MANY PEOPLE WILL GO WITHOUT TURKEY, Price of Thanksgiving Dinner is Going to Be Higher Than Ever. ‘The price of turkey for Thanksgiv- ing is going to be nigher than ever this year. In fact, Thanksgiving dinner will cost more us a whole. Not only will turkey be higher, but the price of practically oll the accessories will be increased. ‘The price of the festive bird has not been definitely established, however. Dealers are agreed that the price will be higher, but none are able to quote prices at yet. It is too early as yet to be able to give aefinile prices and one dealer stated that if any definite price was given it was on frozen and storage birds. One dealer deciared that 'the price of turkey will be u trifle higher, but not enough to make any d‘fference. He expected that the price would range from 30 co 45 cents a pound, while another dJeclared tnat turkey would be at jeast 15 per cent. high Turkeys sold at from 24 to 35 cents a pound last year; this year they will be not less than 35 and as hish as 50 cents a pound for western and north- ern_ birds. Native turkeys arc very scarce and they will bring high prices. Needless to say. most of the turkeys which will grace the Thanksziving table will be imported and the number of native turkeys used will be negligible. It is quite probable that many peo- ple’who have haq turkeys in years past will go without this year, and conse- quently there is an increased demand for the humbler chickens, ducks d geese, and cven for roast pork, and poultry raiders are preparing to do a big_business. In many other places of the state turkeys will not only be expensi ut they will be scarce. In this vicinity native birds which have in years past been raised in large numbers will be extremely scarce. Native turkey in Stonington is quoted at 60 cents a pound. Potatoes and turnips are consider- ably higner than last year, ard other vegetables will also cost a trifie more. Cranberries, however, are stated to be at a normal price, as ‘s lettuce. Fruits and nuts are about the same as last year. MAIN STREET FIREMEN ENJOYED COON SUPPER. Appetizing Menu Was Served at the Station Wednesday Evening.

Had it not been for the life belt, Mc- Auliffe would have been precipitated to the pavement below. He was stand- ing at the top of the pole working on a trolley guy wire. 3 The accident occurred on the pole at the corner of State and Bank streets. In its fall to the sround the rung of the ladder struck ome of the arms on which a White Way light Was extended, smashing the globe. CREATED DISTURBANCE ON NORWICH CAR.

DMore significance naturally sttaches to the decisions which may be arrived at than was the case with the less influential conference of neu- tral socialists held at The Hague some menths_since. The programme, as published here, aims at establishing - common action with o view to directing the policy of their respective coyntries in the di- rection of non-annexation, the guar- anteeing of the rights of the nations, by international institutions, and the clusion from all economic treaties of everything that would contain ' the germs of fresh conflicts. It will be Te. lied that while the International So- alist Bureau is still in touch with $he parties of the Cenral Empire as wcll as of the entente countries, it has not yet succeeded in its ultimate ob~ ject of bringing all socialist parties together again on a common agreed policy in regard to the war. It is doubtless hoped that the coming Bon- don_confereace will bring the desired goal nearers 4 Meriden.<Nctices have been sent to stockholders of the Meriden Gaslight company of a special meeting to be held Dec. 12 to consider-the advisa- bility of incrcasing the. capital stock from $500,000 to $700.000.

Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast, & of hot water with a_teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and . bowels the previous day's indigesti- ble. material, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal| before putting more food into the: stomach. Just as soap and hot water cleanse and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the eliminative organs. 5 Those who wake up with bad breath, coated tongue, nasty taste-or have a dull, aching head, sallow com= plexion, acid stomach; others who are subject to bilious attacks Or com- stipation, should obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphats at_the drug store. This will cost very IHttlé but is sufficient to demonstrats thé of inside bathi Thoss who coritirue it each morning are assured of pronounced results, both in re: gard to health and appearance. s -
