 Tax Lists Called
 The annual call for the tax lists or Berlin property has been issued by tho board of assessors and a schedule for their meetings has been arranged. The board Is departing from it's custom of swearing in lists and now calls particular attention to the statute which requires each per- son and every corporation liable to give in a list made and sworn to. The only excusable circumstance. would be the taxpayers inability 10 read or write in which event the board of assessors will swear in the lists. Hitherto the members of the board have. in most cases, made out and sworn in the tax lists as pre- sented. This year the lists must be compiled and sworn to before pres entation to the assessors. Lists can be procured from the assessors and town clerk or at the Berlin bank.
 The following places have been established for the receiving of lists: East Berlin, F. G. Kramer's resi- dence, October 23; Blue Hills, J. NJ. Taylor's residence. October 23: Ken sington, Berlin bank, October 25 and 26; Berlin Town hall, October 29, 30 and November 1 All lists must be in not later than November 1 after which there will be the GUS tomary 10 per cent added.

No Bill Submitted for
 Court Officials Auto

Money due the city for storage, repairs, gas and oil for the car used by Probation Officer E. c. Connolly in his work was not paid because the garage commission sent no bills and it was not possible to determine the amount owed, the probation of ficer said today.
 The car is run out of funds of the police court end neither the judge nor the clerk of courts has ever received a statement from the municipal garage. 1t was claimed to- day. The garage commission at its meeting Thursday night voted to de- mand payment for services and ma terials furnished the Connolly car both under the present and the for mer garage commission.

STATE ELECTION
 TAKES LIMELIGHT (. ", Stevens and Mrs. Lardner
 Top Election Interest WOMEN'S VOTE A FACTOR
Estate of Thomas Kenney Appraised mt S5,918-Last Day for Swearing in Voters-Call for Filing of Tax Lists.

With the town meeting over and the state elections due next on the slate, local voters are scanning the lists of each party in preparation to picking their choice to answer the roll call from this district when the Hartford assembly next meets.
 The outstanding figure on the re- publican ticket is Claude w. Stevens of Kensington, who has three times represented this town in the law fac- tory, twice as representative and once as senator. Stevens has been a supporter of the League of Wo- men Voters and expressed himself in favor of the recent nurse ques- ton.
 The democrats have chosen Mrs. Edward J. Lardner, a prominent member of the party and a popular resident. Mrs. Lardner is one of the foremost workers of the league and has a following both within the or ganization and among residents out side of the association.
 With two candidates in the field for support from the all-important league. it is not known just which one the Kensington organization will elect to throw it's votes against. It is thought by~most politicians in this place, that the association will dis regard the past support of either candidate and vote according to the members individual preference. The recent town elections proved that the league as a voting power was capa- ble of disturbing fixed majorities.
 An Explanation.
 Many of the attendants at Thurs day evenings town meeting have asked this paper why the unsigned letter read by Major Frank l.. Will COX was not included in the .eport cf the meeting. It was generally thought by those present that the letter had no bearing on the ques- ton before the house at that time, that it was capable of creating III feeling between certain factions of this town, that it was scurrilous any that 1t had no place in any report given of an official meeting Of the town. With the general feeling that it should never be read, the Heidlc saw no reason for it's inclusion in d report of the business meeting of the town.

Suspenders.

If you were living in Europe you
would soon come to think Of the belt
as an American contrivance, because
few Europeans, young or old. wear
belts. But young boys wear sus-
penders for two reasons-they sup
port their trousers and their stock
ings.
Older boys wear the kind OF sus'
penders their fathers wear, and their
needs are easily attended to. AS a
matter of fact, few older boys In
cities like to wear Suspenders be-
cause they see them mostly on old
men. Still the custom tailors declare
that trousers can only hang right
when they are supported by sus-
penders.
Younger boys wear suspender
braces These consist of a sort OF
skeleton waist, which has garters at.
tached for the stockings. and belt
to which the trousers can be but.
toned. This Is q very convenient way
of dressing the young boy and 1t as
sures neatness. The garters should
not be drawn too tightly or the boy
will tend to slouch In his walk
This style comes only In sizes for
boys, 6, s, 10, IL and IA years. OF
course, the braces can usually be ad-
justed, and the sizes aren't inf1exible.
The best way to buy them is to try
them on the child in the store, and
make certain that they are wide and
long enough. Sizes vary, and some
children are big for their size, too.
For smaller boys pantfe- waists.

Clues to Character
BY ]. o. ABERNETAY.
The Sign of Obesity.

There is Il scientific reason why
some people grow tat while others
STAY thin--nu matter how much or
how little they eat. So don't blame
,he man or woman for being rat,
blame nature.
The faculties of appetite and growth
are large in persons who tend to
stoutness. They have a supreme
sense of hunger when their bodies are
in need of nutrition. They digest
their food well. supplying it very
thoroughly to their bodies, and make
the mos, OF ii little food when plenty
cannot be had. Therefore. they grow
D. ump and lat quickly. without any
effort.
Lean persons do not have these
faculties so well developed, and they
get little nutrition from the food they
eat because their digestive organs are
not active.
The faculties of hunger and growth
are located just forward from the top
half of the ears. When large they
expand this region and give fullness
and breadth to this part OF the head.
In all persons who are fat, or will in
time grow lat. you will find these
signs stand well out, while in the lear
ones there will be d depression in pro-
portion to the size of the head.
Sometimes this sign is not fully de-
veloped until in middle life, though
often it is plainly discernible in early
youth. The greater the width. the
fatter he or she will be as the years
roll by.

Something to Bite On.

