OPENING OF MILK STATION Institution at Corner of East Main and Center Streets to Be Opened for Public Inspection Next Month. During the first week of May the new quarters of the milk station at the corner of East Main and Center streets will be thrown open for the inspection of the public which sup- ports it. It is hoped that every one interested In the city's welfare will avail himself of this occasion to see in operation this important agency | for the good of New Britain's babiés. Here, day after day, one can see in these light, clear, convenient, in- viting rooms the ounce of prevention being administered in many forms, while the pound of cure is also avail- able when conditions demand it. And it is through preventive measures rather than through remedial ones that this organization aims to work as, more and more, its possibility for help is understood by those needing its services. A few interesting statistics, avail- able at this time, indicate that even now this characteristic—the prevent- ive phase—is prominent in the serv- ices of the milk station. There are "at DESERVEDLY POPULAR ! HORSFALL- HATS FOR MEN The “Advance,” the “Home Guud," the “Wave”—the smartest of the season’s shapes in the new colors—Seal, Nile, Burmah and Italian Burberry.
