WHEN IN DANBURY :: :: :: ::T:: ::
GO TO
A Fine Line of Baby
Carriages and Re
frigerators. Just received at Baker's Hawleyvilie Furni-
t ire Kinporium. You just ought to see them.
Some in rattan, soino in bamboo, some in
hard wood, .some in soft wood. Silk lined,
charcoal lined, left lined, zinc lined, crushed
plush and silk trimmed. Some have patent
idjustable parasol tops, others have little sil
ver faucets in the second story where you can
haw ice water. Some are oak, some are wil
low and nearly all have the latest improved
traps and overflow pipes. Some have patent
brakes on so that the wheels can be set solid.
This prevents the child from gravitating into
the river while the nurse steps around to see
a friend. Some are in the form of sideboards
ami have French plate mirrors and little slide
draws where you can cool bottles of of of
milk and apollmaris water. Wooden wheels
with iron tire, wooden wheels with rubber
tire, and steel wheels that never tire. Oh,
they are beauties and both lines just work to
perfection. A No. 5 size will, it directions are
carefully followed, freeze a 15-pound baby
quiet in eight minutes and solid iii SO. We
know men (real nice appearing men when
away from home, too,) who would gladly pay
our selling price just for the use of one ot
these number five's one night. That kind ot
men can't have them at any price of course
not, tiut you can have one at just what it is
marked and you know by this time that that
will be a very low figure. You had better
come right away or you may not be able to
find Hawleyvilie at all, after the grass gets
tall and the stately forests about here put on
their foliage, but if you do happen to find it
you will find one ot the largest and prettiest
stocks of f nrnitnre you have put j our eyes on
for many a dav.

Wile, will be read with great interest by
his friends in this section. Dr Wile oc
cupies a position as a leader in the medi
cal and business circles of Danbury.
Danbury has just passed through one
of the worst periods of business depres
sion the city has ever experienced, and
it has stood the ordeal well. There have
been no failures of any magnitude during
the entire period, are far from being des
pondent, the enterprising citizens are
looking on the bright side and are ready
to push ahead with renewed vigor.
Danbury has one disadvantage iu her
dependanee on one main industry. Hat
ting is the barometer which gauges the
activity or depression in business all
through the city, and the general dull
times all over the country, coupled with
special depression in the hatting business
and a local lock-out, combined to strike
an extremely hard blow to Danbury.
Iut Danbury came out on top, as she
always does, and circumstances are all
favorable for an early return of good
times as soon as the outside causes which

The following communication recently
appeared in the Jiew Haven jueaaer
Dear Sir: I noticed not long ago m
your paper the account given of liiver-
side institute, ueroy, uonn. ; its ueauu
f ul situation, surroundings, etc., and the
treatment afforded there for the victims
of morphine, alcohol, etc. '. The writer,
who was then under treatment for the
former disease, and recently recovered.
can say that all your correspondent
wrote in rezard both to the place and
methods of treatment are fully justified.
The remedies known as the Bellinger
German remedies are used and will, I be
lieve, do as much as remedies can for the
deliverance of those held captives in that
most helpless, hopeless bondage, result
ing from the continued use oi arug poi
sons. Their treatment for drink appears,
so far as the writer knows, successful al
so to a degree not less than other reme
dies longer-known. . Iam aware that
many people look upon the victim of
morphine as a moral leper and speak of
bis Ioolish "haDit.'.' ii naDic were ever
the proper name for it, it soon becomes a
terrible disease, sure to work out sooner
or later, not only its deplorable work on
body, mind and soul, but lead to a fatal
termination. The effects of the drug
especially on the nervous system is to
make it an- utter wreck, and it is so
peculiar in its manner of working there
is little to compare it with. It Is hardly
