fl E1HE first conclusion that q
NlS$hZSlH man arrives at when he
Ss5S thinks of the new year is
HSSDH&GSA that he will turn over
IAAAlH new leaf observes Laura
Jean Libbey. If he's single
he resolves that he'll cut loose from
the companions he has had-the jolly
fellows who are not just what they
ought to be. He makes up his mind
that he'll quit turning night into day,
larking around until the wee sma'
hours and attempting to work the
next day. He makes up his mind he'll
save money. Instead of going out with
the boys he'll hunt up the nice girls
whom he knows and spend his eve
nings with them. From the many he
will choose one girl who shall be
nearer and dearer vet than all others.
He thinks he has had quite enough
of bachelor life-in fact that he'll
marry and settle down.
The married mans thoughts ard
along quite different line He makes
up his mind to cut down the number
of clubs to which he belongs and give
his wife the new cloak she has been
pining for. He will forego the stag
rackets that he has been accustomed
to join in, telling his wife that he's
been to a prayer meeting. He con-
cludes to give his wife a little more
pleasure in the way of outings, and
to pay her pretty compliments to
keep her heart from whitening alto
gether. He'll cease sneering when she
speaks of her relatives and refrain
from treating them shabbily when they
pay her a visit.
The father-in-law's thoughts take a
different turn. After long and serious
thought on the subject, he concludes
that he will shut his eyes to his SON
in-law's peccadilloes, give him a help
ing hand instead OF grumbling at the
manner in which he is keeping his
daughter; that he'll not take sides with
either when family row is on.
The free lance concludes to cross
off all the married from his calling
list, and to turn his attention to the
women who are heart whole and fancy
free.
The conductor on the trolley car
concludes that he will begin the new
year by stopping at just the corner
that people want to get off at so that
he may gain the thanks of the trav-
elers instead of the upbraidings of
irate passengers who are obliged to
walk many blocks back
The rounder- who depends on the
lunch counter for his daily fare CON
cludes that he will accept a job from
any man who is inclined to give him
a square deal. The gambler thinks he
will turn his attention from the tricks
of his trade because gambling is pro-
hibited in his state. He thinks he NAV
pick up nimble penny by becoming
a rousing notwithstanding the dell
round the stump. The milkman CON
cludes not to stop at the town pump
for drink, the dashing chauffeur CON
cludes to put his name and address in
his Identification book when he goes
Joy riding.
But do you think that these men will
keep these resolves? 1t is a good
thing to hope.

 FROM WAR DEPT. ARRIVE AT NIANTIC

The vanguard of that part of the $15,00o,o00 military equipment for Connecticut, which is to be stored at Niantic, arrived yesterday morning from the war department in the form of 20 Seven-ton automobile trucks President Barbour of the military emergency board informed the appro- priations committee of the General Assembly.
 President Barbour, appearing be- fore the committee by request, con- firmed the statement of Assistant QuartermaSter Smith, made to the committee last week, that the accept ance of the military units allotted to Connecticut, by the previous military emergency board, imposed an obliga- lion on the state to provide for the housing of the equipment, which Col onel Smith had estimated to cost about Se00,0 ,000, including the cost of repairs to and enlargement of armo- ries.
 President Barbour explained that, inasmuch as the state accepted two infantry regiments and two cavalry troops. the militia bureau of the war department required the state to take regiment of artillery. Whether it was to be an artillery regiment of howitzers or the 15-ton 155 milh- meter guns remained for the state to decide, and it chose the heavy type.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL.
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous These little olive colored tablets are tn result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calo1neI sometimes plays havoc with the gums. 50 do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Headaches, "dulIness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a dlsordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel '1ogy" and
 heavy" They clear" clouded brain and perk up" the spirits. 15c and BOG.
