Vegetable Peaches the Latest

A DEBORAH lady, Mrs. John Elliott
tried out the experiment of growing
something new in her garden this
year by planting vegetable peaches.
She had good success with the plants
and succeeded in growing quite
few. They grow on heavy vines
which lay close to the ground. The
product of the vines grow as large
as a good sized hens egg, are yellow
in color, have a skin as tough as
a lemon, and last but not least they
taste like cantaloupe. They make
delicious pickles and can be used for
favoring, etc.

mand and exceptional difficulties in wage adjustments" says MT. Hall
 There is also an utter absence of any well-grounded hope for a general berterment of conditions in the near future. The extra ordinary demands upon the trade during the war have left both the operator and the miner up in the air, and it is beyond human ken to know when they will get back to a practical, sensible state of mind.' D
 Low Production Record.
 During the past year coal produc- ton in Pennsylvania reached a new low record, with an estimated out put of 1S4. ,2S5 tons, of which ST. 53O,1O2 tons was anthracite and 97,- 4O2,1S3 bituminous coal Anthracite production is 2,105,934 tons below the 1920 record. while there has been a falling off of about 70,0O0,O0O in bituminous production. Coke pro- duction was 100000 tons, as com pared with 16.O0O.G00 in 1920.
 In the anthraci regions $50 per- sons were killed in mining accidents, while 2eo fatalities occurred in the bituminous regions. Anthracite miners worked an average of 263 days, while in the soft coal regions the estimate is 1SS working days, as compared with 226 days in 1920.
 The absence of coal orders from industries. Hall says, is the most disturbing factor at the present time, but he declares that the do- mes,tic demand has helped material ly over the dull period with all but the small industrial sizes of coal Han says that the anthracite indus try stands upon a solid foundation is well organized and inteIligentIy controlled
 Too Many In Business
 In discussing the bituminous field Hall says: The fundamental weak ness lies in the fact that there are too many people in the business and too many mines in operation. The 'check-off syst enl is declared to have many disadvantages in the bituminous field.''
 The usual difficulties in wage ad- justments, strikes and check off Sys- tenn troubles are looked for this year, according to HalL He looks for no resum mption of coal business until the industries return to their old-time activity and believes that phen the question of transportation facilities will Be unsolved for years to come.

POLICEMEN'S WAGE GUT,
 FREQUENTLY RUAiORED
 NOT POPULAR WITH FORGE
Cost of Uniforms and Equipment Entirely Borne by the Officers Is One of Strongest Arguments Offered In Opposition To Much Talked of Reduction.

-sumors of a possible cut in police Salaries are the main topics of discus sion at headquarters these days, and judging from the general cOncenSus a wage cut will be anything but popu- lar. Informal protest meetings are held whenever couple of officers get together, and the men are already starting to count the dollars which may in the future be missing from their envelopes every other week. Economy is admitted by most police men to be a great thing, but when it strikes home with a 20 per cent. re- duction in pay, the prospects lose a good deal of their rOsineSS as far as the man on the street. is concerned.
 One of the first arguments ad- vanced against the proposed reduc- ton is the cost of uniforms and
 equipment which must be borne by every member of the local police de to the Bridgeport force he faces Sn mately $375, itemized as follows: Overcoat, $75. dress coat, $40; blouse, $50; cap, S3, two pairs of trousers, S32; raincoat. boots and rubbers $20; revolver $S8; billy $2; shoes, three pairs. $27; t'niDpers," $3; tension fund $40 per year; Sick Benefit as sociation, S4 per year, and other do- nations, $50 a year. Returns are re- ceived from the pension fund and Sick Benefit association. but uniforms and equipment wear out and must be continually replaced at the police mans own expense.

IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occa- sionally if you eat meat
 regularly

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores SO they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine- This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for gen. erat.ons to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- traIize the acids in urine 1t longer causes irritation. thus ending bladder dif orders.

POOR PARISIkN CLAIMS HE IS OF
 ROYAL BLOOD

Paris Jan. 24-One of the rag and bone pickers of Paris has just made known his belief that he may be a descendant of the Great Emperor Napoleon I. His name is Louis NapO- leon Eugene MaNinilen Laurent Mas son. He is called Napoleon" and gives as the reason for his use of that name the following explanation:
 My father was a shoe Cobbler and secondhand dealer who used to res cue dogs and cats bodies from the Seine to sell for making grease. My mother was travelling mender of pots and pans
 My mothers mother was Rosalie de NIandel of Spanish origin and noble. Her husband, my grand father. named F'irmin. was from Ire land. They kept an inn at Clethy, in the department of Pas de Calais, where coaches changed horses
 One evening the Emperor arrived at Clethy and my grandmother warn ed him to go no further as there were English soldiers about. My grand father fed and hid in a ravine My grandmother hid Napoleon in the lower part our two storied cellar until Le. could leave in safety. When my mother was born: my grandfather always refused to recognize her as his child, declaring that Napoleon was her father.

the members of the police depart ment, and in New Haven the city shares half of this expense. This condition has always been a point for argument by the local police, and is being brought forward with much emphasis at the present time.
 Working overtime with no extra pay is another factor that has been brought out for an airing. The po- lice department is now working with out is complete quota of men, and this situation results in regular patrolnlen being called upon to do a generous portion of extra duty. The men re- ceive no additional pay for this work. Overtime orders are not popular, but they are always executed without complaint. Patrolnlen are given two days off per month, but in New Ha- ven policemen are granted one day off in every eight.
 Whether the rumored wage cut will ever go into effect is problematical as the police department has already This was the decision of the board to postpone the appointme of addi- tional members to the force until it could be seen whether or not the de- partment can function efficiently with it's present quota. Promotions were a Lso side-tracked for the time being this resulting in the curtailment of higher salaries. Pressure is undoubt- edly being brought from the outside to force a reduction in police salaries, but the move cannot be carried out without a vigorous protest from the men who are going to feel it most.

INDOOR GOLF
 COURSE OPENS
 AT STRATFlELD
Game Becoming Favorite With Devotees of Great Outdoor Sport.

Bridgeport now has its indoor golf course With the exception of the walking, it's sponsor promises all the joys of outdoor golf, including the language. Indoor golf has also the advantage of being near at hand for to enjoy the new course, one has only to go to the Stratfield hotel where it has been set up in room 20.
 George F. Sparling golf profess sional at the Brooklawn Country club opened the school on Saturday. Since that time he has had number of applications from business and pro- fessional men of the city not to men tion women, who are planning to steal a half hour or so a day to perfect their stroke and to indulge in their beloved sport.
 A Better Sport.
 MT. Sparling promises that indoor sport is better for perfecting the stroke than out door golf, as there twittering of birds of signing of the gentle breezes to affect tn eemotions, gone wrong. Also. the beginner can't loose his ball and spend nine- tenths of his time as an apprentice searching the surrounding bushes.
 There is no trick about the indoor game, one uses the same clubs, ball and stroke as in the outdoor variety. The ball itself Is arrested in its flight by a series of canvas pockets which arrangement is quite simple and it is possible to play a game of any length desired. Two sets of players can use the course at one time.
 Another advantage of the indoor course is that it can be used at any time of the day or evening that the player desires as it will be open all the time. Mir. Sparling is being as have been at the Beardsley Park course.
