FRESH AIR KIDDIES
 COMING ON JULY 22d Homes Should be Opened to Give Youngsters a
 Vacation

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is
 again asking the residents of this town to give vacations to number
 of children who live in New York.
 This plan was tried out for the first time here last year, with the result that the hearts and homes of many fathers and mothers, were opened to
 youngsters who had never before seen the beauties of rural life.
 The following committee of local men and women have resolved them selves into a permanent committee to look after the interests of the Fund in this community:
 Rev. A. M. Griffin, Sec.-Treas.,
 Rev. F. H. Neal, Pres, Rev. R. M.
 Timberlake, Miss M. Collins, Mrs.
 H. E. Lyles, Miss E. Considine, Mrs. IJ. G. Adam, Com. (finance, Mrs. J.
 H. Roraback Con-, Miss M. M. Peirce,
 Mrs. J. L. Parsons Con-, Miss C..
 Roraback, Mrs. F. F. Stevens, Mrs. N. L. Jackson, Miss Mabel Quinn,
 Mrs. Geo. Ford, Mrs. Geo. Fuller,
 Mrs. J. Root.
 The plan is to place a child or two in private homes for two weeks, be-
 ginning on July 22. The board is furnished gratis by those taking the children. The transportation is paid and the children come with two weeks supply of clothing.
 Each child is given bath and a physical examination within 24 hours
 of leaving New York city, and it is definitely ascertained that they have mot been exposed to any contagious diseases. Convalescents and chil- dren who have been exposed to dis
 ease are sent to one of the 15 homes maintained by the Tribune. ". The children are sent on the rec ommendation of day nurseries, well fare boards, churches, schools, etc
 and the homes of every child is in vestigated, and the child has to be by the social worker. Those who decide to act as hos tesses to the children may have their choice of children, that is they may signify the age, sex, creed or nation ality of the child. It is also ascer- tained that none of the children have
 been previously sent away by any other organization the same year.
 fss There are 100000 children in New
 York's lower quarter who never have a vacation, who are deprived of the joys of the great out of doors and who must play amidst the traffic of
 crowded thoroughfares. New, York city is the gateway to America,
 through which pass the foreigners who must sometime be absorbed in all parts of the country. To provide "a two weeks vacation for some iyoungster is indeed worthy charity, and it is believed that there will be no great difficulty in placing several children in Canaan.
 People who do not feel able to
 take. children may contribute toward their board in family who feel they cannot afford to take the child with out reimbursement. Every contri- button goes toward a vacation, and not one cent goes into administrative expense.

CURTISS IS JAILED
Discharged on One Charge and Re-
 arrested on Another

Judge Kellogg in the superior court at Winsted Thursday sustained the demurrer by Attorney Thomas J. Wall in the case of E. W. Curtiss, who was charged with contempt of court, and ordered that Curtiss be discharged. The, state attorney, Walter Holcomb, immediately moved that Curtiss be arrested on a new warrant charging criminal libel. This motion was granted. Curtiss was taken back to Litchfeld jail His case will come up at the October term.
 Attorney Walls demurrer was based on the ground that the alleged contempt of court with which Curtiss was charged, was not criminal of fense but violation of a section of old English common law. The argu- ments on the demurrer were heard about week ago decision being re- served until Thursday. The case, because of the many unusual points raised, attracted no little attention amnog lawyers in this part of the state.
 Curtiss, it is alleged, had disobey- ed an order of the court, in connec- tion with his divorce action, to return his child to it's mother. It was also alleged that he circulated a pamphlet containing remarks derogatory to the judge, the state attorney, Lawyer Herman and others. The new charge of libel is based on the allegation that Curtiss prepared and circulated copies of this pamphlet. Curtiss was brought to this state from New York after a bitter fight against extradi- tion. .

EASY VICTORY FOR
 THE CANAAN NINE Defeat Falls Village Team by Score of
 IS to 4

The Falls Village team met defeat at the hands of the local nine before a good sized crowd last Saturday afternoon. Coulter, "a New York state twirler of merit, pitched for the visitors. and but for the poor support given him, the score might have been smaller. F. Ferguson, catcher for the visitors, also did good work, while several other members of that team who played excellent ball ten years ago, realized that their best days had passed.
 The Canaan team has secured Howard Selleck, the crack Yale pitcher, to perform on the mound for the remainder of the season and it is now hoped that games can be secured with faster teams than have been met and defeated. To date the local nine has lost but two games out of six, both games lost being princi- pally because of lack of pitcher.
 Selleck's pitching on Saturday, while beyond reproach, did not show what he really could do except when two men were on bases, when he immediately put the batters out in short order. Due to the fact that one or two changes are contemplated and men were thus placed in unac- customed positions, more errors were made than usual.
 The entire team played for the first time in their new uniforms and made fine appearance. A number of business men and one business woman contributed half of the amount necessary to buy these uni forms and other equipment, and to these the manager and all members of the team extend their thanks and appreciation. .-. s. t.....z.

National Sweeper Representatives
 Visit Twin Lakes

The salesmen of the National Sweeper division of the Torrington Company, who held their annual meeting, held picnic at Twin Lakes last week. There were 22 in the party representing the sales offices in all sections of the company. An excel lent dinner and supper prepared by John Raynor, steward of the Torring- ton Club was served.
 The prize for catching the biggest fish was awarded to c. W. Dimmock of Boston, who landed lake trout weighing 37s pounds. The prize for the smallest fish went to E. Frost Knapp, whose catch was too small to move the pointer on the scale. One of the expert mathematicians in the party estimated the weight at half an ounce.

