LAUDER AT PARSONS.

Sir Harry Lauder. famous singer and delineator of homely characters, will appear at Parsons theater, Hart ford next Wednesda! afternoon and evening. According to Npreliminary report he returns to the United States with bunch of new songs. but it is doubtful whether his newer song characterizations will win any greater popularity than many of his old-time offerings. Wee Hoose 'Mang tn Heather" which has not been in cluded in the Lauder program for several years. and which has been re- vived for the current season, stands in a class along among popular Scot tish songs. T Love a Lassie" is an- other Lauder song that fingers in the memory of those who have heard it sung and acted-in the Scottish min strel's inimitable way. Another old favorite. "Roamin' in tn Gloamin' |" is also among the reviyaIs. These old and new songs. with others, will be offered in generous measure dur Ing Lauder's Hartford engagement. It is still possible to obtain seats for the matinee.

 NECRASTHENIA

Neurasthenia denotes condition of pathologic fatigue of the entire nerv- ous system. It is sort of nervous ex- haustion or undue sensitiveness which by continuation may result in com- plete nervous prpstration. The onset of this trouble ushally occurs between 20 and 50.
 In younger persons this condition produces such conditions as over sensitiveness, chorea est. Vitus' dance) especially in young girls, in sonnia and night terrors.
 In such attacks where heredity is partially to blame, the real begin- ming of mental disease and melan- cholia is noted.
 It is also true where these' condi- tions affect the children, that the par ents often lack mental control and are subject to frequent attacks of irritabil- ity and anger.
 The advanced neurasthenic type may be traced to many casual condi- tions Injuries are a frequent menace. The nervous condition is almost ir- repressible in many of those who have gone through some narrowing wreck or accident. Severe mental and physi- cal work, worry, lack of proper rest. improper diet, thoughts about one's self regarding lack of success. defeat of ambition or long continued sexual disorders are other causes. Acute in- fectious diseases play havoc with the mind of many persons and cause a lowered nutrition in all bodily func- tions.
 If you have any of these symptoms have a complete health examination at once. Staying home for day or two is Of no remedial value. Treatment of the severe nervous types of ncurasthenia requires time and great care. Those cases which. show weak ness and lack of capacity for centcr- ing the mind on details must have rest and careful diet under a skilled phy- sician's orders.
 The conditions which have im- paired the bodily processes have been undermining the powers of digestion, circulation and proper secretion, as well as motion and sensation.

 did it reluctantly, and the first thing that was disclosed was the six thousand dollars in a roll Of bills
 There" I said triumphantly. you see it is exactly as she said. She had put money here instead of taking it out"
 Jack snatched the bills away from me and hurriedly counted them. Then. shaking them in my face. he exclaim- ed: Do you for one moment think that Ruth Ellington coul sell six thousand dollars worth of under clothes in that messy little shop of hers in one day? tell you she is a thief. Her husband sent her this money 10 pay of his creditors and he probably has sent her other money before this which she has used to put up that shop of hers. And now she is dragging you into the mess. tell you. Leslie. right now I shall put lien on this money tomorrow and also on the shop. asserting that she has used money that belongs to me.

When Rsggedy Ann, on the How [ looms back returned to the Cookie house she was surprised when she did not sec Raggedy Andy, the Snitz- noodle, little Weekly and the Cookie people anywhere about.
 When we left, they were all sitting around the house." Raggedy Ann ex- plained. ''so that if Hoolsie the Gob- lin tried to escape. they could capture him and punish him for being in the Cookie house."
 The Howloon wondered what could have happened too, but he could think of nothing to explain. so he just kept silent and wondered.
 Raggedy Andy walked around to the back door. but could see nothing.
 How strange." Raggedy Ann said.
 Indeed. it was strange! So I shall tell you just what happened after She Howloon and Raggedy Ann had left 10 go to Hookie's house after the long iron bar.
 Raggedy Andy had gone around Co the kitchen door 10 watch there and the others had picked out other places to watch.
 Raggedy Andy sat upon the back porch.
 Finally the kitchen door opened just a tecny crack and the Gobiin's nose pocked out. "Shhi Raggedy Andy!'' ihe Goblin whispered.
 "Yod'd better come out. Hookie the Goblin!" Raggedy Andy said. Don't you know that it is wrong to go into another persons house? That is what policemen are for. to arrest people who do as you have done.'
 "Ha." Hookie the Goblin laughed. i. Who is afraid Of any old fat police 1 man, I'd like to know? If a police 1 man came around here 10 arrest me, I'd wrestie him. that's what"
 'Yes you wouidl" Rsggedy Andy replied. T guess you don't know how good policemen can wfestle, l guess!"
 Well. anyway. Raegedy Andy" Hookie said. What I want you to do Is 10 take this bucket to the well and I fill it full of water for me. l have eaten all of Mrs. Cookies cake chick en and cake turkey and cake duck and have nibbled all the candy icing off of the parlor chairs. and l am ever and ever so thirstyi-'
 You can go to the well yourself.

