The 675,879 registered vote of 1882 in Connecticut will be surpassed this fall is the report now current. The 1884 estimate is set at 705,000 That's heavy vote. If it is tabulated it can mean but one thing, the independent voter is having his say.- However in 1882 the vote cast was 568,- 900, which left over 100000 stay-at-homes. That's not good showing for Connecti- cut.

s' Deposit insurance seems to be encour- aging savings in the United States, recent reports show. Right here in Connecticut 1O9 licensed banks showed deposits of $424, ,153, ,O0O as of June 30. It was an in- crease of $28,50O,00O since the end of De- cember, 1883. Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Con- pany, stated in connection with the an- nouncement, 'I believe the confidence en- gendered by deposit insurance has been an important factor in promoting this sub- stantial increase in bank depositing." There can be no question about it. The figures certainly prove it to be true. And here is another feature of the New Deal that must be regarded with favorable eyes by all those who regard the Rooseveltian methods of administration somewhat as- kance. Deposit insurance wasn't thought so highly of year ago. It looks right now like settled thing.

Cecil B. DeMille, the motion picture director, says that good English is pass ing out of style. Americans will be talk ing in grunts in few more years, he pre- diets. We don't think it is quite as bad as that, but there is certainly tendency upon the part even of educated people to resort to ejaculations and slip shot language in daily conversation. There's chance for the movies to prove an educational force in the land Start right on the present crop of movie actors and actresses. They could stand plenty of improvement in pronunciation. In this one respect the stage is far ahead of the cinema.

morning" She exercised a fascination be-
cause she reveled in the joy of life. She
barked at except the miIkman.
Soon after she had squirmed her way into
our heartfelt regard, came the horrible sus-
picion that any dog so versatile and gifted and
replete with the artful charms of her sex, must
have had home somewhere before she came
into our lives. Talent could not go undis-
covered. even at beach resort. We thought
it would be the fair thing to put an "ad" in
the paper and try to find the former owner
We didn't want to find him. but We didn't want
to carry the guilty feeling of having kidnapped
a genius. We tried to TX up an "ad," but
couldn't do it because no one could make out
whether she was wire haired or fuzzy. In
her various moods she had the thespian gift of
looking like several different kinds of dog in
the short space of five minutes
We telephoned some people who had lost
dogs and they came around to look at Sadie
and she didn't belong TO any one of them and
not one visitor spoke nicely of her. After that
we sheltered her from the world and adopted
the sentiment spoken by David Warield, IF
you don't want her, want her" 1t was voted
that Sadie should not be sent to the dog
catcher locked up in the garage and left
behind us or turned back into the cold world.
You see, We had to come to some decision,
because We were packing up and getting ready
TO make the long trek to the North. The
mere suggestion of deserting our new friend
aroused bitter indignation throughout our con-

Sadie. Why did she adopt us and
move In on us, at our plaStered
hacienda, away down in Florida?
Perhaps she shifted faint odor of hospitality.
Instinct may have told her that a grouchy old
bachelor who had stubbed his own toe couple
of times would be more forgivng, more willing
to let the dead past be buried than a double
chinned lady owning a priZe-winner whose pic
ture had appeared in Country Life. Maybe she
thought we were conducting a rescue mission
which We were.
Certainly she was full of timidity. She was
stricken with trepidation when she began to
hang around premises She seemed to be
sorry for everything that had happened up to
that time. She appeared to be seeking forgive
ness without pretending to deserve it. She
was sinking furtive and. apparently. had no
definite plans beyond the firm intention of
making our home her headquarters.
After she began to get two hot plate specials
o day and found a soft couch in the garage,
her whole program of life was revised and,
with pleasant future seemingly assured, her
demeanor toward the benefactors suddenly
changed She became emotional and acrobatic
in her expressions Of love and gratitude. When
she saw food approaching she arose on her

stances.

viding rest and medical attention for 80 dogs,
all at one time. His place is out where the
Everglades begin. A real rest cure for any
dog who doesn't object to listening to the
yelping and barking of 70 other dogs.
DOC" gave the cold facts concerning Sadie's
career and pedigree. He said she was about
years old, had been mother, and had so
many different kinds of dog in her that she
was sure to appeal to the affections of any
one fond Of dogs in general.
We tried to appraise her value. doc" said
that her tail and Launches were undoubtedly
bird dog and that a good bird dog worth
resented an approximate value of $40. Much
OF the rear half OF the running gears was
undoubtedly old English sheep dog. The ex-

didn't make any difference what I thought
she was worth. The Government had decided
everything in advance and the actual market
value of Sadie would have to be determined
by the code. He looked in little book and
said that 1891 type of dog of the combina-
ton of makes she represented had trade-in
value Of about 40 cents, provided any one
wished to acquire that type.
! asked him what we had better do about
Sadie and he said that the pedigree and
previous history of dog had nothing to do
with the value of the dog as companion.
He said that many Of our most useful citi-
zens both male and female, had no more
definite ancestry than Sadie could produce,
and yet were held in general esteem. The up
shot of the whole thing that DOC" had
her washed and sheared and manicured and
put through the beauty parlor. We drew the
line at having her claws tinted. Also. he
gave her the surgical attention which made
it certain that she would never again be called
upon to assume the trying responsibilities OF
motherhood. When Sadie came back to Four
teenth street it like the arrival Of Queen
Marie of Rumania at the City Hall in New
York. 1t was discovered, for the first time,
that Sadie possessed not only charm but sheer
beauty.
\AE COULDN'T undertake to chaperon two
Wv dogs in one car so We went out to buy
crate in which to ship our adopted child
by express. 1t appeared that every one in
the world had gone out of the dog-crate
business but finally found Mr. Ludlam
over by the East Coast tracks He was a
builder Of porch furniture, but had a gift, on
the side, for constructing attractive single
apartments for dogs. He knew how to place
the water bowl and how to clamp down the
jar containing food. and there was door at
one end so that Sadie could come out at any
time and visit with the express messengers.
We viii not go into sordid financial details
or mention the fact that boy was paid four
bits to entertain Sadie until train time and
then put her safely aboard. She was here
when we returned and dare not tell about
the reunion or ! might just plain break down.
She has large dog house all to herself and
when she is at liberty she roams the whole
north end of Indiana. Probably she has dis
covered more highways in our part of the
State than Mr.. Dillinger, who ESCAPED from

