And when a man returng from work, at night, sits down to supper and finds shortly ‘after that he 1is unable to retain that which he has eaten because of nausea caused by odors from the operation of a puisance near the place he has worked, he is not able to stand. it. ‘He does not. wait to make formal, gentle complaint. He is very apt to “ring up” headquarters and say some- shing very definite about it—especial- 1y when the nuisance has been a long- continuing one. The “headquarters” of the city is in the office of the Mayor. Such are some of the complaints that find ir way there. ! When that official is roused out of ‘bed to hear some complaint of this sort, couched in desperate, determined words, he is apt to partake some- Mg of the feelings of nausea that affected the complainer. ‘When -he finds that the nuisance is one which has been ordered abated something over a year before, at a time when & man was at the head of the health Qepartment who is there no longer, he ¥s inclined to feel a desire to do something about it. If he has plenty, of -re@ blood' in his vems his' action may ‘be drastic. 5 Such are the cases that bring to the Mayor of a city disgust with de- Jay, if he is trying to serve the people. Such cases undoubtedly bring dis- couragement to all city officials. In the case of the alleged nuisance out near the Hart & Hutchinson plant, of which employes of -that plant and others have complained, _and which, needless to say has noth- ing to do with that plant, whatever the technicalities of the law those technicalities, it is believed, would not prevent the ordering of the shut- ting down of the plant at once. Those who oberate the affair certainly have had constructive notice, if mot the notice required by the strict letter of the law. They seem to (be entitled 10 no consideration. Taking all the circumstances of the case, it is be- Meved no court would hold the city gesponsible in damages to the oper- ators of the plant, because of the forced shutting down of it. In cases of this kind the need of fmmediate action is seen more clearly than in the innumerable other mat- ters that come up in the transacting ot city business. But immediate action, results, are the things demanded by the people. It this incident accomplishes noth- 4ng else it will serve to show clearly that, no matter how honestly persons thaving charge of the different af- fairs of the city may be trying to do good work, there will be trouble if Muick results are not obtained. —_— NOW WE MAY ALL DO IT. . It’s all right. Men may now modi- £y the strict formality of their dress and revel in a bit of comfort. Men will no longer be obliged ‘to observe the oppressive rules which have for- bidden them from any attempt at getting relief from the hot weather. Perhaps, just perhaps, men may go as far as to remove their coats’while eating a meal at home. Of course this is carrying the thing pretty far, but, as indicated, the facts which have come to light show that infor- Inality is quite allowable. This statement is made after the deepest consideration of news just re- ceived from Madrid, Spain. It is de- clared that “the extreme heat of this summer has melted the ice of Span- ish Court etiquette, causing the ruling out by royal order, of the frock coat and top hat as the prescribed attire for the Cabinet Ministers when they call upon the King.” Of course there is no situation ex- sctly similar to this in America. We must act in accordance with deduc- tions based on this vitally important fact. ‘We have no King. But most every young man has a “Queen.” If he knows her real well he may venture to remove his coat, perhaps, while possessing districts. If she objects he may quote the decree of King Alfonso. Perhaps the husband, even, in the presence of the ruler of his home, may venture to thus remove his coat. He may dispel her wrath by similar reference to the King. Thus we may feel tremendously re- lieved. Humbly we thank the King | for mis consideration. TUBERCULOSIS TALK HERE. Some time ago Dr. David R. Lyman head of the Wildwood spoke before a convention of Vvis nurses and directors of their organi- zations, in this city. It was one of the opportunitie§ that come to people here to learn facts re- garding matters of vital moment. Tho statement yesterday of a resi- dent physician of that sanitarium, that conditions in Hartford in regard to the tubercular ex-service man are very serious indeed, and that the fault lies mainly with the ex-service man himself because of his failure to take the proper treatment provided him, and to continue it, should be heeded by everyone, ex-service man or civil- ian, and heeded immediately. Tuberculosis is practically curable if taken in time and if the advice freely given is followed all through life The longer the delay in beginning treatment after the first indications have appeared, the fewer are the chances that the disease will be cured, and the more strict will be the pre- cautions necessary to be taken in after life to keep the disease under control. It is practically committing suicide to allow the disease to get hold of one without taking immediate steps to stop its progress. The heeding of the advice of a man who has been in tuberculosis work in Connecticut for seventeen years, may save many lives.” If a victim begins treatment the moment the first indications