New London, Sept. 22.—There are a great many people residing in the city of New London at the present time who can readily recall that “pea- nut politics” campaign inaugurated by the mayor, or perhaps the last of those who have been honored with and time are considered in connection with one's definition of success. itten Specially for The Bulletin.)

There arc farmers whose talk is so solely about it and whose thoushts are always upon it. The very fact that there are such dis- closes one difference:—other farmers are inclined to look on such ‘“erit- ters” either with pity or a sort of mild contempt. They are not looked up to as sound business men nor even as good farmers. The fact that they celiberately make money-getiing their avowed aim leads their ncighbors to dislike them as “misers”, or to sncer at them as “skinflints”, or to avoid them as “too stingy for anything.

Mr, Geary years ago was an acknowledged leader of tne party and was of such prominence that he presided at a democratic state convention held in the city of Water- bury, and declined nomination on the state ticket. Since retiring from poi- itics Mr. Geary has attended strictly to his law business and has achieved prominence and success at the bar. He was born in Waterford and spent his early life there. A few years ago he moved back to his native town and his residence is one of the most at- tractive in Waterford. Mr. Geary's friends over the line urged him to reenter politics and he yielded. “He went as a deicgate from the town to_the democratic state con- vention in New Haven this week and captured the coveted position of state central committeeman for the Shoe- string district, perhaps the largest in the state. It will not take Mr. Geary long to size up the political situation in the district, and it satisfied there is chance of demoeratic success, he may succeed Benjamin- H. Hewitt in ihe state senate. If this would cdme to pass the district would surely have a Senator worthy the name, and the state have the benefit of progressive and business-like service. A quarter century or more ago, Mr. Geary had ambition to represent New London in part in the state legislature, but the activity of Mahan prevented. Several years later he accepted nomi- nation for senator from the old ninth district but was defeated b ya slight margin, and ihis defeat was attribu- ted to the Mahan influence. These are some of the reasons why Geary and Mahan never shook hands when they happened to meet on the streets of the city. But now Mr. Gewy is back in his native town and his true worth is known ihere just as well as it is in New London ,and ne will be welcomed as the political Moses. His coming back will prove a valuable ac- qusition to the democratic part: as he is not only an active and efficient worker, but he is one of the very best public speakers in the state of Con- necticut, The annual city mesting to consizer the recommendations ot appropria- tions of the court of common council, will be held next Monday morning ana the old court house, or rather the basemen: thereof - will not be large enough to accommodate the multi- tude, as all who are interesied in the direct expeaditure of the appropria- tions recommended will see to it that their friends are at the meeting to aid in the passage of this or that ap- propriation. There have been scveral increases made in the regular apro- priations, but none are more descrved than the apropriation that will make possible the increase uf the salaries of the menibers of the police’depart- ment, who put in more time than any other city employes, and arc not only the poorest paid in the city service, but receive less pay than the members of nny otuer police department in Connecticut. When the council recom- mended this increase the members ted justly and it is believed the oters ‘wiil concur. There are many recommendations that are not justified by the financial condition of fie city, are uncalled for at this time and are unwarranted by the existing conditions. The recom- mendations for appropriations total is more than has ever before been recommended by the council to city meeting, and should all the recom- mendations be adopted it will bean a substantial increase in the taxes, which are already burdensome to the great majority of property holders in New London. In making up the bud- zet, some of the minority aldermen. after opposing in vain, declared that frer all it wouid be best to put the increased recommendations directly before the people who must pay the bills in increased taxation. The New London democrats sent a delegation to the state convention op- posed to Bryan F. Mahan and Alton T iner, that is a majority of the delegation, and strange to relatt, the voice of Mahan was the only voice of a New Londonerer heard in the con- vention, and Mr. Miner who was mo- toring in Maine was nominated for state comptroller. What's the matter? Was the New London delegation with- out influence outside of the senatorial district? Senator Miner was _not nomirated by a delegate from New London but his name was presented by Christopher L. Avery of Groton. The senator has had legislative exper- ience and being a successful business man, and tinged with politics,. he would make an admirable comptroller. But of course the nomination was merely honorary, as there s no possi- bility of a democrat being elected to state office in the cuming election. ELEPHANT ISLAND. One of South Shetland Group— Shackleton Tells How Men Amuse Themselves in the Region. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C. Sept. 22.—Dur- ing the last two vears the civilized world’s _sensibilitics have become deadened to the shock of human cas- ualties esttmated by the thousands and the tens of thousands on the bat- tlefields of Burope but that man- kind's sense of sympathy for human suffering and an appreciation of her- oism have not become blunted is forcefully demonstrated in the deep interest manisfested in the fate of a band of 22 explorers of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic __expedition who were rescued from Elephant Is- land. The following bulletin was is- sued today by the National Geo- graphic Society in Washington on this island and the Shackleton expe- dition: : “Tt will be several weeks, probably, before the world learns whether Sir Frnest Shacleton meets with suc- cess in his fourth attempt to rescue from Elephant Island the 22 men of his Antarctic expedition to whom he £aid farewell on April 24th when with five companions he set sail in an open boat, 22 feet long, to cross frozen seas’ for a distance of 750 miles in search of succor. The story of this wonderful voyage was given to the world when. the leader of the expedi- tion reached .Port Stanley, Falkland Tslands, the last of May, after hav- ing first attempted to rescue his com- panfons by sailing from South Geor- gia Island in an_ 80-ton whaler, but was turned back by streams of pack- ice.

