The MilIionaire,s Little Joke.

The millionaire was discussing with
his gardeners the plans for his new
grounds.
"On these terraces" he said, brush
ing aside his tie, because it hid a dia-
mond stud, "we'n have five thousand
weeping willows"
s'Have you any preference as to how
they shall be arranged?" asked the
head gardener.
"There is only one way in which to
plant weeping willows" said the merry
plutocrat, "and that is in tiers"
Three gardeners tainted away, a

Electric WeIdjno.

Three methods of electric welding
are now generally employed. In "spot"
welding the metals are placed in con-
tact and an electric current is sent be-
tween them in "seam" or Zine" weld

trodes are used, and in the carbon
arc" process-in which an iron pencil
has replaced the carbon rod-the metal
is melted by the electric arc. In Ship

80 per cent of that of the solid plates.

While excessive thinness might be at

that the lack of sufficient PHOSPHORUS in
the human system is very largely respon-
sible for this condition. Experiments on

doubt that body deficient in PHOSPHORUS

author and professor in his book, Chem

says: "* that the amount of phos-
Of man is seriously underestimate in many
of our standard text books"
It seems to be well established that this

throughout English speaking countries as

MATTRESSES STRIKE.
 DEMANDING MORE PAY
Choose Noon Hour in Which to Make Demands-Accused By Employer
 of Stealing Menu Cards.

Four pretty waitresses employed at the Asia restaurant on Main street, of which Chung Ben is proprietor, went on strike this noon. The girls de- manded an increase in pay. The str4ik- CTS claim that at the present time they are receiving $6 per week, including their meals. Until a few weeks ago the Waitresses declare they were paid S8 per week, but their salaries were reduced instead of raised.
 The girls chose the busy noon day hour to strike. When the restaurant was filled with hungry employees from the factories, the waitresses gathered up their belongings and walked out.
 A scene was caused on Main street a few minutes later. when Chung Ben. accused the young ladies of having taken the menu cards. The girls em- phaticalIy denied the accusations.
 A number of patrons left the place going to nearby places to satisfy their hunger. The cooks were detailed as walters and a number of patrons served themselves.
 The Waitresses declare that they will not return to work until their wages are increased to $S. With the high cost of living it is impossible for us to get along on $6," said one of the girls. After paying my room rent and buying some clothes I haven't got enough money left to buy some gum with"

 Tt affects Anglo American relations no more than if the house of lords were to recommend that the peace conference receive a delegation from the Philippines to hear the reasons why their aspirations for freedom from American control should not be realized, or a delegation from Porto Rico with a similar mission"

NEWSPAPERMAN HAS
 FULL TREATY TEXT
Chicago Tribune Man Has Copy, Which is Being Sold to Various
 Newspapers.

New York, June 9.-The full text of the treaty of peace with the Central powers, which has been the subject of discussion in the senate for a week or more, has been brought to this cOun- try by Frazier Hunt, a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune and is being syndicated to newspapers in this cOun- try in copyrighted sections. The first section appeared today.
 He says the copy of the treaty which he brought here is one of the original drafts and was obtained in Paris. It was printed in French and Ehglish, is contained in 416 pages and runs about 5000 words. He says it is quite easy to obtain German translations of the treaty in Germany and neutral countries, but these have omissions and are without the maps which his original draft copy con- tains
 The summary of the treaty as pre- viously published in this country, he states, substantially carries the inn portant points of the full treaty and only in a few places are there omis- sions. These, he says, occur in the section relating to the Sarre valley and in reference to the international labor organization.
 Another American correspondent abroad also secured and mailed a full copy of the treaty but the British cen- sor held it up, according to a state ment published in the newspaper to- day which he represents. A com plaint in the matter will be officially made today, the paper says, to the foreign relations committee of the senate

 Bethel, June 9.-A new phase of one of the saddest tragedies that oc- cured Tn Connecticut during the war developed here today when Private Henry Bromley, of the 327th infan- try who was officially reported dead on October 16, 1918, returned to his home here. When the official telegram informing Private BromIey's family that he had been killed in action in France was delivered at the Bromley home last October the soldiers mother, Mrs Henry Bromley, Sr, was attending a theater. She was handed the message upon her return and after reading it stepped into an ad- joining room and drank poison, dying within a few minutes. The boy was her only son and she had been under a severe nervous strain through her anxiety in regard to his safety
 Cannot Explain Actions.
 Private Bromley is apparently suf- fering either from the shock caused by the news of his mot1.er's death or from an injury received in war, and has been unable to tell of his experiences. He arrived in this coun- try from France in February and learned about his mothers death soon after landing in New York He re- mained in New York several weeks and subsequently, went to Stamford but for some reason he is unable to explain, did not return home. He ar rived in Bethel Saturday apparently dazed, he denied his identity when recognized by acquaint2nces on the streets here and said his name was "Reddy," but his father completed the Identification today.
 It is probable that some other soldier was identified and buried as Bromley.
 Private Bromley speaks vaguely of having been confined ill a German prison. Some of his comrades who returned from France recently re- ported they had visited a grave in France upon which was a marker bearing his name.
