GUNNERS’ DON'TS. A Few Pointed and Valuable Sugges- tions If Carried Out Are Ad- vantageous, The Fall gunning season is about on, and every year the hunting brings with its spoils in the form of hu- man sacrifices. For the benefit of gunners who are planning to go after game this Fall, the following list of don't is given: Don’t take any chances. The func- tion of a shotgun is to scatter shot, but be very careful where you scat- ter it. Don’t blaze away in haste and don’t get excited.

AMERICA’S GREATEST CIGARETTE est. Tt is always the gun that “we didn’t know was loaded” that goes off and does the damage. The only time to point a gun is when you in- tend to Kkill. Don’t take every rustle of a bush or a bough to be a sure indication of game. Remember sometimes an in- quisitive person has a penchant for being in strange places. Don’t carry a loaded gun through the street or on cars, trains, automo- biles, or any other kind of vehicle, or leave it around farm houses to have some child playfully blow a head off. Don’t get excited and shoot without making sure that your object is game. Don’t shoot until you see the rab- bit, and then be sure that he is clear of both man and dos. Don’t drag a gun under a fence with the muzzle pointed toward you. Don’t hunt with anyone t hat you gun or lean it against a tree until you get over. Put it through the fence and on the ground business end before. Don’t hunt withanyone that you know to be careless. Carelessness with three and a quarter drams of. powder behind and one and one- eigth ounces of shot in inviting “sure death.” Don’t load your gun until you are actually ready for business. At all other times it should be empty, Keep your finger off the trigger until you are looking down the barrel at your .| game. Don’t use a cheap gun, as it is apt to explode when a heavy charge is used. Don’t borrow a dog or gun or loan either. Don't rest on the muzzle of your gun. Don’t violate the game laws. It s not only criminal but sometimes very costly. Don’t “hog” all the game. Leave a little behind for the next fellow. Don’t rest the muzzle of your gun on the ground. A gun muzzle clog- ged with dirt or mud is a dangerous proposition, “SPEECHLESS” BANQUET., San Francisco Telegraphers to Hold Event in Honor of Edison. San Francisco, Oct. 19.—A ‘&peech- less” banquet with the customary ad- dresses, arranged by San Francisco telegraphers in honor of Thomas A. Edison, telegraph operator is to be be held at the San Francisco club tonight. At each speaker’s place a telegraph key with miniature poles to carry the wires around the table has been arregsed.

NEW HAVEN INCOME SHOWS INGREASE Elliott Submlts Report to Stock- holders of Road New Haven, Oct. 19.—The board of directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad by its chairman, President Howard Elliott, has submitted to the 26,517 stock- holders of the road its report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. Chairman Elliott reports the net in- come for the year was $2,307,971.43, an increase of $2,039,308.56. In his statement, which fills a pamphlet of seventy pages, Chairman Elliott sub- mits such data relating to the railway and other corporations embraced in the system or in which it has an in- terest as will show the results of the operations for the fiscal year. On the subject of dividends, Chair- man Elliott says: “The first three months of the cur- rent fiscal year show marked im- provement in the earnings of the com. pany, both gross and net, but your di- rectors cannot consider the declara- tion of any dividend until they are assured of the permanent financing of the company. The amount of the pos- sible loss in the sale of the properties that must be sold by order of the fed- eral court, the existence of the large floating debt, and the need of money for making improvements, all affect the ability of the company to pay divi- dends. It is hoped that the valua- tion of the property of the company now being conducted by the Inter- state Commerce commission will re- sult in an increased value over that now shown on the books and to that extent will offset any loss in the sale of the properties that must be sold under the decree of the court. $92,135,064.44 in Dividends. “From July 1, 1902, to June 30, 1915, the property has paid to its owners in dividends $92,135,064.44. During the same period it has paid in wages on the New Haven and sub- sidiary companies, the net earnings of which helped to make up the divi- dend fund (except Boston & Maine and New York, Ontario & Western) $402,488,881.53. “The last two years have been the most critical in the history of the company,” states Chairman Elliott, “and there has been difficulty in maintaining its integrity. In the last annual report you were fully informed of the terms of the proposed settle- ment with the United States govern- ment. This settlement was con- firmed by a decree of the United States district court for the southern district of New York entered October 17, 1914, and the securities were transferred to the trustees appointed thereunder. Since then these trustees have been in exclusive control of the respective properties, namely, the Boston and Maine railroad, the Con- necticut trolleys and the Rhode Island trolleys. Validated 1,571,179 Shares. “The Massachusetts general court validated the 1,571,179 shares in the hands of the public and the stock- holders, at a meeting held in New Haven, April 24, 1915, authorized the retirement of the 228,991 shares held in the treasury, which shares were subsequently retired and cancelled. “Short-term notes to the amount of $29,705,000 will mature between Oc- tober 1, 1915, and June 30, 1916, as follows: October 26, 1915, $375,000; December 14, 1915, $75,000; Decem- ber 28, 1915, $550,000; January 14, 1916, $1,705,000; May 1, 1916, $27,- 000,000. “Since July 1, 1913, there has been a widespread depression in business, affecting adversely the earning pow- er of your property, for example, the gross operating revenues compare as follows: “For the year ending June 30, 1913, $70,458,790.09. “For the year ending June 30, 1914, $67,452,592,01. “For the year ending June 30, 1915, $65,379,263.71.

