HERE'S WHERE YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET Milk Campaign Statistics-Watch for Your Milkman’s Name In this space daily appears the re- sults of the laboratory examinations of milk sold in New Britain. While the health department makes a full chemical and refractive examination of each sample, only the amount of fat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or- der that the reader shall mot be con- ffsed by an array of figures. The average milk contains from 3.5 per cent. to 4 per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 8.25 per’ cent. fat. Milk should be clean, but a mere trace of dirt does not signify a dirty milk. On the oth- er hand, there is a no excuse for milk containing a small or large amount of dirt. The housekeepers can do as much toward making, the campalgn a success as can the board af health by reporting to both their milk dealer and | the health department any adverse condition they find in the milk they buy. This daily report will continue throughout the month and later a full report will be made of the sanitary condition of the dairies in the city and on the farms.

TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS Most growing girls need a tonic, especially during the years when they are springing up most rapidly and when their appetites are most fickle. A diet of tea and candy will ruin any girl’s chances of future happiness. A plentiful and scientifically correct diet next to impossible. Hence the need for a tonic.

MORE ABOUT SUNDAY Speaker at Methodist Church Praises Evangelist and Compares Him to Abraham Lincoln. “Billy” Sunday, who recently closed a campaign in Boston and who is to | be asked to institute an evangelical campaign for Hartford and New Brit- ain people in the capitol city, was again the theme at the Methodist church yesterday when Franklin W. Gonse of Boston spoke on the famous evangelist. Mr. Gonse _ assisted Mr. Sunday during *his Boston campaign and was able to form a better opinion of him than people who met him but once or twice. Mr. Gonse told the lo- eyl churchgoers that, in his opinion, Sunday is similar to Abraham Lincoln in many ways and both have exerted a beneficial influence on the world. Mr. Gonse declared that Sunday is an educated and talented man and does not use the uncouth slang that has made him famous be- cause he knows no better. once asked Sunday why he used the slang expressions he did and was in- formed ““God wants me to use that language, or I would not do it. I want to get the Voung men and the older men to hear me. I want an op- portunity to speak to them directly so they will understand me, and that is the way I have of doing it.” To an- other query as to why he uses slang, Sunday asked a critical clergyman how many he had in his congrega- tion. a good average the evangelist replied that that, number would be his aver- age too, if he used the best of Eng- dish. Comparing Lincoln and Sunday, Mr. Gonse sald that both were born of ignorant parents and what education they obtained they worked hard to get. Although Billy Sunday’'s prayers and sermons sound wold, uncouth and irrevelent when read in newspapers, the preacher’s sincere manner of ex- pressing them verbaily takes away any such idea.

TICKETS 50 CENTS BELGIUM’S PLIGHT Minister Describes How Germans Forced Poverty on Country ‘Washington, Jan. 29.—Minister Ha- venith of Belgium issued a statement last night denouncing as untrue the German government’s contention that deportation of Belgians for forced la- bor is a soctal necessity on account of unemployment resultisg from the British blockade. “In reality, what has happened is the exact contrary to the statement of Germany,” said the minister, “and, as Lin the case of the deportations, it is of .affairs upon which they have after- ward endeavored to establish the jus- tification of the illegal measures taken by, them. “On:June 29, 1915, the legation of the king formally and officially pre- tested against the-seizure of raw ma- terials amounting to,$17,000,000. Oth- er official protests have been,made un- der dates of December 29, 1914; March 4, 1915, and October .20, 1915, against the seizure of machines and tools renuisitioned by the Germans in Belgium and ‘sent into Germany. “Belgian industries having = been thus prevented from continuing work, there followed an increase in the ! number of unemployed, due entirely to the actions of Germany, who has not hesitated to sacrifice Belgian in- | terests, as, indeed, General von Bis: i sing openly acknowledged when he re- | cently declared he was not in Belgium | to watch over the interests of that | country, but to take care of .the in- | terests of Germany. ¥ | Country Saved From st-rmtiom +“The German government in its commurication note.to the American government, then takes up the matter of the financial burden which this ‘state of affairs imposes upon Bel- gium. Tt is sufficient to recall briefly that Gérmany has wilfully disregard- ed all its obligations toward the oocu- pied country. It was the direct duty of Germany to feed the population. However, had it not been for the in- itlative and good will of citizens of the United States the Belgian population would today be dead from starvation. “The legation of the king recalls also that Belgium (which, even ac- ording to what Germany herself is for the moment without com- merce and without industyy) is sub- ject to a war tax amounting to $8,- 000,000 a month (more than ten times the amount of ordinary taxes in time of peace); that she has paid this tax since the beginning of the oc- cupation of her territory, and that, in addition, she has been subjected to requisitions of all kinds which Ger- many has imposed upon her and which have made a desert of certain parts of this unfortunate country. “Public opinion will judge whether it appertains to Germany to speak of the financial burden 'which Belgium endures to feed her population when this burden should be borne exclu- sively by Germany. “When Germany had thus reduced to idleness a large number of work- men she decided to export them into Germany, to liberate in this way an equal number of German workmen, who would rejoin the German army in the field. This plan was conceived long time in advance, as one may see by reading the official orders of the German government. 5 More Than 120,000 Exiled. “Today it is no longer a question only of the deportation of the unem- ployed. According to information re- ceived by the government of the king, employed and unemployed—all those whom the GGerman government thinks that it can utilize—are deported to Germany. The number of these un- fortunates is today more than 120,- 000.” Defending the refusal of his coun- trymen to labor voluntarily for the Germans, the minister gaid: “Is there a right more sacred than that of refusing to contribute to the augmentation of the effective of the armed forces of the enemy? This is not only a right—it is a strict and im- perative duty for every good citizen, and the legation of the king is glad to be able to state that, contrary to the ACCOUNTANCY AND aration needed, cte, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION New Term Opens Wednesday Evening, Jan. 31, 1917 An educational program worthy of the careful consideration of Business Men and those who wish to prepare for Business tigns of responsibility—Pace Standardized Courses are given, ranging from 17 weeks to 2 1-2 years—Employed men may prepare for creased capacity in private employment or professional C. career—No interference with business duties.
