By transferring the motor pumping engine to No. 2 station and installing the flying squadfon at the central house the department, I think the southern section of the city will be cared for.” As further argument against the building of the new fire station, the mayor declares prominent builders have assured him ‘that a suitable station cannot be built for less than $15,000, exclusive of the site. He will, however, recommend the expenditure of $1,500 for a site. - EXPERIENGE *n ydu doubt the evidence of this W Britain woman? fou can verify New Britain en- erent. y d this A.

The mayor says he will recommend only the repairing of Park street be- cause he feels that at this time the city should retrench on its unneces- sayy expenses. Referring to the op- pouition to any plan for the abolish- meiit of the new fire station this year, Mayor Quigley states that his firm owny about $60,000 worth of prop- erty ,in that district and he has as muc Yhinterest in its welfare as any- body, but he does mnot believe it is necessary this vear, or does he be- lieve it ta Be good policy to spend any more than ig absolutely necessary to keep the city running. - A twenty mill tax rate, the mayor thinks, is fairly low when it is con- sidered that the school board estl- mates this vear are approximately $40,000 mare than it was a year ago, and dlso that the' payment of bonds and the plaging of money in the sink- ing fund totals about $75,000 more. In addition o other items, there is a county tax this year of about $14,000 that was not imposed a year ago. —_— TEACHERS' CLUB SOCIAL. Pleasant Event Avranged for Evening A of May 8.

An unusual and compMcated situa- tion was made apparent in the appli- cation of the workingmen's compen- sation law at a conference yesterday in Hartford between Commissioner George B. Chandler, Edward C. Con- nolly and Miss Elsie C. Osborn, pro- bation officers of this city, and a rep- resentative of the Aetna Insurance Company relative to the compensa- tion of $6.08 a week for twelve and two-third weeks for Toni Paska of this city, injured Feb. 8, 1917, while employed at the plant of North & Judd. How the spending of this com- pensation can be regulated wais dis- cussed at length, it being claimed that he spent the last installment in such a manner that he landed behind the bars in Hartford jail. Payments stopped while he was in jail and have not been resumed. His original mjuries were such that the index finger of his right hand was OHNSON 159 MAIN STREET Tel. 961. New Britain Ct. amputated at the first joint. Because of the claim that he had a weakness for intoxicants, it was agreed that the compensation should not be paid to him unless he was accompanied by j Probation Officer Connolly. Commis- sloner Chandler took the matter un- der advisement, NEW POLICE MAY PROBE ‘THE HILLY RES[IRT‘M o s o e Revelations Made to Them by New Britain Girl Absolute proof of the subtle and | 'sinister operation of the nefarious “cadet system” in New Britain for some months past with a resultant hu- man harvest is in the possession of Police officials as a result of ‘disclos- | ures made by nineteen years old Min- nie Dobruck of 29 Harvard street, who was committed to the House of the Good Shepherd by Judge James T. Meskill yesterday. Evidence is . possessed by them that the alleged re- sort of ill repute between Springfield and Holyoke, Mass., known as ‘the Hills,” has received a number of young women and girls from this city, seduced from home by suave- talking and well-dressed strangers, and is a popular destination of “joy ride” outomobile parties from this city. A number of the wonien and girls sought by the authorities as ‘“mysteriously missing from home” have been named as recent residents of the resort. At present, according to the admissions of the Dobruck girl, there is but one person from this city at the resort now. The authorities lave her name. As a result of the disclosures, it is expected that “the Hills” will receive the close scrutiny of federal officers, as well as state authorities. Accord- ing to the admissions of the Dobruck girl, she was a victim of the “cadet system”, was encouraged to leave the city by a visitor to this city of foreign descent. She claims, according to the story admitted to have been told to the police, that he was responsible for her going to “the Hills”’ and there is a suspicion in her mind that there was a financial transaciion between. ‘her friend” and those in charge of the re- sort. Although local authorities are reticent as to the course to be pur- sued by them, it was today intimated on good authority that federal . and Massachusetts authorities have been acquainted with the admissions of the Dobruck girl. ‘The authorities have been unable to conifiect her in any wey with the mys- teriously slaying of Charles A. Taft over a month ago and they admit that, directly, she possesses no information of valud in solving the mystery. Ac- cording to information given, several lccal people of standing saw her come out from Hartford on the last train the night of the murder. Under the close questioning of the police, it has been. ascertained, however, that New Brit- ain and Hartford chauffeurs are ac- customed to take “joy ride” parties from these cities to the Massachusetts resorts. Information has been given that Taft had taken parties from both this cily and Hartford to “the Hills"” on numerousd occasions. While the Dcbruck girl claims to know nothing of the murder, directly, it s believed that some of her former companions City ltems - . Dancing at Holmes & Hoffman’s Thursday night. Lynch’s Orch—advt.

Winters, the wedding of Francis Raymond Hoole and Miss Elizabeth Maria Kitson took place at 9 o'clock this morning at St. Mary's church. Mrs, Joseph Fraw- ley, sister of the bride, was matron of honor and Charles Hickey, brother-in- law of the groom, was best man, . The bride was attractively gowned in white satin and pearl trimmings with picture hat to match, and she carried a shower bouquet of white roses.

S ————————— TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA Grandma kept her‘locks dark, glossy and youthful with a simple mix- . ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. The ‘old-time mixture ot Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair . is grand- mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a goed, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage, Nowadays, though, we don’'t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound” for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a de- | lighttul tollet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease, TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1917, DIRECTOR RESIGNS. H. B. Humason Will Not Accept Re- election at Y. M. C. A.

It is understood that Mr, Platt’s decision to permit his same to be used was made only after a number of his friends had so urged him. Many people in the first ward feel that Mr. Platt would make an ideal represen. tative in the council as he is entirely independent of political strings and Wwould not have to seek favors from any one.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co. and all druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poison- ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physiclan says about Rheuma: “I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recom- mend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em- ployed in the treatment of rheum: tism, and altogether different in com- position from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. Lyons. This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confldence to try Rheuma. | | i This Simple Laxative A Household Necessity Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Should Have a Place in Every Home. Constipation, or inaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly every- one experiences with more or less fre- quency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach, ! foul gases and poisons are generated, apd unless the congestion is quickly relieved the system becomes weak- ened most susceptible to attack. Various remedies to relieve consti- pation are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combina- tion of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that js sold in drug stores un- der the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. The Hon. John D. Keister of Bran- dywine, W. Va., who nas represented his district in the State Legislature for six years, writes that he uses Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and finds it a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild, yet positive, in its ac- tion, and that it should be in every household for use when needed. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents a bot: drug, does not gripe, and is recom- mended as a family enough for the tiniest babe, yet suf- ficlently powerful to act easily on the strongest ‘constitution. To avoid imitations and ineffective ! substitutes be sure to get Dr. Cald- ! well's Syrup' Pepsin. See that a fac- { simile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and | his portrait.appear on the yellow . ¢arton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle free of charge, can be § obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald- Tlinois. One Cent a Word Each Day Pays for a Classified Adv. in the Herald.
