Food and Brains.

The worlds largest captive snake
a python, rs feet long-is brought
from Malay jungles to the National
Geological park in Washington.
You can watch it safely in it's glass
cage, for it has no brain to tell it tina,
1t could smash it's ways to freedom i,
hurting its $50 pounds against the
glass.
No trouble on the journey across
the Pacific-the snake slept all the
way. Its last meal in the Orient was
a large pig, crushed in the python's
powerful coils and swallowed whole.
After its meal the python sleeps
three weeks.
Are you like the python? Do Won
eat too much at noon, then fee loggv
and drowsy for hours?
Employers may not know it, but
the real reason they want office work
ers down cary in the morning is be-
cause breakfast is a light meal. With
the stomach lightly burdended until
noon, efficiency runs high.
In the afternoon, with several
pecks OF corned beef and cabbage and
pie a la mode in the stomach, there is
a tendency to yawn, gaze trance-like
u the window and manifest general
fog in the head.
An empty stomach and a keen brain
are Slamese twins. That is why pow
efty produces so many geniuses. Hell

those with whom MI. Taylor conferred
were in favor of giving the plan 8

Failure of the taxpayer to meet a,

will necessitate a special trip, the ex.

Full information and details of the
plan will be mailed from the assessors
office to each taxpayer early in the

Mr.. Tayor states that the new sys-
tenn of classifying the land will entail
much additional labor in preparing the
assessment lists. When once done,
however, it will be done for all time
as the classification as made will be

Status of Tariff Bill

The balance of the year will be de.
voted by Congress to clearing the
decks for the passage of the Fordney.
Penrose tariff bill. That bill will oc-
cupy the attention of Congress to the
exclusion of other legislative matters
beginning the fore part of the new
year.
A review of legislative action con-
corning the tariff bill is pertinent at
this time. Considerable preliminary
action had been taken in 1920 toward
its consideration in the House, Jan
uary 9Th, of this year, formal hear
ings on the tariff question were init
ated, proceeding until February 10th.
Importers and manufacturers, with
out partially were given audience by
the Ways and Means Committee, so
that in no sense could the measure be
said to favor one class more than an
other.
June 29th the tariff bill was sub
mitted to the House and promptly
referred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee. July 9Th it was formally re-
ported back to the House and debate
began, extending to July Fl, when the
bill was passed by a vote of 288 to
1877. The bill was a frankly protec-
tive measure carrying out the CAM
paign promise of the Republican party
for "a revision of the tariff as soon
as conditions. shall make it necessary
for the preservation of the home mar
ket for American labor, agriculture
and industry" During the previous
calendar year no less than $500, OOO,-
600 worth of imports had entered this
country.
Meanwhile, and while the bill was
under debate, agriculture was threat
ened with a terrific amount of compe-
tition from abroad and there was an
insistent demand from the agricultur-
al interests that something be done
Immediately for them. They did not
think the situation would wait for the
final adoption Of the general tariff

IDEALS N

The true estimation Of life concern.
itself primarily with things of tn,
spirit. No man can be measured b,
the balance he carries at the bank O,
the kind of clothes he wears. We
judge men by ideals which are of the
heart, the mind and the spirit.
Ideals constitute the ichor that
nourishes noble human conduct
Though imponderable by material
standards, they touch life most con-
cretely at all points and exert a pro-
found influence on the affairs of men.
One Of the greatest tragedies in
life is the ignoring of ideals for selfish
and personal interests. When a man
in whom we have confidence turns
false to his ideals, that is a tragedy
indeed. There is tragedy in a news
paper placing interest above duty by
violating decency in the character Of
the news it prints. Where a manu-
facturer turns out goods merely to
sell, and not to serve, there also is
tragedy.
Some time ago a newspaper man
interviewed Bill Hart, the famous
"Wild West" movie star, and asked:
Doesn't it give you a big sense of
responsibility to know that so many
people believe in your"
Bill sat back in his chair, narrowed
his eyes, and then said:
"Your question sure seems to be
getting me where I live. No one ever
mentioned that to me before; but it's
true-dead true. I've got to keep
faith with those who believe in me,
especially the children"
Then he went on to relate an Incl
dent which not only brings the trag-
edy of turning aside from ideals in
life. He said:
give just been thinking of some
thing read in the paper a while ago.
It has made me feel sick all day. You
probably saw it, too-where that big
baseball star, whom millions of Amer
lean boys worshipped, was stopped on
the street by a newsboy after con-
Tossing that he had helped throw the
Worlds Series a year ago.
ut amt true, is it, Joe?" the kid
asked.
"I'm afraid it is, sonny" the ball
replied.
Then Bill Hart Strengthened himself
out, clenched his fist, and said in a
voice vibrating with feeling:
"Do you know, I'd rather be in hell
than be in that mans shoes!"
Just a tragedy in ideals, but a
tragedy, indeed. Just a violation of
human confidence for personal inter-
est. But how deeply it etches itself
into human consciousness and touches
life in a vital, gripping way. 1t pays
to keep faith with ideals.

 The fifth edition of the Rotary News has made it's appearance and it contains many items of interest.
 The resolution in favor of the Am erican Valuation plan which was passed at the meeting of the club or December 15, is mailed to Senators George P. Mclean, Frank A. Brande- gee, Congressman E. Hart Fenn, James r. Glynn, Richard P. Free man, John c. Tilson, Schuyler Mer- ritt and Hon Bores Penrose. All who replied to the letters stated that they were heartily in favor of the plan and assured the local Rotarians of their support
 The following editorial is taken from the Rotary News;
 The committee who had charge Of arranging details of taking care Of the 52 families on Christmas Day, are to be congratulated upon their splen- did work. Surely nothing that our club has done yet so forcibly brings home to the men themselves the real spirit and meaning of ''ROtary.' It was certainly a pleasure to see the men with their baskets on their arms, purchasing necessary food stuffs to make up the dinner for the family for whom they were responsible. Every New Britain Rotarian apprc- ciates much better today than he did before Christmas, the meaning of our motto, He Profits Most, Who Serves Best" May the good work continue.

JITNEUR BERATES
 P. U. COMMISSION
Says Withholding Of Hart Street Franchise Has Made Right to
 Hun at This Time Worthless.

Claiming that the public utilities commission had practically frozen him out of business on the Hart street jitney line by delaying the .ssu- ing of n permit until the line had lost it's business value, John J. Hall, one of the proprietors of the Arch street line, has withdrawn his application,
 Mir Hall made application to oper- ate on Hart street to Corbin avenue as soon as he heard that Edward r. French had turned in his permit. That was more than two weeks ago. Since the time MT. French discontinued the line there has been no service on that street whatever
 Contending that 1t would be an ex- pensiVe proposition to try and regain the business which had been built up by Mr. French, after service had been discontinued for several weeks, MT. Hall went to Hartford Saturday and withdrew his application. One or the conditions being imposed up- on applicants by the commission be- fore granting permit is that of com polling the applicant to sign q years agreement
 Bud Miller, another local jitneyman, has an application on file to operate on this street, as have Elliott Gable and Fred Franchcr.

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can
 Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home, All drug stores sell the ready-to use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular, because nobody can dis cover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it, and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with (Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and ap- pearance of abundance which is so at tractive.
