Wednesday morning our people
awoke to find the ground covered with
snow and still showing, and la
ter turning to rain. Thus far we have
had comparatively little moisture in
the year 1920.
Miss May Fitzkee entertained a
number of her friends at a Valentine
party at the p. V. Tuell home last
Saturday evening. The evening was
most pleasantly spent by making
Valentines and social chat and games
and music. Refreshments were
served during the evening.
The County Board of Health or
Monday morning closed the Wood
schools indefinitely on accsunt of the
prevalence of the flu. There are sew
eral cases of the disease in town, but
this step was taken more as a precau'
tionary measure. Now if the County
Board of Health would only placard
every place that has a case of flu as
the State Board of Health has order
ed, and warn people to stay away
perhaps the disease could be curbec
to some extent.

$I,O0O, 900 GO. | TO BREAK TRUST AND CUT PRICES Men of State Wide Promi- hence Form New Ice Corporation. PRIVILEGES ON HOUSATONIC LAKE
 Ice Already 13 Inches Thick Harvesting to Start at Once.

Negotiations were closed yesterday by 8 newly-formed 8, 900, 600 ice cor poration composed of q ten men of statewide prominence, including State
 Treasurer G. Harold Gilpatric, tor
 25-year lease of the ice privileges on
 the ten-1nile lake created by the dam
 ming of the Housatonic river at Ste
 venson by the Connecticut Light and Power company.
 By the harvesting of 5000 or 1,000,- 900 tons of ice annually for distrtbu- ton in all parts of the state, the cor poration plans to reduce the cost of ice with the probable result that the backbone of the ice trust in Connecti- cut will be broken.
 With; the ice already 13 inches thick ] at the lake, equipment including mod. ern electrical harvesting apI z Inces ] are being rushed to Stevenson and harvesting will be started without de- l lay. Two of the 34 hollow tile ice houses are already in process of con- struction, but owing to the advanced season, it will be possible to cut only | 100, coo tons this year. For this reason, it may be another year before there l will be enough of the product Of the | new corporation on the market to bring about the ultimate results ex- pected.
 $5OO,OOO for Buildings. l The aggregate cost of the thirty l four proposed icehouses will be S500,- I 900, and they will be located at diff 1 ferent points along the lake, each l with it's complete equipment. On l account of the nearness to the pow ! reproducing plant of the Connecti- i cut Light & Power Co.,, the ice blows and other harvesting machinery will l be operated by electricity. Depend l ing on the weather, the yearly out l put will range from 500,000 to l. | 000,000 tons, some of which will be l shipped to distributing points from I the Stevenson station on the Berk- l shire Division of the New York, New l Haven & Hartford R. R., and the re. 1 mainder by motor trucks. Present i plans call for distributing stations d Waterbury, Danbury, New Haven l Bridgeport and New York, witf more to be arranged later so as tc facilitate distribution throughout the i entire state.
 The ice field on the lake covers ar | area of 1,500 acres, and it is estirnat 1 ed that there are 1000 tons 0. | tWelve-inch ice to the acre. Eacf l of the thirty-four icehouses, will be l about 30 feet high, 200 feet long and | 100 feet wide.
 Hitherto, according to information | brought out in ice trust hearings helt
 i'm New Haven, Harry W. Walker o1 | Bridgeport, the "ice king" and other l directors of the Berkshire Ice Go l have managed to maintain contro I of the ice business in Connecticut by l either buying out or putting out ol
 business by other methods such new ice industries as in any way threaten l ed the ice trust. "The character
 and standing of the directors of The | Connecticut Ice Corporation" said | MT. Goodhart yesterday ttis ample
 guaranty to the public that this cor. | poration cannot be influenced in any 1 way by such interests"

BERGER WILL
 FIGHT FOR HIS
 SEAT IN HOUSE,

Washington, Jan. S-Victor Berger has written to the clerk of the House, Tyler Page. that if he is not allowed the stunt" of Daniel O'Conne1l. the Catholic emancipator of Ireland, who fought until Parliament opened it's doors to the Catholics. This threat is regarded as meaning Berger will make a continuous fight to win his seat. In his letter, dated Dec. 24, but not made public until yesterday, MT. Berger said:
 ''The voters of ilwaukee know what they want, and they seem to know whom they want. As you know by this time, I have been reelected. I shall, of course, reappoint E. H. Thomas and Alma Jacobus as my sec retaries for the same salaries they received before. Kindly send me the necessary blanks so that I may fill them out.
 Now, I really do hope that the National House of Representatives will bethink itself that 1t is supposed to be a House of Representatives and stand for representative government even for Socialists. Otherwise, I'll be compelled to repeat the stunt of Daniel O'Connell in Ireland and Charles L. Brad1augh in England" Unless Berger shows up in a day or two it is planned to lay his creden- tials before the House and take action regarding them at once.