esty believe she'd make wonderful mother for those children, and enjoy the experience if it wasn't for one thing"
 She paused tantalizingly, but, a trife piqued, I did not ask her mean- ing, and after a seconds amused scrutiny of my face, she laughed lightly.
 Second thoughts are best. they say" she chanted, "so I think, on the whole, won't tell you my mean ing just now, but let you find it out for yourself. I'll give you this much of a hint, however. You can read it in Harriet Braithwaite's face, if you happen to catch her off guard when she and her husband are with the Harrison children"

Mister Hookie Goblinl" Raggedy Andy said. He was thinking how mean the Goblin was for nibbling the candy covered furniture.
 Just think how you would feel. Raggedy Andy, if you had eaten 50 much and was so thirsty. Would you want a drink too?"
 "Yes. would!" Raggedy Andy re- piled as he took the bucket and went to the well. But just as he stepped upon the porch Hookie stepped out the door to take the bucket of water. This was just what Raggedy Andy wanted. so he caught the Goblin and started to wrestle. When the others heard the scuffle the Snitznoodle wanted to give the Goblin a thump.

SIR HARRY LAUDER.
Many New Britain Admirers to Sec . Famous ScOtchman.

The appearance of Sir Harry Lau- der, celebrated Scotch comedian. at Parsons theater in Hartford next Wednesday afternoon and evening, will attract large number of his ad- mirers in this city. His appearances in this section of the country have been so limited that many will not fail to seize this opportunity to hear and see the Scotchman with his kits and his crooked walking stick.
 He has an entirely new line of songs for the Hartford appearance, and besides these, he has prepared n program of old time fayorites for those who like to hear them.

Many persons say they have no ap. petite for breakfast and want only a cup of coffee.
 But school children and men and women who must work need whole. some food to break their fast and start the day.
 If the luncheon must consist main- ly of sandwiches the breakfast should provide protein as well as starch and fat.
 A large dish of ell-cooked cereal with plenty of rich cream is almost perfect breakfast. Served with crisp toast and either fresh or dried fruit such breakfast is well balanc- cd and satisfying enough for the aver. age needs.
 But many find rich cream on hot cereal difficult 10 digest and the me- cessary amount of cereal 10 carry a busy person through the day so largo that it becomes impossible.
 For these a breakfast of bacon and eggs with bran or corn meal muffins should be planned. Fresh or stewed fruit can be chosen.

 Breakfast should be a pleasant, at- tractive meal, but the woman who

but Little Weekly said. No. That wouldn't be fair when Raggcdy Andy Is wrestling him!"
 The Goblin and Raggedy Andy wrestied each other off the porch and down the path. First one wrestled the best. then the other. until they had Wrestled each other way of into the wood. And that was where they all were when Raggedy Ann and the Hovloon returned.
 Raggedy Ann opened the kitchen door and walked in. We will wait here until they return" she said as she cleaned up the mess Hookie had made.

does her own work should devise breakfasts requiring as few dishes for washing as possible. To this end one- course breakfasts will help.
 If the cereal can be combined with the fruit, well and good. But if not serve only the fruit and let the main part of the breakfast be hearty enough to satisfy without a cereal.
 Griddle cakes made with eggs French toast, mullins made with eggs are protein foods to some extent, but do not supply sufficient calories to make a hearty breakfast. Eggs poached, boiled, in an omelet, shirred, lightly scrambled. served with toast, furnish the simplest and quickest pro- tein.
 When cereal is served do not serve hot cereal mullins; use crisp buttered toast.
 Apples
 Even if you are dependent on ap- pies as your chief breakfast fruit there are many different ways of serv- ing them. A cold. juicy apple makes a most acceptable appetizer If the men won't take time to eat it, it's worth any woman's time to pare and quarter. remove the core and arrange the quarters neatly on a plate just be- for breakfast. No man can resist an apple that's all ready for him to eat.
 Orange juice and grapefruit juice are always good. A little sugar should be added to grapefruit juice.

INVITE MAYOR AND RIVAL
 TO ELECTION DAY DINNER
Lions Club Votes to Ask Paoncssa
 and filling 10 Attend Lunch con Next Tuesday.

At meeting of the Lions club held at the Burritt hotel this noon
 1t was voted to invite Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa and Judge B. N. filling 10 attend the luncheon of the club next Tuesday, April s. election day.
 The speaker of today's meeting was C. r. Langdon. chief engineer of the Factory Insurance Association in Hartford. Mir. Iangdon took for his topic Fire Loss and Fire Protcc- tion." The speaker submitted statement of fire losses and showed that the loss from fire alone amount ed 10 about SIC a second, or S960 q minute. In the United States the fire loss amounts to Si.75 per capita each year. The speaker said that many people have inc impression that the fire losses are paid for by the in surance company or by the policy holders. MT. Langion then cN- plained that it Is neither the policy holders nor the insurance companies that bear the losses but the people.
 Taking cotton for an example. the speaker told how the cotton was in- sured Tn the neldS, Tn ihe warehouses, aboard ship. in the presses, and last ly in the department stores, and that in every instance where the product is insured the cost of the article is fixed with the item of in- surance added to the cost The speaker then explained that it is in this way that tho cost of fire losses come directly 10 tho people.
 The speaker read a number of statistics that showed that so per cent of the fires during the year of 1929 were attributed ot carnlossness in one form or another. According to statistics drawn up hy experts the chief cause of fires is attributed to smokers and fire loss caused in this way is placed at s26, 6,o0o.o00.
