Superintendent of Streets Harrak Smith
deserves hearty commendation for the
prompt and efficient manner m which
the slippery sidewalks were cared for
last week. This department of city af
fairs is evidently in able and energetic
Jiands.
The towns of Killingly and Thompson
tiave fallen into line the past week re
garding the muzzling and conlining of
dogs, brought about through the mad
dog scares which terrorized the nearby
towns. It is now the turn of Putnam
-officials to take action.

CUFFEE SUBSTITUTES
The National Druggist says that not
a few of the coffee substitutes which
are advertised as preferable to coffee
contain more or less coffee. This may
be tested by shaking a teaspoonful in
a bottle half full of water. The hot
tie must be thoroughly shaken, so as
to wet every particle of the sample,
when nearly all of the non coffee In
gredients will sink to the bottom
and the coffee float on the top. The
reason for this is that coffee contains
a large amount of oil which buoys up
the particles. I’eas, beans, wheat,
corn, chicory, etc., are heavier than
water and. having no oil. sink to the
bottom.