RECEIPT FOR LONGEVITY IS
 TO BE MODERATE

New York, Jan. S.---Don't worry and be moderate in all things if you want to live to be 70 or more. This receipt for longevity was given today by Dr George L. Meylan, director of the Co., lumbia University gymnasium.
 There is abundant evidence" says Dr. Meylan, Ito justify the belief that the average duration of life could be increased from ten to twenty years by the general adoption of the principle, moderation in all things.''' Deaths by infectious diseases or violence are , excepted.
 The characteristics of people over 70 years, Dr. Meylan finds, are that they do not worry, have a happy disposi- tion and eat, drink, exercise and en- joy themselves moderately.
 Exactly the opposite conditions he says, -'are found almost invariably in persons between 90 and 70 years who suffer from organic disease of the nervous, digestive, excretory or circulatory systems and premature seni1ity, but the vicious circle of un- hygenic living usually includes over- stimulation, worry, eNcesses in pleas- ure, abuse of drugs and worry"

IF BACKACHY OR
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat, also take glass of Salts before eating
 breakfast

Uric acid in meat excites the kid sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from back ache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather Is bad.
 Eat less meat drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in- lure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kid hey trouble while 1t is only trouble.- kdY <

A TEST OF JUSTICE.

School teachers in New York be- gin with $50 a month. Rag pickers are receiving S33 a week. The rag picker's wage is not too much, when one considers the importance of rags in paper and carpet manufacture, and the profit of the industry, and the sanitive value of the service. But the other salary is too small for school teachers.
 Those who are interested in social problems and social justice can do well to watch the treatment received by school teachers, library workers. and similar servants of public cul- ture We can judge the depth and seriousness of the present demand foi. social justice by the policy of a community toward these workers. School teachers in Boston have been forbidden to make any appeal or representations to the Massachu- setts legislature in the matter of sal aries. They cannot appear before the legislature. School teachers in New York have been told, by some authorities at least, if they do not like the salaries they can resign. Now the salary and living condi- tions of a steel worker, or a miner, or a railroad man are largely the re- SpOnSlDllIlS Ol tIIe eliIplOSllS SoI pOI alton. At times a, public demand has forced the employing corporations to advance the salaries of such em- ployes No one regrets this. No one regrets that a rag picker receives SS3 a week.
 But the school teacher is not the empIoye of any remote and unpop- i uIar corporation. She is our em- l ploye Her wage scale represents l not the greed or the generosity o1 1 a corporation, but the liberality and l justice of the whole community. And , if the community continues to de- 1 mand the best of service from teach i ers at the smallest compensation i that community has not yet attained ] a sense of social justice, and there
 will be no social justice in that com 11,unity.
 The complaint against underpay- ment of teachers is an old one. I i is dwelt upon by Roger Aschan, who wrote his "Schoo11naster'' in the reigr
 of Henry VIII. But We have rid our.
 selves of many old abuses within the
 past few years, and this is another 1 antiquated evil which must go. Bu while the evil remains, it is an finder to us that the community has no ] vet reached a modern sense of socia justice. And as long as that evil re 1 mains, so long as we urge railroad
 to pay more-while we as a comnu nifty continue to pay no more-wt are showing that as a community W, are unworthy of the generous spiri l of the age.

Regular Habits Produce a Beautiful Complexion Daily elimination rds the system of poisons.
 Women should realize thafl

"A FANY women complain
 NE daily of their complexion, A'A of their headaches and gen. eral i'll health. little realizing that the trouble is constipation. Women, too, are much more sub ject to such congestion than men, and much more careless of it. The result is seen in lusterless, weary eyes, in sallow, pimply complexion, in lassitude, bad breath, and in that vord so often used. 'indisposed."
 At the first sign of these symp- toms the wise woman will take a laxative, and will see that the young girl and others in her care do likewise. Dr. Caldvell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite with thou sands of women because it is mild and gentle in it's action and in the end trains the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work naturally without the aid of medicine.
 This cornbina. ...on of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin, which can bo bought at any drug store, is also 8 very sterling frst-aid in colds, feyers and other sudden ills

REFORM OF WAR TAXATION.

