POWDERED MILK
 BEING SOLD FOR GENUINE ARTICLE

Hartford. Jan. 23.-That several milk dealers in Hartford have enter ed the profiteering game by bottling scores of bottles of powdered milk. and selling it at the regular pure milk price, IS and 20 cents, has been brought to the attention of the state diary and food commissioner. Hart ford doctors and others have been complaining regarding the quality of milk being distributed by certain dealers, and a prominent physician has informed Commissioner Holt's of- fee that g. child had been made ill ny drinking some of the powdered milk, which costs the dealer approximately 5 or cents a quart
 It is against the law for dealers to sell this milk at retail, and at such exorbitant prices as are being charged, and as soon as sufficient evidence is secured Commissioner Thomas Holt will take action toward prosecution. Inspectors have secured samples of milk from dealers sus- pected, and; within a few days a re- port is expected from the state lab oratorieS
 The powdered milk profiteering has been going on for some time, it is said by physicians, and it is tima that it should be stopped. More

PUT STOMACH IN

Says Indigestion Results From An Excess of Fly
 drochloric Acid

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air. says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus ev- erything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which infiate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eruc- tate sour food or have heartburn, flat ulence, water-brash or nausea
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead. get from any phal macy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of vya- ter before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to continue this for week. While re- lief follows the first dose, 1t is import ant to reutralize the acidity. remove the gas-making mass, start the liver simulate the kidneys and thus pro. mote free flow of pure digestive juices.

Secretary of State Lansing sneezed suddenly in Paris and spoiled his features.
 During the Peace Conference Cap tain William T. Schwartz. an artist commissioned in the Medical Corps. was detailed by the War Department to take life masks of the delegates to serve as models for busts in wax or bronze. In the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' weekly, he tells of how the busy Secretary or State made his plaster debut as follows: "secretary of State Lansing ruined a promising mask by thinking an unhappy thought while it was being taken. He was very busy during the conference and it was only after repeated attempt

 Suddenly MT. Lansing began to show signs of distress. Queer noises issued from behind the mask and desperate signals were given with both hands and feet The artists Jumped desperately at the half fin ished mask and tore it off, with frightened thoughts of heart failure or apoplexy.

Lose HeduiIy by The}ts
Roads Pay Sl04,OO0,00O in
Claims for Missing Goods;
InrpSficnfinu Is % Il q z.o Il

Railroads and steamship lines have
been losing so heavily through thefts
of freight, it was learned yesterday,
that they are making a general sur
vey to determine how these losses
come about and to devise some means
to end them. The American Railway
Association has appointed commit
tee of three to investigate the increas-
ing losses, and classify them, but it
was said in the Offices here, at rs
Church Street, that this inquiry had
Just begun. and there was no specific
data available as yet. John E. Fair
sociation, was unable to estimate rail
road losses within the metropolitan
district of New York. The general
survey is being made in Chicago.
The railroads have paid $104, 900 600
this year in claims for losses, accord
ing to local railroad official, who
said, however, that accurate statistics
were not available. Freight claim
agents said that it would be impos-
slble even to guess at the value Of
goods stolen, because the thefts were
not classified as tthefts in claims
against the roads, but were consid-
cred merely as losses. They added
that it was not practicable to de-
termine when goods were lost and
when they were stolen.
An agent of the New York Central
said that there was no question about
robberies being far in excess of former
years, and that railroad men were
greatly concerned about it. But an
agent Of the Pennsylvania Lines said
that their losses were no greater and
that the actual values lost wele getting
smaller because the prices Of all COM
modities were dropping.
Agents of steamship lines, notably
the Fall River Line, Mallory Steamship
Company, Clyde Steamship Company
and Savannah Line, said they were sure
that their losses had grown vastly, but
until the new year they would not have
accurate figures to offer Woolen
goods, boots, foodstuffs, merchandise
of all sorts, they said, have disappeared
mysteriously from piers, cars, trucks

Mayor Asso;ls Newspapers
As Friends Of Gamblers
Bl0mes Labor Unrest and Post
War Conditions Generally for
Crime Wure in This City

