THE SIGN OF EVIL

The appealing cry of a group o.
people who live in New Britain tc
wipe out, here. even the sign of evil
touches the heart. The keen anxiety
OF this group to have a certain OBJ
solete sign of brewery painted Out
reminds of Caesars wife-she 'musl
be above suspicion" Think of the
harm that sign may do. A person
looking at it might feel creeping ovel
him such craving for beer that he
would become desperate and go to any
lengths-even to Hartford-to get a
taste of the terrible stuff.
1t used to be said that on the
Bowery in New York the saloon
keepers would sweep sawdust onto the
walk in front of saloon and saturate
that sawdust with liquor SO that some
weak inebriate, passing by, would in
hale the odor and be so tempted by
II that he would be unable to pass the
place without spending his last cent
for liquor And it is now suggested, by
inference, that the offending sign in
this city should be painted out prob
ably because of its like influence. II
no more reform is needed in New
Britain than the effacing of a sign
not visible from the street, New Brit
ain is, indeed, virtuous city.
The Chief Of Police of this city has
a reputation for strictness and an
honest desire to enforce obedience to
the law as far as it is humanity pos
sible to do so. He realizes, as few
theorists are able to realize because of
their lack of experience, the difficult
ties attendant upon enforcement of
the prohibition law as embodied in the
volstead act-difficulties recognized
by sane people, all over the country
He is meeting those difficulties as best
he can and he is enforcing the law as
best he can. There is no pretense that
there is perfect obedience to the law
In New Britain any more than there is
in other parts of the country. Infinite
tact, almost, and almost superhuman
wisdom is required to handle wisely
a population composed of men and
women from all nations, such as that
of New Britain. We cannot expect
that New Britain will be free from en-
forcement troubles. We cannot expect
the country will be free from enforce
ment troubles. But we may place con-
fidence in our Chief of Police and we
may believe that he is handling the
situation as well as it can be handled,
and we may subscribe honestly to his
statement that he believes the situa-
ton in New Britain is better than in
any other. place in Hartford county.

HORSES

We hear a great deal about business
cycles: about the reaction that comes
In business. 1t ought to apply to
other activities. Where there is a
great demand for horses, for instance,
and many are raised, as was the case
before the automobile began to dis
place them, 1t is good business. When,
as now the decreasing demand lowers
the price and the number raised, the
horse business is poor. The aggregate
value of both horses and mules In
1922 in the United States was nearly
two billion Collars, but it was nearly
three billion in 19t6-2o.
Some may believe that the horse
will never come back, and 1t may be
admitted that this is probably true to
certain extent in work horses. But
it may well be doubted that the horse,
as an animal used for pleasure, will
not have his day once again. II this be
true, and if the reaction works in the
horse business as it has in other lines,
there will be an increasing demand
for horses and, of course, an increase
in their value. often old fashions re-
turn and enjoy great popularity. As
the airplane represents an investment
along the line of the new, so, quite
possibly, the fine horse may represent
an investment that some day will
bring dividends.

ings with bunting and to issue proc
lamations to the citizens to unfurl

pated that any demonstration will
take place in this city on that date,
but flags will be displayed in honor
of the occasion.

YOUR HEALTH
FOODS THAT MAKE BLOOD
(LNnfc
By DIR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON

The fats form the third group in
the foods that are a necessary re-
quirement for the upkeep and health
OF your body. In the actual order
Of use, they probably rank second,
the carbohydrates being first and the
proteins third as regards percentage
value in calories.
You will remember that in the
fuel foods consisting of starch, fat
and sugar, fat is also second. Its
place and value as a food in making
blood for body burning tissue is
therefore we'll defined.
Some people are real enemies of
fat. Yet fat as a food, not as sur
plus, non-working tissue, is abso-
lutely essential to normal bodily
health and growth. II your body
does not receive some food rich in
fats it will burn up. The tissues will
be drawn upon to supply the def
cheney. You will be thin, ~undernour-
ished and weak in disease resistance.
Butter, cream and cheese are in
the front rank. Roast beef, roast
pork and ham are runners up. Spin
ach, the great regulator, is rich in
fat; eat it whether you like it or not.
Onions well cooked come second to
spinach in the vegetable list. In 100
~calories of inions, 40 per cent is fat
food.
Baked beans are still good as ever.
If they don't interfere with your di-
g%estion, they are a good fat produc-
ing food used once or twice a week.
Peas and string beans are also excel
lent. Cheap fats are oleomargarine
and cotton seed oil.
Potato chips contain GO per cent
fat. Milk shares it's value as a food
material In good proportions, con-
tanning 81 per cent fat, 29 per cent
carbohydrates and 10 per cent pro-
tein.
1t is we'll to learn and practice
economy in buying food. But n
should always remember that there
Is no better economy than the con-
servation of ones working power. l
wish that the millions of u people,
who are forced through necessity to
live within we'll defined cost limita-
tons, could in some way acquire the
knowledge by which they would
thoroughly know and be able to Sc
lect, from these three great groups,
a proper nourishing diet. The posi-
tive health program that so many
newspapers with the aid of scientists
and physicians are carrying out. at
the present time, will help to a
marked degree in bringing this
about.

BOOZE CRIMES

AT Windsor, Canada, where a lot of liquor is Struggled
across the river into Detroit and on to other cities, the police
find a dead man wrapped in a blanket and buried in a marsh.
Another victim of rum-runners,' the police say. Quite
a common thing to find mysteriously murdered victims around
Windsor.
That's to be expected. The worst element of the under
world co-operates with the bootlegging traffic. It's big profits
lure crooks who otherwise would be blowing safes or holding
men up with pistols.
Yes, there's a lot of crime in the wake of prohibition.
Murder, burglary, forgery, counterfeiting. Due to prohi-
bitiong Many think so. But
The crime that trails prohibition is small compared with
the crime that was Matched in the old-time saloon days.
All very well, to be alarmed about crime accompanying
prohibition. But, let's not lose sight of the crime, that accom-
panied the wide-open bar.
John Barleycorn always was a bad citizen. He was the
king of the underworld. Driven to cover, he naturally con-
~tinues his operations to as great an extent as possible.
People have become so intensely interested in discussing
prohibition that they are inclined to overlook the fact that
the real problem is just what it was orignally-the havoc of
liquor.
1t took generations of education and publicity to arouse
the people to the evils of King Alcohol. The righteousness of
liquor-to the health, to the home and to the nation-should
be remembered ~indelibly. The details of prohibition enforce
ment are secondary.

The City Manager
As II Works In Norfolk

Norfolk, Va, a city of 115, 900
people, whose city manager has
been called to Stockton, Cal, is en-
ploying another-a specialist of a
tional reputation-at a salary of
100000 a year. The new manager
is an engineer as well as an expert
in municipal administration of ma
tional repute.
Such an announcement today is
taken as a matter of course. Yet it
is only ten or fifteen years since the
employment of city managers, or
professional Mayors, newly discover
ed in Germany by our magazine
writers was looked upon as a quaint
and absurd custom.
The city administrator as a type
has proved his worth in this short
time and is being employed more
and more by wide awake municipal
tiles. This is one of the few ways
in which the American people are
gradually infusing into public BUSH
ness the brains and skill which have
long been successful in private bust
ness.-Albuquerque Journal.
