Sole Distributors for New England States «deood Cr eamery Butter BABIES AT WOMEN'S FARM COST STATE MORE MONEY Because of the birth of sixteen ba- bies during the past year 10 inmates of the Conneoticut State Farm for Wo. men*at East Lyme, the directors have been obliged to secure an additional appropriation of §40,000 from the state board of control to meet the expenses of the institution until financial aid can be obtained from the legislature. An appropriation of $75000 was made by the last session of the leg- islature for the maintenance of the in- stitution at Last Lyme for two years. The appropriation for the first ~ year went a long.way, but the stork came so often during the past year that the en- tire appropriation has been exhausted and more money is needed at once. DI- rectors of the state farm explained to the board of control that the cost of raising the bables consideraify exceeds the cost of maintaining adult inmates, who can be put to work In the fields and elsewhere about the farm to help earn |vast research problem that it presents, their board.

The place was intended to acoommodate between forty and ffty inmates, but there are now seventy-! eight women there, and fourteen bables —two having dled—making & total of ninety-five. Under the law ettablishing the state farm, babies cannot be kept thers after they become two years. The mothers are discharged from the institution to do housework In private familles, principally, and they are then consid- ered to be able to provide for the sup- port of tieir bables. In cases where the mothers are not able to care for thelr children, the authorities of the In- stitution have them placed in private homes, and there has been no difficulty in_getting them placed up to this time. Inaddition to the maintenance fund of $75,000, the last session of the leg- islature also appropriated $150,000 for the erection of a new reception building, a water plant and a sewage « disposal system. Some of the $40,000 which the board of control granted as a special ccutive officer of both bodiés, an- nounced the itemized estimates of .the health department budget as follows: Administration Preventable_ dise Vital statistics Child_hygiene Laboratory Engineering Antitoxin Industrial wastes .

The manufacturer ‘has to make a profit, and no cigar dealer will sell a cigar at cost, B0 when the 10 cent cigar is eold, it costs at least 15 cents and they will 200n cost even mare.

Generally, these cigars cost four cents each a year ago but are mow five cents, each,-and it is predicted that they, t will feel the raise in cost of tobacco, and go up to six cents. Then will be gone that most cherished heritage of the good old days of five cent schoners, 18 cent cheese and pickled cabbage— the five cent e¢igar. Food is going Cigars are going up. down.