In letter addressed to Mrs. George
z. Owens, president Of the Government
Club, Hotel Astor, yesterday, Mayor
Hyan took occasion to review the re-
cent moves made by the Police Com
missioner and himself toward reliev-
the city. Mrs. Owens wrote the Mayor
a letter on December 20 demanding
to know what plans were being made
to afford adequate police protection.
The Mayor in his letter first discussed
the general plans made to combat
crime and vice since he has been in
office.
"Since I have been in Office" said
the Mayor, ~ have given every posi-
of the criminal vice and gambling ele-
ments. The many vile and disruptable
hotels that were in existence when
l took office have been driven out of
business. The powerful gamblers who
have been unmolestcd for years have
likewise been driven out Of business.
Their friends on some of the news
papers in this city are using every pos
sible means to discredit those who will
not allow these men to continue their
gambling operations in this city.
Everything possible has been done
to rid the Police Departmt Mt and par
ticularly the vice and gambling squads,
the detective and other bureaus of
those who seemed to have sympathes
that were against the best interests of
a proper and honest police administra-
ton.
"The great labor unrest all over the
country and the many persons being
thrown out Of employment and after
war conditions generally are response
Bile for existing conditions"
l. The Mayor then reviewed the vari-
ous orders which have recently been
promulgated by Police Commissioner
Enrlght to concentrate the force on
hand for extra and more intensive po-
lice duty, as we'll as precautionary
measures suggested for the citizens by
the Commissioner and the Mayor.
Among other things the Mayor de-
Selared that the Police Commissioner
had put back into force "thc old pla-
toon system, which was established by
former Commissioner Waldo and re-
quires more service from the men dur
ing the day and night"
It was generally understood that the
system reestablished in the present
emergency was that of former Police
c ,mmiss oner Arthur Woods. bat the
Mayor gives Mr. Waldo the credit.
The Mayor invited constructive .
suggestions from Mrs. Owens. which
he said would be carried out, if feast

emily the party drew up in state at
Headquarters, and Mrs. Ruickholdt,
ignoring her offic al escort, swept re-
gally into Inspector Coughlin's Office
The inspector was somewhat taken
aback at her impressive appearance and
her frigidly reiterated assertion that
she was Mrs. Alfred Mitchell.
So much in doubt was he as to the
identity of his caller that he got Stone
& Berry, of New London, on the tele-
phone and had Mrs. Ruckholdt talk to
a salesman who knew Mrs. n tcheu
She told him, according to the inspector,
that of course she was Mrs. Mitchell,
and that she was utterly unable to
understand this absurd and huml ating
experience to which sre VAS being sub
jected.
Nevertheless, the inspector said, the
salesman told him when he took the
phone in hand again that the woman
he had been talking to was not Mrs.
Alfred Mitchell. Inspector Coughlin
turned to the woman seated beside his
desk
"Wcll, madam" he said. ~ intend to
place you under arrest"
At these words, Inspector Coughlin
said, his prisoner burst into tears and
exclaimed: i'm Il fOOllSn, fOOllSh WOm-
an! When my husband learns of this
he will commit suicide."
Posed as Mrs. Sharp
When she had regained measure of
calmness, Inspector Coughln said, Mrs.
Ruickholdt told him that besides order
ing the jewelry from New London she
had registered at the Hotel McAlpin
as Mrs. Charlotte Sharp and had sent
an urgent message to Mrs. Elmer Sharp,
a cousin of Mrs. Charlotte Sharp, ask
ing for loan Of $1,000.
According to Inspector Coughln, a
complaint concerning this transaction
was received at headquarters several
days ago, Mrs. Elmer Sharp saying
that after she had sent the che elk for
$1,000 she had learned that her cousin
was not in New York.
The $3.50 worth of clothing which
Mrs. Ruickholdt is said to have ordered
sent to the Murray Hill Hotel in the
name of Mrs. f. l.. Porter was found
IN her room at the hotel. according to
the police.