appear, continues that treament at the sani- tarium, whither he may go until he is discharged, and keeps on living ac- cording to the advice given him at such a sanitarium or by a physician [who understands the disease, there is no reason why the former sufferer may not live long and happily. But he must never forget for a moment, if he is to remain free from the disease, that it will return to him if-he fails to continue observance of the directions given him as to exer- cise, overdoing and other matters which mus$t govern his actions as long as he lives. The situation in Hartford is prob- ably the situation in New Britain and ather placés: & The tubercular maun, as well as oth- ers, should make their first business in life the attending to this danger now, at once, before another day has passed. A failure to do this may shortly end that life. The chance for a cure is given. The man or woman who neglects to use that chance com- mits a crime against himself or her- self, against the community and against those yet to be born into the world. HINT OF THE ARBITRARY. The action of the Senate Finance Committeé in favoring the bill approv ed by President Harding to give S retary Mellon power to conduct *he negotiations regarding the fundiugz of the allied debt to t! United States, subject only to the ap- proval of the President, appears to be a strong bit of evidence of the possi- Lility of a momentary return to oae- man government. Tle failure of the proposed amend- inents to the bill, giving Congress tha final review of the arrangements made, gives the same indication. '"hus far it has not been said of Pres- ident Harding, nor was it said of Can- Gidate Harding, that there was auv NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 192i “JEST RUMINATIN’.” (Robert Russell.) A feller starts to ruminate— which scems quite right an’ meet, But ’fore the dreams get very far—hy's troubled by the heat. He- thinks o’ fields an’ flowers, for he woa't admit defeat, But stili he’s troubled by the sun an’ everlastin’ heat. He calls to mind that shaded pool—that leafy. green re- treat— But thoughts o' beauty don’t dispel the glarin’, wearin’ heat. He leans far back in his arm- chair; he boosts aloft his feet, But though he finds more com- fort thus, he can't shake off the heat. He trics to think he’s drinkin’ cool, soft beverages sweet, But, that don’t cool him off nor drown thg frizzlin’, sizzlin’ heat. At length he has a happy thought—he turns a phrase that's neat— He goes to work in earnest an’ forgets that thing called “Heat.” For, as a panacea for most ills, work’s hard to beat— 'Twill make a chap forget worse woes than e'en ex- cessive heat.

It is said that women of New York are using less quantities of aids to the complexion nowadays than formerly which is apropos of the fact as sta‘ed by New Britain druggists that si seems to be thé case in this city as well. ch From a combination of these facts, if indeed they are facts, one is clined to believe that the reacti>n from recent extremes in the dress aud in- accessories of women and girls, pre- dicted some months ago, has begun to set in. As one rather convention«l woman remarked,after admitting that siie was half old-fashioned and half new-fashioned in her beliefs regardiux ilie proper attitude women would take, “but I hope that there is never a return to the ‘perfect lady’ days.” It is supposed the woman who m: this comment desired to indicate that while she believed in a certain mode - o1ion in dress and a proper limiting of ihe freedom of woman, she trusted ihat woman would never be again piaced in a glass house whence shz —_ FACTS AND FANCIES i { — BY ROBERT QUILLEN — In the matter of trimming innocent by standers, the dogs of war have very little on the hogs of peace. It will seem more like the road back to normalcy when it is filled with moving crops.

Daly HEARTLESSNESS ] Do you mean to tell me, sir, ting here and watching her, That old Time would dare to blur Face so fair? That the unrelenting years, With their rivulets of tears, Shall efface a love that cheers, Everywhere? Secing her, as we do mnow, With no furrow on her brow, Makes me hope that Time somehow, May forget; May forget and pass her by, Leaving luster in her eye, Saving her from sorrow’s sigh And regret. If I had the magic power I'd protect her ev'ry hour, Anad be careful that the shower Spinning gold On her hair, in the sun, Kept its sparkles, one by one, And yet she should always shun Growing old. I would pledge her life should be Full of youth and ecstacy— And I'd ask the same for me By her side. Here and now I would bestow On my love, and keep it so, All the sainted joyful glow Of a bride. For it seems to me a crime That such beauty, youth sublime, Should be taken in its prime Off the stem; Should be faded by the sums, Shot at by the Seasons’ guns, Slaughtered, as they killed the Huns, Love, the gem. 1 agree with what you say: That old Time, upon its way Piling years up, day by any, Has 7n heart; d ap Fa Fleisher’s Shetland Floss —Regular 22c, for 19¢ ball. 40-inch for in rlain, white and red bord- Saturday 15¢ each— Hair Nets—Regular 15¢ Stay Fast and Fenway Cap Shape Nets, 10c each, “McMillan” Special Double Mesh Hair Nets— of ] P ALWAYS SPECIALS be: quality, 4 yd pieces for 9c. st SUMMER Dresses formerly Voiles, Organdies, and Combinations.