Confetti Covered
Couples Cannot Be
Wed IN His Church

Marypord Eng, Dee. 2,-The
Vicar of the parish here, the Rev
]. A. Richards, strongly disap-
proves of persons showering con-
fetti on bridal parties when they
are entering the church to be mar
ried. Writing in his parish maya
zine he saws:
"All right thinking people must
realize how unseemly it is for q
couple to stand before the alter or
their wedding day literally dripping
with confetti. The practice is also
unkind. The wedding day is a great
event in a girls life. Much time
and money have been expended on
costumes. The bride and brides
maids take a pride in looking al
their best, and it is abominable that
vulgar, brainless people should be
allowed to smother them with con-
fetti.
Strong measures. the Vicar adds,
Should be taken to. put this down
and we wish to give notice that peo-
pie covered with confetti will not
be allowed to enter st. Mary's
Church. They will have to come
to church in a decent and fitting
condition before the ceremony can
proceed" t. t

Public Service
Hears Pittsburgh Case

Public Service Commissioners sat
to-day for the final argument in the
complaints against the Pittsburgh
Railways Company, litigation which
began in the spring of 1917 and on
which there have been numerous
hearings and a valuation of the
properties of the company by five
different sets, of experts. The argu-
ment began late yesterday afternoon
and was continued this morning. 1t
may be weeks before the Commission
reaches q decision.
A. w. Robertson, who opened for
the company, contended that the
reproduction cost at present prices
as agreed upon would be $102,000,-
900, while George A. Alter, the sec
ond speaker for the company, said
that taking figures of the complain
ants the fares were not as high as
justified. Even if the valuation was
as low as $4S,000,000. as some want
ed to make it, he asserted that the
agreed upon annua expenditure, eX-
| elusive of the wage increase would
be more than $14,500,000 and the
| wage increase was estimated at a
million dollars more. This would
make nearly $16.000,000. If the
rate of return should be per cent
it would make over three millions
more or an annual charge of $1S,-
| 400, 900. The best estimate of 1920
revenues he said were around ST.
100000. He said that there was no
complaint now against service

for the city, declared that the public
should not be forced to pay for

Help Relieve Yourself
of lndi9estionH
Cas:.Etc.. by Eating
Physician tells how-H three meals day distresse,
you take five meals day to get rid of your troubles
The "Food Treatment" for dyspeptics often gives
most surprising results in a few days time.

The real and true relief for most stomach
troubles must be found in the proper chem
zeal combinations of foods, the quantity
eaten and the methods of eating. and not in
strong drugs nor starvation diets-which
diets often only further weaken the stom-
ach and impair the digestion by weakening
the whoN system on account of depriving
1t of propSr nutrition.
Most people foolishly seem TO pay but
little attention to excess acid gas and food
fermentation until it gets quite bad then
they usually take some drug merely to
neutralize the acid and give temporary re-
lief, but they do not reach the cause. The
victim continues to suffer on frequent occa-
sions until the disease finally becomes
chronic. The walls of the stomach and in
testines become highly infamed and what
was first a simple irritation now develops
into gastric catarrh and finally, perhaps, into
stomach ulcer. A highly inflamed irri-
table stomach is good deal like sore on
your finger, if you keep rubbing and irrita-
ting it. it may never get well. Every time
your food ferments and excess acid and gas
forms, it only further irritates your already
weak, sore and irritated stomach walls.
To bring about relief you must avoid
food fermentation and the consequent con-
slant irritation it produces. 1t is often not
so much what you eat that does damage as

very bad breakfast from the standpoint of

port freight over distances which
the hydroairplanes can cover in as
many hours, with always large
stretches of smooth water offering
suitable surface for landings and
"take-offs."
The freight charges are said to be
high, and the traffic is expected to
consist mainly of gold, ba1ato and
essence of rosewood-which are the
principal exports of the colony. The
passenger business is not expected
to be heavy.
These hydroairplanes will also be
used for prospecting the forests for
balato trees, which grow in groups,
so that the foliage can, it is said,
be readily distinguished by aviators
flying low over the tops of the forest
trees. In the past the securing of
fresh sources of balato has been a
work of much danger and difficulty.
Specially trained balato workers,
well armed, travelling in bands of
Is or 20, have been employed to
explore the forests and they had to
carry with them supplies to cover
many months.

ARPLANES FOR

Brazilian Government May
Apply Them For a
Survey

Para, Brazil, Dec. 2. - Airplanes
may be employed to map the valley
of the great Amazon river. If the
French are successful in their effort
to use aircraft for surveying the
routes of the rivers of French Gui-
ana, it is understood the Brazilian
government will apply the same
method to the survey of the Amazon
and its affluents.
A French company is said to have
been formed in Cayenne, with hang
ars on the Maroni river, and French
aviators with flying experience gain
ed in the war are being employed
TO run the twenty-five hydroair-
planes said to have been furnished
by the government.
In addition to making maps the
machines will be employed for
carrying valuable freight, mails and
passengers. There are immense riv-
ers in French Guiana which, be-
cause of the presence of many

American Soldiers Are

this particular trade, it is charged
that the soldiers at times become