To look one’s best and feel one's best is to enjoy an inside tath each morning to flush from the system the previous day’s waste, sour fermenta- tions and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the biood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustibile ma- terial in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a _certain amount of indigestible materia¥, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which ars intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in yvour cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kid- and- buwels, thus cleansing, etening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Men and women with shallow skins liver spots, pimples or pallid com- plexion, also those who wake up wiif. | a coated tongue, bad taste, masty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced re- two wecks. pound of limestone phos- | very little a: the drug store ‘but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, o hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs.

In fact we had been hungry for over three . But we had one consolation; we were able to talk about food and we talked about it from morning tn- til night. We were living now on three portions of half-cooked horse meat and four biscuits and two cups of cocoa for the daily ration. We £ot up every morning at twen utes to five and got under way quarter to seven. Well, when W warmed up on the march we would begin and we would say, “Now bo: we are on the ship again.

C., Sept. 22.—Many American tourists have stopped over night in the Trappist monastery where, according to a report recently pubiish- ed in a Paris newspaper, the youthful Prince Maximilian died of wounds in the third month of the European war. After nearly two vears of mysterious silence concerning the fate of this member of the roval family of Ger- many, it is now said that Hazebrouck is the place of burial of the Kaiser's nephew. This town is only a few about 18 miles from Ypres where the Germans in their first onward drive toward the sea were definitely checked by the flooding of the lowlands,” ac- cording to today’s war geography bul- letin of the National Geographic So- ciety, issued from its Washington headquarters: “When peace is eventually declared a search will doubtless be made in the humble little cemetery of Hazebrouck to recover the body of the royal sub- lieutenant and carry it back to his mother, the youngest sister of the kaiser. “The fighting to the east of Haze- brouck was exceptionally severe dur- ing the early months of the war, for this French town of 12,000 inhabifants is a place of extraordinary strategic value, owing to the fact that it is the juction point of railroads leading to the North Sea port of DunKirk, 25 miles to the north; to Arras, 70 miles to the south; to Calais, 38 miles to the northwest, and to_Lille, 29 miles to the southeast. The German advance nev- er reached as far as Hazebrouck. The battle line now runs north and south between Lille anl Hazebrouck, about 15 miles east of the latter. “The town of Godewaersvelde, where Prince Maximilian is supposed to have received his fatal wound, is the last village before crossing the French border into Belgium on the Hazebrouck-Ypres line.
