis. The New York district fuel
administrator gives especial force to his argu-
ment by pointing out that clean furnace will
work saving to the owners pocketbook Here
IS "a sample of the direct approach to the house
holders interest:
Zone one-hundredth of an inch of SCOT has
the same power to resist heat as 10 inches of
iron"
Y This is but one of the pertinent hints The
kst OF the communication is rich in information
1t the individual owner of furnace will ap-
eclate. They are worth repeating:
Care for your own heater this winter.
Storm windows and storm DOORS weather
strips. and such protective devices are econom-
cal Of heat.
Draw bucketful of dirty water from the
pttom Of the boiler at least twice week and
again.
Avoid too much shaking. Live Goals in the
il pit mean wasted fuel
Stoke frequently and in small amounts.
Never shake low fire until a little fresh
has been added and given time to ignite.
Keep q pan or kettle of water always on

Who BUYS Liberty Bonds.

The question, "Are the Liberty bonds popu-
lar?" may be answered in the affirmative. When
the first loan was foated the conditions were
such as did not especially attract small invest
ors who held aloof to a considerable degree
and yet the $2,000,0000O0 was distributed among
100000 subscribers. When the second issue
was offered people seemed to have clearer
understanding of what was involved, and $685.
736,5O0 was taken by 100000 subscribers,
while for the third issue 18,30S325 purchasers
bought $4,l76,5l6850 of the bonds. More than
three times as many citizens went into the loan
on the third offer and gave more than twice as
much money as was realized by the first. This
indicates that the bonds have been taken up by
small investors, by people who can only take in
the $50 and $500 denominations. No more
favorable sign could be asked for the success
of the fourth loan. In no better way can the
people support the cause to which they have
devoted their all. And when peace comes again
the bond issues will not be found in the hands
of great syndicates and corporations, but will
be distributed among the commoners OF the
country

John ireland.

A truly good man is gone, and Americans
regardless of creed or quality, will mourn for
the death Of John ireland. Dignitary of the
great Roman Catholic church, prelate of dis
tinction and honorable attainments, he was first
of all a citizen of his adopted country. John
Ireland went through the War of the Rebellion
as the young chaplain of regiment of Mime
sofa volunteers, and no sacerdotal insignia ever
after bestowed on him meant as much as the
Grand Army button he wore so proudly. Zeal
GUS always in the cause of religion, he showed
equal, if not greater, zeal in his work for civic
betterment. A champion of liberty, his advo-
cacy of the free school, efforts to secure the
spread Of enlightenment labors for the recon-
citation of religion with the spirit of the age in
which he lived, his simplicity of life and un-
swerving devotion to the cause of purity,
brought to him such activity that it has been
said his life was as busy as the pope's and as
stormy as statesman's." John Ireland had
many worldly honors as we'll as those bestowed
upon him by the church, but none fitted him so
we'll as the sobriquet given him in France few
years ago, that of "the peoples pope"

State Press Comments

Gothenburg Independent: Don't
forget to put little sugar in one end
of your spectacle case when you go
to that fair or Ak-Sar Ben. You
could put in the corner of your eye
all that the walters will serve you,
and nothing is sweet away from
home.
Fairbury News: Certainly the
pendulum of adversely has swung
to the limit in the adverse direction,
and in that case we may expect one
of those good d-fashioned bounti-
full harvests next year. We are al
ways hopeful-that is one of the
crops that never fail in Nebraska.
Harrington Herald; Here's good
typographical error that ought to be
let stand. A soldier writing home
to his mother says, Germany will
be Logging for peace by Christmas"
He probably meant to say, begging
for peace" but Logging for peace is
good; in fact, that is what the en-
envy is doing right now.

soldiers marry French girls? They
certainly will. according to a woman
correspondent, because American