A child has to have something to
bite on. He has to push those teeth
of his through against resistance and
gums are not resistant enough. al
though at times they seem stubborn
as whalebone. A teething ring Is Il
comfort and a help in this trying
time.
All his life long the child will need
something stiff to bite on. He must
meet a certain amount of resistance
to call out effort enough to make his
attempts register. Without resist
snce there can be no effort to amount
to anything and without effort there
is no real growth.
When the baby first tries to stand
up he sits down with great sudden
ness. He places both hands down on
the hard floor in front of him and
pushes himself up once more only TO
stagger an instant and collapse in 4
soft heap.
Now if you do not know that nd
ture has prepared him for this per-
formance you will try to soften his
falls. You will place him on a bed
or on a pillow. But the baby Will
not make the same effort to stand up
as he made on the stiffiy resistant
floor and you will put him back, again
and let him take his bumps. lie has

She was beautiful as she had never

look to her face that made his breath

WINTER
Feeding the Birds.
by d. C. PEATTIE.

AS write, sitting close to my
south window. ] can see in little
oak not 4 feet away a handsome little
field sparrow merrily pecking away at
a large chunk Of suet. He has been
busily breakfasting for Is minutes
without making any real inroads upon
the suet. In the course of q day one
may see there juncos. rose breasted
grosbeaks. cardinal birds. bluebirds.
bluejays. nuthatches, chipping SPAR
rows white-throat sparrows and
many more.
There is nothing like offering a
few hospitable inducements to the
birds to collect the tribe of feath-
cred friends about you. I am 90
fortunate as to live in the woods.
But even when I have lived in a city
apartment I have found that a little
suet tied to the railing Of the back
porch would attract more birds than
ever imagined could be found in the
crowded sections Of q great city. The
suet. which I got weeks ago from
the butcher. cost me exactly cents
I have had s25 worth of pleasure
watching the birds that came to feed
on II.
It does not have to be explained
to anybody that Winter is hard
times for bird as well as man. The
pickings at this time of year are
pretty slim. And now that the snow
covers the ground, no dinner for th4
birds Is to be sought under old
leaves. The least one can do in
common pity Is to toss out your stale
bread crumbs on the snow.

kept quiet until the hens had gone
back and had stopped talking auout

he did the same thing over again.
This time the hens became very
indignant. They were a noisy lot,
those hens. Each seemed to think
that her neighbors had been greedy
and had gobbled up all the food.
They were quite out of sorts to
judge by their voices. They made so
much fuss about 1t that Mrs. Brown
came to the door to see what the

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
moderately favorable. They do not
denote any great degree Of success
nor do they indicate any adverse in
f1uences The recrea tions and OBJ
servations usually associated with a
Sunday can be safely indulged In with
out any fear being felt OF untoward
consequences. In the evening the con-
iitions become more distinctly har-
favorably affected. 1t is good OPP
portunity for plighting of troths. and
the signs presage that any engage
ment made under the conditions that
prevail will end In a happy marriage.
Children born tomorrow give every
promise. according to the signs, of
being physically normal: all they will
need will be regularized nutrition and
plenty of fresh air. Temperamentally,
they will not be very submissive, but.
at very early stage, VIII assert that
they have wills of their own. This
situation. in their case, can best be
met by forbearance and love. Any en-
hibition of or attempt at force would
only defeat the purpose for which it
was called into action. They will pos.
seSs both strong and attractive per-
sonalties, and are bound to achieve
success in any line of endeavor to
which they devote their efforts.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have very little self-control. and
your emotions master you quickly and
easily. When excited and 1t is very
easy for you to get worked up" you
act hastily, and often foolishly. For
tunately. however, your better judg
ment soon asserts itself, and you are
anxious to make such amends as the
OCca sion demands
Your passions are deep, and you
love or hate with intensity. You have
a great deal of pride, not the foolish
sort, and love to command, and there
Is no doubt that you are well fitted
for such a role.
II your mate was born in April or
August, your home life should be

ditons are doubtful.

Your Baby and Mine
How to Help the Doctor.
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp.

! There is often d very good reason
why doctor fails to help your child
when called in Unexpectedly for the
correction of some trouble with the
diet: or for sudden, but indetermi-
nate. illness. Mothers are so fustered
at the appearance of a doctor that
they seem incapable Of giving him
any facts about the child that win be
helpful. They also fail to remember
what the doctor Celis them to do and
then afterWard they assert that they
had doctor and he didn't do a
thing for the child. Often a child is
SO spoiled that when Il stranger
comes near him he screams and cries,
refuses to he examined. and the doc
tor Is helpless.
When your child becomes i'll and
feverIsh and you feel he needs a doc
tor. take some account of his condi-
ton and write II down. Ii he has a
temperature and you can read a elm
ical thermometer, note the tempera-
ture as well as the bowel movements.
Put down exactly what the child had
to eat that day and the previous day.
Don't forget If he overate Of any one
food. Take note of any unusual
things. Did he fail to take his regu-
lar maps? Did he cry more than
usual? Was he restless and irrita-
BILE? Did he vomit? Each and every
one of these small symptoms will
help the doctor In coming to some
definite conclusion. and will help him
in treating the child. After all. a doc
tor is trained to diagnose an illness
by signs which indicate certain con-
ditions: he is not clairvoyant or a
miracle worker
Suggest to the child before the doc
tor arrives that he is coming to see
him: that he is nice: that he. the
child. must help the doctor to find
out what is wrong with him and
make him we'll. All children should,
early in life. be taught to show their
throats freely and to submit to ex-
animation. Playing that the mother
Is the doctor and making a game of
these things will rid them of any
frightening Significance. and when
the doctor does need to be called In
the child will enter into the exami-
nation In the spirit of a game. and
will greatly aid himself by helping
the doctor.
