PULLAR & NIVEN HEALTH BOARD DOES NOT GIVE CONTRACT Two Are Submitted by Hide and Tal- low Dealers, But Must Be Investigated. The board of health, at its special meeting yesterday afternoon, did not take any definite action regarding the awarding of a comfract for the,priv- lege of collecting hides at the mu- nicipal slanghter house, but tabléd the two contracts submitted in order to make further investigation. The Later Hide and Tallow com- pany of Hartford which, under a ten- tatlve contract, has been doing the janitor work at the slaughter house for the past six weeks, submitted the same bid which was previously agreed upon. This company, for the right of erecting a small hide store house at NOTED SPEAKERS AT UPLIFT CONFERENCE Care of Dependent Children Topic for Meriden Mecting Secretary Roy Smith Wallace of the Philadelphia Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children, Secretary lobert H.

A five year contract would be acceptable and the company also intends to purchase a $2,500 au- tomobile truck to facilitate the work here, if it receives the contract. Nathan Cohen of Ansonia was the only other bidder and he offered to do the janitor work at the abbatoir and pay the city a cash bonus of $200 per annum for the privilege of pur- chasing all hides at the slaughter house without competition. Mr. .Co- hen said he would pay the market price for hides and would not attempt to intimidate farmers into selling to him on the premises at low prices. All his contract would cover, he said, would be the exclusive right to bid on all hides at the abbatofr.

SAVE YOUR HAIR ! 25 CENT BOTTLE STOPS DANDRUFF of Dandruff Disappears and Hair Stops Coming Out. Every Bit Try This! Your Hair Appears Glossy, Abundant, Wavy and Beautiful. Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute ‘evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair asdandruff. It robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very iife; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which If not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die—then the hair falls out fast. A little Dander- tne tonlght—now—any time—will surely save your hair. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first ap- plication your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so teautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of sbundance, an incomparable gloss anq scftness; but what will ple; you most will be after just a few weeks' -uge, when you will actually see & lot of fine, downy hair—new hair— growing all over the scalp. Danderine is to the hair what fresh thowers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating and life-producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful, GEORGE L. WARREN. section on “Children” of the 1917 Connecticut State Conference of Charities and Correction, to be held at Meriden April 29-May 1. The pro- gram in this section is scheduled for the afternoon of April 30. George L. Warren, general secretary of the Bridg=port Organization society, is secretary of the sub-committee in charge of this part of the program and Superintendent of Schools Stan- ley H. Holmes of this city is a mem- ber of the committee. Professor Fife will take “County Temporary Homes and Their Prob. lems” as his topic, Secretary Wallace will speak on “The Movement in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for a State Board of- Children’s Guardians” and Secretary Kelso, recognized as one of the leading social workers in the country as well as prominent in the organization and affairs of the National Conference of Charities and Correction, will speak on “How Mas- sachusetts Has Met the Eroblem of ‘the Dependent Childi” = ° ¢ The developments which taken place in the public care of children entrusted to the state or county authorities have been towards centralization of authority and su- pervision, invested in a state board. In Connecticut, it is considered that such’ centralization is badly needed. This was one important note sound- ed at the last State Conference of Charities and Cortection at Norwich. All agreed that a further centraliza- tion of authority and supervision in the care of children is badly needed in Connecticut and that there is much interest shown in the ways and means’ of securing this state board of Children’s Guardians, which would have under its supervision, the ad- on to and the discharge from our county temporary homes and, in that way, standardizirg the work of the state care of dependent children. The Round Table session of the committee on “Children” will be held at 9:30 the morning of May 1. Miss Mary Vida Clark, assistant secretary of the New York State Charities Aid association, in charge of the placing out department ‘of the organization with supervision Jf more than 2,500 children placed in private homes, will speak on Trained Service in Chil- dren’s Work; Its Need and How It May Be Secured.” Mrs. M. H. Bay- lor, representative of ., the Boston Children’s Aid society, a much sim- ilar organization, will -'speak on “Placing of Children , Under Four Years of Age in Family Homes.” The care of children, at present, rests on the individual towns, when children are under four years of age. If above the age of four, they are committed to the temporary county homes. At the general session of the section on “Children” the problem of children over four years of age in the count homes will Le considered. Mrs. Bay- lor will discuss the problem of caring for the children under four, a prob- lem that particularly concerns the individual towns. Mrs. Baylor has had a number of vears' experience in Boston in the placing of infants in private families. Her remarks should be of much in- terest to town selectmen and charity commissioners from throughout the state. An attempt is being made to secure a speaker to explain the ‘“cot- tage plan” of institutions and its place in the entire program of child care. ’ Prior to his coming to Bridgeport, IMr. Warren was, for eight vears, dis- trict secretary of the Associated Char- ities of Boston and had charge of that city’s care of homeless men and tramps, who applied for aid. For several years following graduation from Harvard, he was in prison re- form work, along the lines of aiding discharged convicts. He inaugurated numerous reforms along this line and was, for a time, a director of the John Howard Industrial Home, an institu- tion for alding discharged convicts. At the 1916 sesslons of the National Conference of Charities and Correc- tion at Indianapolis, be was a mem- ber of the committee on the unem- ployed and is & member of the com- mittee on thke family and the com- munity for the 1917 sessions of the National Conference at Pittsburgh i June. have Maters of the and Egyptian e — e W e e e o em am Grade Trkish in the Wrld ; GAR, I CIG, NI = REMEMBER— Tarkish tobacco is the world’s most fomous tobaccoforcigarettes.

In such cases Duffy’s pure M At wnis should be used on account of its absolute purity, and every household ought to have a bottle for just such emergencies. Coughs and colds persist because the resistance is below par, and Duffy’s, taken in tablespoonful doses, improves the diges- tion and assimilation of food, which in diseases of the respiratory tract are always impaired, and succeeds in giving a resisting tone and vigor to the body. It is truly a remedial agent for the mucous membranes, which accounts for its remarkable efficacy in relieving coughs, colds and grip. People who have overcome these complaints by the judicious use of Duffy’s know that the intelli- gent treatment of colds, begins by prevention and are particular ta ““Get Duffy’s and Keep Well” Sold in Sealed Bottles only.
