One contemporary says that. staying
at home is a habit. It is a habit that
some could cultivate with benefit. but
there is no doubt a great number who
are busily engaged through the day
and go to their home tired, finding
it easier to sit down with a ood book,
or magazine than to sirens or calling
and go out. But they enjoy having
{fiends come in to chat with them and
can't always expect them to come if
they do not. call in return, and so many
acknowledge that ending they are out
they enjoy themselves and will make
p, ractlce of going at least once or
c. a week that they should follow
9e promptings if they would not get
. into the habit. of isolating themselves
in their homes. '

BRIDGE FOR HIGHWAY
Governor Woodruif Sends Mes-
sage to Legislature, With
Proposition oi Pros. Mellen
EIIARTFORDL May 21.——(lovernor
Woodruff sent to the general assem-
bly today a message accompanying a
proposition from President Mcllcn, ot'
the. New Haven road, to lease. to the
state for highway purposes the bridge
over the. Connecticut river between
Saybrook and Lyme, which will be giv-
en up as a. railroad bridge upon the
completion of the new bridge on Jilly
i. The governor points out the ad-
vantages to be. gained by Securing
Ilu- bridge. (‘oincidenlnlly ibe desks
of each member bore a circular call.
lug attention to the “free bridge“ hear-
iiu,r this afternoon, in which the end
of" the toll bridge system in the slate
is predicted and urging every one to
attend the hearing.
The message follows:
To the General Assembly:
My attention has been called to the
fact that it will, be possible for the
state. of Connecticut to secure to the
public the right. of way across the Coir
uecticut river at Saybrook over the.
old railroad bridge operated by the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad (.‘ompany by entering upon
a lease for a long term of years, but.
at a nominal rental. The entire ex-
pense to the state would be the cost
of building approaches to the bridge
planking and doing such other work as
would make the bridge safe for use as
a highway.
entered upon, the cost. of maintenance
could bc cared for readily. The. ferry
at. that. point has not only been expcir
sive in maintenance but wholly inade-
quate for the traflic which has gmwn
rapidly and which is likely to grow
in the future very much faster.
Willie I am personally in favor of
abolishing all toll bridges. neverthe-
less 1 consider this proposition cntlre‘
ly different. from any other in the
state. in this particular case the
bridge. may be made a toll bridge. the
rate. of toll for foot passengers anti or»
dinary vehicles could be made uonr
iual, but. the advantages of such a
highway across the river in the ruse of
automobiles would be so great. that I
am confident. that. users of automobiles
would be willing to pay liberally. It
seems, therefore. that suillcicnt revc-
one would be derived from traillc
across the bridge to maintain it. in
good repair.
It IS my npinion that this opportun-
ity should not be lost without carci‘ul
and thorough investigation. As,this
recommendation requires legislative
action and as the New York. New lla-
vcn and Hartford Railroad Company
will probably be ready to turn the
bridge over on lease by July 1 of this
year, if your honorable body deem it
for the best interests of the. state,
prompt action will be necessary in the
promises owing to necessity ‘of sccnr-
lug sanction of the War Department.
1 would recommend that. the matter bu
referred to the conuuitice. on roads,
rivers and bridges for consideration
and prompt report and that if your
houorabde committee recommend ac-
tion in favor of the proposition suit-
able appropriation be made to put the
bridge in usable condition. 1 would
also recommend that the general as-
sembly take favorable action in the
premises that the. present. commission-
ers of the ferry at Saybrook and Lyme
be. made. commissioners in charge of
the toll bridge.
1 would also recommend that if your
lionoralile‘body deem it wise in au-
thorize the sanction of such a lease
as is herein recommended that the
governor and the attorney-generi‘ll bu
empowered on lbe part of the state.
to sign such a lcase with the railroad
coimntny.- I submit herewith a copy
of a letter reccivcd from (lllarlcs S.

Baby Chick Feed.
In buying Poultry Feeds and especially for little chicks you must be
familiar with the food stuffs on sale, because there is, a tendency on the
part of all millcrs to work off grain that is too poor to sell readily when
whole. Therefore it is important to know what to buy, how and where.
This year I have decided to make. a little chick feed, composed of choice
grains and seeds, carefully selected and perfectly granulatcd and screen
cd. I believe it is better than any bought from out of town (although I
will buy any brand you may desire) and if you will call 1 shall be pleased
to have you examine and compare. mine with any other. '
