A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to Semi-Hqmid form.
In 1888 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to dry
porder form with extract of matted
grains, zrithom cane sugar.
This product HoRLlcK named
Matted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) It's nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

POLICE CLAIM THEY DID NOT DESERT PUBLIC Boston Strikers Say Curtis Announced He Had Yak
 en Precautions. ASK RETURN
 AND INCREASES Insist Governor Has Not Deserved Praise For
 Acts,

Boston, Sept. 26-The striking po~ fcemen through their counsel today indicated that they were still look ing forward to reinstatement under improved conditions notwithstanding the proclamation by Governor Coo Hdge that they have ''dispossessed themselves of their places" Coun- sel, in closing lengthy statement to the public of the conditions and negotiations which proceeded the po- icemen's walkout on September g, said, i've are thinking of their re- turn to the work in which they were engaged so long with better wages, better hours and liveable conditions" :"
 These improvements already are under way as a result of the strike, the statement says, adding that the policemen hold that instead of being deserters from their posts of duty they are strikers who "did not aban- don the city to riot and robbery any more than the governor and mayor did"
 Like the governor and mayor" the statement continues, t"They had been told by the commissioner CPoHce Com missioner Curtts) in public announce ments that he had taken adequate precautions"
 The statement, which is signed by James H. Nahey ano John P. F'eeney, counsel for the policemen's union, taking notice of the fact that Cover nor Coolidge for his 'tcourageous at titude" in handling the strike situa- tion, "has had his praises sung all over the country asserts that the governor Knows deep down in his heart and conscience that he deserves no praise.'' The governor is quoted in the statement as saying on Sept. 3, when the police question was brought to his attention that he "did not want to get mixed up in it. Later the statement continues, "he was forced to mix into it. when mem bers of the mayors committee conferred with him on a compromise plan by which the police would aban- don affiiation with an outside union.
 It Is added that tboth the governor and the committee said his excellency had not approved the compromise plan. What possible objections he could have had to it remains mys- tery."
 Continuing, counsel for the police men say that if the governor had followed Mayor Peters suggestion and had called out the home guards, Bos- ton would not be the city of shame it is today To the mayor and his advisers is due the credit for bring ing Boston back to normal

ENjOINS BANK
 FROM PAYING
 STOCK INC0ME:

The income from a collection of stocks and bonds valued at $20,0O0 is the cause of injunction proceedings brought by Samuel F. Garter of New York against the Westport Bank 6 Trust Go. and Harry s. Brownel. In papers filed today in the superior court it is stated that the Trust Go. is enjoined from paying the income to anybody and Brownen is enjoined from assigning the money.
 Garter claims he obtained a iudg- ment of S24,717.S5 against Browneu in the United States circuit court in 1902. He has been unable to collect the judgment but has since learned that when Sarah S. Brownen, wife of Harry S. Browne1, died in 1918, she left her securities with the Westport Bank & Trust Co. in trust for her husband with the provision that the income should not be used to pay Brownells debts.

Sues For I)eatil Of
 Husband Civil Action May Solve Mystery of John T. Col
 lins' Death.

 OWNED DEATH GAR

Civil suit brought today by the widow of John T. Collins, of Nor walk, who was killed near BulkIey's garage in Southport on September p, 1918, against Fred Wempe, a wealthy West Norwalk farmer may serve to solve the mystery of the mans death which has remained a secret for the past year.
 The action filed, alleges that Wempe's car was the one which struck and killed Collins while he was. working on his machine on the post road and then made a success ful getaway. Damages Of S1O,OOO are asked by the woman, who since her husbands untimely death has lost son, also the victim of an auto- mobile accident in Norwalk
 The inquest into the Collins killing, resulted in a finding of death as the result of being struck by an automo- bile driven by parties at present un- known" This finding permits a con- unuance of the hearing and it was learned today that Coroner John J. Phelan has never given up hope of locating whoever was guilty of the 'dastardly act as he termed it to- day
 There is not at present, to my knowledge, a complete chain of evi- cence,' the Coroner said today, but if such is established this case will cer- tainly be reopened Sergeant Frank Nirelli, of the State Police, has been working on the case right along and I have not known what information he has obtained in the last two weeks. If possible, the case will be complet- ed"
 The civil action alleges that Wempe was owner of the car and that Jack Red Barry, a well known South Norwalk young man,was operating the machine at the time it figured in the catastrophe.
 The story is told that Wempe's son and Barry were in the machine at the time of the fatality and were driving on the turnpike in an easterly direc- ton. After hitting Collins, it is claim ed the machine was turned about and went back to NorwalS were Barry and Wempe stopped at lunch cart. Here, according to the version given of the accident, Barry displayed such ner- vousness as to lead to suspicious which now result in the civil action.