plant mother desires strong, healthy
seed-babies, and she has perfected
this plan, to avoid having her own
pollen fall where it should not.
Her face is composed of five dainty
petals, and after the stamens have
discharged their pollen on the first
guests, the styles become long, and
the feathery stigmas now open and
curve sidewise. They meet at the
entrance of the five cornucopias,
where the anthers were seen at first.
The five petals form into very slender,
hollow spurs. which are rounded at
the tips and joined together below
by the five spreading sepals. There
are many stamens and five project
ing pistils.
The flowers are solitary and are
seated in the upper leaf-axils. The
stem is from l TO feet high, hairy,
and supporting greenish-blue leaves.
They are more or less divided, and
along the lobes there are rounded
teeth. The caterpillar Of the dusky
wing is found on them. The seeds are
found in erect pods of five compart-
ments that are sharp-beaked at the
tip.

Worrying.

IF YOU are ambitious to look dis
tinguished by having a lot of
wrinkles at early age, the sooner you
start worrying the better. But If you
think wrinkles are more intristing on
other peoples faces, leave them do the
worrying.
Some people can do their duty with
out worrying about it, while others
never worry even if they don't do their
duty. 2 diffrent people like that awt
to proberely get married to each other
and divide the results.
One of the werst worryers Is your
mother whenever you or your father
happen to be a little late for supper.
especially about hour. The later it
gets the more and more sure she is
that you are being run over If you
haven't already been, and when she
finds out she's mistaken she's so re-
lieved she stays mad for half a hour.
If everybody that advises other peo-
pie not to worry stopped worrying
themselves there wouldn't be any
worryers left in the werld or anybody
to worry whether there was or not.
This would make the werld more
cheerful but proberly lot of more
things would happen to worry about
because there wouldn't be anybody
left to worry in time to stop them.
This proves human nature is good
thing the way it is, especially for the
lucky ones.
Worrying spoils the appetite and
upsets the digestion, so starving
man on a desert island could proberly
60 ahead and worry all he wanted to
without making himself feel much

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

60 GOES the beautiful Song of
- the Chattahoochee" by the eminent
Georgian poet. Sidney Lanier. The
State of Georgia so valued the services
of members of the Habersham family
that it named for them the county
through which the stream, the Chat
tahoochee runs.
The first representative of this fam
lily in America was James Habersham,
who came over from England in 1873
and settled in Savannah. He was one
of the first exporters of cotton to
England. Among useful Offices rem
dered 10 the Southern colony were
, those of secretary, councillor and royal
governor of the province.
James Habersham, son of the foun-
der, became Speaker of the Legislature
of the State of Georgia, and Joseph
Habersham, later descendant, served
as lieutenant colonel in the militia.
The Habersham family is descended
from the ancient and honorable house
of Habersham of Beverly, in Yorkshire,
England.

vegetable hemaglobin, aud exactly as
does the human skin depend for its
rosineSs or peach bloom color on the
human type, hemaglobin.
We recognize the anemic very quick
ly by the absence of the normal color
of the skin, its pallor. and We know
that hemaglobin is deficient, which
nearly always means that there are not
enough red cells to carry the normal
amounts of this necessary element Of
blood.
From time almost immemorial, we
have given mineral or metallic iron for
anemia, and for just as long We have
been disappointed with results, simply
because the body is unable to appro-
pirate this mineral form, but we can
take the normal organic forms of iron
in the green leaves and the highly COL
ored fruits and thus obtain an iron
that is suitable because usable.
If the diet is rich in these sources
Of hemaglobln and represents normal
amounts Of alkaline elements, with the
consequent vitamins. We will not suf-
fer from anemia, unless at the same
time we are creating such vast amounts
of acids as will make the normal al
kalin intake insufficient.
We cannot make hemaglobin out OF
anything that does not contain iron in
organic form, so however else we man.
age our intake we are under necessity
of combining plenty of fresh fruits and
greens with our food, if We would
escape a deficient creation Of hema-
glcbin, or anemia, in other words.
When we reflect on the Importance
of the hemaglobin in organized flesh
and of chlorophyl in all vegetation, we
cannot fail to be impressed with the
wisdom of including in our daily diet
much Of these vegetable carriers of the
materials we must have if we are to
create sufficient of this carrier of oxy-
gen and carbon for our daily activi-
ties and our healthful function.
Bring the colon up to date with the
daily enema and eat freely of those
foods containing plenty Of chlorophyl
and at the same time keep down acid
formation by use of sparing amounts
Of the acid-forming group of foods.
