r; ..WATER PRESSURE AT THE FIRE.
Difference of Opinion Between Fire
Chiefs Ind Water Commissioners.
‘l'l‘llero .is a considerable difference
of opinion between the water commis-
sioners and the officers of the South
Norwalk fire department regarding the
water pressure at the fire which par
tlally destroyed the National Oyster
Carrier Company' 5 plant In Water
street Monday afternoon.
The water commissioners expressed
the opinion that the fire furnished a
splendid exhibition of the water sys—
tem' a readiness to meet such an emer
gency by furnishing water in very
ample quantities.
The officers of the fire department
declare; on the other hand. that they
were greatly hampered in their work
by the low water pressure.
Chief Iiarold F. Clark, of the depart
ment, maintains that the fire empha-
.- sized the need of a fire engine very
strongly and desires to have the mat:
ter brought before the public. He says:
“We had four streams on the fire
and there was not one that could not
have been held by a twelve-year-old
boy.“ Not a stream would reach the
top of the building and we would have
been powerless but for the ladders.
You can see what the situation was.
when the captain of the tug Greenwich
offered to pump salt water on the fire
for us."
Chlci Clark has been at the head of
a movement to secure a tire steamer
for the city for several months. and
it is his intention f the step is legal
to have a city In otlng called to take
up the matter of a fire engine.

Movement That Has lacking of the
oer-man citizens.
A state-wide movement for more
liberal Sunday laws and a modifica-
tion of the statutes relating to liquor
licenses was inaugurated in Meriden.
Sunday afternoon. at an important
meeting of the executive committee
of the .Deutsohnr‘ Slants Verbena.
There were seventeen members pres-
ent; ”presenting as many cities and
towns. . '
It was voted to take an active part
in the coming election. and. while the
candidates of neither party will be on
dorsed those who are friendly toward
the Germans and are broad in their
views will be supported. The efforts
of the members of the organisation.
who number 14.600, will beconcentrat—
ed on the senatorial candidates.
Every candidate for speaker will be
approached, and asked to state his po
sition In reference to Sunday laws.
the liquor laws the state police and
the teaching of German in the public
schools. ‘
Regarding the business of the
meeting Mr. Keller said:
“We don't ask to have the saloons
open on Sunday, but do believe that
the liquor license law can be revised
in a manner that will do no one any
harm. The German people feel that
their pcrsm Ial liberty is in danger
and. as the rohibition party workers
havo approathcd candidates and ask
ed them to state their position, thc
Germans feel that they have tlIc
same right. and propose to do so.
"The Germans take the position
that they want to be left alone, and
not to be harrassed. and those can-
didates who show themselves to b'
friendly towards up and appear wil
ling to give the Germans what they _
consider to be their just rights will
be supported ioyally."
The committee went on record as
being in favor of Sunday. baseball.
and strong resolutions were adopted
fa 'oring the abolition of the state
poles. The agitation will be begun
at once and carried through to the
election in November. and when the
next January.
the work will be continued.
The lieutschcr Slants Vcrband is
composed of delegates froth the ecu
tral bands in the various cities and
towns of the state. The local bands
are in turn composed of delegates
from all the German singing, social.
fraternal, sick benefit and athletic or-
ganizations, and the state body repre-
sents about 85 per cent. of all the Ger.
man voters of Connecticut.

out of the roadway.
Mr. Kellogg began at the Wilton
town line. where the road ends which

Ridgefield, then for a short distance
in the town of Redding. then in the
town of Ridgefield again to a point

For wheat is the food of the odes. and
this“ Is its perfect form—flavored with pure
maple syrup.
The best time to try food fads is
not in hot weather.
In summer. a whole wheat. prop-
erly prepared. should form at least .
one meal a day.
Wheat produces the maximum of
nourishment and the minimum of
heat. It should largely take the
place of meat.
Pad foods cannot do that. Those,
of all times, are the days for the
practical.
Then we flake each berry to the
thinness of paper, and toast It at 400
degrees.
That long process, and that here.

digestive juices can get to them.
You get twice the food value from
Mapl- -Flake that you got iron: com-
mon flaked foods.
Then no part of the food ls left
to ferment—to irritate the stomach
lining.
Other methods are cheaper. We
could make a flaked food in ons-
fourth of the time. But would you
not rather have a food right-have

You cannot cook wheat as we
cook it. Nobody can.
We steam-cook it for six hours.

We cock out wheat in pure maple crop, mainly
for the children's sake.
You know how they like maple sugar.
why they like Mapl- -Flake.
They are delighted to eat It. as they should in
summer, In place of heavier food.
Let them have it tomorrow. if the food is half
as good as we say. it is better than other foods.