Thirteen months and more after the armistice the people of the United States find themselves paying all the kinds and rates of taxes they paid tduring the war. Not only their in comes and their property and their profits but also their clothing, their legitimate delicacies of eating and drinking, and their very recreation, are taxed as if the great and bloody conflict had still to be waged as struggle of life or death.
 Some of these taxes will doubtless have to be retained in form till the debts of the war have been ex- tinguished, but most of them could easily be modified in their rates and their incidence.
 President Wilson has urged that this be done. His first recommended ton to that end was submitted to Congress more than seven months ago. It was renewed in his latest message nearly thirty days since.
 The Republican majority know that these taxes are burdensome anid in some particulars of kind and degree also unnecessary. They are well aware that they have the power to substitute a more equitable system of taxation for the present conditions
  President Wilson will approve a fair revision of the excess now collected from individuals and from business Gs a whole.
 What the Republicans in Congress 7 seemingly do not understand is that they will be held accountable for the continuance of these taxes. They ap- pear to nurse the delusion that they can deceive some millions of intelli- gent American voters and induce a popular belief that the failure of Re- publican legislators to do their duty will rebound to their political ad- vantage. That is a bit of trickery that aggravates the first offense of not using their power to remove or reduce burdens which are such largo factors in the high cost of living.
 Every intelligent adult in the coun- try knows that President Wilson urged the modification of war taxa fion. Every intelligent adult knows equally well that the Republican Con- gress has flouted his recommends tions and refused to serve the people

Drys to Ask Palmer to
Reconsider Cider Ruling

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The Anti
Saloon League will ask Attorney Cen
eral Palmer to reconsider his ruling
that the use of cider in the home by it's
manufacturer, even after it has become
Intoxicating by fermentation, is lawful,
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of
the league, announced to-day. The pur-
pose of the prohibition act does not
justify ruling, Mr.. Wheeler asserted
Declaring the Eighteenth Amend
ment prohibits the manufacture of in
toxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses in the home or elsewhere, Mr.
Wheeler said Congress in permitting
the manufacture OF cider and fruit
juices for home use fixed the alcoholic
standard at one-half Of one per cent
The ruling, he added, should be recon
sidered also because Congress placed
its own rule of construction on the law
by saying the act should be construed
to prevent the "use of intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes"
The Attorney Generals ruling, he as
serted, would not affect the thirty-eight
states which have laws prohibiting the
making Of cider which becomes intoxi-
eating, but in the other ten states at
will make enforcement more difficult if
it is upheld by the courts. "The ruling
encourages and increases the use of in
toxicating cider" Mr.. Wheeler asserted

Aliens Rejected by u. S.
Turn to South America
Rigors of Examinations by
American Doctors Cause Euro.
peans TO Take Easier Route

PARIS, Dec. 10 (By The Associated
Press ).-The tide Of European emigra-
ton will be turned to South America
in the event of the United States erect
ing barriers against immigration is the
opinion of DR.. Rupert Blue, Assistant
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, whose staff of
American doctors is supervising at
every European port the medical ex~
animation, vaccination and delousing
of all emigrants bound for the United
States.
"The most striking danger of in
creased emigration southwark said
DR.. Blue to-day, "is the likelihood of
maladies being carried along. Already
our strict medical inspection at ports
of departure has had repercussion of
South America, for thousands of the
emigrants we reject turn elsewhere and
many of them have succeeded in secur-
ing medical and vaccination certificates
emitting them to entrance into ma
jority OF the South American countries
Many Of those securing such admit
tance are suffering from insdious dis
eases which will develop visonal and
mental diseases which rapidly will re-
suit in debiitation."
DR.. Blue added that the rigors of the
examinations by the American doctors
influenced sickly emglants to take the
easier route to South America. The
American examination, he said, con-
sisted of a course of scrubbi.lg, steam
ing, shaving and clipping in the de-
lousing plants and afterward the fumi-
cation of all effects of would-be emil
grant and later a triple examination by
experts