They are nervous and therefore unstable in their de- portment.” It has also been found by other investigators that ‘‘children who drank coffee averaged from one and one-half to more than four pounds less in weight, and from one-half inch tc more than one inch less in height, than the children who abstained froin ccffee. They were also found to have an average of three pounds less in hand strength than the children who never drank coffee.” NOTE—Many parents have found it to their children’s advantage to give them Instant Postum as the hot morning beverage instead of coffec. This delicious food-drink resembles coffee in looks and flavor, but is en- tirely free from the disturbing coffee drug, caffeine, or any other harmful ingredient. A Hint to Mothers | of Growing Children A Mild Laxative at Regular Intervals Will Prevent Constipation. A vital point upon which all schools of medicine seem to agree is that nor- mal regularity of the bowels is an es- sential to good health. The im- portance of this is impressed par- ticularly on mothers of growing chil- dren. A very valuable remedy that should be kept in every home for use as oc- casion arises is Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin, a compound of simple laxa- tive herbs that has been prescribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111, for more than twenty-five years, and which can now be obtained in any well stocked drug store for fifty cents a bottle. In a recent letter to Dr. Caldwell, Mrs. H. C. Turner, 844 Main St.,, Buf- falo, N. Y., says, “I bought a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin for my baby, Roland Lee Turner, and find it works just like you said it would. It is fine for the stomach and bowels.” A bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup ROLAND LEE TURNER. Pepsin should be in every home. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Further Reductions. ‘““Some further reductions can prob- ably be made from the proceeds of property sold and from earnings, al- though the necessity for improve- ments and betterments is likely to take all surplus earnings until a definite financial plan is effective. “The total debt of the company, the hands of the public, excluding contingent liabjlities, but including the New England Navigation company gold notees, for which the New Haven company is responsible, is $264,385,- 100.00, which means that for every $100 of stock the company has $168.- 28 of debt.” The amount of pensions paid dur- ing the year was $176,276.25, and the cost of the company account of the federal act reguired valuation of rail- roads amounted to $90,887.74.

I had been a sufferer for more than twenty years from kid- ney and liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most emi- nent physicians who could only give me temporary relief. I had been in bed ten weeks when I began the use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty- four hours I could see that I had been greatly benefited. I continued to use Swamp-Root until I had used sev- eral bottle when I really felt that my old trouble was completely cured and I am positive that any person suffer- ing with kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this prepara- tion. I am now in the best of health, bet- ter than I have been for ten years or more. I do not know how to express myself as strongly as I desire, in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as I am sure that it saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer and am confident they can be benefited as I have been. It is a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation. Mrs. H. J.

An event of much importance to people who desire to own their own home will take place in New Britain, Saturday, Oct. 23; Monday Oct. 25, and Tuesday Oct. 26. At this time people with a limited amount of capi- tal will have an opportunity to lay the first stepping stone to a home when the choice lots on Lyon, Lim- wood, Columbia, Brooklawn and Mun- roe street extention will be offered for sale at public auction and on very easy terms that will suit the man with limited capital and put him in a position to save a few dol- lars each month and encourage him to own a plot of ground on which to build a home for himself and those depending and dear to him. If it were not for this method buy- ing, ninety per cent. of the home owners today would still be rent pay- ers. After the first payment is paid one cannot realize the enthusiasm it puts into ones body and soul to ob- tain a home for himself. It is not being an individual pleasure, but one that is given to the whole family and a duty that is due them, for an in- vestment unexcelled.
