COMPLAIN AS TO STREET CONDITION
Fire Department Gets Back Chemical No. 1.
Especial to The Times.)

Stratford, April 7-The members of
 the board of SeIectmen are still re- ceiving complaints relative to the bad condition of the streets of the town the latest coming from the residents of Wood End road who have enrolled
 signatures of 36 of the citizens and
 property owners complaining of the condition of their street. The petition
 says that the street is in such bad
 condition that people cannot walk on
 the thoroughfare without endanger-
 ing their lives. Recently one man
 was stuck in the mud and had to get
 help to pull him out of his precarious
 position. Other streets are reported
 to be ir as bad a condition and at
 the present time the selectmen are
 powerIess to relieve the conditions
 owing to not having the necessary funds to compensate workmen.

IT'S DoLLoRS AND CENTS

Never in the history of the United
States have home gardens been sc
necessary or so profitable as they will
be this year. We make no exception to
the years 1917 and 1918, when the
country was dotted with war gar
dens," put out by patriotic citizens
who were each making a small con-
tribution toward feeding the world.
The war is over, or at least suppos-
ed to be, but the need of home gardens
has increased instead of decreased.
The patriotic plea, however, no long
er prevails. 1t is now matter of dol
lars and cents that and getting en-
ough to eat. Because of the scarcity of
farm labor of every character there
is an alarming decrease this year in
the acreage devoted to food supplies.
1t is an impossibility to obtain suffi-
Gent help, even at the unusual high
wage offered for that class of labor.
The crop season is upon us, and in
stead of improving the situation has
become worse. No farmer in his right |
mind is going to undertake to farm
more acres than he can properly Guilt |
vate. Therefore, decrease acreage.
The price of all kinds of food stuff |
is high now and we shall be fortunate
if it does not climb higher in the next
few months. So it should not be neces-
sary, in view of these circumstances,
to urge everyone in the community
who possibly can to put out a garden.
A few feet of space, if carefully uti-
lied, can be made to produce several
1undrd dollars worth of vegetable in
4 season-or at least enough if pro- |
3erly tended to supply the average
amily. And it should also be re-
nembered that every dollar saved now =
S going to be bigger dollar when
Kings get back to normal in this land.

DODGING DISEASES
UncIean Hands Carry Germs

First of series of articles on how
to keep we'll authorized by the North
ern Division of the American Red
Crosse
By Honora Costigan.
"Dodging disease germs should be
the slogan of one who wishes to keep
well
The dangers of infectious diseases,
the immediate suffering and often
times the long train of after-effects,
such as weakened eyes, pus forma-
tons in the ears, disease of the kid
neys and other serious disasters to
health, bring home to each of us the
value Of knowing how to prevent di-
sease germs from entering the body
and how to keep well.
Measles, scarlet fever, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and other communicable
diseases with which we are all fami-
liar are spread by FERNS. The fern is
the seed of the disease, which, if it
finds root in the body, multiplies and
causes illness.
When this seed or germ is present
in the body Of one person in such null
tituds as to cause disease it is not
difficult for it to be transferred to
the body of another person unless
both the sick and the well person
exercise great care. Germs are to be
found in the excretions of persons
suffering from these diseases and al
so in the mouth-spray or spittle.
These germs may be carried to the
body of healthy person by means
of utensils touched by the sick. By
far the most dangerous carriers of d.
sease germs are the hands Food, milk,
water towels, clothes and handker-
chiefs can be boiled to kill the germs
but the hands cannot be cleaned SO
easily, and their warmth enables
germs to renal alive longer upon
them SO that when the hands are used |

When on this subject, it might be

ctors, that at the next general cleo

Further common on these questions
would seem superfuous as the almost
unanimous answers in the affirmative
speak, more forcibly, for themselves.
Practically all States now have such
laws and realize that the budget sys-
tenn is the only efficient method of
handling public moneys. with limita-
lions as to the creation of offices.
The foregoing represents only a
portion of the work being done by the
Committee. The further plans of the
Committee contemplate the prepare
lion of bills and amendments to our
| present laws, drawn along the lines
DIS suggested by the replies to the
missionaries, and it has also been
suggested that the Committee formu-
late a quesioonnaire to be sent to all
candidates for Governor and those
seeking seats in the Legislature, con-
tanning pertinent questions on taxa
ton matters, the replies to be publish
ed so the people may know the atti-
tude of the different candidates on
this question.
There should be no sidestepping Of
this issue by the candidates and the
taxpayers should demand something
more than a statement from the pro-
spective candidates; they should by
all means, exact in no unmistakable
terms, the attitude of each candidate
on the paramount issue of taxation.

ing the issuance of approximately S45,- |

high and that retrenchment is neces-
sary, it behooves the taxpayers at this
time, to give the tax matters careful
attention.
On account of the high tax at the

Question No.7-Are you in favor OF q
change in the assessment of the pro
ducts of mines Answer: 921 Yes
and 255 NO.
The amount of comment and numer-
Ious suggestions with respect to the
assessment aud taxation of this class
of property make it apparent that a
change in our present method is de-
sired.
This proposition is food for careful
thought in order that no injustice may
result to the mining interest A Con-
stitutional amendment will be neces-
sary to change the method of taxation
of mines and on account of the inner
ent qualities of the different mineral
deposits, the law should provide for
the segregation of mining properties
into the followin classes: Metallifer-
Gus, Carbon, Oil and Clay or Silicious
deposits.

you favor revision of this, so that

Investigation into the operation of
the laws of other states that have this
provision, show that this method of
assessing merchandise has proven
very satisfactory from the standpoint |
of taxable value and also equitable as
between the merchants. Such a change |
is evidently desirable from the tenor
OF the answers to the missionaries,

chants to keep their books in shch a
